Il Duce addresses the burning city from the palace balcony. Photo taken just before the Lego people revolt, then hang her at the Hot Wheels gas station.

Looks like she's just burst into a chorus of "Don't cry for me, Argentina" too!

Have you seen her (http://www.evangelineghastly.com/evangeline/attic.htm) yet? Robert is going to bankrupt me.

I need to see more pictures. I'm not sure yet whether or not I like her. She doesn't have Tyler and Co's frozen zombie face, but she may be trying too hard.

I have a sneaking fondness for Luna and the Little Martians, with their 80s vibe (Spectra, anyone?), but would like to see them in person.

I like the concept of Evangeline (and the name alone, I'm so shallow) but I need to see more pictures too. I am totally in love with my Ellowyne but this one looks like they're trying to do a domestic version of a Japanese BJD.

Luna and the Little Martians are a scream. If they weren't so expensive, I'd have them in my collection already. If you want them, let me know, and I will try to get them for you as inexpensively as possible. I was told the real reason for the series was so Robert could do something with the molds he made for the Christmas Elves. He's also using them on the other little goth-y dolls...the Kickits (http://www.tonnerdoll.com/kickits.htm). Man, I wish someone other than me remembered Sugar & Spike. Those are so begging to be made/customized with that mold.

Ellowyne on a (vinyl) BJD body would probably be my perfect doll.

I want to see Evangeline, and I want to see the Goudridge vinyl dolls. I'm wondering if one of them would be a good body for my extra Obitsu head. Or something.

Aw, bless, I may take you up on that. Thank you.

Kickits customized as Sugar and Spike is a bloody fantastic idea, and I totally encourage this.

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

That would be pretty awesome. I haven't undressed my Nevermore to see what her body is like -- I'm hoping Evangeline is nicer looking in later versions.

I haven't heard of the Gouldridge dolls. Is there a website? I still want to get a Japanese or Korean BJD but they're so expensive (all at once) and I can't seem to find one that screams "Own me!" yet.

I might have to do the Sugar & Spike thing now. I loved that comic as a kid.

Goddammit. Goudreau. Goudreau. Sorry. Sorry. I got it mixed up with Goodrich Dairy. Info page here, now with prices for both vinyl and resin versions: http://www.denverdoll.com/goodreaudoll.html

Don't get a BJD unless you find one that punches you in the face with love, or makes you scream I wanna customize that!, because you will only end up disappointed and frustrated. I put off Perpetua for over a year, but she wouldn't leave me alone. (I'd still be waiting for Wombat, but she turned up on eBay in a package deal that I couldn't ignore, with wardrobe, extra eyes, etc. for less than retail.) You are, however, at a huge advantage, because you can sew, so the most expensive peripherals will be shoes and wigs.

It looks like it's leading a Satanic ritual with that light and the way its arms are spread out like that.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Suddenly I'm thinking tiny Manos costume.

[viedma.livejournal.com]

That voodoo that you do so well, sir.

[ahli.livejournal.com]

If you were more disturbed, you'd take a picture of her hanging upsidedown at the hot wheels gas station.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I haven't seen the Hot Wheels gas station since around 1973.

[ahli.livejournal.com]

THAT WAS MY FAVOURITE PART OF THAT EPISODE!

'Millwall, Millwall, you're all really dreadful, and all your girlfriends are unfulfilled...'

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

I cannot disagree. On the other hand, I still can't quite wrap my mind around Bernard thinking that accountant!Manny is strange.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Holy cow, it's a real team:

Eheheheheheh.

What an adorable and scary little pink-eyed dictator she is.

And, Luna and the Little Martians? ::wants::

Thanks -- I saw the page from somebody else's link.

The white Luna was my favorite, probably because of the Star Trekkish outfit and hair, although I liked all three.

And the little green-skinned baby Martian.

I've always rather liked Tonner's dolls. I had no idea the company had branched out & grown so much.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

I love White Luna! I like Blue's coloring more, but White's outfit kick's nine kinds of ass. And Green Martian looks like Pia Zadora.

Near as I can figure, the Oz dolls did shockingly well, so they've seen there's a market for dolls who aren't part of the dog-eat-dog world of New York haute couture. Thank God.

[thistlethorn.livejournal.com]

I'm all for a wide variety of dolls. :-) If it were up to me, there'd be dolls from every TV show I liked, from books I loves, all the original creations that are out there....

I still covet that Frank Black doll. Of course, I'm extremely picky about verisimilitude, and they captured him dead-on.

I thought the Harry Potter dolls were pretty nifty, too, although not quite perfect in the likeness department, so they get points shaved off for that. Ron and Harry were close, with the Harry doll looking the most like the actor who played him. the Hermione doll had only the slightest hint of a resemblance to, oh crap, whatever her name is.

Ooh, yeah, blue-skinned Luna in the white outfit! The gold outfit looked more like something from the American Model page, really. Not unattractive, but not "space couture," as it were.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

I like the first Mattel Hermione doll. I think she re-uses an Olsen Twin facemold, but she's charming with her freckles and little socks. Though I had to make her underpants, because Mattel are cheap bastards.

[thistlethorn.livejournal.com]

I agree -- Mattel always seems to go for the cheapest outfits.

I didn't even know Mattel did any HP dolls -- I'll have to look for them.

Yeah, the mainstream, doll companies love to re-use head molds. Poor Luke Skywalker (Kenner doll), made from a Hardy Boy mold. Not sure what they used for Leia -- she was okay, at least. Harrison Ford, of course, they captured perfectly. Although I have an Indy doll for Han Solo.
