The pony that started it all.
Hi, I'm Cherry. This is my blog where I talk about toys and occasionally make some rambles. I do curse a bit so... kiddies beware!

Why I'm Cherry
Okay so my real name is Audrey as I've mentioned in other posts but this blog is called "Cherry Rambles." Well, I'll tell you why and I'll try to make it short. In December 2012 I got my first G4 MLP, Cherry Berry. I became obsessed with her and named all my online profiles after her. Because Cherry was in my username everybody just started calling me that so now that's what I go by online.
Full-sized Lalaloopsy Collection
Alright, alright. I'm bored so I decided I'm gonna make this post about my full-sized Lalaloopsy collection. I've been collecting them since May 2011 but haven't bought any recently because I'm not really into Lalaloopsy anymore. Here they all are: (Sorry about the lighting)
13 Lalas and 6 Littles
My regular full-sized Lalas are: (in order from left to right)
Suzette La Sweet
Silly Hair Peanut Big Top
Tippy Tumbleina
Prairie Dusty Trials
Little Bah Peep
Pearly Seafoam (we share the same birthday, which is the only reason I got her)
Dot Starlight
Forest Evergreen
Teddy Honey Pots
Mango Tiki Wiki
Sweetie Candy Ribbon (I almost forgot her name!)
Queenie Red Heart
Coral Sea Shells
I got Mango at a thrift store without her pet, and she's in Snowy Fairest's shoes. And my Pearly Seafoam has some paint missing on her torso because she's painted with a different kind of paint and when I was trying to get her out of the box I used a huge pair of scissors to cut through these tough wires holding her body down and some of her paint flaked off. :/ Now onto my Littles!
My Littles are: (in order from left to right)
Mimi La Sweet
Silly Hair Squirt Lil Top
Twisty Tumbleina
Trouble Dusty Trails (wouldn't Meadow have been a cute name for her?)
Whiskers Lion's Roar
Sprinkles Spice Cookie
Sprinkles I also got at a thrift store without her pet, shoes, or apron. I think she should have little shorts too but she didn't have those either. I really wish I had Bow Bah Peep, Little Bah Peep's sister, because Little Bah Peep is one of my all time favorites and I think Bow is really, really cute but sadly I was never able to find her in my stores. I wasn't able to find any of those flower minis either, but apparently that was common I think? I don't know, I don't really care that much about Lalaloopsy anyway. I used to absolutely love them a couple years ago, though. I played with the minis all the time but never really played with these full sized ones. It's pretty stupid wasting all that money on them if I don't even play with them and they just take up space.
Oh, and here are their pets. Poor lighting again, sorry.
(If you look in the top right corner you can see my cat!)
You can clearly see I have Snowy Fairest's squirrel even though I don't have Snowy herself. That actually came with Sprinkles at the thrift store! I wonder if Sprinkles, Mango, and the squirrel were all once owned by the same person considering Mango's in Snowy's shoes and Sprinkles came with Snowy's squirrel... We'll never know! (BTW if you're wondering why they're in a sled it's because I store all my full sized Lalaloopsy in a sled under my bed)
That's all I have for now! Before I end this post I'd like to leave you with a picture of my cat Rico and Prairie's pet cactus who at one point I named Spike:
Rico: "Get this THING away from me, you crazy idiot!"
Well, that's all I have for now. Goodbye!
Yummiland Soda Pop Pets
Alright, now it's time to show you my Yummiland Soda Pop Pets collection. I'm not entirely sure exactly how many there are of these guys, or even when they first came out. I remember buying some in 2007 so I'm gonna guess somewhere around then.
Here's the collector's guide. This should be most of the soda pop
pets but I own some that aren't on this list and I've seen more that
aren't on this list so, yeah, pretty confused.
Soda Pop Pets are small scented pets that are all babies. These guys came in little bottles like the Yummiland girls, except they were much smaller and came with a velcro ribbon that you could tie around your neck. The caps on these bottles also had messages on them. Each pet came with a small removable pacifier that was held around their neck by a velcro ribbon, a bottle that would fit in their mouths, and a small cloth blanket. They all had diapers on and had bows that either had polka dots on them or stripes.
