Gorgeous perspective of Mirai and the hunting rifle,
Hmm, not sure about her blush, it seems awfully heavy-handed for one of these doll faces. Not that I’ve seen a whole lot of them - maybe a half-dozen, most of which are yours.

So you have a pirate, a pyrotechnist, a sniper... I wonder what Nellie is going to be... Have any 1/3 sized pilots?

The blush does seem quite purple there. But I am loving her goggles

I was surprised by how "not subtle" the blushing is. I will try to take a photo with more natural lighting to give a better indication of what it looks like. The shade is highly contrasting, so even a minor tweak to the photo color balance seems to exaggerate the effect.

Not yet, but I have lots of 1/6 pilots.

Those inekspensive plastic goggles have proven quite versatile. They were marketed on eBay as "swim goggles" for American Girl dolls.

Hahaha! when I saw the first pic I thought "I hope he's going to do the rest of the song with some more dolls"  I'm sure there's someone in your crew who would like to pick him up.

That's why I specifically asked about 1/3 size

Didn’t recognise the first lyrics, but did the second.
Lovely use of photo to illustrate them

If I can get the photos I want, more of the song will be a part of the Traveling Action Man story.

Oh good! Glad to hear that! I wasn't sure how to illustrate that particular lyric, and most of my ideas and attempts did not work out.

Thanks! It should continue to be a fun sequence if it comes together somewhat as planned.

I modified the first line. It should be "Standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona," but I didn't want to make the twelve hour round trip drive to snap one or two photos in the actual location. Well, actually, I do want to make the drive to get that pic, but it's not feasible due to time and weather constraints.

This also made me LOL, because I "thought" that was what the lyric was, even though I didn't know there was a Winslow Arizona, but lately, having rediscovered an 80s rock station, I am hearing many of the mis-heard (and mispronounced) song lyrics I remember -- and they still don't make sense So I wondered if that was another I misheard.
Your girls are ready for a movie.... or a TV series!

I think they are "plinking" at old tin cans and beer bottles, mostly.
18 December – Mattel Wild Hearts Crew at Walmart
The price at Walmart for the Wild Hearts Crew dolls has been reduced by $2.00 USD, from $14.97 to $12.88, but they still don't appear to be moving. They are displayed on a high shelf, one level down from the very top, well above the eye level of kids and most adults.
I "re-merchandised" the display myself. Only Kenna dolls were visible. I shuffled them around to give equal eksposure. After all, somebody should care, and it's obvious that Walmart doesn't.

That's so sweet of you!
I don't even know if Wild Hearts Crew arrived to Czech Republic...
