Appearing again on TokuToy Impact - it might be my favorite ReAction figure, hands down. So forgive all the repeat showings.
Incredible colors and sculpting. The turtle skin texture on this is fantastic.
And it's still available at retail.
Top recommendations - especially if you can find him on sale.
And for argument's sake, let's just assume "one shot a day every day" applies to weekdays only for this week, lol...
(And then off course I neglect to update either of these past two days on Tumblr. No wonder I struggle to grow a following; I'm bad at this lmao)

Review: Ladybug and Cat Noir: The Movie "Marinette at the Grand Ball" Fashion doll from Playmates Toys
Today's review was requested by @totallovestrucksimp. Thanks for being my first requested review!
The doll I'm reviewing today is the Marinette doll based off the upcoming Miraculous movie (which my sister and I have been waiting for it to release for like 4 years). Whether the Summer 2023 release date is true or not, I have absolutely no idea, but with the movie finally getting merchandise and trailers, I'm crossing my fingers.
Marinette retails for $34.99.
I absolutely love the presentation of her box! It shows off her gown, and I really like the contrast of the dark blue sky, the yellow background, and her red dress. Plus, Marinette isn't in a dynamic pose in her box like the other dolls, so If you were to leave her in the box, you wouldn't have to worry about her limbs warping or contorting weirdly over time.
Out of the box, she comes with a red mask, and the catalogue I mentioned in my Vesperia review, which shows off other available products.
Marinette has 15 points of articulation, with movement at her:
Head
Shoulders
Double-jointed elbows
Double-jointed knees
She's quite solid, and her joints are a decent tightness. Her head can only move side to side, but I believe that is only a fluke on my doll.
Marinette also has her molded underwear painted a shimmery red, which matches her earrings and mask.
Marinette's dress is stunning! It's an almost pink shade of red, with a satin bottom layer, topped by three layers of red tulle with black spots, evoking the look of Ladybug's suit. The bodice has silver dots and trim, along with silver tulle sleeves. It flares out very nicely on it's own, but a petticoat would make it flare out even more!
The only downsides is that the satin layer wrinkles very easily and holds creases, and that the thread she was packaged with left holes in the skirt and wings.
Her accessories include a pink fabric flower attached to her bun, her Miraculous, red earrings with black spots, a white plastic pearl necklace, and glittery pink flats.
While I do feel like the concept dress, which was a white dress with a tiered skirt and pink trim with butterflies and Marinette's flower motif feels more like "Marinette", this dress is still absolutely stunning.
On the back of her gown, Marinette has four delicate silver tulle wings with swirly designs on them. They're so pretty, but they have holes punctures in them from the threads holding them in place in the packaging.
Here you can also see her dress opens with velcro. From the original promotional images, I had thought she was sewn into it, so it's a pleasant surprise to see.
Marinette has blue eyes, vibrant blue hair, glittery purple eyeshadow, and pink lips and blush. The glitter does shed, so be careful handling her (the poor girl has glitter in her left eye!).
Her hair is twisted up into a high bun, with sideswept bangs on both sides of her part, and two tendrils framing her face.
I think she has a very sweet, innocent expression. She uses the same face sculpt as the series Marinette doll, which I think makes her resemble Marinette in the series more than Marinette the movie, who has a younger appearance, and almost pouty lips.
I think her eyebrows are a massive improvement from the series Marinette doll, who has thin line eyebrows, which often look angry.
Here you can see her Miraculous and the flower in her hair better.
The flower is pink, with black leaves, and yellow stitching. It is attached to a blue rubber band, which I believe is a different elastic than the one holding her hair in place.
Her Miraculous is a more shimmery plastic than the series Ladybug dolls. I'm curious if the movie will explain why her earrings aren't in camouflage mode (plain black), or if they even have a camouflage mode in the movie.
Marinette's flats are essentially a glittery version of her everyday flats. They are an almost purple shade of pink, and have a delicate black bow painted on the toes. I love these shoes! They're the closest we've gotten to a series-accurate pair of Marinette's flats! I will say, it feels odd for her to be wearing her everyday flats with this elegant ballgown. I'm curious if she wears these flats with her gown in the movie?
Like her eyeshadow, Marinette's flats also shed.
Lastly, her mask. It is the same mold as the other removable Ladybug masks, but in a shimmery plastic. Unfortunately, I can not seem to get it to stay on her face. It keeps popping off. Even if it did fit, I couldn't see myself using it too often, as I like showing off her makeup. I like having her hold it, though.
Overall, Marinette is a gorgeous doll, with a stunning outfit. I'm so happy to have her in my collection, and her dress and face truly make up for the shortcomings in her mask and how she was attached to her box.
I give Marinette a solid A+. I hope Playmates will continue making products for the movie, I'd love to see a matching Grand Ball Adrien, as well as Marinette and Adrien in their regular outfits with new face sculpts (the movie Ladybug's sculpt is so pretty!).
Thanks again to @totallovestrucksimp for requesting this review!
