Neon’s A Doll A Day… Again (2020)

Her name is kind of hokey, sounding more like a Novi Stars name than a Monster High name.

I agree with you that too many new characters were being introduced too quickly. And why was Elle branded as "Daughter of the Robots"? We already had Robecca... who, although she had a creator-father, wasn't actually the "daughter" of anyone or anything, which makes her rather an anomaly among Monster High characters.

Astranova's mag-lev gimmick is pretty awesome, actually. And the magnet in her head is impressively strong!

A retro-futuristic space diner would be uh-maze-ballz! Such a diorama would be challenging to construct, at least for me. But... I bet your dad could do something interesting along those lines! (See, those radios have completely taken over my thinking when it comes to building props and sets.)

I think there's room for more than one robot in MH, and I liked that they introduced a modern high-tech robot as a counterpart to 100+ years old steampunk one (I wonder if Robecca should be called 'advanced automaton' instead of 'robot', being this old).

I like the idea of having educational gimmick like that, but because of the magnet, she was incredibly top heavy and had next to none hair, which made playing with her in other than intended way annoying. I wouldn't mind if a second or a third release had that, I'd just like to have a doll with not so limited possibilities first. But I'm generally not fond of gimmicky dolls, I also don't like them on my Novi Stars, so there's that. I wonder if we could get any non-gimmicky alien dolls in the future...

Ha.  That would be fun!  
I feel like those "lens" eyes ought to be more efficient than ours...

Restaurant at the end of the universe?  xp
Another vote for Daddy_Jellyfish to construct something!  LOL

Restaurant at the end of the universe - that's something from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, right? I haven't read that...

I don't really want to bother my dad with a project of that scale. Plus, I have no aliens to hang out there.


Day 140

ADAW #19

This is doodle #20 of 2020, and I wish I realized that sooner, did something special and posted it on the 20th. Oh well. Here's something non-special on the 19th.
Nevermind, I messed up the count

ETA: This is the doodle I started drawing three weeks ago, but couldn't finish due to headache. Then I forgot I had it lying around, and now I finally got back to it.
