Werepuppy's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020

[werepuppy]

He's cute! I still hope he'll survive that Room arc without any injuries.

Here's waiting to see what happens... I have ideas but you know me, I can change my idea if I think of something funnier. Though ... Vicious somehow being unscathed despite being around the Addamses is actually hilarious...?

I am making my way through your room thread, really enjoying all the different characters that pop in, and how just one photo can really tell the story! Looking forward to seeing V pop up 

I am glad the Room is amusing you. We run generally on Rule of Funny - if it makes me laugh, it'll happen. V - or rather, Vicious as his character name is - shall pop up soon enough! 

That is a snazzy jacket!

It is, isn't it? It made me think of 70s fashions for some reason, and I'm not really sure why. 

Ophelia always gets ideas....

But this dandy fellow seems like he would be right up her alley... so to speak.

Ophelia is the true romantic of the family, of course there's ideas. 

Vicious might just fit the mold she's looking for. 

Agree on the snazzy jacket.  The pink & blond hair is kind a fun too.
I keep hearing about the Discworld series but have never read any of them.

I did like the pink and blond hair. Honestly when I first picked him up, I thought he might make a good friend for my lolita girl Momoko, but he's somehow gravitated towards Ophelia instead.

Okay, I think you would enjoy the Tiffany Aching books at a start point: The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, and I Shall Wear Midnight. They also include the Shephard's Crown but that's the last ever Discworld books and ends character things that were set up years ago so definitely one it's better to go back and read when you've read more Witch books. 

I dig V's look! Normally I'd say that jacket is too much, especially with that hair, but he manages to wear them fabulously!
I have very close to zero interest in boy dolls (and BTS), but I keep on coming across these, they seem to have some really cool fashion and shoes, and I'd definitely pick some up on a sale (on an international one. Here only the ones in suits are available, and they are all priced at ~$50. I doubt that can go down enough for me to be interested) or on the secondary market.

It's a mix of between garish and snazzy and I personally think it veers into snazzy a bit more than garish. 

See, this is the thing: I still have no interest in this band. I'm sure they make very lovely music, but idol bands aren't really my thing. That being said? If you can find the dolls cheap, they are worth the cost. If you get them cheap - there is a deluxe line with higher quality fabrics used in the clothing but even that I would say would be a get cheap thing. They are interesting if you are looking for a boy doll that isn't Ken, or a Disney male character that has at least elbow and knee articulation. 

He is snazzy.  I only know about him via some type of internet osmosis - I know about them. And I’ve seen their dolls in the local pop culture book shop.  But not much else about the,.

I couldn't tell you a single one of their songs, but I know who they are. Internet osmosis is fun like that.

I keep hearing about the Discworld series but have never read any of them.

You have to read at least one, Allie. My personal favourite is Mort, but Lejays prefers Night Watch, and that may be more accessible. While they are technically a series they’re all self contained, so can be ready pretty much in any order. You may like the Tiffany Aching books and that starts with Wee Free Men. Werepuppy would know all about the Nac Mac Feegle I am sure.

Hm, I'd say Night Watch is a good book to start with - it was my first Discworld book - but it does help to know what's happening in the Guards books befpre hand to get why this is important to Sam Vimes as a character. I did rec the Tiffany Aching books as a good start point! Nac Mac Feegle are basically violent Scottish Smurfs. And they are fantastic.

217. W is for Woody



You get two bears for the price of one today! These are both a bear called Woody. The bigger version is the original release of him from 2008. He's 20" and quite a weight to carry but it makes him perfect for sitting and cuddling with. The smaller one - Anniversary Woody - came out in 2015 for the 10th anniversary of Charlie Bears. Little Woody is 12" tall. Both have the same colour scheme and the same giggler mouth - that's what they call bears with the open mouths - and both were designed by Isabelle Lee. Big Woody is absolutely one of my favourite bears of my collection.
