Neon’s A Doll A Migraine-less Day, More Or Less - 2019 edition!

Rapunzel looks like she's in shock, like she's heard something that has completely thrown her

That's interesting, she seems calm and even contemplative to me...

I'm similar. I'm not too big on zombies (I honestly feel fatigued of them at this rate; my brother is a huge Walking Dead fan). But vampires, witches, and werewolves? Sign me up, baby! Ghoulia is a total sweetie and one of my fave MH characters, however. As you said, she's a wonderful character.

High five!

I agree, the idea of zombie fairy tale characters is utterly insane, and appealing for just that reason! That the character designs are both cute and creepy while retaining the key elements of their fairy tale identities is a pleasant plus.

I did not know about these figures when they were originally released, and I do not have any of them. I see via eBay that there was an Alice in Wonderland version. Further research revealed that she was available only briefly, and online only, along with Belle from Beauty & The Beast. Alice is apparently quite rare and commands a premium price on the secondary market. The other OUAZ figures also seem to be holding their resale value rather well.

There was an accompanying series of novels. I do not know how many volumes were released. I see that the first volume won several YA book awards, both for the writing and for the cover design.

As I said in my previous post, they only made one batch of Alice, she sold out immediately, and there was supposed to be more (she was regular release, not intended to be limited) but the line wasn't doing well and Pamson went radio silent, then the line died. For the second time in a row. Quite ironic for the line of zombie dolls, isn't it?

As for the books, two out of three are out and this January, the author announced he's actively working on the third one. I regularly check for info on release date, so when I have any news, I'll post them in the library thread.

I bet Seanan would love your collection. Rolling the Deep is a novella, too, so won’t take long to read. You’d also love her Wayward Children series.

I have Wayward Children on my wish-spreadsheet (yup, simple list wasn't working anymore, so I have a wish-spreadsheet sorted by genre)!


Day 74

My last zombie princess, Belle, whom I posted not too long ago, but I don't believe that things like 'too much Belle' exist.

I think (?) I've already shared this story, I hope you'll excuse me if I'm needlessly repeating myself.

My OUAZ dolls have a very special place in both my collection and my heart. When I learned about OUAZ (the original WowWee dolls), I immediately fell in love with the line, and then I found Pamson will be rereleasing them, and I was like little kid before Christmas, checking their facebook every day, hoping they'll post a release date (the line was postponed several times, totaling in two years of delay). Shortly before they finally came out, my boyfriend of twelve years broke up with me and I was absolutely devastated. My sweet mom knew I wanted these dolls, so she went and bought them for me, all six main girls at once (and she had to get them online, as they weren't distributed to stores at all)! As a band aid for broken heart
Later I realized that I wasn't happy in that relationship at all (seriously, what was I thinking all that time? Where did my brain go? And why it didn't even bother to show me photos from the vacation because it obviously wasn't in my head that's for sure) and that I much appreciate the extra space for dolls that he so kindly vacated for me
So these dolls are my reminder that when something leaves or disappears, it makes room for something better to come, and that there are people I can count on.

...Also, they're so darn cute!
