My collections: Zelfs

I love toys.  When I'm a little old lady I'll probably spend my days wandering around my condo in Florida (Golden Girls style) dusting off my toy collections.
I first saw Zelfs in a little display in the toy aisle of Walmart.  They instantly transported me back to my 10 year old bedroom where I'd spend hours playing with my Troll dolls.  Zelfs are like "themed" Troll dolls.  Some themes are darker than others.  There are witch Zelfs and vampire Zelfs...
But there are also adorable foxes, red pandas, a unicorn...

Aliens!

I used to carry my Troll dolls in a McDonald's Happy Meal Halloween bucket.  I was pretty enamored of those fluffy haired cuties.

Lambs and Frankenstein monsters can be friends!

I got these cuties for Christmas this year.  Isn't that koala adorbs?

And my most prized Zelf: Pearleen!  She's the queen of the sea, obviously.  And queen of my heart.

What do you collect?

My log has something to tell you

I get that blind box toys are supposed to be bought unopened to achieve the maximum surprise factor, I had to make an exception for the Twin Peaks Bearbrick figures.

They only made two:  Laura Palmer and Special Agent Dale Cooper.  They each come with a little "Welcome to Twin Peaks" population card and they belong to the 21st series of Bearbrick toys in the "horror" genre.

Obviously, Coop seems tame in his suit and striped tie.

The owls are not what they seem.  Unless this one seems like a ceramic figurine to you.

And then we have Laura...

The award for most morbid toy goes to...

I can't decide whether or not I want to take her out of the plastic.  She seems more accurate this way.

My only regret is that there is no beach here to take these pictures.

And what better soundtrack for playing with your Twin Peaks toys than Julee Cruise on vinyl? This is a promotional copy featuring music from Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet.

Just try to remember you aren't actually in Blue Velvet and go wandering naked through your front yard.
