I only wanted one...

I only wanted one...

I only wanted one fuggler! The "alley cats", "hairy fugs" and "SpongeBob" lines just finished and now they sell "thug life" and "laboratory misfits". I live in a small island so releases arrive with delay. What's the next collection? I would love to have a care bear fuggler, did I miss them?

Got a Grejsimojs green bear

I hate most of IKEA,s color choices, they are dull and boring. But sometimes they have a hot pink duvet, a purple carpet or a mint green plushie!!

After buying it I saw on the website it's a special edition. What does that mean for an IKEA product?

I love him, his shape is huggable, can be used as a pillow and the curled fur won't get ugly unlike regular fluffy fur.

Upcoming cashier interview: Advice on hiding MS symptoms (fatigue, urgency, and grip issues)?

Hi everyone!

I have an interview for a cashier position coming up. I’m a programmer by trade, but I’ve been out of the workforce for a while and I see this as a good "stepping stone" to get back into a routine.

The challenge: I have Multiple Sclerosis with a high disability rating. I am choosing not to disclose it because, realistically, I’m afraid I won’t get the job. In my previous desk jobs, I could easily hide my symptoms, but I know a retail environment will be much harder.

I’m looking for advice on how to manage/mask these specific symptoms during a shift:

Fatigue: I’ve tried caffeine and energy drinks, but they never worked.

Urgency: I need a bathroom break roughly every 2 hours. Incontinence pads/briefs are not enough, and adult nappies are tricky because they might show through the tight supermarket uniform.

Hand dexterity/Grip: I struggle to regulate the strength in my hands, and I often drop things. I might say I have a hand condition from working as a programmer.

I understand the importance of being over-prepared to "compensate" for my condition, but I’m worried about the practical side of things. Does anyone have tips on how to handle these issues discreetly while working a register?

Thanks!

So, I followed your advice and went back for Victoria and Michelle! I’m so glad I didn’t wait, on Sunday the shop had about 15-20 boxes of each, but today Dia was completely gone, there was only one Victoria left, and just 3 Michelles! I grabbed them both and I have zero regrets.

I’ve only unboxed Michelle so far, and I’m absolutely entranced. First thing I did was wash her hair. I’m not sure what the fiber is (maybe high-quality nylon?), but it’s so soft I can’t stop petting it! And it has two or three different colors.

Every detail is mesmerizing: the long nails, the fabric boots, the iridescent orange, and even the tiny details like the "real" zipper and the cutout in her dress. The accessories are on another level, too. The palette has a working hinge and a mirror, the phone has its own case, and even the stand feels so simple yet sturdy. Also, that hairbrush? It’s officially my new favorite. I’ll be using it for all my dolls from now on!

Overall, I LOVE her colorful cyber aesthetic. For a brand called Rainbow, I feel like many dolls stick to a more "ordinary" palette, but Michelle is such a refreshing, bold exception.

Anyway, thank you all for the push! I won’t stop collecting MH, but it looks like I’ll be splitting my budget with RH from now on.

Hi everyone! I’m primarily a Monster High collector, but I recently had a change of heart regarding Rainbow/Shadow High. I originally bought a Junior High doll and was super disappointed by the lack of wrist articulation and stands. I almost gave up on the line, thinking they were all like that. However, I just found a Dia Mante for €15 and I am blown away! The glass eyes, the outfit quality, and the articulation are incredible compared to what I’m used to. The shop also had Victoria Whitman and Michelle St. Charles for the same low price. I have a few questions for seasoned collectors: Does the quality of Victoria and Michelle match Dia Mante? I know sometimes "clearance" dolls are the ones nobody wanted for a reason. Is Victoria Whitman as good as people say? I’ve heard she’s a fan favorite because of her detail. I find her a bit bland, but I love the neon orange on Michelle. Are these two a good representation of the brand for someone just starting their RH/SH journey? I might start my collection with them! I’d love to hear your thoughts before I run back to the store! Thanks!
