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:

Pretty cute, right?

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.

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!
