davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023

[davidd]

I have been eyeing up those Wild Hearts Crew dolls on ebay lately. Must resist! They are super cute, though.

Sometimes they show up for good prices, less than original retail, for mint-in-box examples on eBay. But then add in shipping and... yeah, prices aren't so great.

I have, or had (I don't remember which ones I still have) three of the five Wild Hearts Crew: Kenna Roswell, Charlie Lake, and Rallee Radmore.

Action Figure Shoes

DID 80154 1/6 WWII German Flying Ace “Star of Africa” Marseille Boots

In short: doll shoes.

This is an illustration of the total random nature of my doll and figure "collection," and of the "because it looks cool" approach I take to action figure and doll purchases.

I was scrolling through eBay listings a few weeks ago (these boots arrived today from a seller in China) looking for something else and these military shoes for a male 1/6-scale action figure caught my eye. I mean... they looked cool. And the asking price seemed reasonable.

I compared prices to another site that carries such things -- MonkeyDepot.com -- and this pair was a better price (usually MD prices are hard to beat)... so I bought them.

I did not have a specific project in mind for these shoes. I was not looking for "male action figure military shoes" at the time. I rationalized the purchase by a) having money to spend, b) I liked the looks, and c) I never seem to have enough male action figure footwear.

Now that I have the shoes, I wonder what additional purchase they will lead to?