I bought my first Soda Pop Pets in around 2007 and didn't buy TOO many more, but a fair amount. I bought two playsets and lost all the accessories from one and all but one accessory from another. I lost all their bottles, blankets, and bottles. I also snipped the ribbons off from around their pacifiers because some of their ribbons didn't want to stay fastened on. Because the pacifiers are so easy to lose... I lost quite a few of them. :P And I lost a couple of the pets, but more on that later. Most of mine have lost all their scent from being stored together all these years. Let's show you my Soda Pop Pets collection! Besides showing you the pets I own I'll also tell you all the personalities I gave these guys when I played with them because I used to play with these guys a LOT.
My 17 pets!
They're grouped together by who they were originally sold with.
I'm not going to list them all individually right here, so I'll just tell you about them as I show you more in depth pictures of them. To start, we have the first Soda Pop Pets I ever bought:
(From left to right) Suzie Sweetpea and Bebe Baby Powder
My first few Soda Pop Pets have always been my favorites. Suzie and Bebe were always best friends when I played with them. Bebe tended to hang out with the tough crowd while Suzie always stuck to some of the nicer pets. Bebe always pretended she was really tough but deep down she was a softie. And Suzie was always really kind but wasn't afraid to stand up for what's right.
I lost Bebe's pacifier ages ago and lost Suzie's too but found it in a box a couple years ago and so now she has it again, miraculously. Although you probably can't tell in the picture, both pets are really well-loved. Suzie's pretty beat up and Bebe's face is really yellowed. Geez, if they're looking this rough and they're not even 10 years old... I can't imagine what they'll look like in another 5-10 years! Now we'll move onto the next pets I got. Isn't it weird that after these years I can still remember the order in which I got some of them?
These guys came together in a playset called "Super Sweet Snack Time"
From left to right they are: Sailor Cinnamon, Carly Carrot, and Yuki Yogurt
These guys are extremely sentimental to me because the day I got them was the day my cat Rodman died. It was the first time I'd ever lost a pet before and it was really hard. I can still remember sitting with them at the kitchen table the day I got them and playing with them. When I played with them, Sailor was always the leader of the tough group of pets and she loved to pick on poor Yuki. Carly, who was always levelheaded, would be sure to put a stop to it. Carly was always looking out for the little guy while Sailor was looking out to crush them. And Yuki was just a smart alec and loved to correct other pets. One thing that always confused me was Sailor. What the hell IS Sailor? Is she a bunny? A mouse? Who knows!
I lost all the accessories from the playset they came in, including this really cute box of corn flakes. You may notice I lost Yuki's pacifier... Well, for many years I actually lost Yuki as well! I lost Yuki for a long, long time and never thought I would find her again. Then one day in late 2011 I was playing with this white castle toy that I got at KB Toys ages ago. The spires on this playset were removable, and I happened to remove one of them and almost crapped my pants when I saw Yuki Yogurt wedged in there. That's where she'd been, all this time! I'd probably had Yuki be forced into that spire when Sailor and all her friends had been bullying her and forgot about her all that time! Too funny. Also, all these guys are beat up but Sailor and Carly are more beat up than Yuki because for years I could never play with Yuki since I lost her. Anyway, that's enough about them. Now onto my next playset.
These guys came together in a playset called "Cutie Critter Nursery"
From left to right: Suki Strawberry, Abby Apricot, and Pammy Plum
Haha, again another pack that has a confusing animal in it. For years I never knew what exactly Pammy was but now I'm pretty certain she's a lamb. Also, as you might notice I was able to save one accessory from their playset: The little crib they came with! I think I also have a small stuffed rabbit that came with this playset around here somewhere but I didn't feel like digging it up for the picture. Suki actually got lost for a brief while a bit after I got her but I found her in this glittery purple case one day. I have no idea why I put her there. I only lost her for a couple weeks or months, not years like how I lost Yuki.
