Neon’s A Doll A Day… Again (2020)

Cool and dashing!

Thank you!!!

It's interesting to hear middle-rooted Blondie was not available over there either. I bought my first one online, and the shop actually advertised the doll with the middle-rooted stock picture, which would have also been the version I preferred, so I was somewhat disappointed when she arrived and had the front-rooted bangs. In the end I settled with another version of her as my favourite and keeper, and I'm actually considering selling my front-rooted one. I however, am also ex-periencing a massive glue-seepage issue with her, so she's currently sitting in the bathroom with a generous amount of baby powder massaged into her scalp. We'll see how much it will resolve the issue (and how much we bond during the process I do know that I like her impressive amount of hair more than that of later versions).

I also like that she has this bright blue as her signature colour, but I find it a tad bit disappointing that it was never used in her hair - not even as streaks. I really like how they used the pink in Epic Winter Briar's hair, and it's among my plans to give partial reroots to my other Epic Winter girls (minus Maddie who already has crazy-coloured hair ), either in a similar fashion as how Briar has her pink, or inverted, at the bottom/back. That way Blondie will also have her blues

The Taeyands look cool, I really like the detail in the outfit of the guy in front, but I still prefer that of the guy in back. Nothing beats a guy in black suits, coat, or any similar-looking apparel.

I'd recommend corn starch over baby powder, baby powder is meant to leave behind all sorts of stuff that's good for skin, but not necessarily plastic hair. I'm actually planning to do a massive glue-seepage treatment marathon for my MHs and EAHs next year, including removing their heads and putting some starch inside. Some dolls will need a reroot, though, their hair is too damaged. Good luck with your Blondie, I hope you'll be able to keep the glue seepage under control!

Birthday Ball Blondie has pastel blue hair, but I've never seen the line around here. I really wanted Duchess... I'll need to see your EW reroots (whenever you get to them)!

Thank you very much! For me, Pluto (Elazar Morgenstern in my collection) is my favorite Taeyang ever, I just love steampunk dolls. And redheads. But Sebastian (who became Orpheus Schwarzgrab here) is so cool, too! I'm not particular about the type of outfit, but dark and steampunk are my favorite styles.

Cool and mysterious.

They are just oozing cool & charm!

Thank you both!

Cool, mysterious guys.

And for some reason the song that goes 'cool guys don't look at elosions' came into my head. No idea why.

Thank you!

That actually got me thinking a bit. Both of them wouldn't look at an ex²plosion. Orpheus prefers to keep his distance from situations involving ex²plosions, and Elazar prefers stealthier methods of problem-solving. If he was forced to deal with something by using ex²plosives, I think he'd be long gone when it goes kaboom.

Day 345

Dark Queens meet-up!

I considered Dark Queens their own species (in my collection anyway), but lately, I've been thinking that it might actually be a specific mutation or a special gene, because there are human ones, vampire ones, elf and fae ones, etc... So not their own species per se, but I still think it's genetic. Maybe there was some original primeval Dark Queen who was her own species, and her offspring brought the Dark Queen gene to other species. Dark Queen gene means that one looks abnormally good in dark gothic and decadent fashions, has some neat superpowers, and is shrouded in aura of sinister fabulousness and gorgeousness even when forcibly awoken in the middle of the day, with no make-up and messy hair.

...I wish I was one.

Edit: Dark Queens don't necessarily turn evil. A lot of them do, but it's not a requirement.
Edit #2, because being focused seems to be impossible today: None of my Dark Queens are evil. There's a mischievous and a bit pranky one (that would be Mira), but the rest of them are actually very kind (even the Insane one). I think that with powers like theirs, being kind becomes really affordable.
