Temu Sells Dolls And They Are So Cute!

Hi Doll Friends!

This post has been in the works for months (I just checked and I got them on May 31st!) So it's been a minute since I got these dolls from Temu. Aren't they cute?

The one on the left really reminds me of Paola Reina Dolls. Her face sculpt really looks like one of theirs, I think. She is really cute, but her body is very 'cheaply' made. Think of those off-brand fashion dolls you find in the Dollar Tree that have hollow bodies. So I am not sure how long I'll keep her in my collection but it was fun to check her out. She cost me $12.59. 

This one is really very nice. I paid $15.29 for her. I think it's cute how they made her box look a bit like Glitter Girl dolls. She's 10inches not 14inches and so obviously the box is shorter. 

But look, the outfits on the back are total knockoffs of prior Glitter Girl fashions. Also, as you can see, the box came very 'mashed up' and her hair was a mess. 

This is the other doll in her box. Pretty 'generic' doll box really. 

As you can see, there are other 'models' of the same doll with different hair color options and outfits. 

I decided to show you how similar this box looks to the Glitter Girl box. Same colors and layout. Isn't that funny?

Here is the Temu doll next to two of my 'real' Paola Reina dolls. As you can see, she's just a touch shorter. Still, very cute!

She really is very pretty.

Then as you can see, the other doll is the same height as this one. 

Here she is with two Glitter Girls. I really love her little face sculpt though. I think she's a keeper. 

Then as I was looking at Temu in July, I saw two more dolls I was curious about. Here they are (above) with my Ruby Red dolls. The second from left and far right dolls above are two of them. Aren't they pretty? They were $10.98 each. They are really pretty good quality considering the low price point. 

They also have rooted hair which is very sparsely rooted. It is not a big surprise though considering 

Here is what one looks like on Temu. Obviously, the price went up since I purchased them. 

They didn't come in boxes, but rather just in these padded mailers. 

And baggies. Luckily they didn't get damaged despite being so unprotected by a box or better packaging. 

So... Temu Dolls can be fun and considering they aren't all that expensive, I can help but recommend adding them to your collection. Have any of you purchased dolls or doll accessories from Temu? As you know, I love their photography backdrops. I've also purchased tons of stickers, stamps and paper for paper crafting and card making. So it's become a bit of a guilty pleasure, putting in a little order when I get paid. 

Better run!

PS Here are the last two alongside several other similarly sized dolls in my collection. From left to right the brands are: Glitter Girls, Madame Alexander, Temu, Paola Reina, Ruby Red, (Drawing a blank on the one in orange, I'll find it and come back, Temu, Ruby Red and Wellie Wishers by AG. 

Temu Photography Backgrounds Are Fabulous!

Hello Doll Friends!

There are lots of opinions about Temu... Some people say that's it's a 'spy program' etc etc... I'm not sure how true that is? I didn't hear that until 'too late' anyway and I'd already downloaded the app and made an order. At first I was only ordering the adorable stickers and scrapbooking papers they have for unheard of prices. In fact, that is part of what pulled me back into my 'other' hobby of paper crafting. I've also ordered a bit of make-up, a few cute tops and some fun socks from them and also, very top notch. Especially for the prices they charge! So the last time I was filling up my buggy there for some reason a 'photography backdrop' came up in my suggestions. What?! There was a really cute one of what looked like a European village (60'x40') and it was only $5.50! So I popped it into my buggy and looked forward to seeing how it was. It arrived in the promised time window (usually about 10 days or they give you a $5 credit) on Monday. So yesterday I pulled it out and ironed it a bit (it was folded up so it had some fold lines) and... 

I totally love love love it! 

To give you an idea of how large it is, I took a photo of Nanea by it where you can see the whole thing. It's huge and perfect in size for doll photos! So I did a little photo sesh' with Nanea and Frann Doll!

I love love love how the photos came out! Now I've bought photography backdrops from eBay before and so I know they are available there too but I think the prices have gone up exponentially since the last time I bought some (in this and this post). I might go look there again sometime soon because I'd like to get a replacement for the graffiti wall one I used to own but that I lost along the way somewhere. So, below are the photos I took and some of them I made into an Instagram post even. Then below that...? Another backdrop of the ocean I decided I couldn't live without now that I knew they were good quality, that's on it's way. They also had some 'tapestry' suggestions come up and I looked at them and thought they'd make great backdrops too! Hopefully I'm right. Haha. So, when they arrive, I'll have fun taking photos with them and will come tell you all about it! Temu also sells some 18 inch doll items (mostly shoes and clothes) but I haven't taken the plunge on those yet because I have so so so many clothes and shoes for my dolls already! So, Temu, have you bought anything from there? What was your experience? Let me know in the comments. 

Better run!

More Backgrounds From Temu

 

Hi Doll Friends!

Y’all I got my second order of photography backdrops from Temu! I love them!! I mean technically these are called “tapestries” on Temu but I like them better than regular backdrops cos they are on actual cloth and have hemmed edges. I got five in this shipment and it was less than $25 for whole order! I may or may not end up with every single backdrop or tapestry they offer on there. Just look at the photos I got with them!

 So much fun!!

That’s all for now!