When I played with them, Abby was a part of Sailor and Bebe's tough crew. She was the strong silent type and would usually do whatever Sailor told her. Suki was the sister of my other cat Soda Pop Pet, Penny Peach. Both of them hardly ever talked and they mostly hung around each other but sometimes hung around Suzie Sweetpea. Pammy Plum was really sweet and shy and she was one of Suzie's best friends. Now we move onto some of my other pets.
From left to right: Sarah Cereal, Penny Peach, Haley Honey, and Payton Pudding
Sarah Cereal and Penny Peach came together. When I was little I liked to pretend that Sarah's nut was actually an oddly shaped baby bottle, haha. :P Sarah was Sailor's right-hand man--er, squirrel--in her tough little outfit. Sarah and Penny used to be best friends, but after Sarah joined Sailor's group she pretty much cut Penny off. Penny just went back to her sister Suki Strawberry and tried to forget all about Sarah.
Moving onto Haley and Payton. I thought Haley's kitty mold was adorable and for ages I really wanted either Haley or Cece Sweet Potato, another cat in Haley's mold. Well, one day I was finally able to get Haley. The sad part is that she never really "came alive" to me like the other pets did. It's like that a lot when I buy a toy I've really wanted. They just don't come alive. Anyway, I just made Haley a mute. She never really talked but the other pets always thought she was intimidating because of her large size. Payton, however, was always pretty rude to other pets and only hung around Haley.
Now onto their defects. Penny's an interesting case. Unlike Suki, she actually has claws painted on. And yeah, she is missing her pacifier but she's also got this purple dot on her nose that's either there because of a factory defect or because I did something to her nose. There's nothing really wrong with Haley, except her tail and body are a different color but you can't see that in the picture. And there's nothing I can think of that's wrong with Payton either. Now we move onto the last pets I got. These next pets I got for Christmas in... 2008? Is that right?
Pinkie Popsicle
Pinkie's different than my other pets. She was sold singly, and her pacifier is larger than that of the other pets. She's also missing an ear! Yeah, one day I just... pulled it off for some reason. Unlike my Yummiland pet Betsy Bubblegum Bunny, her ears weren't removable and I just ripped one off. I always pretended Pinkie was really wacky and silly and loved to drive her bumper car around and annoy everybody else. She liked to hang around with the other silly pets.
And the last pets we have are the silly ones! I, erm, forgot to take a picture of them today and don't feel like taking another one... So instead you can have one from 2012 that I took with my DSi! Hurray!
From left to right: Parker Peanut, Isabella Ice Cream, Mallory Marshmallow, and Pooky Pretzel.
Parker & Isabella came together, and Mallory & Pooky came together
So yeah, I never really liked these guys all that much. The silly pacifiers weren't really my thing, so I usually just took them off when I played with them. My favorite of these guys was Mallory, because of course she's a cute little kitty and she also smelled really good. She reminded me of shampoo. Isabella smelled nice, and Pooky smelled salty and Parker smelled... like spices? That's the only way I can describe it. I hated it. But Parker is cute, I have to admit.
All the silly pets were made fun of by Sailor's group because of what they wore, but Mallory put an end to all this teasing by saying that appearances don't matter in the long run. Because of this she was accepted into Sailor's group, and she would always stop them from doing anything too stupid. Isabella was very fancy-schmancy and pretentious. I don't even remember who she used to hang around. Pooky and Parker were actually the only boys in my collection, and they loved to hang out together and do stupid guy things. Pinkie used to hang around them too, even though she's a girl. They didn't mind.
Geez this is another long post. I tell myself, "Don't go online too long today!" And so what to I do? Spend forever making two posts on my blog. Oh well at least I had fun doing it. :P Bye for now!
