Uh oh. Did you measure once and cut twice?
I can’t see her face in the first picture. Is she working, or napping?

[davidd]

Uh oh. Did you measure once and cut twice?

It's kind of complicated to ex-plain, but things should go more smoothly now.

Getting quite a little army there indeed, aren't you. How do the Minnees compare?

How do the Minnees compare?

Good question!

Zuru Starbox MINNEE M.005

[Alliecat]

Wow! I’m just having so much trouble getting my brain around how small they are!

[davidd]

Wow! I’m just having so much trouble getting my brain around how small they are!

The Zuru Starbox Minnees? Yeah, they're pretty impressive for their tiny size. I'd recommend taking a risk with one or two at least. You can kind of judge the weights by hand in the store. Maybe get two that feel different.

Wow, didn’t realize you had that many already! They could almost take on the mini Pullip army here in… some sort of sport that requires a team of 20some

[davidd]

Wow, didn’t realize you had that many already! 

I didn't, either. 
I'm thinking a purge is in order.

I am well behind in current Star Wars stuff. I may or may not have heard of "force witches"...? I think that was a thing before Disney though.
Is "German party leader" some sort of PC marketing label...?

Just a few more and your minis will outnumber mine

[davidd]

Is "German party leader" some sort of PC marketing label...?

Yes, the parent company, called DiD (Dragon in Dreams), which has produced detailed miniature military figures for years, was being filtered and censored for producing WWII German figures. They chose to spin off their German figures in to a separate company, called 3R   and they have to tread carefully around historical names and political party names, as well as censoring some of the imagery they use in the figures, or else they find themselves banned from some retail sites.

Zuru Starbox MINNEE Doll No. 004 Retro Roller

242 grams complete in package, for those who are keeping track.

[Alliecat]

Cute!
It's a cute name but also kind of an unfortunate choice, because as I've been searching for them here & there, I find the search algorithms just can't cope. On eBay or Amazon for example you'll get a fazillion results for "Minnie" and a ton of Minnie Mouse stuff. Even after you put the name in quotes. Thanks for assuming I can't spell, AI bots

On eBay or Amazon for example you'll get a fazillion results for "Minnie" and a ton of Minnie Mouse stuff.  Even after you put the name in quotes. 

That is an increasingly frustrating aspect of eBay and Amazon. The algorithms push what they want us to see and refuse to show us what we are searching for. Welcome to the Brave New World of AI-enhanced everything!

5 November 2026:

Inspired by TrueFan's recent post on The Dal House Forum about the 1/12-scale Mushroom Mycelium Naming Series mini BJD figures, I ended up looking around online and this happened:

Doomsday Prologue Series 1/12-scale BJD figure

But as I look at the KikaGoods and Calembou sites again, I'm second-guessing myself. I mean, why did I choose Doomsday Prologue rather than:

Forgotten City Series
Don't Touch My Bangs Series
Ten Thousand Escape Plans Series
Spinning Radio Wave Series
Museum of the Weird Series

Out of all of these, the Spinning Radio Wave Series is probably the most visually intriguing to me from a character design perspective. But they all have outstanding names!

[Alliecat]

They certainly are some interesting names. I looked them up; some are kind of cute.

Doll House Crud

.

A few useful items and a lot of junk that I have accumulated for my doll house and diorama projects.

I have boxes of random junk like this scattered all over my storage shed and house. I need to start sorting it, and probably discard about 80% of it.

I have a compulsive obsession with cardboard tubes. I have a really hard time letting them go.

[Alliecat]

I see a little old-fashioned doily? There are a bunch of those around here. My grandmother or possibly great grandmother made a lot of such things. They are too pretty to toss, but what does one do with them?
