Look what I found at the Dollar Tree for $1.00!!!! I was totally surprised. I picked him up and thought, this can't be true. I heard children running in the store and I thought at any given moment some little kid would come to me and say "excuse me but that is my doll". I picked up a few items that I went in there for and made my way to check out. I held my breathe as the cashier scanned my items and then....the doll. She stated "I didn't know that we had these in here". I said, "I am so happy that you do. Do you have any more?". She said "no, but we will probably get some more in our next shipment". Can you guys believe it...$1.00! Wow! I am not sure who he will be in my stories or who he will date. Here is a mini photo shoot of TJ. I am thinking of calling him Kyle. What does he look like his name should be?
Of course I had to give him some facial hair.
His friend Mike came by to give him a welcome.
TJ (for now): Hello, pretty lady. My name is TJ.
Nadja: silence...
TJ: May I please have a moment with you.
Nadja: No! (She kept walking without ever looking back).
It didn't take him long before he bumped into Nikki who had plenty of conversation for him. Those FR girls can be some mean girls sometimes. Lol!
Thanks for stopping by.
Be blessed!

Nice find - and what a great price!
ReplyDeleteI am super excited to get him for $1.:-)
DeleteWOW..... GREAT FIND, Mmm now I'll be looking :-D
ReplyDeleteHi LaDonna. I have gone to three Dollar Trees and have not had any more success. I have seen the little Kenya dolls there, but not the fashion dolls.
DeleteHello from Spain: fabulous purchase. I like very much your new guy. Fabulous makeover. Great pics, Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteThanks Marta! :-)
DeleteI know! I saw one and grabbed it. Been calling around to other dollar trees. They all said they flew off the shelves!
ReplyDeleteHey grandmommy that is great that you were able to get one!! Have you seen the little Kenya dolls? I have seen a couple of those.
DeleteWhat?! Now I gotta stop at Dollar Tree on my way home. Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteHey Jewell, I hope you are able to get one. I have gone to three different ones thus far but to no avail. I will keep looking. Of course if I find more I will pick him up for you.
DeleteGreat find! He's very cute! Kyle sounds good, I also like Eriq (yes, after the actor who played my favorite doctor in E.R. Eriq La Salle :-D ).
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I think I like Eriq better. Thanks for the name. I hope I don't forget by the time he makes it into a story. Lol!
DeleteHilarious. A brotha can't get no play from a tall girl? LOL!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe you got him for dollar. They were never in one of mine (I frequent two weekly). What a find! Congratulations!!!!!
Hi Jaye. Thank you! :-) You have to check them all out. I am still looking for more. It is truly amazing that they were able to send them to the Dollar Tree. I remember back in the day, Big Lots had the surplus Mattel dolls. Now Big Lots prices are just as high as anyone else.
DeleteOh, I forgot to comment on "a brother can't get no play from a tall girl". Lol!! It is that the FR girls all have major attitude in my doll world. The M girls hold their own and are very secure especially since they out number the FR divas. Lol!
DeleteWow... what a find! I guess I need to head to Dollar Tree this weekend. I was just in that shopping complex two days ago, but needed nothing from there, so drove right past.
ReplyDeleteI like the mustache and beard you gave Kyle and I like his name too. This head sculpt has always reminded me of an actor from back in the day, Calvin Lockheart as seen here.
Congratulations on such a great buy!

I am amazed that this company sold their leftovers to the Dollar Tree. I wonder if this means that they will not create new dolls. I hope you are able to find one.
DeleteI agree Kyle or whatever his name will be does remind me of Calvin Lockheart as well.
Congrats on that SUPER find. MEGA THANKS for sharing, too.
ReplyDeleteFR and NuFace gals are recognized snobs; they're just created that way, lol.
Eriq is a good name for him. Also Taye, Taj, Tiger, Tony, Tommy ....
He has a cousin, too, Mr. T.J. Dwayne ;-)
Hi D7ana. Thank you for the names!! I agree with you about the FR and NuFace chIcks. They are all like that. Lol!
DeleteI would totally purchase him for a buck! What a find! I will be looking in my local dollar tree for him! Nikki's head is big enough to not make his head look so big too! Congrats on getting him!
ReplyDeleteHi Ms Leo, thanks! I was so excited to get him. I need more guys with different faces. I hope you are able to find him.
DeleteWow! I wonder what happened with the company that these ended up at the Dollar Store?! Heck, not that I'm complaining, because that's a good deal for the clothes alone. Thanks for telling us!
ReplyDeleteI am wondering the same thing! If they can sell this doll for $1.00, how much does it really cost to produce one. I hope you are able to find him.
DeleteSee now you're going to have stalk the Dollar Tree. Facial hair looks really great!
ReplyDeleteLol! I needed to just to get some more male clothes. I love that atleast his knees are articulated.
DeleteCool! These dolls sell for $20 at least on ebay, great you could find him for only $1.00! I've been tempted to buy a few for the clothes, especially the men.
ReplyDeleteI was very excited to get him for a buck. I have visited several stores, but have had no luck in finding more. I hope you are able to find him.
DeleteWOW, great find! I always walk down the doll aisle in the Dollar Tree because you never know what you will find. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vanessa! I agree you never know what you will find at the Dollar Tree. I have seen the little Kenya dolls in there also. I wish they would bring back those chairs that they had once upon a time.
DeleteWow! He was quite a catch!
ReplyDeleteLucky Nikki and lucky you for that $1 treasure!
Thanks Shasha! I am very happy to get him. I have not been able to find any more though.
DeleteBam! I've tagged you for the Liebster Blog Award. I enjoy reading and seeing your posts. When/if you get a chance ;-)
ReplyDeleteLol! Okay D7ana, I will try to make a post this weekend.
DeleteHi. I just found your blog. Great stuff! I'll be following you.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Phila. and when I saw these dolls, I literally froze in my steps. I got all 6 of them! I've been collecting this line for years and I know how much they're worth. I went around the truth-state area looking in Dollsr trees and found more. I'll use them in my dioramas as twins, siblings and relatives. I, too, will give some facial hair using flocking. Looking forward to the story lines.