Yummiland girls collection
When I was around five or six is when Yummiland came out, I think. It's made by MGA Entertainment, who make Bratz and Lalaloopsy and Num Noms. They're small dolls that are all scented and smell like what they're named after. They all came with pets, and they were scented too. They each came in clear soda bottles that doubled as doll stands. Each bottle had a plastic cap on it that had this "secret message" on the other side. It would say something random like "You're sweet!" Here's the Yummiland collector's guide so you can get a feel of them:
I loved Yummiland when it first came out, and the first dolls I remember seeing were the Soda Pop Girls so that's what I always called them, even when they were the Flower Pop Girls or whatever else. This post will be showing off my collection of Yummiland girls and their pets. Next I'll make a post showing off my Soda Pop Pets, which are also part of the Yummiland line. What you won't see in this post is my large styling head of Susie Strawbella, because sadly I don't know where that is. If I find it I'll make a post about it though because I had a lot of fun with that head.
Pretty cute, right?

If I find it I'll make a post about it though because I had a lot of fun with that head.
Here's my entire collection. Yeah, some of them aren't wearing their original outfits.
Some of them I don't remember the names of and I had a hell of a time trying to find them since this line is pretty obscure anymore. From left to right you see:
Gracie Grape Watermelon (Sno Cone Girls)
Natty Nutty Sundae (Sundae Pop Girls)
Sara Strawbella (Soda Pop Girls)
Lindsay Lue Lilac (Flower Pop Girls)
Roslyn Roxy Rose (Flower Pop Girls)
Betsy Bubblegum & her pet Susie Sprinkles Seal (Ice Cream Pop Girls)
Carrie Cherry Creme & her pet Betsy Bubblegum Bunny (Creme Soda Pop Girls)
Candy Coconut Creme & her pet Posy Popcorn Poodle (Creme Soda Pop Girls)
Gabby Grapelina & her pet Mimi Mango Calico (Soda Pop Girls)
What, two Betsy Bubblegums?! Good one there, MGA. Real nice. I obviously don't have Betsy or Natty's original outfits, but more on that in a bit. Let's look at the pets first.
A real motley crew we have here.
First we see Susie Sprinkles seal from behind. Why? Well, so you can see the marks on her back of course! These pets were stored in my basement for a while next to some ink stamps that we used to play with and I think some of them rubbed off on poor Susie and stained her. (They also stained some Bratz pets too) I think that since it's purple they look a lot like bruises as if she just got clubbed. :P God I'm horrible. At least she still has her ice cream accessory on her head, though!
Next we see Betsy Bubblegum Bunny... Who's deaf for some reason?! Her ears were removable, and me being like 6 or 7 I took them out and lost them. Poor Betsy. I also lost all her accessories.
Second to last we see Posy Popcorn Poodle. She still has her necklace accessory, but is missing one that goes on her head and possibly more. She's still pretty cute and doesn't have anything wrong with her at all!
Last but certainly not least is Mimi Mango Calico, the first Yummiland pet I ever owned. Unlike the rest of the pets, she's NOT a bobblehead but instead has six points of articulation in her legs, head, and even tail! She originally came with a skirt and crown but I lost them. There's nothing really wrong with her but she does have some scraped paint on one of her front paws. She's my favorite of all these pets because she was my first one so that's pretty sentimental to me, she's got articulation, and she's a cat! I just love cats. I even have one of my own named Rico.
Here he is. What a cutie!!
Next we'll move on to some up close shots of my Yummiland girls. First we'll start of with my three favorites.
(From left to right) Carrie Cherry Creme, Gabby Grapelina, and Roslyn Roxy Rose
I'll start of with Gabby because she was my first one! I always played with her the most for some reason. She was always the protagonist in the little adventures my Yummilands used to go on. She's really well-loved and has some blue nail polish stains on her forehead (thankfully her bangs cover them up) and she has a hole in her dress and some paint wear on her sandals. If you really sniff her head she does have a bit of scent remaining, too!
