davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023

Its nice to see some proper pictures of the Bratz minis, they are really hard to see in the promo pictures.
Alliecat, sorry about your shitty neighbours, mine are constantly having domestics so I know the struggle!

The different scaled dolls makes for an interesting picture. The one at the front males me think of willow from buffy and the one at the back's hands are huge!

I've been having the "relatively huge hands" discussion with other forum members regarding these female action figures. It tends to be a common issue with figures of this type.

I thought they looked quite big too but wasn't going to say anything about female figures with big hands AGAIN
In today's pic she looks like she's going to do a ventriloquism act.

I do remember the discussion. Once you see the big hands you can't unsee them but they are more prominent against the smaller figures. Those are some abs on the vampire doll. Army girl has a kinder face in this one!

Now I want a miniature Charlie McCarthy figure! That would be hilariously fun!

Ha ha, well it looks like there are plenty of dolls, but probably not any quite miniature enough.

Oh the little Knight lady is very appealing! I have often thought about the accommodation of the female form when ot comes to armour. I imagine it would be quite uncomfortable.

[Insert rant about the ridiculous outfits that such female characters often end up in.]

This doll has completely different facial expressions depending which direction you photograph her in.

Isn’t it cool how lighting and angles can appear to change their expressions! I’ve noticed that with my dolls as well.

Yes, a little head tilt or twist of the head relative to the shoulders can seem to make a difference. Lighting further enhances the effect. I used to work almost exclusively with static little Pinky Street 10cm figures, yet it seemed like even those little dollies could be expressive.

Then there's Nelly, my Smart Doll Kanata. It could be lighting, it could be posing, but I'm almost convinced that she's "haunted" and actually changes her expression.

Perhaps at the door to the bar/pub/club where davidd's crew hangs out.

"Just put the gome on the sundial out in the back yard."

Merry Christmas!

I'm always amused to see how many people have those little packages. I'd never seen them, that I recall, till I got some from another collector.
Mele Kalikimaka!

My mum had them for the tree, we always got in trouble for trying to open them.

At least it was in a jar.

Indeed, coal is useful, but this… I don’t want to know.

I think with the rising cost of fossil fuel, a lump of coal is really an investment for the future! I don't really want to know about the mucus either!
