Love the 3-tone hair with the dramatic orange stripe down the center!

Agree with Aichan - Casta is not happy having her photo taken there.

She’s the one who was “inspired” by one of Beyoncé’s stage personas, right?

Hehe, I would not blame her for being that way. There really is a strong feel of it and I assure you, unintentional.

And here we have why my Create-A-Monster witch, Nora, is an EAH student in my doll-verse and not a MH student. Look the original Baum books are in the public domain and as long as you use a different shade of green, you could get away with it. Though looking at it, Nora has a similar shade of green to the Pink Label Mattel Wicked Witch doll...

But yes! Would have loved to have seen an EAH take!

If I still had her hair in the original style, it would look much more impressive, as the colours were gathered up in a bump.

I believe so, yes? I mean I could be wrong but I believe Casta was heavily Beyonce inspired.

151. T is for Time Squad



Teeny tiny little Doctor Who figures! These came out - originally - between Tennant's last episode, and Smith's first. The Master was a build a figure one that you needed all the other figures to make. I got lucky. I quite like the cartoon style of these guys.

I’ve got a couple of them! The Clockwork Man and the Cyberman for sure, and also one of the Doctors.

No idea Who is Who (bad pun, anyone?), but I like the Cthulhu fella drinking form the lab glass with a straw (although that's probably not what he's doing...).

I shall simply agree with neon's comment, because it made me laugh. A lot!

That’s an Ood. They’re one of the newer Who creations.

Well, I recognize most of them... Fun collection.
Casta does look like she's having a bit of a dramatic moment there.

I could have sworn I had a little Dalek in this style...

Fun pun! Also that's an Ood.

It made me laugh as well!

Actually, now I think on it, we've not seen an Ood in a while.

I feel like Casta uses all her dramatics in her stage performances.

152. U is for Uniform



This little bear here is from Harrods in London, and he's wearing the uniform of their door attendants!

He’s adorable! I got a teeny bear when we were there, in a bag, just so I could say I bought something at Harrods.

But the uniformed bear is way cuter!

Squeee, plush uniform!!!
He's adorable.

He is cute! That's a fun souvenir from famous Harrods.

He is sooo cute. I love him the in the plush Harrods uniform.

Oh I've seen those wee bears in bags! Very cute! 

I got lucky - he was included in a sale!

They do sell fun little things like this for people to be able to say they've been to Harrods. It's a thing.

It's all so lovely!

153. V is for Venus



Original signature Venus is probably my favourite of all her releases, so I'm glad that's the version of her I have in my collection. Her hair is so ridiculously soft.

In addition to being ridiculously soft, the hair on your example of Venus appears to be in very good condition, nicely brushed and without glue matting.
