Werepuppy's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020

[davidd]

Will this figure stand on her own in those golden go-go boots?

[Elfy]

Her boots are interesting.

[Lejays17]

Nice selelction of figures for the last couple of days. Love the cheerful Pokemon trainer in particular - she looks delighted with her charge there!

[werepuppy]

Thanks, all!

290. Revolutionary Girl Utena



"When are we going to finish this?"

Good question, Basil... soon I hope. We've only got 9 episodes left, and then the movie. This is the boxset for the first UK release of the Revolutionary Girl Utena anime. It's very nice and on blu-ray so colours are restored well.

I see Basil likes classics.

As I myself don't usually go for shoujo (not that I have any complaints, the genre just doesn't click with me), I'm impressed with Basil's wide range of ex²pertise, so to speak.

[davidd]

That's a "classic" series from a long time ago (relatively speaking), isn't it?

Sounds like Basil was more engaged with it than you were.

Basil is just really into the story. 

I have a wider ranging taste but I quite like the way shoujo often has an emphasis on character arcs. I'd say the titles I own are fairly evenly split though.

The anime first was shown in 1997, so sort of? It was one of those ones that gained instant classic status. 

I was engaged, it's just Basil thinks we should just sit and watch stuff all day, LOL.

291. Victoria's Waiting



Victoria is really looking forward to the arrival of her new friend, and is counting down the days till she arrives. As of today - 17th October - it's day 24 of the 60 day period that Pipos says is their usual length of time before dispatch. She's waiting, and hopes that her new friend arrives as soon as they possibly can. With all luck in our favour, we hope.

[neon_jellyfish]

Keeping my finger crossed for an early arrival! Also keeping my fingers crossed that she'll be able to handle Ademetus...

[Elfy]

I too have my fingers crossed that Victoria’s friend arrives earlier rather than later.

[Lejays17]

It’s so hard waiting for an eagerly-wanted something. Especially if you have an actual countdown on it

[Alliecat]

Will be interesting to see who her new friend is.
I've been binging on some movies/series as well; it's starting to be good weather for that. (i.e. crummy otherwise )

[davidd]

Having a new friend on the way is exciting!
Waiting... not so much; especially these days, when delivery times often have no relation to delivery estimates.

The personality that seems to be in my head for her suggests she might be able to, yes. Here's hoping it sticks when she arrives!

I am ever hopeful.

I swear, being told x many days makes those days seem longer.

I've got some good ieas for her new friend...! 

Fall and winter are perfect binging seasons.

60 days for them to dispatch, they say. 

Delivery... I have no idea.

292. A is for Agatha



It's a bear day. This is Agatha, who is a more traditionally styled teddy bear. She was part of the 2017 Charlie Bears collection, and she's 13" tall. What makes Agatha quite special is there's a little squeaker hidden inside her, so if you squeeze her, she gives a squeak. She's a cutie.

[neon_jellyfish]

Unyuu! She's too cute, and too fluffy!!! Aaaaah, I want to cuddle her!

[dargosmydaddy]

She looks very soft and cuddly!
