davidd's A Doll A Day 2018

[davidd]

The GI Joe story makes me feel sorry for an action figure....

I have that difficulty, too. I begin to assign "feelings" to inanimate objects, especially to toys, dolls, and action figures.

I have that Jade J'Adore, probably my favourite Bratzillaz so far. She was my only one until this year. Gee I wonder what changed?

The opportunities for temptation from this "Doll a Day / Week" thing are growing, aren't they?


I purchased one of the Jade J'Adore Bratzillaz figures when they were originally released, but I only kept the costume and sold the doll. Later, of course, I came to regret having done that and bought the one seen here. I was intending to open the package but now I kind of don't want to. Or rather, I do want to, but I'm thinking of buying another one so I can open one and keep the other mint-in-package.

Mint-in-Box Marches into April:

13 April – Monster High Vandala Doubloons, Daughter of a Pirate Ghost

Sometimes when ordering online you end up with multi-language international packaged versions of the Monster High dolls like this one rather than the standard USA release.

In the early days of Monster High, most figures were made in Indonesia while a few were made in China. There was actually a subtle difference in the face screenings, particularly in the size of the eyes. The Indonesia-made figures were generally considered to be the more attractive. At first glance, the relatively large eyes of this Vandala figure lead me to believe she is an Indonesia-made version. Checking the box confirms that assessment.
