Alfred Hitchcock?

Alfred Hitchcock?

Yes, that is who the figure is supposed to represent. The inekspensive head sculpt is not especially accurate, and I was too cheap frugal to invest in a more representative suit of clothing.

This is the figure (aka doll) I was looking for a few days ago when I found the one who had switched out her own head! I don't know if that means this one is haunted, too.

Ha ha, are you sure you didn’t swap them, like, ages ago??
Have you got instruments for all these musicians? When you get into looking at sixth scale musical instruments there are lots of temptations.
I should have guessed Alfred Hitchcock.

Not another one!

Either I have an addiction, as was suggested to me recently, or a compulsion, which is pretty much the same thing, isn't it?

I feel compelled (which makes it a compulsion, right?) to have a body for each of my action figure heads, or a head for each of my action figure bodies.

Back in my "early days" in the 1/6-scale action figure hobby, a mere four or five years ago, I thought I'd be okay with having a few heads and maybe a few more bodies that I could leave in different costumes and just switch the heads around when I needed a figure to change outfits.

I know, I know, changing the clothes is supposed to be part of the fun, right? I hate changing doll clothes. And for that matter, combing doll hair. So how the heck did I end up with so many dolls?

Maybe it's time to quit cold turkey. Sell 'em all on da Bay, or dump 'em all at the county dump.

Anyway, a TBLeague S41 body showed up. I hope this will be the last one I buy for a long time.

It probably won't be. But I want it to be.

I bet I couldn't recoup even a quarter of what I've paid for this stuff. A tenth maybe. Nobody wants these things "pre-owned" because they have a tendency to spontaneously decompose after a few years.

While I'm at it, I should stop drinking soda pop and maybe go for a walk once in a while.

Yeah... right.

Very atmospheric. She has a very... direct stare.
Well, you could try paring down the collection to the ones you really couldn't part with, and the ones you actually have fun with.
Insert repetitive comment about not worrying how much money you'll get back out of them.
The only doll I've ever bought with even a tiny thought of 'sell if it doesn't work out' was Dawn's head, because what was I going to do with a full-size version of Grell? But then she turned out to be Sunsette's mom and the rest is lovely history!

This photostory installment makes almost zero sense as a stand-alone story. The references and gags are almost entirely based on what has previously transpired in the photostory game, or on one of the photographers who is participating, a guy named Gary aka Skeezicks aka ThePhotogsBlog, who was in the artillery when he served in the military and who has been a long-time avid photographer who has used Nikon equipment almost exclusively.

If you want, you can try to glean some of the context here, but it's probably not worth the effort:
