Back at it again. Like last year, I'll track my wishlist, incoming, and out-going in this post. Here's to a great year, guys!

1. A is for Addams
A family, a clan, and ever growing in the Room. Part of my plans for this year is to attempt to get hold of the Mattel Addams Family giftset, at a reasonable price. Reasonable because I'm unsure as to whether or not I would debox them. Ah well.

They are becoming quite an imposing force in The Room. Wednesday alone was intimidating enough, but now... wow!
Looks like we are in for an entertaining year of plotting and intrigue.

As I said, I would love to get hold of Morticia and Gomez, because I think they would be a calming influence. Well, as much as they can be, all things considered... Beyond that, well, I was gifted the art book of the animated Addams Family film and it mentions quite a few family members, as well as the ones I've created... Basically, I will always have ideas in regards to this family.

I'm sitting making plans for what the ADAD this year will involve. I'm sure my variedness will make itself known!

Honestly, my doll wishlist is usually maybe one or two things I think it's possible for me to get, and then me just going wild with what I would get if money were no object. Maybe I should re-name it daydream list? LOL. Hope the new year sees you well!

2. B is for BMR1959
Part of the new Mattel collector's line that apparently focuses on a new fashion trend. Honestly, I just thought they looked ridiculously 90s and it made me want them, lol.
I've called them Billie and Kira, respectively. Billie is a professional cyclist, and Kira is an arts student.

The braids on Billie look fantastic.
And the clothes are terrible in their garish-mis-matchedness, but they look great on them both. So weird when that happens.

Yes, very 90’s and sadly that is now retro.

Whatever this "new fashion trend" is, I certainly couldn't get away with it!

Yes! And the cost of these dolls (with full outfits) is only £3 more than the cost of your standards MTM in the UK. Even the males of the line have MTM bodies, so it's very much a case of 'want them all'. (Except the blonde girl, but that's more me looking at her outfit and going nope.) Billie's braids are amazing - there is a Fashionista this year with those braids, but I was so happy to find this version because articulation!

I will need to get Billie a decent looking bike. I don't think there any many racing bikes in 1:6 scale...

The whole line is very colourful, but it makes it very cheery to look at them.

I am really impressed by the braids. Also, you're very right regarding the clothing. It works on dolls more than it does anything else.

... And that, in itself, is very weird to think.

I really doubt I could either. But if polo dresses are going to be a thing again, well that could be sort of cool. Maybe, IDK. I like the idea of over-sized demin jackets again.

3. C is for Captain
Captain America and Captain Marvel. Did you know that according to the comics, technically speaking, Carol is higher in rank than Steve? Fun facts.

Captains not being the same rank is funny. But then again, those are just noms de plume, not actual ranks, right?
Are you going to circle through the alphabet the whole year? It's an interesting idea!
