During the original run of this blog, I used to spend hours on here, and I still occasionally think "oh, Emily Toyboxphilosopher would like this" when I'm unboxing or looking at a doll. juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06540716627086721192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-35270528727645404422021-11-09T14:17:27.179-05:002021-11-09T14:17:27.179-05:00Hi Emily!

I was never a fan of these particular dolls, but they seem to be very "addictive" to some of the other adult toy collectors I follow on Youtube. Maybe it's just the fun of trying to get each charactor?Farrahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01131848005650508647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-22014251149880558102021-11-06T11:35:47.668-04:002021-11-06T11:35:47.668-04:00The doll line may have "Surprise" in the...The doll line may have "Surprise" in the name but the real surprise was your return, welcome back Emily!!

I came back to reread all about the my twinn adventures, and was super shocked to see a new review.<br /><br />I think Samantha and Andre are much cuter than Alaska. There's just something creepy about how large Alaska's forehead was. Samantha has cute bangs to hide hers, and Andre is cuter in such a small size.

I have a couple of them because I love all the boys. This line at least has choices there. I feel like they could keep the surprise element by varying the accessorie that come with each one.
