Scooby-Doo Velma

I am finally taking some photos of dolls that have been arriving. Mattel's Scooby-Doo Velma Skipper recently arrived. 

I purchased her on an app called Poshmark that I also sell on as well. Here is the Link to my - My Closet on Poshmark.  Posh is a great place to sell clothing, but you can also purchase toys- such as dolls like Barbie, as well as home goods, - books, china, vintage items, etc. and I like selling there as well as purchasing too. You may have seen the commercial. 

I had had this doll a year or two ago, along with Shaggy and Daphne. I still have Daphne but for some crazy reason on one of my cleaning out the herd frenzies I decided to part with my Skipper Velma and my Shaggy. Why I do not know. I actually have two Scooby-Doo dogs, but cannot find the better one made of flocked resin right now. (He is probably lost somewhere in the doll room, lol) I do have this earlier version shown with my new Velma, that I dug up for the photos. 

I was amazed while browsing on Poshmark to find this Velma not only complete, with her glasses, shoes, and socks and outfit, but also with a cute Lego-like Velma for the awesome price...of wait for it....$10!!!! The only flaw with her is her shoe is split on one shoe. I believe this happened when the seller wrapped her in tissue and shipped her in a polymailer, which DID NOT please me when I received her, but I am not going to complain, as this price does not come along every day. (That did not include shipping and tax, which was about $7.84) priority mail. It irks me that the doll was sent in a polymailer as poshmark requires its sellers to use priority mail boxes. I guess since I am very detail orientated on my packaging when sending out items, I am picky how my dolls are packed. Velma was wrapped very poorly in some tissue paper that would not protect her from damage in a polymailer that had some thin bubble in it. sigh. Luckily she arrived ok with just a shoe damaged. 

I had never seen this little Lego-like Velma figure which is cute. I put it on my desk at work. Scooby-Doo has always been one of my favorite themes. 
Enjoy!

Scooby-Doo and the Gang!

One of the great things about doll and action figure collecting is we can make our favorite superheroes, cartoon characters, come to life. And Mattel helps us every now and then, and hits it on the mark.

After coming home from the Fashion Royalty convention, I had a doll, yes, a Poppy- specifically, Starlight Poppy- who I knew would be the PERFECT Daphne I had been looking for. I had always wanted to get the Mattel scooby-doo gang, so when I came home I immediately won a Shaggy with no shoes, and a lot including two Scoobys, various accessories, and a fully dressed Velma and a somewhat played with Daphne. All I wanted was her outfit. This one was not the first Daphne but the one with the pink trenchcoat.

Fred is going to be my Color Infusion Ace McFLY and I will probably have to make his outfit. The Mattel Fred doesn't do it for me, and the cartoon Fred had really puffy hair. Here are some pics of the gang so far.

Since Daphne's outfit is a little loud, I need to find that green scarf she wears, as well as some pink tights. The little pink glasses came in the lot today. Shaggy wears some earth sandals from a Ken outfit. I was really lucky to get all of these dolls, the two scoobys(the other one is an older version and not as nice as the one I took pics of) and their flashlights, cell phones and scooby snacks for less than $29 on ebay. More pics up later!