Then Roslyn, because she was always my second favorite. I always imagined she and Gabby were cousins because they both have black hair. Roslyn's dress is kinda mangled and her hair's a bit messy but other than that she's in really good shape. She still has a powerful scent, too! I bought Roslyn at Walgreens ages ago and she never came with a pet? I don't know if she ever did come with one but mine didn't. Everybody always thought Roslyn was gorgeous when I played with her and she was always really kind but really naive. She'd always get herself into situations that Gabby would have to get her out of.
Finally Carrie. Carrie's lost all her scent now because for some reason when I was 13 I thought it would be a good idea to wash her hair to try to tame its frizz?? It didn't help the frizz at all. I put it in a bun because it's untameable and I can't do anything else with it. I lost some of her accessories but hey, at least I still have her pet! She was always really snotty and pretentious when I played with her. She was really rich, too. I think I made her act that way because she came with this fur that she wore around her neck and I thought it was like animal fur that rich people always wear.
Next we have the remainder of my original Yummiland collection. This time I'll talk about them in order as they're pictured and not just randomly.
(From left to right) Candy Coconut Creme, Lindsay Lue Lilac, Sara Strawbella, and Betsy Bubblegum
I got Candy for my birthday a while back. She also came with some fur to wear around her neck but I don't ever remember having it? I must've lost it like right after I got her. I remember for some reason I picked off all the glitter on Candy's dress so now it looks bland and boring. For some reason I never really played with her that much either. In fact I don't really have that many memories of Candy at all because I know I lost her for a long, long time and I just found her again a couple years ago and was really excited when I found her. Maybe I didn't play with her because I lost her?? She also has untameable hair and instead of putting it in a bun I pulled it back into a ponytail held together with a ribbon that came with a Build-a-Bear of mine. I think she looks really cute now!!
Next it's Lindsay. I could never remember her name when I was little for some reason, but I can now. She's got a really strong scent too, like Roslyn. Maybe it's like that with all the Flower Pops? I lost her shoes a while ago as you can probably see. Like Roslyn, my Lindsay didn't come with a pet either. Is there a reason behind this? I'll Google it. Oh okay well apparently I got single versions of the girls, and there were variants that sold pets. Roslyn's supposed to have a pug, and Lindsay's supposed to have a gray cat in the same mold as Mimi Mango Calico. Ugh, and they look articulated too! Why couldn't I have bought them instead? Okay, I'm getting off track. Anyway Lindsay has very pretty eyes, they're really colorful. I think that's my favorite thing about her. For some reason I never liked Lindsay that much when I was little. I always made her act snotty and pretentious like Carrie, but Carrie at least had a good heart deep down. I remember I always had Lindsay be really mean to Roslyn. She was like the antagonist in my Yummiland adventures.
Then we have Sara Strawbella. I always get her confused with Susie Strawbella, because they have the same last names and their first names start with S. She originally came with a soda shop playset that I got for Christmas once but I lost it. I still have some of the accessories though. I never liked Sara that much and this time I have a good reason. For one thing, she always had her hair pulled back and instead of lying flat on the back of her head it was always pushed forward and fell in her forehead. I never took the rubberband out for some reason until somewhat recently. Her arms are also really rubbery (unlike the other dolls whose arms are hard plastic) and hard to move. They always got caught in her dress sleeves. I also thought her dress was too low for some reason. So yeah, I hated Sara but I thought her playset was pretty fun till I lost it.
