However, it is quite fun to see that you are not "locked in" to any particular scale, and that you enjoy interesting figures no matter their size or type.
Dioramas are something I keep meaning to work on and I've still yet to start even one.
I really just go for whatever doll appeals to me. It makes for a fun collection.

Of that group, the most stand-offish is Enma Ai. Which makes sense. So yes, good friends - the younger lot tend to lean more to being friends.

What model is Susie again...? All three look quite posh.
You might like Jenny-Jinya's concept. She draws some pretty tearjerker stuff.
Susie is an R and D doll Kyoto Oren Susie.
Ooh I will check out their stuff.

The line up really came from me always wondering how a doll looks when compared with others - hence a line up that shows the heights and also how each doll looks next to another.
I have to ask: who are you tempted by?

Like others have said. It’s hard to get a sense of scale when you take single photos of individual dolls, so these a great.
The CreAtable World is the curly haired one on the very left?
Yes, the Creatable World doll is the very curly haired one. Seems to be about the same height of the 24cm Obitsu!

226. Time Lords
Because I felt in a Doctor Who mood, here's the Doctor, the Master, and Romana.

Romana is also a Fashion Lord, I can't imagine having that sort of collar and not accidentally killing myself because of it one way or another... The prints on her dress are gorgeous, though.

Interesting. Not the Romana I remember, but I haven't kept up since... Seven-ish.

Which of the Romania’s do you remember? 1 or 2? Admittedly the Romana isn’t either of them. I had such a crush on Romana 2 (Lalla Ward), although my crush on Nyssa eclipsed that.

The high collars are just a part of Time Lord style. It made that doll a perfect Romana in my mind

She's not based on any real Romana (as far as I know) but is rather the Mrs Who doll from Mattel's A Wrinkle In Time series. The style is very much in fitting with the Time Lord Council, so she found a place here as Romana.

I know there's at least one new regeneration from Big Finish... but then again I could be wrong there.

Wishing you and your Bear friend a happy belated birthday! It's so col that you are still together and basically share your whole life's stories! It would be cool to have a true life-long friend like that, but I sadly also don't have one either. I've just recently found my wrist tag from the hospital though. It's scary tiny! I am tempted to carry it around and show it to whoever makes a comment about my pretty-thin-for-an-adult wrists next time.

Well, anything small is usually tempting for me From this line-up, Emily is the most tempting one. I've been (not so actively, but still) wanting a doll of her for a long time now, and I've been eyeballing the Ashton Drake doll for years - before finding out her actual size which made me become disinterested. To me, she's a small character, and your girl seems appropriately sized. Though I'd likely look for a replacement body and sew actual clothes for her.
And the Azones are always tempting too, they seem such good quality - luckily though, I haven't yet encountered one that called out to me enough to justify their price.

228. Birthday Haul 1
First of two days of birthday present pics. This is Helter Skelter, from the 2020 Charlie Bears Collection. It might not be apparent from the picture, but Helter is a massive 27" tall! That makes them taller than Olivia and Jack! And yes, I will take a picture at some point to show this height comparsion. Originally designed by Isabelle Lee, the plush is candy floss pink with this blue tipping that looks gorgeous - I don't really know if the photo has captured it properly.
