She does look excited, and I totally get why!

That's a gorgeous colour for her - I love the brocade swirls.

Thanks all! I was pretty excited too... then last night I tried to make a shirt to go under it... and was back to "I can't sew". I mean, compared to this, a tank top should have been a no-brainer. Instead, I am on my 3rd try. What the...???
New girl is building up quite a photo portfolio. She couldn't not have a sword, so after a lot of hunting on eBay and a lot of "I'm not paying that much" and many of them were too big, I finally found these, which are pretty cool, if a little tarnished-looking in the grooves. (The blood of our enemies...? XD )
Now she's ready to weigh anchor.

The blood of her enemies tarnishing her sword is a nice touch!
How many crew members will you need to outfit to satisfy the demands of the Crimson Captain?

Now that's one dangerous babe!

Awesome accessory addition!

She absolutely needs a sword! Very pleased you found a suitable (pre-used going by the blood in the grooves) one for her.

Thanks, everyone
This is "Legends of Oz" Dorothy. (I don't even know this movie?) She came from a friend, who I thought was maybe getting a bit interested in dolls; I had hoped to enable a bit XD but then one day Dorothy showed up in my mailbox, as the friend sent her to me. I think she found her in a thrift store. She's not very poseable, but she's cute. Apparently she came originally with a plastic Toto, and with braids. I should probably fix her hair then; it's a bit frizzy. So anyway, she became part of the crew. I should take some more pix of her.

Oh, and Sunsette's sometime movie sidekick, Albert the finger-puppet pirate, so as far as ship's officers are concerned, I think we're good to go XD

Now she gets to be a Joy Adamson doll from Born Free.
No, wait, even better; she actually looks like Paula Tracey from Daktari, with her pal Clarence the Cross-Eyed Lion!

Woohoo, going to get a photo in this week after all. Cop-out snapshot time but whatever.
I bought this almost a whole year ago with this year's PUDDLE in mind. Debating whether to cram it in my suitcase.

What an awesome ship!
06-19-2018, 02:26 AM
A fine vessel, indeed, and in suitable scale, playscale-wise; any shortcomings may be overlooked because... cannon! And a plank for a briny stroll! And quite jolly Jolly Rogers there on the pennants and sails!
"Cop-out snapshot time!" Heh! Yeah, I hear ya! Although even your "cop-out" photo exhibits at least an attempt at creativity and effort.

That's a fantastic ship for the crew. Love the flags and the tiny cannon, and they have a plank to walk! So cute