Then we have Betsy Bubblegum. She's one of my new favorites. I don't remember having her at all when I was little, but I do remember the seal. I was very prone to losing toys when I was little and Betsy was another one I lost. Too bad, because I could've had her and Candy be sisters. They do look like they could be sisters, right? That would've been fun. I also lost Candy's dress and shoes. I remember finding her dress a while ago, but I didn't know where Betsy was then so I just put it back where I found it and didn't think much of it. I put her in some... random yellow thing I found and tied it together with yarn? I don't remember when I did that, because I found her like that a couple years ago. She has absolutely no scent whatsoever but I think her bangs are adorable and she's just adorable, even in that ugly dress I have her in now. I remember I had her star in some really weird adventure I made up when I was like 12 and she was really adventurous and outgoing and was really protective of her sister... who was a mini Alice in Wonderland figure?? And they had to go and fight off this evil dragon?? It was one of my weirder doll adventures. I pulled Betsy's hair back because it's knotty and I don't feel like brushing it out. :P
Finally we have my last two dolls, who aren't part of my original collection. I actually got them from my friend Hannah a couple years ago, along with like 200 LPS toys and two Barbies. She said she outgrew them but I certainly hadn't and she said, "Well, you can take as many as you like." Her mom was actually glad that I'd taken those toys off their hands because otherwise they would've just given them to Goodwill or something. ANYWAY, enough about that. Let's get onto the dolls themselves.
(From left to right) Gracie Grape Watermelon and Natty Nutty Sundae
First I'll talk about Gracie. I can never remember her name. I can remember Natty's is Natty but not hers for some reason? Anyway, I love Gracie. She and Natty both have lost their scent and just smell of Hannah's basement, but I don't really care. Gracie's hair is just amazing. Look at how poofy and curly it is!! And her eyes, like Lindsay's, are really colorful and vibrant. She's missing her shoes and pet, because Hannah apparently lost them too. And her pants ride low on her for some reason, but you can't really tell because her shirt covers it up. Oh well, I don't really mind. I never really played with her that much at all because when I got her I wasn't really as into playing with toys anymore, I just liked collecting them. That's primarily what I do anymore. I remember I did have her be like a "zookeeper" to all the LPS Hannah gave me when I first got them.
Finally the last girl I'll talk about in this long post is Natty. She's missing her skirt and pet, because Hannah lost those too, but she still has her shoes. Natty's eyes are pretty wonky and her hair is outrageous--the worst of all my Yummilands--so I just put it in a bun like Carrie. I never really played with Natty at all because I got her and Gracie at different times and by the time I got Natty I really wasn't into playing with Yummilands anymore. However she's still a nice addition to my collection and I really like her.
Wow, this post has taken me forever to write!! Lmao I guess I'll do my post about Soda Pop Pets another time then because I need to eat lunch. Bye for now!

STEVEN. UNIVERSE. (warning: spoilers)
Steven Universe looked like another one of Cartoon Network's stupid shows when I saw the commercial. I saw "I just turned all my fingers into cats!" and "If every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs!" Okay, that all looked really stupid to me. I just avoided the show entirely, but then my friend Len told me how it's actually a good show. Finally when I got bored I sat down and watched some of it. Of course I was all spoiler-ed up since it was revealed that Garnet's a fusion right before I started watching it so of course I knew about that the whole time. But it's actually a really good show! The songs are good--and God the voice actors can sing!--and the animation is beautiful, and the storyline is good. I swear I sound like a brony trying to defend MLP FiM by stating how it's so much better than every other typical little girl's show. But really, Steven Universe has better songs and prettier animation that FiM in my opinion. And it doesn't dedicate a whole episode just to jabs at the show's fandom. (Granted SU did make nods to the fandom in Say Uncle but that was an April Fool's episode that wasn't canon, which doesn't make it as bad as an entirely-canon MLP episode) Now I'm not saying that the SU fandom is better than the MLP fandom... Both aren't good, but there are good sides to every bad fandom.
WOW I sound like such a dork in this post!! Is every one of my little rambly posts gonna be this dorky? Wow. But the fan theories are so in depth, there's so much not yet explained in the show. For example I was always in love with the "Pearl is a service drone" fan theory, and then when it was revealed that Pearls are service drones I literally squealed. And when Peridot was first revealed without limb enhancers? Another squeal. And when Sardonyx and Yellow Diamond were revealed? Squeal city.
I mean, this show has even been known to make me cry. Now there are some people that bawl at the drop of a hat, and I don't think I'm one of those people. It takes a lot to make me laugh or cry and this clip of Steven Universe made me teary eyed. I'm not sure how to insert a video in here withou actually uploading the video itself because I just made this blog today but just click the link (please).
