Trade goodies + Zelf Giveaway!

Just a couple of weeks back, I received these amazing goodies from 2 lovely ladies on the Zelf Buy Sell Trade group on Facebook:

I was down with a ear infection at that time and having both packages arrive on the same day really cheered me up!

First up are my trade goodies from Kennie :) Couldn't wait to unbox Chocolaa and see what she smelt like lol. She does indeed smell like very sweet chocolate!

I love the mini playsets that come with all the Zelicious series. I wish they'd include more of such accessories in the future. It's a little more fun than just charms and combs. But it would be even better if they included all 3 :P

Next I just had to unbox Flare! I just love her details and color combination. Her colors are very contrasting yet I feel that they complement one another very nicely. Her gold accents are just right and not overly done so it does give her a very prominent look.

For some reason, she was relatively hard to find even though she belongs to the latest series and isn't a rare. I can't thank Kennie enough for Flare! She has got to be my favourite Zelf at the moment!

Flare is supposed to be a Phoenix Zelf but she reminds me so much of this Chinese mythology character called Nezha:

And you can see why when you notice the little flame details on the back of her feet! 

Next are the goodies I received from Debbie! First up is Pandela, whom she traded with me for Angelala. Her paint work is so perfect and I can't stop gushing over how cute she is! Her design is rather simple but I think it potrays the Panda image quite well:

Following that is Birchy, the tree Zelf! Who looks more like a leprechaun in my opinion.

And lastly, Spellinda and Howlette! I didn't have any other Zelfs to trade with Debbie for them but she was so kind to go out of her way to get them for me despite the stuff she had going on for her at that time.

These 2 were the only ones from Series 1 that I was missing so thanks to Debbie, I've managed to complete Series 1!

I also decided that it was time to unbox my very first rare Zelf: Miss Clover! Oh the struggle with whether to keep rare figures in their original packaging or not..

What a cutie!!! She even comes with a glitter finish which makes her all the more unique!

First thing I realised about her was how HUGE her wings were!! Just look at the size of them compared to Buttershy's:

All rare Zelfs have a number and my Miss Clover was number 2980 out of 10 000! Her charm is also made of a different material than the others':

Thank you so much Kennie and Debbie! I am so so so grateful to know such kind and sweet toy collectors! Kennie knew that I was a SF collector as well and even included an extra Sylvanian Families magazine for me! The magazine comes with an exclusive baby squirrel but I've yet to open up it up and read it.

And now..

I have a spare Garny in box to giveaway!

To participate, all you have to do is follow my blog and leave a comment. The winner will be decided using a random number generator.This giveaway is open to everyone and I'll cover the cost of shipping plus tracking to you.

Love Yourzelf ♥ Part 2

Took some of my Series 2 Zelfs to the park today to have some pictures taken. I really like the idea of animal Zelfs. Even the bugs look so cute!

Lady B - The Lady Bug Zelf

Owlmanda - The Owl Zelf

Dandylion - The Lion Zelf

Dorothy-Doe - The Deer Zelf

Catsby - The Cat Zelf

Love Yourzelf ♥

So recently, I've started collecting Zelfs about 3 weeks ago and this was my initial haul:

From top left: Buttershy, Pega Sue, Angelala, Lunanne, Mermalade, Elfa

As of today, I actually have 22 plus 9 more waiting to come in the mail ~_~ I know! I'm moving too fast with these things but they're just so addictive!

Apparently they're the new version of Troll Dolls but much cuter and more colorful! The ones I've gotten in this post are from Series 1. There are 4 series in total and they come in 3 different sizes - mini, medium and large. These are all medium sized.

They kinda look like imps to me (I think they are) and their Zelf Powers remind me alot of the Carebears. Their colors and markings on their bodies also remind me of My Little Pony. What had me sold was definitely their colors and funky hair :P

Each Zelf comes with a charm, 3 pink elastic bands, a comb and a collector's leaflet. The collector's leaflet contains some information about each Zelf. Here's a peek at Mermalade's:

And here they are unboxed!

Angelala - The Angel Zelf

Pega Sue - The Pegasus Zelf

Mermalade - The Mermaid Zelf

Elfa - The Forest Elf Zelf

Lunanne - The Moon Fairy Zelf

Buttershy - The Butterfly Zelf

Some Zelfs have wings and some don't. Lunanne and Buttershy both have fairy like wings while Pegu Sue and Angelala have angel-like wings. Notice the cute little Z marking on their bottoms!

Each Zelf has poseable arms and legs. You can also rotate its head. They're meant for kids, so nothing really fancy. They're quite economical if you live in the US or UK, but shipping elsewhere can be abit costly. Nevertheless, these colorful Zelfs are fun to display and can easily brighten up any room or shelf:

I'll be showing more of these Zelfs in the weeks to come, but for now which Zelf is your favourite? :)
