Chucky Doll & Child’s Play

By on October 13, 2010

Child’s Play Chucky Doll

If you are a complete sucker for this horror film series, you will know that there have been four sequels to the original movie titled “Child’s Play”, namely “Child’s Play 2”, “Child’s Play 3”, “Bride of Chucky” and “Seed of Chucky”. These movies have been releasing intermittently over a period of twelve years from 1988 till 2010. Don Mancini has been credited with penning this mega hit series.
 
From the screenplay to the story- Mancini has been on it throughout this time period. However, there have been five different producers for this series, the last one being Don Mancini himself. All the sequels have done reasonably well at the box office.

All the sequels are based around the spirit of a serial killer Charles Ray Lee, who tries to live beyond the police encounter by transferring his soul into a good guy doll’s plastic body with the help of voodoo magic. This entire process is induced by the fact that while on a run from the police, this serial murder takes shelter in a toy store and just before he is killed, he makes a successful transfer of his soul. On the same date the store is struck by lightning and it burns down.

On a different plane, little boy Andy asks his mother for a good guy doll and as fate would have it his mother Karen picks up the same good guy doll. This toy reveals himself to Andy as Chucky, through the voice feature of the doll. Initially Andy is unaware of the myriad grim possibilities that this doll entails. However, the doll kills his baby sitter and thereafter unleashes a series of crimes. The police force starts to get involved from here on.

As the story progresses, you get to learn that this toy can be killed only if it is shot at its heart. You also get to know that Chucky can extend his life by getting into the body of the person to whom he had revealed himself initially. Thereon starts Chucky’s attempts to get to Andy and the police force’s attempt to thwart Chucky’s moves and bury his body with the help of voodoo incantation.

The sequels always start off from the point of Chucky’s severed remains getting salvaged and the Chucky doll getting revived.  Only one of the sequels had a different turning point and a new twist to offer in the form of Bride of Chucky doll.

In this interesting sequel, Charles Ray Lee’s former girlfriend Tiffany takes the pain of reinstituting Chucky, after which the Chucky doll kills her off and transfers her soul into another bridal gown clad doll.

Together, they join another eloping high school couple on the highway to their doom. As both the couple try to enjoy their honeymoon on their own way, chaos, confusion and considerable bloodbath ensues.

If you were still in the dark about the dark past Chucky Doll, its time you dig into your movie collection and watch the horror unfold in front of your eyes.

Barbie Dress up Games

By on April 23, 2010

Dress up your Barbie dolls the way you want!

Just like any real girl, Barbie must decide what to wear any situation that might occur. It’s all the fun of getting ready to go out that girls enjoy and the Barbie dress up games make experimentation with different looks, really easy. Even singer and actress Hilary Duff has designed some of the outfits and there are many outfits to choose from. Maybe a prom dress, ball gown or cocktail dress or maybe a wedding dress!

Ever since Mattel brought out the Barbie doll in 1959 little girls around the world have played with her and collected all the outfits and accessories. The Barbie franchise is a very lucrative one with clothes, accessories, games, play houses and cars for sale. Girls like to imagine the doll in different scenarios with outfits to match. The doll has been around for a long time but she has kept up with all the changes in style and looks.

As with all fashion collections, Barbie’s wardrobe is divided into seasons with outfits appropriate to summer, spring, autumn and winter. Even boyfriend Ken gets in on the act with outfits for any occasion. Dressing up is a big part of the appeal of the doll and she has always been a well dressed lady!

Barbie has changed over the years, from house wife to having all sorts of careers, but she has always been a busy lady with hobbies and a hectic social life. Her wardrobe is extensive so there is no fear of running out of outfits.

There are formal outfits, such as a purple satin gown and a faux fur trimmed cape. There are specialist costumes like the Barbie cheerleading outfit. Barbie still likes to look good when she is casually dressed, in jeans or shorts. She also looks great in sportswear and there is an extensive line of pajamas and nightgowns.

Barbie & ken, who gets the Pink Townhouse?

By on November 26, 2009

Shocking news around the world about Barbie and Ken!

It can’t be true, can it?  Barbie and Ken have split up. The media made such an ordeal out of it after Mattel announced that the famous couple has decided to go their own ways. Surprisingly, people were upset about this announcement. Mattel reported getting lots of emails from upset fans over this decision. 

You can still play with them and make-believe that they are a happily married couple. You don’t really have to tell your children that Barbie and Ken are divorcing or even worry about what to tell your kids. They are simply dolls.

I live next door to a real-life Barbie and Ken. Though she prefers to be called “Barbs”, she and her husband certainly fit the replica of the famous couple. I have some suspicions that her perfect figure has had some cosmetic assistance but she will deny it a thousand times over.

Of course, Barbie’s figure is completely cosmetic and she’s probably quite proud to admit that. My neighbors, Barbie and Ken, are just tickled pink whenever someone makes a comment about how they fit the roles of being the perfect couple. She giggles hysterically and shrugs it off but you can see her holding back her glowing smile. She loves the attention. Her husband is much more down-to-earth.

I remember in junior high school, my boyfriend and I dressed up like Barbie and Ken for a Halloween party one year. Dressed up elegantly as Barbie that night, I had my first kiss. It was just as awkward as a first kiss should be and I thought that I felt just as “in love” as Barbie and Ken should feel.

Years later, I smile at the memory but I have no idea when my Ken from that memorable night is these days. I’m not sure I really care. But, if anyone should be upset about Barbie and Ken splitting up, it should be me. Afterall, that first kiss meant the world to me and gave Barbie and I a special bond.

However, I am not upset because I realize that Barbie and Ken are dolls. They are nothing more than two plastic dolls that children (and adults) play make-believe with. You can choose to believe that they have not split up and just like real life celebrities can verify, Hollywood gossip is sometimes merely gossip. Life goes on. Just ask Barbie and Ken.

The Barbie 3 story pink townhouse is a great gift this Christmas for any special girl.

Barbies New 3 Story Pink Townhouse

By on November 8, 2009

This is one accessory to the Barbie collection that will most definitely bring many hours of enjoyment to your child’s playtime. Barbie’s New 3 Story Pink Townhouse is a must for kids who love to play with their dolls.

Imagination and play go hand-in-hand. Your child’s imagination will run wild through this huge pink toy dollhouse. The Barbie Dream Townhouse offers just about every detail that you could possibly want in a tool for building imaginative play for your child. This is a favorite toy for many girls.

My daughter is in a virtual dream land when she plays with this massive dollhouse. She spends hours and hours playing with this, her most favorite toy on the planet.

I decided to invest in this toy when I saw my daughter desperately trying to make a home for her dolls. She would use makeshift items that just didn’t do the trick. While I was impressed by her efforts, I just wasn’t thrilled by how seemingly disappointed she was in her projects. Empty boxes, shoes and towels go only so far. She really needed something more.

And boy, did she get something more. Actually, she got more with the Barbie Dream Townhouse than I could possibly imagine. I was initially taken back by the massive size of the unit. This impressive doll house offers plenty of room for Barbie and all of her friends. It also offers plenty of room for enjoyment.

Many dollhouses have a few rooms that are cramped and difficult to navigate. I remember playing with my dollhouse as a child and feeling pretty claustrophobic in the process. The open design of the Barbie Doll House is ideal for getting little hands in and out of the structure. Space is definitely not an issue when it comes to this roomy toy.

There are plenty of rooms in the Barbie Pink Townhouse that have knock-out details that your little one will love. I am taken back by the many sights and sounds that this thoughtful toy offers.
