L.O.L. Surprise Remix Hair Flip Pt.2 - Soprano
I grabbed three for no particular reason other than they were on 'clearance'. I'll get to that in a sec.
I hadn't re-discovered the case placement hack until AFTER I'd purchased this here miss Soprano and two others. I didn't truly know who I'd gotten until I reviewed it and using the box placement the notes I took while in the store to remember what position I had taken them from.
Moving on, I purchased Soprano and two more friends from Kmart on - what I call Australia's weak excuse for a - 'clearance' for $19 each. Clearance's suck here, I don't understand.
I didn't want to take them home to yeet upon the pile of other things I still haven't reviewed yet - I'm very backlogged, please heckin help lol - so I wanted to put them on layby. But because they were on the shitty 'clearance' I couldn't.
"CANDICE, why didn't you go to Target and get them for $15 that you mentioned in the last Hair Flip post?!"
Target didn't put theirs on sale until a week after I purchased these three. They even had a fresh, new, untouched case. More heck.
Enough complaining, let's look at Soprano. Here's the YouTube vid to accompany this review;
[LOL Surprise Unboxing - Remix Hair Flip Soprano - YouTube]
Some tidbits about mine specifically is that she came from the bottom front right placement in the case; the same as the 'hack' in the Bangles review. Her batch code is 33320MBGE and the box weighed 402g before unboxing. Batch code isn't really relevant other than to the manufacturer, and maybe a little helpful in telling if your 'whole case set' is in fact a whole case set. *squints*
She's RM-006 in the set, a stinky common or 'popular', with the yellow blonde high pony and groovy pink bellbottom pants. Very 70's. She's part of the Glee Club.
Soprano's turnstyle cover is pink and accompanied by the standard silver and black speaker base for this set. As usual, there's the massive instruction manual that covers the top of the turnstyle, rendering a peeking method impossible without damaging the box. I've seen the aftermaths of attempts to do this. Disgraceful. Smh
Inside the speaker is a custom shaped transparent pink capsule containing miss Soprano, 7 paper blind bags with her accessories inside, checklist, lyric sticker sheet and record with sleeve.
The capsule matches the turnstyle, Bangles did too, so let's assume all capsules match their speakers, hm?
The lyric sticker sheet she comes with, as all Hair Flips do;
You can put these on the back of the checklist where they fit in the missing lyric spaces. I won't be doing this. I want to see who comes with what first before I complete a checklist. I think there are 3 variations; 4 stickers on each, 1 to 4, 5 to 8, 9 to 12.
She's got a little hot pink record in a printed sleeve.
And when you add batteries to the turnstyle and slap on the record it plays a snippet of the Crew Remix;
It's a segment of Honeylicious' part. You can listen to this section in the video unboxing. I really wanna try and completely recreate the song with all the Remix releases, which is a stupid and expensive goal lol [screams], but damn it'd be cool.
When I took her out of her case, Soprano's Hair Flip is obvious right off the bat. A few brown locks stick out from within her yellow blonde ponytail, held in by a pink plastic elastic. Her bangs are pretty cute, but because they're so small, they struggle to keep form and are all over the place.
Taking a look at her face I see she has black eyebrows, lots of eyelashes and brown iris'. Unfortunately, her eyeliner and mascara aren't aligned with her eyes.
She's got two shiny gold stars under each eye and rosy red lipstick - with a gash taken out of the paint! Oh no!
She's got squishy flexible gold hoop earrings that are not removable... and had hair caught in them. There was hairs caught in the wonky neck seal too. I cut it all off of course. So annoying.
There's a really obvious colour mismatch between- her body and head, and it's because of her colour change, which is cold btw. It covers almost her entire body, and it's dark, obscuring the original colour by a LOT. The colour change is incredible! I'm just not sure how it goes with her theme.
Into the bags are all the accessories. Still annoys me how many are used.
Soprano's got a pink and yellow theme goin', and everything matches, except for the sippy cola label.
The outfit comes together really well.
The comb is a little too small to be of much use on the surprisingly thick locks on such a small doll. On the flip side, the elastics are super useful to keep it all in place. They're identical to Bangle BB's.
The stand can go in two places, in the bottom of the speaker and pop out the circle bit to see her, or on top of the turntable cover. This is the same in every case. Bangle's sucked cause her shoes were small, but Soprano's works fantastically.
And finally, here she is with all the contents and stuff.
------------------------------
So it's pretty obvious she's not my favourite with my lack of excitement and compassion, but I'll still praise her very fluid well-done design. I might keep her for just a little bit, but I'm considering selling her.
I'm sure though that she's someone else's favourite, and I might be giving someone the opportunity to give her a new home eventually.
It would be super cool to have the whole set on hand and make the Remix song, but with some consideration and reflection, I don't want to keep something I don't feel a connection to that'll unnecessarily take up space. I'll be recording a clip and sending her off to a new home.