And the show's getting so good. Where's Malachite? Who knows! Somewhere in the ocean! But apparently thanks to Cartoon Network being stupid and leaking things, we now know Lapis Lazuli is coming back... but what about Jasper? And Peridot called Yellow Diamond a CLOD? And Yellow Diamond looks suspiciously like a giraffe? More importantly... OUR DORITO IS A CRYSTAL GEM?!
Also of course when you like Steven Universe you gotta have a gemsona, right? Well I figured my gem should be emerald since that's my birth month. I wasn't too sure how to make her look so I just designed her three times. And of course, this is in the Gemsona maker on Doll Divine because I'm a horrible artist and boy that game is fun.

The emeralds
So yeah, I guess I'll leave you with the emeralds and say good-bye for now!
Book shelf of excellence
I've got two book shelves in my room and this is one of them. It contains my all-time favorite books, my yearbooks, my journals, two stuffed LPS plushies, and my "SPOILED BUT NOT ROTTEN" plastic cup that my loving grandma got for my birthday. My brother got a cup with his name on it, but being that she couldn't find one with "Audrey" on it she got me one that says "SPOILED BUT NOT ROTTEN" on it in big letters. Thank you very much, grandma!!
The shelf itself.
Now I know you can't see many of my favorite books on here, but I'll tell you what they are:
The Outsiders
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Untouchables (I used to watch the 60s TV series in 2014 and I really wanted the book)
Catcher in the Rye
Christine (my all time favorite book, however the movie sucked)
Different Seasons (I've only read "The Body" but I plan on reading more soon)
Several Far Side books which I used to love a couple years ago
The entire Warriors: Dawn of the Clans arc
Four other Warriors books
WWE Mad Libs game (which is so fun I might add)
So that's my book shelf. The other one is like 60 Baby-Sitters Club books, like 40 Goosebumps books (I got all those books for a quarter, by the way), some random books, and then a few Fruits Basket mangas because I used to love those in 2012. My mini weeb stage.
This post is completely random and it stops right about... here. Bye!
Shopkins, Trashies, Num Noms, & Mini Lalaloopsy
So yeah I also took some other collection pics really quickly. This post is a compilation of my Shopkins, Trash Pack, Num Noms, and Mini Lalaloopsy collections. Why? Because they're all in the same drawer in my room.
First off, the Shopkins!
First off, the Shopkins!
A whopping total of 304 Shopkins!
I've been collecting Shopkins since June 2014. I love Shopkins so much I even made my own Wikia site about them. I don't really have any Shopkins merchandise because I find it's too expensive for me, but I do like the Shopkins themselves! Here are some stats, I guess you'd like to call them? Idk.
Season One: 84
Season Two: 99
Season Three: 89
Season Four: 25
Side-Season: 8 (yes I didn't really buy any lmao)
Total: 304 Shopkins & 6 mini eggs
Total WITHOUT duplicates: 264 Shopkins (that's a lotta dupes!)
Because I bet you're just squirming in your seat to see my McDonald's Shopkins, here they are:
Being photobombed by Stardancer, Twist, and Sugarberry's butt.
I've got Mia Mirror, Curly, Heidi Handbag (or Duffa? She looks like Duffa, the variant is Duffa, but she's Heidi Handbag), and then "Prommy" who looks nothing like Prommy but actually looks like Beverley Heels? God these are confusing. No I didn't eat two Happy Meals to get these, I got one meal and my brother got another and gave the toys to me. They're actually surprisingly good quality! They're pretty heavy and don't have screws anywhere.
Now we move onto the Trash Pack. I got my first ones back in 2013, but sadly I didn't get into them then. Boy was I stupid. Then in fall 2014 I got into them again and bought a few but of course as my luck has it right after I got into them they got discontinued. Boo hoo for me. I haven't bought any since May, so the picture I'm about to show you is from this summer:
I don't know how many from each series I have. I have a couple from series 2, around 20 from series 4 (my favorite series), a few from series 5, a couple from series 6, and a few from series 7. I usually keep the minis in a wheelie bin but I took them out for the photo. In total I think I have 30-something Trashies. I don't feel like going out and counting them, sorry.
