Captain Sofia joins the PrettyTiny pirate crew! (new Jan. 5)

[Alliecat]

I shared a link to this post on one of the Action Figure forums, and at least three or four people have already stopped in to take a look.

To my eye, the hands do not appear disproportionately large in any of these photos. I mean, you could say the same thing, only in reverse, about the unnaturally small, paddle-like hands of Pullip dolls, I suppose.

Possible alternative for changing out the hands: use hot water instead....(I wonder if it would help with that vinyl hat?)

The accessories look like fun. I like it that the pistols do not match. They seem more like "spoils" from a pillaging raid that way!

The pix with the treasure chest are nicely staged! That treasure box has been needing a pirate to go with it.

I wonder: will the PTFCo crew be a mellowing influence on Cap'n Allie... I mean Sofia? Or will the Cap'n inspire the crew to even greater mischief and tomfoolery?

Ha, I saw that.  The reaction to the figure in general seemed notably lukewarm.  I mean what's not to like?? 

It's funny, if you look at your hand next to your face in the mirror, it is quite large... maybe the small hands of other dolls are a factor.  Maybe also just the way these are designed; instead of on a smaller peg they have a really noticeable joint.  Also they're a different colour than her body 

Hmm, never tried hot water.  Then you've got water inside the hollow hands and up the arms.  Not a big deal for the plastic I guess, but potentially drippy?  Nope, won't do anything for the hat; it's too slippery to stay on.

Good point about the guns 

Several of the crew have posed with that jewel box, including Dawn, Daesani & Petra digging for treasure, Dae again in her pirate outfit, Taryn on the beach, Victoria on another beach, and various minis!   

Mellowing?  Nah... our new Public Relations Specialist is here to make sure the crew doesn't take crap from anyone
