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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
