    I just picked up my parcel from Amazon with Deuce Gorgon and Cleo. I like Cleo but I dont like Deuce at all and im not sure my dd will. Im not sure if its his weird plasticky hair, it looks more like a helmet.

    I wish id just gotten the other 3 single ones to go with Draculaura. The one she really wanted was Frankiestien as she has a thing for tartan lol.

    They were £24.99 so a bit cheaper that 2 single ones i suppose.

    Hi

    Have just noticed that Marks and Spencers have a whole section devoted to Paper Jamz in their toy section online. They must have a big contract with the supplier. They are pricing their guitars at £25 (and drums) and appear to have the whole range in stock. Not the first place I would have looked to have bought them from!

    Hope this helps someone.

    Jewel Sparkles is so pretty and a proper little princess imo, Spot Splatter is so cute and Pillow is adorable .. you're going to struggle ! I originally bought Pillow for my little one and got a cheap wooden bed from Ikea which I painted pink to match her so she can go to bed next to my little girl but then when I found Jewel I ended up buying her and then Spot ... I have done what you suggested, aunts, etc are buying them for her. I've even bought a couple of costumes which look so cute too ! My daughter is between having a baby doll and a grown up doll so I thought these were perfect. Have fun deciding :)

    Oooo where did you get the outfits? I didnt think they did them in the u.k yet! I lovethe purple dress on the facebook fanpage.. glad its not just me whos gone lalaloopy! and it looks like you went for the same 3 I did!

    Good morning all, judging by all on this thread. The must have toy's and hard too find toy's, are as follows, not in any particular order;
    Lots o Huggin Bear
    Stinky The Garbage Truck
    Bullseye Interactive
    Monster High Dolls
    Buzz Lightyear
    Chatimals
    Lalaloopsy Dolls (bitty buttons)
    Paper Jamz Guitar
    Dave the Funky Monkey
    Ben and hollys castle
    Various Lego
    Please add to list if you can think of anything else.
    Thought it may be interesting too compare against what all the experts predict. Also thought it may help all the newbies, with ideas and help them search for the items that will get harder too find as it gets closer to christmas.

    what are the experts predicting,anyone heard yet?
