Amazing Elsa speed drawing

Diana Diaz draws some pretty good looking characters, don't you think? She also drew Ariel♥ and a few How to train your Dragon characters, among others. Take a look at Elsa's drawing! :D

Sailor Moon oldies

I went to my mother's house today... and everytime i go to my old bedroom, i enjoy watching some of my toys still on the shelves (most of them are tucked away in boxes). When i was younger i liked painting on wood, fabric, ceramic... and today, watching some speed paintings and Trudie's Shopkins tutorials, made me want to try them again. :)
So, anyway, i'll just leave you with a few pictures i took from my old bedroom. Warning: VERY amateur work. :P

Haruka and Michiru
One of the paintings i did back in 1998 when Sailor Moon was all i could think of... (well, sort of). I smudged the signature, it sucked. :P



Chibiusa in a blue dress
Another painting i did, in 1999, this one with the cute Usagi "Chibiusa" Tsukino, daughter of the 30th century's Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion.


Some oldies Sailor Moon toys
Some of the oldies Sailor Moon toys, Including a much beloved Moon Castle, the five sailors dolls (Sailor Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus), one of the small houses (that one belongs to Venus and is a karaoke house, if i remember correctly).
There's also a Sailor Moon carriage in the back, Prince Endymion and a sneaky Ma Beagle, from The Beagle Boys, that i have no idea how it got there. :D

A Kawaii Family and their kawaii toys

A cute video showing some of the Disney toys you can get in Japan, from My Kawaii Family.
Have a look! My favourite is Ariel and Marie (which i hadn't heard of until now). Which one's yours? :)




PS. - I did take a look at the dictionary, Kawaii means lovable, cute or adorable. Words that fit these toys and the family pretty well. :)

Funko Pop! Vinyl

I must say, before starting Mariana's Youtube channel and this blog, i was a very, very casual toy appreciator. There were some oldies like Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball that i liked very much, and which i will show when i have a bit more time, since they're at my mother's house... :P but other than that...


When Game of Thrones' first Pop figures came out, it was the first time i heard of Funko Pop! (can you believe it?...) and a couple of days ago i visited their site only to find they have such a HUGE amount of figures from all kinds of series and movies!



So, right now, i'm very much enjoying to be more aware of what toys exist around the world (because most likely i won't be seeing most of them for sale here in Portugal... -_- )



And here's some of my favorite Funko Pop! Vinyl:



 The Little Mermaid Ariel had to be here, of course. :>

 Game of Thrones' Ygritte :'(

Dragon Ball Z's Vegeta ♥ 

The lovely Cheetara, from the original 80's Thundercats

World of Warcraft's Dark Lady Sylvanas

While searching on Twitter, i came across this LEGO Ideas site. If you have any interesting ideas for creating a new LEGO set, this is the place to go. Your idea will be on display to gather support and, if your project reaches 10.000 supporters within one year, it will go on to be reviewed by LEGO itself and might get approved. :)
These are the latest aproved projects:

As you can see, this last one is already for sale in stores. And it's my favourite. :)

Here's some of her work. Do you have a favourite?

Perfect for Snow White. :) 

This has Ariel's name written all over!

Elsa's dress? :O

This would look very well on Jasmine.

 I think the Beast would love this Belle's dress, don't you? :)

Would you eat these lovable cupcakes?!

I wouldn't, they'd go right in the shelf for display (if i could resist them)! They are so detailed, they really look like dolls.
These adorable cakes were made by Fernanda Abarca, who works at DreamWorks Animation.
You can visit her site here: http://www.fernandaabarcacakes.com/
Here's some of her lovely work.







Fantastic, don't you think? :D
