Well, it wasn't that long; at least, not compared to some of my other... uhh... still boxed dolls and figures.

I'm going to have to find her a pack of cigarettes.
I was surprised at how much she looks like a character out of that era.(08-22-2019, 06:06 PM)Lejays17 Wrote: She’s lovely, and I’m so pleased she’s out of her box
She suits the idea of a typing pool from the 50’s
She, too, is pleased; although being put to work immediately after escaping from her box may not have been what she had in mind.

Just don't look in her handbag. (Note to self: Dilettante needs a 1940s style handbag.)

Ooh, I love that. That type of Secretary who can do nearly anything, so just don't question it and always make sure you pay them on time.
Pay? Oh, right, about that....

Her coat is very nice, but I think the outfit under the coat is even nicer!

I agree with Dilettante being a secret-agent-type secretary. She looks like she's got some secrets.
Tell us what you come up with, from the Story Forge cards. Interesting idea....
Oh, I'm sure she has lots of secrets! Or, she knows lots of secrets... about a lot of people!

22 August – Sorta Steampunk
Following a conversation on an action figure forum, I've been trying to cobble together a 'steampunk' style GI Joe figure without having to buy a bunch of stuff. I purchased the jacket recently, but the rest of the bits and pieces are things I already had on hand. In addition to Hasbro GI Joe pieces, the elements include parts from 21st Century Toys, TBLeague, and Pinky Street.
Yes, Pinky Street.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!
