davidd’s A DOLL A DAY 2021

[davidd]

That reminds me somewhat of our girls encountering a beware of crocodiles sign up in Far North Queensland.

Have you ever seen crocs in the wild, not in a zoo?

... alligators and crocodiles are among the animals I'm happy we don't have around here.

I spotted an alligator in the wild, not in a zoo or a pen, a bit later at another stop. I’ve wanted to see a live wild alligator since I was a little kid, so that was kind of a thrill! I did not venture close enough to get a doll picture.

14 January ~ The Thrill of the Hunt Continues

To my surprise, I discovered a New Old Stock Monster High Gloom Beach Clawdeen Wolf doll on a toy shelf in a drug store in rural southeast Texas today! They had this single Gloom Beach [2011 release) and one of the budget “reboot” dolls.

Gloom Beach was the second line of MH figures to be released. The rollout was slow and inconsistent. I remember those days of spending hours driving to different stores over a period of many weeks, searching for the elusive new line. I should have been patient and waited... for ten years!
