I was happy to read in the comments of the World Peacekeepers review that some of you are as excited about Lena and Ian's relationship as I am. Lena doesn't really want me to talk too much about it here yet, but I can tell you that they've been chatting on the phone and have made tentative plans to get together again. I hope the romance can stay alive without the beautiful sunsets of Culebra!
Speaking of Culebra, before we went on our trip, I hunted around for water-themed dolls that I could bring with me. The best options were some blind box BJD mermaids that looked like they might be waterproof. I've written a lot of reviews of this type of doll lately, namely the Street Series Adou boys and Natural Wonderland Antu girls from Penny's Box, and the Come4Free Bonnie dolls. But I figured it couldn't hurt to explore one more style of blind box BJD.
This time around I'm going to introduce a little competition into the mix by comparing the Penny's Box interpretation of a mermaid to similarly-sized mermaid characters from LuckyDoll. This is a bit of a surprise-themed post since I'm not going to reveal which mermaids I got right away, but the timing didn't quite work out for a Sunday Surprise. Nevertheless, here are the two contestants, still hidden away inside their boxes:
Tidal Secret Language by Penny's Box ($39.99) and Mermaid Chuchu by LuckyDoll ($29.99). |
