Goodies from Sweden

As mentioned on the Yahoo blog, I received my birthday package from Sweden last week but only got around to opening it last night. The first pic is of a 1994 Summer Looks Paul doll. Paul is Sindy's boyfriend in England and Europe. He originally was designed to look like a young Paul McCartney. I have many of those versions in my collection. Through the years 'Paul' went through some changes to match with the times.
In this picture he looks more like a hippy from the 60's. Which prompted me to name him Lennon, after John of course. The specs are sooooooo cool too. I think that is what cinched it for me. As you can see on the box that he came in, there is a Sindy to go with him. Since this doll is now 14 years old it must have been hard for Anita to get him in mint condition for me! I sure appreciate it! He was my birthday gift.
The next group is the rest of the guys that Anita picks up from Tradera, which is their ebay. From left to right is: Luka, a Paul doll. This version is in my Russian family, hence the name which is Russian for Luke. He came nude and so was dressed in one of the newer Ken outfits that was sent to me.
Next is Borje, a "Mike Groom" that is one of the latest dolls out in Europe. Many years back Anita sent me a group of these dolls when they were new. They all came in wedding tuxedos. Borje is in a Swedish family, the Nygards. Hence the name. Borje is also the name of a famous hockey player who is from Sweden but was Captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs back in the 60's (Borje Salming)
In the pink swimsuit is a Petra Fred. I have a ton of these guys and love them all dearly. Since they are in my polish family I have named this one Laszlo. They are originally from Germany though.
The darker skinned doll is another Paul doll. For some reason some of them have really dark skin. I know that they made an AA version of Sindy so maybe this is an AA version of Paul. His name is Konstantin, another Russian name.
Lastly is the guy in the blue short set. I have no idea who he is but this is the second one of him that I have received. He could be another version of Paul. I have named him Rykker, which is a Dutch name. Hah and you thought it was a Star Trek name LOL
Here's the batch of sweater outfits that was made by Ingegard for me. She is Anita's friend and is also a doll collector. I often send Ingegard dolls too. Her knitting is really tiny and the outfits look small, but believe me they will fit my dolls.



Today is a rainy day, I mean it's just down right pouring out. That's fine with me, I can go play up in Lofton as it will be cool up there. Besides I have to take all the new residents up to their temporary home for now. I am still rearranging Dolton and trying to fit in as many residents as I can. Then the shift begins from DH to Dolton and then the Lofton residents will move down to DH. That is until my house explodes from so many dolls in it LOL

Have a good week everybody, I'm off to play!
