    My Avar and Oola will be heading off to Morgan (probably this weekend) so she can start making their outfits. I have doll for Bell Zettifar. I still have a little work to do on Ember but the dog is coming out great (ignore the fact that it's a boy and not a girl).

    I bought a wicked witch doll that I will reroot with purple hair to become Vernestra. She and Bell with be my next wave of dolls to get Jedi robes made for them.

    I also got the head for my Stellan Gios. I need to dig into my closet and pull out my box of 1/6 scale body parts to get him a body. I have a Stephen Amell Arrow figure that I'd made that I don't want to display (I only had street clothes) so I can steal his body to use.

    For the Padme fans- there's going to be a new Loungefly mini backpack released in the next few days or so. It's got an all over pattern of some of her outfits from TPM and AOTC with really pretty burgundy trim. If interested follow this insta account

    https://www.instagram.com/cordys_corner/

    There's a preview of the bag there.

    They recently released one for Anakin and one for Obi Wan. So good to see PT era merch coming out.

    Loungefly is killing my wallet right now. First Anakin, then Obi Wan, then they announced a light up R2 version, plus a new Han Solo bag and now Padme.

    I like this aop better than the first Padme bag they did.

    I really did like that Queen Amidala one that they did a while ago. But man, I only have so much room for stuff. As it is I need to reorg my room entirely. I'm on a drive to get books. I realized once The High Republic started that I hadn't really bought Star Wars books since the days of the prequels.

    Soooo many books to buy. Other than The High Republic books that I'm utterly bonkers for I've been enjoying reading the prequel books. I don't care if the books are Legends or Canon, I can compartmentalize what timeline the stories belong to. I recently finished "First Shot" the canon Lando/Han book. It was fun. Another super funny book is "Lords of the Sith" - there truly is nothing funnier than watching Vader get more and more frustrated as things spiral out of control around him.

    I'm thinking I might redo my blog some and start reviewing books then set up an IG page for it. Maybe I can start getting sent some free advanced books to review :)

    Books (particularly used books) are cheaper than artist pins and/or 1/6th scale figures though. Excluding that XXL prequel book :p

    I sent off my first two dolls to get customized - I'm excited! I keep randomly sending her payments so she can get working on them. I have no idea where I am in her work queue. Lots of doll people have her making stuff.

    You're welcome! I grabbed one too because I love the coloring. The burgundy trim is so pretty.

    I ordered this, it arrives Friday, as should my backpack. The coin is different for me, it has value no matter what!

    I just feel the need to say how exciting collecting has been for me lately! As you well know I am a Queen Amidala and Princess Leia centrist collector. In the last two months I have purchased 8 Padme Amidala items that are official merch, numerous stickers, pins, wall art, and Leia statue purchase, 2 Loungefly, 2 preorders, and I forget what else……… I am having a ball!!!

    I don't know, it's nice though. I love the new Endor Leia 6" figure, Endor Mini-bust, and the new Padme Pop.

    Ok here we go again.

    I checked Box Lunch this morning and they have added a bunch of new merchandise. Jewelry (Padme's Naboo necklace), prequel character chibi pins, bags etc. My guess is that some of it is from Celebration. Lots of Padme this time around.