Now onwards to NUM NOMS!! I found out about these last month and it was love at first sight... And scent. My favorite thing to do with these guys is stick them to my face. They work like little suction cups. Me and my brother like to stick them to our chins and pretend we have beards. :P
This pic was rushed but you can see my accessories,
my ice cream Nums, cupcake Nums, and then the Noms.
I have 11 Nums and 5 Noms. My 3 motorized Noms are in Reese's Pieces colors, haha. Here's a breakdown of my collection:
Nums
Wendy Wild Berry
Red Velvety
Sherry Berry
Peachy Cream
Tango Mango
Pinkie Lemonade
Orange Swirl
Lemony Burst
Nilla Twirl
Caramel Cream
Strawberry Surprise
Noms
Pina Gloss-Up
Nana Gloss-Up
Banana Go-Go
Tropical Go-Go
Choco Go-Go
Now it's hard for me to tell who my gloss-ups are because there are several Noms in very similar yellow/orange colors and they don't really have a distinct smell in my opinion, they just smell... Buttery. I'm just guessing I have Pina Gloss-Up and Nana Gloss-Up.
Finally, onto my Mini Lalaloopsy. I also have lots of full sized Lalaloopsy and then I have some Tinies, Micros, pencil toppers, a cherry pie newborn, and even the Nintendo DS game. But I guess I'll save that for another post. Here's my mini collection, condensed into one single plastic bag:
Yeah this isn't really a good picture. I think I have a better one.
Ah yes. This one's quite old, but again I haven't bought any minis
since May either.
I can't remember quite how many I have but it's close to 80. I bought my first ones in May 2011, back when I was in elementary school! That's five years ago now. Absolutely shocking.
Well, that's all I got for this post. I don't wanna make it TOO long, now. Bye!
MLP collection
Okay so if this is gonna be about my toys then I guess I need a post about MLP!! I love, love, love MLP. My collection isn't too big now but whatever, I've got room to grow. A lot of room.
And the largest collection I have is the G4s. I have 33 of them, however only 31 are pictured because the others are doubles. G4s are what really got me into pony collecting back in December 2012. I have more of them than any other generation because they're still sold in stores and they're pretty cheap there.
Here are all my G4s, in--you guessed it--alphabetical order:
Apple Bloom
Applejack
Blossomforth (Water Cuties)
Cheerilee (bag pony version)
Cherry Berry

Pinkie Pie (x2) (crystal empire single which is detinseled & new helicopter variant)
Princess Cadence (3 pack)
Princess Celestia (pink, 3 pack)
Princess Luna (3 pack)
Rainbow Dash (old eyes)
Rarity (x2)
Scootaloo
Skywishes (CMM)
Sunny Rays
Sunset Shimmer
Sweetie Belle
Sweetie Drops/Bon Bon
Trixie Lulamoon
Twilight Sparkle (unicorn)
Twirly Treats
Wysteria
I also have blind bags and McDonald's ponies... But that's for another time. I don't feel like taking any more pictures right now. Later!
EDIT: I forgot to add that I have the Twice as Fancy-style Rainbow Dash from G3.5. How stupid of me! You can see her in the picture with the other G3s. She's kinda sitting on Lily Lightly's huge dress. :P

So I just made this blog
Hello. I just made this blog and I have no idea how it works or anything because I've tried publishing posts and it's not working. UGH. Anyway I'm Audrey but you can call me Cherry if you want. The story of how I got that nickname can wait for another time but this blog is mostly gonna be about my toy collections and maybe some of my random ramblings.
The toys I'm gonna be posting about are mostly going to be: My Little Pony, Shopkins, Lalaloopsy, Monster High, Littlest Pet Shop, and more that I can't list off the top of my head.
