davidd’s A DOLL A DAY 2022

[Elfy]

And the girls keep working in the midst of an alien invasion. That's dedication.

That made me giggle

Thank you! I’ll be here all week.

Hope she’s not doing her walkabout anywhere there are biting flies 

Nope, she's not going to Canada!

16 May - Monster High Packaging Inserts

[Alliecat]

Cute, are you supposed to set them up in a scene with a backdrop or something?

Ugh, no kidding. The very first day it's really warm, the blackflies arrive. I am bugbit already, despite the mesh shirt.

[Elfy]

I’ve never seen those inserts before. They’re cool.

In the early years of Monster High (2010, 2011, 2012) Mattel was extremely creative at producing elaborate packaging with the dolls and accessories. The "paper doll" figures seen here were part of the packaging for the first Monster High accessory clothing set to be offered, a "School Spirit Scream Team" (cheerleader costumes) set. The clothing items were displayed on these cardboard figures inside the packaging. The packaging was actually nicer than the little bits of fabric and plastic that were the actual "product." The seated figure was part of the Draculaura Sweet 1600 Roadster car packaging.

I’ve never seen those inserts before. They’re cool.

More cool than the products they were the packaging for!     I don't know what I've done with the Scream Team uniforms, but I still have these cardboard inserts.

17 May - Lot o' Monsters

.


I wonder if Mattel's re-issue of Monster High dolls this month will suppress the value of older dolls on the secondary market, or spur increased interest? Let's find out!

[Alliecat]

Wow! Someone's really housecleaning. That's a big lot, and it looks like they spurred some interest.

[Elfy]

How many MH’s did neon have?

[davidd]

That's a big lot, and it looks like they spurred some interest.

Yeah, some interest, including a "sob story" from somebody who wanted me to cancel the current bids and sell the lot to them "because I loved Monster High when I was a little girl, but when I left home my dad burned all my dolls..." blah blah blah.

How many MH’s did neon have?

Dunno. You could ask her. She's still active as a "lurker" and "liker" on Instagram.

18 May - Army Guy On Watch

[Alliecat]

Please can I hire Army Guy?, I need some guards around here thanks to the neighbourhood going to hell.

Wow, seems like you get some fun "bidders"... I'm glad I haven't had to deal with that on the few times I've sold things.

Yeah, I agree, you need somebody who knows how to use flame-throwers and bazookas and stuff.

19 May - Army Guys Find an Abandoned Bunker

[Alliecat]

I'm looking at a small picture on the screen, but from both their ex-pressions my first thought was that the Army Guys also found some alcohol in that bunker

That would make the picture a whole lot more fun. Wish I'd set it up that way.

[davidd]

I agree with Elfy.

I'll be posting here for now.

Yay!!
What are the smart dolls building now? Another cabin? As usual, it looks like they are really doing the work. Also as usual, cool lighting in the “dungeon” shots.
I have to LOL at the “battle bikini”. Unfortunately it looks like the shoulder holster would chafe if you wore it with the bikini, so what are you supposed to take into battle?
