I believe the password is "these are my books, you can't stop me"

I've got a couple more shelf shots to come, I wonder how many others we've got in common. It's always fun to see

Thank you! These ones are proving a lot better than ones I've gotten before - we're thinking of going back to the store to see if there's another set since they're proving that much better in my room.
Oh, the figure behind Diana is a Funko Mystery Mini Sailor Saturn. I find that the Mystery Mini lines tend to have a lot more detail to them than the POP Vinyl lines, so I like them a bit more. Sailor Saturn is my favourite of the girls from Sailor Moon and I was delighted to find her.

224. Group Shot: Cats Customs
![[Image: 58535544_7d5a5c4cfd09373c861eeadab93c43ff_standard.jpg]](http://www.23hq.com/23666/58535544_7d5a5c4cfd09373c861eeadab93c43ff_standard.jpg)
As of 12th August 2019
From left to right we have: Grizabella (the Glamour Cat), Etcetera, (Magical Miss) Mistoffelees, & the Rum Tum Tugger.
Made from Lanard Kitties heads and Monster High bodies. Ideally, when I've bought some more fabric in, I will make a tux type thing for Misto. I might need to downy dunk her hair but as it stands at the moment? I'm pretty happy with all four of them. Got maybe one or two more I'd like to make, but I need to find the right bodies for them.

Oh! Wow! I was going to go all über-squee and stuff about how I didn't know you had a collection of Catwalk Kitties dolls, but then your caption reminded me that you recently purchased a bag of cat heads on eBay!
It worked out very well to put the Catwalk Kitties heads on the MH bodies. Didn't want to sacrifice a Toralei to get a true match for the orange head, huh? Good call.
An advantage of making your own custom Catwalk Kitties this way is that they will be more in scale with your existing collections. The originals were somewhat taller than the standard 1:6 scale playline figures. And they had tails.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!

Nice hybrids there, which are the other characters you are thinking of creating?

I'm hoping to find a Toralei on the cheap - either through eBay or charity shops - to give Tugger a better matching body.
I would like to try to find one of the actual Catwalk Kitties - the ones appearing on eBay at the moment are just ... they feel a bit overpriced?

I have a head that would make a perfect Munkustrap, so I think I'll need to try to find a Purrsephone body for that one. I would also like to try to make some stage inspired outfits - definitely a little suit for Mistoffelees at least. It's at this time I really wished I had an extra Zomby Gaga - her suit would be perfect.

Ademetus and Freya are siblings, basically. Also got Ademetus sitting still long enough to take the picture - he's a energetic little one!

They really are. The nano Hujoos are just too cute for their own good.

Blue one is Smartie, grey and black is Mish Mash and the little Steiff is Tiny Bear.
Tiny Bear demands all the hugs.

Oh! Today's your birthday, isn't it! Happy Birthday, Z!
Mish Mash looks like a bear who might actually eat people... unless he gets enough cake. I hope you will have enough birthday cake to satisfy him.
An actual Steiff! That's the stuff!

Aw, Mish Mash doesn't look like he'd eat people... he looks a bit bemused to me, or like he's not entirely sure he wants his picture taken with this group, but will put up with it for your sake.
Happy birthday!
