Werepuppy's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020

[werepuppy]

She is adorable, as is her little silky frog stuffy <3

How did I manage to comment on Tiana and totally miss Susan!?

Who is fabulous, I love how haughty she looks!

The little frog stuffed toy for Tiana is just pretty perfect, I have to admit. It's kept attached by a rubber loop that goes around her wrist. 

Susan was a custom my parents bought me for my birthday a good few years ago now, and she's remained a firm favourite in the collection. 

Marvellous custom!!!!!!! (just imagine a really long row of exclamation marks here)

If there was an official line of Discworld dolls, I'd be doomed! But in a good way!

As for Spectra's feet - yes, they are transparent, her siggy and some other releases also have transparent shoes to boost the ghost effect.

Oh, gods, yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I kind of dread the day some major film studio does a good enough pitch to produce a film that gains a ton of merchandise. Because it would be Tiffany and there would be dolls. And wee figures of the Nac Mac Feegles. 

Basically I think Discworld themed dolls would be amazing. Angua would be a fun custom...

Susan looks awesome! I love her cool, distanced attitude and her ensemble!

I don't think I've ever seen this animator version of Tiana. Which is a shame because she is adorable indeed!

I also never understood all the fuss about Spectra's head mold... she is a ghost, she is a monster, how else would she look than scary? I think she is very well put together as a character and a doll (very much unlike Ari). So much thought went into her, at times resulting in outcomes I wish Mattel used more often also on other dolls - like the  several hand molds she had to accompany her actual release's outfit. I think Spectra wins the contest of MH dolls released with the most different pairs of hands.

Susan's attitude makes reading her books a lot of fun. Her general attitude to being called to be a hero boils down to "oh, if I must."

These ones are exclusive to the Disney Store, though I think the current version wears yellow instead of green. 

Parents can be... Odd, feels like an understatement. They worry about their children, but maybe focus on the wrong things? Also the hand trivia was something I did not know! 

Is that a Pullip dress she's wearing?

No, actually, it's a custom dress that was made for her - part of purchase when my parents got her. She's sewn into it. 

I have no idea who she is but her face is pretty...  

Susan Sto Helit, Duchess of Sto Helit, and featured character in the Discworld books, as written by Sir Terry Pratchett. Susan is the granddaughter of Death and has inherited some Death traits of her own. She was raised to be rational, though often of a kind that is unrational on the Disc. She thinks her name is the reason why she's often reliable, and good a crisis as Susan is a very sensible sort of name. It's implied she's Death's heir apparent, and should he ever retire (again) she will take up the scythe. 

... Long story short: please read the Discworld series. Just avoid the first few, he'd gotten the hang of it by Guards Guards. (They're not bad, the early ones, it's just telling that he's still working out the vibe of it all.)

The animator Tiana is so cute - I have two (Snow & Belle), and I regret not getting the Rapunzel (she was gone when I went by the shop the next week).

And Susan is just so practical about everything.  Including the monsters under the bed (or in the wardrobe). 

... I was just trying to think if I've seen an Animator Rapunzel in a while and honestly I don't think I have? Kind of surprised there might not be one still in the line, considering how popular she is as a character. 

Exactly! Susan is a perfect teacher to have in the Room. She's so level-headed and practical.

216. V is for Vicious



V from BTS. I decided like many an idol before him, he can play a role in the Room. So V becomes Vicious, who is rather unlike his name, but people do get ideas. Ophelia did.
