Evie is clearly not that sort, based on how proudly she's posing with her giant teddy-bear friend. She reminded me of a photo taken of my sister with a bear similar in size compared to --- her. She always wanted to have a plush teddy that was bigger than her, and once they found one in a supermarket. It was a little too ex-pensive and too big for their room (and I think her (now luckily ex-)husband is also among those who don't know what fun plushies bring), so the bear stayed in the supermarket.
Finn seems to be proud (and protective) of his cool calendar. Did you manage to take a picture of its contents, now that all the doors have been opened? I'd be interested to see what you've got

Finn's an optimistic little fellow, so he determined to see off the old year by showing off his Marvel Advent Calendar figure collection to our new arrival, Yari.
Finn's a little more impressed by the whole thing than Yari, who can't quite work this out.
Finn: Aren't they cool?
Yari: Can any of them fight with a spear?
If anyone is wondering who they all are, this is the role call from left to right:
Top row: Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Black Panther, Iron Fist, She-Hulk, Loki, Thanos, Venom
Middle row: Daredevil, Gamora, Punisher, Spider-Gwen, Alt Verse Spiderman, Starlord, Groot, Rocket Racoon
Bottom row: Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, Spiderman, Black Widow. Vision, Doctor Strange.

That is an impressive display, even if Yari looks skeptical.
Your ADAW photos are always so sunny and cheerful. Can't wait to see what adventures 2021 brings for your crew!

Impressive collection, and one of the few times Finn has appeared confident and cheerful! I find I it odd how their ex.pressioms can appear to change depending on the situation.
I agree, Yari looks skeptical; as in, wondering what kind of nerd-fest she’s found herself in! I’m sure Finn’s enthusiasm will ultimately convince Yari of the cultural benefits of pop culture!
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

That's quite a haul. Wow, seeing them with the dolls, they must be really tiny.
Haha, I also thought Yari looks skeptical. I figured either she's trying to figure out what's the point, or she's wondering if any of them might be a match for her
Is he trying to impress her? Is there... some interest on his part...??? He looks rather hopeful....
Hmmm.... looking forward to seeing future adventures.

Yari’s a Dal, unimpressed is their default e ression. Finn is just being friendly Finn and trying to make the newbie feel welcome. He doesn’t quite get that not everyone is an Uber nerd like him.

He’s definitely a different type of nerd to Amelia. Who needs to remind Finn that the Captain America figure is only on loan, and will be reclaimed shortly
We need to introduce Yari to one of the Meera or Aquamam figures - they’ll have a spear to fight with!

I'll forever be in love with Finn (I won't say I regret getting Hansie over him when the chance was there, because I adore Hansie, but I wish I had the opportunity to get them both back then when they were both up for sample sale...), and he looks so content with his little figures! Yari - I first thought she looked possessive, looking for ways to snatch some of the figures up, but looking again, I agree with the skeptical look. Yeah, she's a Dal, it's in the face sculpt, but you can't deny those eyebrows are helping a great bit!
Talking about skeptical... Loki being put next to Thanos, I imagine there are similar feelings going on over there
