Wow, that's an impressive collection!
I like the little one in the safari hat; that looks like my style

Is this what you're looking for?

Oh, that's an impressive collection! I hope you'll be able to get Batman Bombshell soon!

It’s a very impressive collection, I can see you are both very proud of it!

The spice stands have worked out well as display pieces.

Aw! Finn does look proud. And I was going to ask about your little bleachers... good to know they're spice stands!

Most of the Bombshells are pretty cool, but what's with that dude in the front row? Is he one of the Village People?

I'm curious about your "dolly universe." Obviously Finn is sentient and "alive," so to speak, but what about the figurines like the Bombshells? If Finn collects them, I assume they are for the most part just toys or figurines, as opposed to Finn and the rest of the Pullips, who are self-aware and act independently.

The ‘dude’ is Superman. The concept behind the Bombshells was reimagining DC heroes and villains (predominately females) as 40’s era pinup girls. Series 3 introduced 3 of the male characters (Joker, Superman and the maddeningly hard to find Batman) they imagined Superman as a circus strongman.

The Bombshells are figurines, or toys. They’re not alive. Diana our Wonderwoman Pullip is self aware whereas the Wonderwoman Bombshell and probably the QPosket doll are not.

Finn's collection is amazing - you must have worked very hard on it! It's brilliant sight.

I saw them a few weeks back when I was shopping for something for my mum, and thought they were just the right size to display the figures.

And they’re very easy to swap around if Elfy wants to show off particular figures at different times.

Oh, okay, thanks for the clarification. I saw the Superman emblem, but the mustache threw me off. Clark Gable as Superman? Well, actually, I guess that would work in the context of 1930s-1940s style figures.

I did wonder if the moustache was a reference to Henry Cavill’s cgi’ed out one in Justice League.

Amelia points out to Finn that there is more than one Superhero fandom.

Whoa, that's a giant pic!

I hope that your Marvel and DC dolly fan groups don't fight each other.

Yeah, Pinterest decided to have a fit when I was trying to post it. I hope they don’t fight either, because the DCer’s will win by sheer weight of numbers.

No, we are pretty civilised with our opposing fandoms.

DC is currently “winning” in the toy/figurine battle, mostly because I don’t really like the toys/dolls that Marvel put out. Except for Captain America - I will get his stuff as he’s my favourite.

I'm glad they're nice to each other!

Yeah, I'm having problems with pinterest, too. When I post photos, I have to set the size here on forum. You don't have to fill out both the width and the height, just one of them is fine, so I just always set width to 600 pixels to keep things on screen.
