A curio display - Strawberry Shortcake with bonus MLP!
« on: Thursday 06 January 2011, 04:38 pm »
Hi all! I'm new, I've recently gotten back into 80s toys. Currently I'm building my Strawberry Shortcake collection (vintage and Bandai). Since I don't have tons of space, I'm limiting my collecting goals to:
-5" dolls only
-vintage and Bandai
-mint versions of the ones I have from childhood (which include Peach Blush and Plum Puddin', argh!)
-Orange Blossom and Rainbow Sherbet as my fave characters that I want to get many of the different versions of. (Orange Blossom Party Pleaser was one of my favourites as a kid, and now I have a minty version in my curio!)

ANYWAY. Here is a picture of how I have some of my dolls currently displayed. I got this cool wood house-shaped curio at a garage sale for a buck a couple years ago but I only put it up before Christmas. I've filled it with various things that are special to me, including:
-regular vintage SSC
-Party Pleaser Orange Blossom
-Stylin' Days Strawberry Shortcake (Bandai)
-Rainbow Sherbet (Target Exclusive, Bandai)

Plus my childhood G1 Apple Jack MLP.

It's a work in progress, this curio, but I hope you enjoy the pic!

Hi there, welcome to the forums!  I love the little "house" and I think it would look great in a home.  Your SS dolls and your pony are just cuties!

Best of luck in finding the toys you need!

What a wonderful little display! Applejack looks right at home amongst the dolls. I think the vintage Strawberry Shortcake dolls have such cute faces. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for your comments, everyone.

What a wonderful little display! Applejack looks right at home amongst the dolls.

In my mind, MLP goes hand-in-hand (hand-in-hoof?) with SSC. I played with them together all the time as a child. So Applejack definitely belogs in the curio.
