Millie's New Friend and More Shasarignis' Fashions

Millie (BMR1959 GHT92) wants to introduce her new friend, Max. Max is a German Shepherd.

 

 

"Isn't he beautiful?"

 

"I think he's a superior dog."

"So good-natured ...."

Jade (KMart Just Dollz Jade Princess) and Sheeda (BMR1959 GHT91) pause during their Shasarignis photo shoot to meet Max. They are curious, but they want to protect their pretty dresses.

Jade wonders if there is a way they could incorporate Max into the photo shoot.

Max is a Hibon German Shepherd dog for 1:6 scale action figures. Max is not his official name. When he arrived, Millie and I decided he would be named "Max" after the Bionic Woman's dog. Millie's favorite scene of "The Bionic Woman" was when Jaime, the Bionic Woman, ordered her German Shepherd dog to "look out." The director actually showed the dog peering around the corner as if he were following her instructions. Seriously? Oh yeah. Granted, I'm biased towards cats, so maybe … maybe you can instruct dogs like that? Any dog connoisseur's want to comment?

Two Just Girlz Just for the Fun of It

Two fashion dolls from the Just Girlz line by Sears Holding Corporation. There were other dolls available, but these were the two I chose. See a resemblance to any Integrity Divas?

Michael Jackson Next to Barbie Basics in Kmart

Okay, Playmates has a new Michael Jackson Thriller doll - well, he's in the doll section, but really, he's more of a figurine. Yes, figurine, NOT figure. Figures are poseable and kin to dolls. Figurines belong with sculpture. My reasoning is if the figure has clothes molded on AND the body is set in an odd pose, it's a figurine. Not a doll. Not even an action figure. But some people use "doll" for sculpted human figures of any sort. Sigh.

So I thought, what if other collectors read about a Playmates/International MJ doll and think, Barbie beau. Well, as you can see, he's 10" and NOT 12" so he's dwarfed by the taller Barbies. Not that Barbie and friends can't date shorter guys. Then he's in a dance pose that won't have much range in non-video stories. At least, if a guy with that leer and that stance - approached me, well, cowardly me, I would run. Maybe shriek. Help. Or position myself in a defense pose.

That isn't criticism of the figure which I confess, I didn't stare at long enough to form a collector's opinion. More about the placement of the item. (What's a figurine doing in the doll section?)

There will be additional Michael Jackson figurines though. The Billie Jean one has a more doll/action figure stance. So Michael sculpture fans can have another choice.

Found at Clifton Heights Kmart - Mattel Twilight, Odd Doll

Earlier today, I entered the Clifton Heights Kmart on Baltimore Pike for the first time. They had Twilight Barbie and Ken available. I also saw an odd doll, a porcelain child doll who looked as if she could almost fit Barbie-scale.

Here are the photos:

Twilight (Yawn) Barbie as Bella




Twilight Ken as Edward



He has an interesting face. Looks as if his nose were smashed and his head elongated. Striking rather than handsome.


Porcelain Drummer Doll



Kmart shoppers, you might want to find this porcelain doll with a gold drum set. She was in the Clearance section for $7.00.

My Scene Hollywood Bling Dolls Seen at Kmart

Thursday afternoon, I stopped by the Center City Kmart on my way home and saw this series of My Scene dolls, Hollywood Bling:



so I photographed them to present here. The Hollywood Bling dolls are one of the 2009 My Scene waves (series of a fashion doll set). Fans of this line should look for these dolls now.
