Today I struggled with priorities... In a good way. After finding out TRU would be carrying AG just yesturday I was bent on being there to witness the craziness and purchase myself a doll. As of now they only have Wellie Wishers but they will be getting the Truely Me dolls soon. I was so happy to find the dolls but missed the special excitement from the AG stores. Since my dolls where not even on the shelf I really felt neglected lol. I will save a special trip... a lunch for myself at the AG store to purchase Melody and her studio! I want the total experience! Looks like me and the TRU crew will become good friends..

This morning marks a significant day for me as a professional doll collector. I think I just acquired the most unique doll in my collection. I noticed the dolls about a month ago while researching voodoo dolls on Ebay. Since learning I am a descendant from the Benin and Togo area of Africa I have been researching about their religion and trying to understand it more. I have also learned that my line of work has exposed me to homes where families may openly practice Voodoo or Santeria.. Much to my surprise, I came across this very creepy yet, familiar looking doll set. At first I could not put my finger on it but, after reading the caption .. I quickly remember this 90s Horror flick that eventually became a Urban Hit and today.. considered a horror classic.. produced by non other than Spike Lee the 90s horror flick TALES FROM THE HOOD... WAS A CREEPY RENDITION OF TALES FROM THE CREEP.. And Me, Yes Me, I have just acquired this aw...
I enjoyed your video of the TRU visit. It's good to know the Wellie Wishers and Truly Me dolls will be available at TRU. This is particularly good news for those who may not have AG stores nearby. An opportunity to see dolls in person is always better than viewing photos in a catalog or in online pictures.
