Anyone remember this doll?

I don't have a picture, frustratingly, however I hope I can describe this well enough -

I've tried every google search under the sun to remember a specific doll I had when I was very, very young. I'm in the UK and I imagine this doll would have been released in the very early 2000's (2000-2002).

She came in a hard plastic pink box that her and her clothes were stored in (she came with this, I'm pretty certain). Blonde, taller than a Barbie but more akin to maybe a Our Generation doll in terms of physical design but much smaller. I remember she had wellies, they were sparkly (I think they were pink). I've been trying to find her for absolutely ages and to no avail, I've looked through every forum and blog/archive but I distinctly remember her!

She would have been around the same time Betty Spaghetty was popular as I had those dolls around the same time too!

Does anyone remember this doll? I'm desperate to find her!

Looking for a portable game of skill similar to Jacks?

I'm looking to buy a Christmas gift for my 13 year old daughter. She loves playing Jacks with her friends during the break at school. I thought that they would enjoy something new!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a small game that can be carried in a school bag, at least two (or more) players can play, and hopefully could be a game of skill (similar to jacks?)

Thanks!

Command center recs

My 8 year old LOVES my husbands old GI Joe command/headquarters base from the early 90’s. Sadly, it’s on its last legs and many of the pieces are broken. He asked for an army base for Christmas. I’ve tried googling but I cant find anything that’s close to right. I’m hoping maybe someone here can lead me in the right direction? Looking for a cool military base for his room. Something with cool features that he can play army with.

Ms Rachel Doll Canada

Hi everyone!! Just wondering if anyone ordered the Ms Rachel doll on Amazon Canada? It is currently out of stock but you can still purchase & it will ship once they have stock. Has anyone ordered while out of stock? And if so, how long did it take to arrive? Appreciate the help as I have been desperately trying to get my hands on one for my son!!

Trying to remember the name of a 90's construction/Lego type set.

I remember building a huge roller coaster out of things that looked like star shaped sticks and round plastic gears that looked like wagon wheels. I can't remember the name but it was like Meccano, or mechanix. Maybe I'm misremembering that.

Shopping for my 4yo niece. Hoping someone here might have a clue what this is? She knows what an American Girl doll is and apparently that is not a match.

Any help would be so helpful! Thanks in advance!

Help me find a mystery b l i n d bag

Hi all, my daughter has been super in to blind bags and collectable surprise eggs and the like. Recently, she spent a small fortune (for a kid anyway), trying to get a bag she had never seen before from an arcade game, to no avail. She was heartbroken and keeps insisting to go back to the rest area (over an hour from our home) to try again. This is obviously not happening- but I would like to surprise her with the same bag for the holidays. Only problem is... I do not for the life of me remember what it was called. The kicker? She doesn't either. This has not changed her desire for it however (little kids are unreasonable- I know) and insists that this is all she wants and needs in the world. So I need help!

The bag was kind of long (about 7-8") and narrow (about 4-5" wide.)
It was pink
The toy inside was some kind of animal I think
and I am pretty sure that it had a name that ended in "itos" like the spanish suffix meant to describe something to be little/diminutive or endearing.

I thought maybe it was "axolotls" and I misread the L for an i- and my dyslexia did the rest- but these bags are not pink. SO PLEASE HELP ME! I don't know if you've ever had a neurodivergent 7-year old hyper-fixate on something but it's been problematic to say the least.

Thank you for your help!

Help me remember the name of a 2000s toy with an air tower and warrior balls / Ajuda para lembrar o nome de um brinquedo dos anos 2000 com torre de ar e bolinhas guerreiros.

Hey guys, I'm trying to remember the name of a toy from the 2000s that I saw on TV (possibly in a Cartoon Network commercial). It had a tower that released air, and you placed small balls (warriors) in it. The balls were customizable and could be equipped with weapons for dueling. The brand was probably Mattel or Hasbro. Does anyone remember the name of this toy?

Olá pessoal, estou tentando lembrar o nome de um brinquedo dos anos 2000 que eu vi na TV (talvez em uma propaganda do Cartoon Network). Ele tinha uma torre que soltava ar e você colocava bolinhas (guerreiros) nela. As bolinhas eram customizáveis, podendo ser equipadas com armas para lutar em duelos. A marca era provavelmente Mattel ou Hasbro. Alguém lembra o nome desse brinquedo?

Vintage TMNT Skateboard

Hi, guys, anyone got a clue what a UK variant TMNT skateboard from 1990 might be worth? Decent shape, says 'Hero' instead of 'Ninja' as per the UK at the time.

Little Tikes Story Dream Machine Question

Does anyone know for sure if the Special Sesame Street edition of the Story Dream Machine will take other stories that aren't Sesame Street? My assumption is that it will, but I wanted to be sure.

Identifying baby toys?

Hi! I was going through some old things and would like to see if anyone could identify them. Somewhere around 2002-2007 they were bought

The first had a spinny dolphin on it when water was put in, and the second one water would filter through the colorful bowl things!

Thanks!
