I hope Pumpkin makes more appearances in October! For obvious reasons.

Oh, that something I don't know how to take (LOL)

I will see what happens!

Orange with dark tips, though how dark it appears is dependent on how the fur lies.

It is. I never really noticed it before.

It's brown I think. It is a weirdly cool association that the head makes though.

179. Q is for Quartermaster



Well, someone has to take care of all the weapons...

Oh, now this s a fun pic! Look at all those gadgets and goodies! Including impressive tomes of arcane secrets! All displayed on a retro-modern transparent tabletop! Excellent collection of intriguingly dangerous implements!

Again trying to see things on the silly little phone screen, but that looks like a very interesting stash.
Lava bear, ha ha. I really love the effect.

You neeeeed a 27-inch 5k retina display:  https://www.apple.com/imac/



(Of course, now that I've made the mistake of looking at that website, I neeed one, too! And one of those cool Werepuppy Quartermaster Division acrylic tables in 1:1 scale to set it on!)

Why does the thought of these two taking care of all the weapons seem so unsettling?

Well the Addams family does know how to best display their weapons collection. And this is only a part of it!

It is a fun little stash! 
Pumpkin Pie is quite happy to be known as Lava Bear.

Because you don't know who they might use them on?

180. R is for Robecca



The fabulous steam punk robot girl Robecca deserves more photos. I need to take more photos of her.

Me too! Robecca is awesome. When they released CE Lala, I was so hoping for super-deluxe collector Robecca in opulent steampunk gown.

I’d be concerned with them looking after all the weapons, but someone needs to know what everything does.

And Robecca is such a cool release. She one of my favourite minis as well.

I agree, steampunk robot girl Robecca is fabulous, and we should all take more photos of her!

Interesting character, and how are we at “R” already??!

I agree about Robecca needing more love.

Oh, gosh, that would have been so amazing. I would have loved a CE Robecaa in a steampunk gown. Maybe in a plastic that looked a bit metallic to emphasis the robotic nature of her? Could have been wonderful.

If someone doesn't know, then there will be that case of someone mispronouncing a spell and before we all know it, there's chaos everywhere. 

Robecca is a cool release, thought IDK if I've seen her mini...

/puts 'take more photos of Robecca' on to do list.

I would say because time has no real meaning? Or because the alphabet moves quicker than we ex.pect.

I need to find some good places to take photos of her.

181. S is for Scaramouche



The bad arsed babe who will unleash the lost riffs and help bring the golden age of rock back to a world ruled by one coroporation.  I have good reason to think that Scaramouche is the Blackadder of her era, and it's not just because the show was written by Ben Elton...

Bratzillaz were such a fun line! I loved the designs, but the quality was... As problematic as always with MGA dolls. We got the first two waves, then they disappeared. I always wondered whether they'd work with Obitsu bodies.

You did a great job on her outfit!!!

Your post, and the mention of Ben Elton, inspired me to read about the musical, which I have not seen. It sounds like the dialogue is full of references to rock lyrics and rock bands and performers. Is the show as quick-witted and clever as a Blackadder episode?

I read this summary on Wikipedia: "The musical tells the story of a group of Bohemians who struggle to restore the free exchange of thought and fashion, and live music in a distant future where everyone dresses, thinks and acts the same." This strikes me as extremely sad as here we are today, nearly two decades after this musical was released, and the pressure to conform is stronger than ever; indeed, it is now legally enforced in many respects. The virus is being used to justify even further control, and we are being brainwashed in to "binge-watching Netflix" and accepting similar mind-numbing, screen-based, conformity-inducing activities as "the new normal."

Anyway, as you know, I love your custom-costumed "Scaramouche" Bratzillaz gal, and she looks as goth-glam as ever here!

Whenever I see or hear the word Scaramouche my mind immediately goes to the old movie with Stewart Grainger, and I still maintain that the film has one the best sword fight scenes ever.
