davidd’s A DOLL A DAY 2021

[Alliecat]

Hmm, I'll have to try that spot-lighting thing sometime.
You have so much cool music equipment there; I feel like your crew could have a tremendously fun band if they all got together. How to choose who would be in it though...?

[Elfy]

I think Blue’s a shoe in.

Yeah, I went through a "a band might be fun" phase a month or so ago. The novelty of the idea has already worn off, but I still have some more junk on the way via eBay that hasn't yet arrived. I really gotta stop buying stuff on a whim.

I think Blue’s a shoe in.

Yeah, she's actually already a member of a band called Vagabonds' House, with two other characters.

A Doll A Day 2021:

17 April - Head Under Glass

Kinda reminds me of a 19th-century post-mortem photograph, or maybe of an incorruptible saint's body preserved in a cathedral or monastery.

YMToys YMT029C action figure head. I don't remember why I bought it. It won't be around much longer, so I guess in a way it is a post-mortem portrait; or, at least, a farewell image.

[Elfy]

If you have no use for it and can’t even remember why you got it, not much point in keeping it. It does look effective, though, like a prop in a horror movie,

[Alliecat]

Interesting effect. Sounds like maybe it would be helpful to write down when you buy things, and why.... Would that provide any inspiration for following through with plans?

[Lejays17]

It does look like a figure / portrait you would see in a Victorian Mourning Brooch. All it needs is a wreath of hair surrounding it, and it wold be perfect!

[dargosmydaddy]

Delightfully creepy!

[davidd]

Sounds like maybe it would be helpful to write down when you buy things, and why....  Would that provide any inspiration for following through with plans?

Actually, I just need to stop buying things. Things, things, and more things. Too many things already! Just one more little piece and I'll stop, at least for a while, I tell myself, but nooo...!

18 April – My Entire Tonner Dolls Collection

What's that? You want to know what's in the boxes?

Maybe we'll find out tomorrow. Or next week. Or... sometime.

Maybe.

[Elfy]

Tonner is one I have never heard of.

[Alliecat]

Wow. The diversity of your collection never ceases to surprise me. Yes, we want to see in the boxes!

[davidd]

Tonner is one I have never heard of.

Tonner was a pretty big name in the fashion doll world for a while. They also made extremely realistic baby dolls.

Wow. The diversity of your collection never ceases to surprise me. Yes, we want to see in the boxes!

Yeah, I'm sometimes surprised... or horrified... myself. I often wish I had limited myself to one or two lines rather than picking up anything that caught my fancy.

19 April - MGAE Novi Stars Nita Lite

Nita Lite is my favorite of the Novi Stars releases because the figure most closely resembles the traditional or classic idea of a "Martian."

[dargosmydaddy]

Ooh, I like her! Looks like she has a following, too.

[Elfy]

Those are her minions.

[Alliecat]

More dolly diversity! I like the extra pieces that look like some of their technology

They're still putting the pieces back together after that unfortunate incident in Roswell in 1947.
