Werepuppy's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020

[werepuppy]

While I don't have one fav release of Raven, I do agree that Dragon Games was the peak of the whole line. I remember how excited the whole MH Arena was when DG pics leaked. I was oogling them every day, and couldn't wait for them to come out. They only appeared at a very few stores here, and I had to buy Holly and Raven from Germany, but boy, was it woth it!

I miss those times. I do get excited about new Azones or BJDs, but I miss being part of a big and very happy crowd looking forward to a certain release. Nowadays, I can share excitement over a particular upcoming doll with only a few people. It's not bad, and I consider 2019 to be the best year in my collecting, and 2020 is going great as well (dolly-wise. I wish real life stopped getting in way), but I miss this kind of mass excitement, the wave of joy the new line creates among people.

Ugh, sorry, I got way more nostalgic than I planned to...

I think it's easier now, looking back to pick a favourite release of a particular character. I don't remember the hype of the line but I remember seeing them and being very excited and having to pick up Raven so quickly. I also miss the maas excitement of a new release and wish it was back in some way...

Love that ready-for-action stance! And "sheer cool" is the word for the Dragon Games line! What I find interesting about the designs is how well they integrate elements of "princess gowns" with battle armor to create a look that is actually quite "tough" with touches of "pretty."

And yeah, everything that neon_jellyfish said about the "mass excitement" that happens with mainstream playline dolls when super-cool new things are... or were... released. The fun is more accessible with mass market lines than it is with specialty figures, both because of the wider availability and the more accessible price point.

(This is such a cute and cool pic; now I'm wondering if I should give my Raven her outfit back; one of the Monster High ghouls "borrowed" it.)

They really did mix the styles well and it makes the line stands out so well. 

(Ooh yes? Would be nice!)

Have to agree with the Dragon Games line was the peak of EAH - beautiful & practical at the same time.

I wish that they’d made some of the other dolls from the cartoon as well - they had some great outfits too.

Ooh yeah there's a few characters from the cartoon I wish got a full release - Sparrow Hood being the big one.

She is cool, and these might be tempting if I was looking for another line of dolls to collect...

It's so easy to feel tempted...
