Werepuppy's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020
Maudlynne is definitely the most "real" or "alive" fig of all my dolls and action figures. Yes, I wish Tonner had made some friends for her.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

Maudlynne (perfectly named) has a nose that was just to made to look down at people, even if they’re taller than her.

Have to agree with Elfy, she is definitely looking down her nose at everyone, but especially those who are taller than she is.

She’s adorable (and probably hates being told that!)

Nah, she's okay with being called it, though prefers just simply "Mauds" if you're shortening her name. Aloof is a great way to describe her ex.pression, even though I would say that's not her nature at all.

I know, it's so easy to read a good personality into this doll. Really wish Tonner had done more with the line.

Ha! She thanks for you for the compliment - even if she doesn't really look down at people.

She doesn't really look down on people, she's quite a quiet sort, really. 

... Doesn't hate it, but doesn't much like it either. She's a bit contrary, sometimes.

114. N is for Nikolai

[Image: 68665970_9ffedf130d255e6ba4939fa72101d975_standard.jpg]

Nicu to his Aunts when they want to embarass him. Nikolai is the grandson and defacto heir to Count Dracula, and finds himself in the room with his Aunts Lucrezia and Mavis. Aunt Mavis is actually a bit of a kicker because he's older than her and yet she insists on being all... Aunt-like. As the defacto heir, there's a lot of standards that Nik, as he prefers to be called, tries to hold himself to - Grandfather ex.pects a lot, after all. 

He's dating Operetta, daughter of the Phantom, and they're trying to deal with his constant blood lust and want to drive his fangs into her. Not an innuendo.

That coat is awesome. I wonder what would happen if he actually drank Oppie's blood, her not being exactly a human and having some neat powers could mix things up...

As neon says, that coat is superb. So are his hands! Cool fig!

Not an innuendo. Uh huh, right.   yay

(If I recall, the uncle & the nephew were the same age.)

That is something we have yet to work out in the Room... Operetta is understandably a bit hesistant to volunteer for this ex.periment just in case someone can't control himself...

The coat is from a Bratz doll - the Masquerade line I believe. The doll itself is a Monster High Create-A-Monster Vampire Boy. They really were worth the money if you could grab them. 

Well, he says it's not an innuendo. I have my doubts

Thank you! 

Yeah, it can happen in really big families, and the Count does have a lot of daughters...

115. O is for Oliver

[Image: 68711579_cbe6f4fffc2d6aac97af53ce2a011560_standard.jpg]

My only male Azone doll! (I keep hoping I'll manage to get hold of the one that will make the perfect Artful Dodger...) Oliver here is named for the novel Oliver Twist, as that was honestly my first thought when I saw him.  In the Room he tends to be a quiet sort, who more often than not finds himself saddled with the work that others do not want to do.
Reply
What happens to Oliver in the Room sounds very much like his namesake in the book.

Ghe ish sho khuuteflrp! *wipes off drool*

Sorry, sorry. LOL He is so cute!
Azone in general hardly ever makes a not completely awesoe doll, but with Alvastaria series, they're really nailing it. Like nailing it squared. Nailing² it. I can't wait for my pirate boy, and I hope to get both new versions of Milo (I kinda want to get all versions of Milo, they're all exquisite).

My x-BIL has a couple of nieces & nephews that are older than him. He’s the youngest of 9 (I think, or it might be 8 - he’s been divorced from my sister for about 15 years now, don’t really remember details).

Oliver is such a cutie, he looks like he’s very serious about his job.

Oooh! Actual leather... or faux-leather... or leather-looking... cuffs on his shirtsleeves! I had not noticed that detail before!

I wonder what kinds of tools and accessories Oliver carries in that belt pouch? I imagine he always has the exact thing he needs at any given moment.

Love the "newsboy cap." (Is that style still referred to as a "bunnet" in Scotland? That's what Wikipedia sez.)

That is a very accurate take on it. Though there is less thieving here. Mostly because I do not have an Artful Dodger yet - I do hope to get hold of one though. I know the perfect Azone for it!

The fact that Azone always seem to nail their releases really makes the getting into the a dangerous game because they are all so good and it's a slippery slope to start on. I do hope your pirate boy arrives soon! I just am waiting to be able to check my account and then maybe - maybe - I may be able to afford the version of Milo that is the perfect Artful Dodger.

Oliver is very serious about so much. He needs someone around to show him how to have a laugh...

Faux-leather, but it's a lot sturdier than some pleathers I've seen used. 

Oliver tends to pick up anything he might find useful and put it in his pocket - you never know what you might need

(It is yes! Though the term newsboy cap is used as well so it varies on where you are.)

116. P is for Pepper

Kicking butt and taking names; it's all part of normal life of a top JET-SET spy! Though she still has to pass those classes that make up their cover story...

I love her outfit. One needs to look stylish while kicking butts!

Wow, “P“ already. Seems like this round of alphabet has gone very quickly. Both are cute. smile
