Sounds like a fun time! And a good book!
Did your little bears remind you that tomorrow (10 July) is Teddy Bear Picnic Day?
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

They are such cool names - far more inventive than mine. Mine all have regular people names. Except for my first teddy. Who was imaginatively named Teddy
I hoped they all enjoyed their storybook

What a cute bunch of bears. The trio's names sound like storybook-bear characters (are they?).

Oh yes, I know it’s a people name, but the other bears have way more obvious people names (the ones in easy view right now: Sebastian, Locksley, Maegan, Sydney, Guillame, Sofia).
Teddy is also as old as I am, so small children tend to name things very obviously. One of my sister’s bear was called T as it couldn’t be named Teddy, and the other didn’t have a teddy, but she had a monkey called... Monkey

Nope, just the names they came with!

192. Invisible Jet
So, I was basically given this when I bought my Hot Toys Wonder Woman. I have no idea what to do with it, but it looks cool...

Why, that's easy! Just put Wondsie in it, hold it high, run around the room and shout "wooooooshhh!!!!"

I concur completely! Don't neglect to post the video to YouTube... and send us the link!
One of my Flickr contacts posted photos of the Invisible Jet several months back, which led me in to a lengthy Internet search into the history of the invisible jet... which apparently first appeared as an invisible airplane, but was later updated when the "Jet Age" arrived in the 1950s. These days, the invisible jet doesn't appear very often, as WW has developed the ability to pseudo-fly by leaping great distances and drifting on air currents. Or some such thing.
It's a great looking little model. You should set it up and snap some photos. I imagine you could get some interesting lighting effects with a bit of eksperimentation.

... Okay, that's a fun idea and I need to do it.

I think I might be wrong in saying that jumping really high was always a thing for Wondy but I can't remember. I think the jet may have been a creation of one of the cartoons but I cannot be sure.
I will be playing around with it a bit when I've got some time.

193. Her Look?
So I think I have a look put together for Hayley, very much inspired by Marmalade Atkins. She was a classic 'bad girl' of British children's television, her show being a comic strip of the anarchic humour that... Actually is still fairly popular even now. Has a really cool theme song. I was re-watching the series on DVD - having found it at the local trade in store - and it just seemed to work with the vibe I wanted for Hayley.

Cute outfit. She looks so cute, in fact, that she can doubtlessly get away with considerable mischief before getting in to any real trouble.
Life is kind of unfair like that, in'nit?

Neon's idea for the invisible plane action sound like the best way to spend a wet afternoon.
Hayley's look is great, you've done a good job of re-creating the base look.
