Toycember bonus It Came from the Toy Chest: Placeholder Irma

 Finally got an Alice without broken legs that I could disassemble and tear the bow on her back to make an Irma.

Disclaimer: the custom and rant were written in Late May during the purge for 2026 to attempt at least a 12 days of Christmas Advent Calendar and have some toys for Toycember.

Irma: April you're taller.
April: Irma, you were hit by a de-aging ray! Now you look like if you were 19.
Irma: Sweet! Gotta go! Need some Mistletoe and lonely college students!
April: Oh Irma!
Irma: If I were a man, this behavior would be considered creepy!

Yes, that's an Eleven head with some glasses from eBay. The only thing I did was sculpt some bangs and glue on the glasses. There were no further mechanical modifications to the head. It pops in perfectly into the Alice Body. The skirt is from an Arcueid figure. I bought just the skirt in 2023 or 2024. The sweater as from eBay well. I will need to ask for tips on sewing to make her sweater slightly more snug. 

Of course, I'd prefer to get an Official Irma figure, but Playmates killed the lien. Now I can have an Irma placeholder for my in progress TMNT display. 

Dec.18 Update:
I'm going to use the FTC Announcer instead.
I had to fill up eleven's head hole to fit the FTC Peg. Will get a new skirt...

Guess I'll make a Kala with the Alice body.

Toycember Bonus It came from the Toy Chest 27: Not a toy, but works as a prop

A BARBIE Stationary set that almost works as an Acrion Figure Power Wheels. Or if you haven't 3-D printer, you can make a base for it and have it act like a Kiddie Ride.

But for the sake of reviewing this, I need to point out what it truly is:

A deathtrap.

Yes, that's right, a deathtrap.

Had to use a letter opener to open the secret compartments, since they DO NOT OPEN AT ALL... unless you stick a knifeon the undercarriage and hood. This is supposed to be a stationery set for Little girls.

The steering wheel and column is a pen. The seats are stamps. The non-working wheels can hide rolls of stickers. The undercarriage can hide a set if stencils. There's a notepad that hides in the hood. Barbie Paper clips for the win...  but let's get to what we're waiting for:

Here it is in Toy Car mode. Looks nice doesn't it?

I'm  getting Barbie Corvette Power Wheels vibes...

Kaylee: Mister Nick why is your Dad whining about a Jorge Del Salto?
Nick (VO): It's got to be some old man thing.
Kaylee: But you're old!
Nick VO: Kaylee, don't say such things!
Kaylee: But you're dating my Mommy, that makes you old! 

It's not a great fit though, but it KINDA works from some angles.

Just don't look at it from above... if it had more leg room, I'd get one for Karen, which would be repainted in more badass color 

Since this isn't a toy, let's do something closer to a toy:

The Chelsea Tea party accessory pack... or whatever it's called.

It contains an outfit for Chelsea:

Dress, tiara, shoes. Teapot, teacup, plate with cupcake, plate for teapot.

I don't usually do Barbies, but the Dress looks like it could work on Kaylee or Karen.

The tiara and shoes, I cannot use on the figures due to the shoes being smaller than the FTC kid feet. The tiara is as big as their waist. Shoea may be useful as backdrop props.

The teapot is on scale, but the FTC figures have issues holding the teapot and teacup.

Some hold theirs better than others.

The Cupcake is glued to the plate. Which is a hassle, because I wanted to paint some details.

Last but not least...

The dress is a close to perfect fit to the kids. 

I wish I could find other Chelsea sized dresses for the current girls and possible future girls... official or customized.
