The middle of the first week of the New Year is the perfect time to start A Doll A Week project! And you're off to a great start with that fun picture!
As for shaking hands or shaking camera, that is an issue for anyone taking doll photos. When taking close-up photos of small objects like dolls, camera shake is much more evident in the photos than it is when snapping photos of full-size objects in the real world. Like Alliecat suggested, try bracing the camera or cameraphone against something... anything. I sometimes brace my hand that's holding the camera against a wall or the shelf on which the doll is sitting. I also usually snap ten or twenty photos and select the one that's the least blurry!
Also, if you're using a phone or tablet, you can always layer on the photo filters to turn a less-than-optimal photo into an 'artsy' photo. ;-)
I'm happy to see someone else joining in the fun!

They're not dolls, they're action figures!
