Werepuppy's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020
She is really beautiful. Siggy is my favorite, too! I also have Zombie Shake, and really wanted but never got Coffin Bean.

Her hair looks gorgeous! Mine suffers from a nasty case of glue seepage, but I'm afraid to do something about it, because the flocking comes off way too easily.

I'm lucky in that respect - I've been able to keep her hair looking quite nice!

I would love to know how to clean hair without damaging flocking - my Hunter could really use a clean...

154. W is for Wicked

I just wanted to take a picture of Elphaba, really. Put some filters on it to see how it would look

Oooh, what a dramatic pose, appropriate for a dramatic lady!

The filter looks great.

The filter gives the impression that this pic is a salvaged frame from an old, somewhat degraded film. Quite evocative of a bygone era.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

Thank you! I like to think she;s in the middle of one of her big song numbers

Which is ironic, because who knows if the Wicked film will ever happen...

155. X is for X-Catcher

Definition: In old naval slang, an X-catcher or X-chaser was someone who was good at math—literally someone good at working out the value of x.

Well, Toralei is very good at Maths, so she can be the featured x-catcher of the photo!

Now that's a very interesting X! Sig Toralei is awesome doll. I didn't get her back then, because I don't like maintaining short hair on dolls, but I always loved her sig outfit.

I did not know that! So even more appropriate!

I'm quite fond of short hair on dolls, though I had to pick up my sig Toralei second-hand so she doesn't have all her pieces.

156. Y is for Yoda

Yes, the ancient Jedi Master makes an appearance. This version is from the Forces of Destiny line by Hasbro, made to be in scale with those 12" figures.

I like short hair on dolls as well - Apart from Amelia (brand new pure zzz, not actual Amelia who is called Bea here) the girls who go on holidays with us all have easy hair to look after.

The Yoda is cute - do you have a pic with him & others from the line to see scale?

I do not recall seeing the Forces of Destiny Yoda figure before. Interesting it is!

We’ve got a couple of Yoda’s I think. My favourite is our Christmas Yoda.

Whenever I see Yoda, I can't not think about this meme.

Short hair does make taking a doll places easier to manage. 

I do not, but I will take one!

He came packaged with the Luke figure. He's a good wee figure.

Don't underestimate the importance of a good beauty sleep, little Baby-Yoda-But-Not-Really, you'll get wrinkles unnecessarily fast. Then again, maybe that's actually a desirable result with this species...

Yeah, yeah, yeah! That Beatles meme is brilliantly funny!

Hey, nice play of light and shadow in the Sleepy Yoda pic!
They're not dolls, they're action figures!
