Superdoll's Halloween "Monarch"

All photos and text are directly from Superdoll Collectable's website.

MONARCH DD_116

The Howling wolves could not keep her contained as Venus slipped from the darkness into the midnight forest.

It's a very eerie night tonight, and this glamour hybrid is off Trick & Treat. (mostly tricking we're sure!) in a foggy forest of London.

GENX.2 body!
Cosmetique skintone!
Venus platinum nape bun, bangs and pappilon bunches hair gives her a silhouette for flight, while her red and black eyebrows and her spiral eyes highlighted in white and shaded in grey give a hypnotic stare. Lips of scarlet outlined in black.
Her silk satin gown of black and red bears overlay of fine tulle printed in latex as are her attached 'wings' which drag or flutter. Her gown silhouette is of sharp jagged neckline and boufant peplum in black with a slinky sinuous red evolving train.

Red jagged edge gloss shoes complete her haunting look.
TRICK OR TREAT?!?

Clone: 1000 Venus d'Royce

Of course she comes with the following standard accessories:
-manic_cure hands (see booklet for hand change instructions)
-booklet
-stand

ACTUAL PRODUCTION SHOWN
In stock and ready to be delivered

Price: £318.94 (Excluding VAT at 20%)



She looks pretty amazing. I like the unusual Sybs (unless they have black rings around their eyes.) The wig is delightful.

£318.94 British Pound equals $389.36 US Dollar. Postage to the US is usually about $60.

Halloween With Viola and Savile

I am so glad that my Kingdom Doll ladies can wear so many other doll's clothing. With the Tonner (Tyler) sized stuff, I do have to pin the backs. With this particular Gene gown, the fit was perfect - just slightly shorter than I would have liked but no one else would see that.

In these photos, Viola is wearing Tonner's Wicked Witch outfit minus the cape. I have her in Morgana's wig.



Savile is wearing an Ashton Drake for Gene black and silver lace gown. It's so perfect.


The neckpiece is from Joy Jarred. It's very strange and I love it.

Here they are side by side.


Savile, again.

The Best Halloween Diorama EVER!

Johanna in MD does it again. This collector is the embodiment of believing in the power of play. Her creativity and involvement with her dolls and their settings blows me away.

Just a few days ago she posted a picture of her diner with a new addition.


Today she posted pictures of the diner in Halloween mode. The details are beyond belief. Take some time to examine everything. You will be amazed.






All of the original photos are on Prego.

Haunted Beauty Mistress of the Manor™ Barbie® Doll

With hair that oddly resembles that of Cruella DeVille, Mattel releases another half-stiff $100. doll. This one has posable arms and hands. That's a start.
There are many collectors who do Halloween displays and she will be perfect for that.

Carrying her “candelabra” and manor keys, Haunted Beauty Mistress of the Manor Barbie doll greets guests wearing a plum jacket featuring a dramatic bustle and a long, sweeping skirt. A wide swath of white runs through her black hair, which is pulled back into a bun. Earrings, a cameo brooch and Victorian-style boots are her elegant accessories, along with her Life in the Scream House “book.


At least she's not smiling.

I think she's the most glamorous Fugu yet. Her eyes, the color of her lips, the wig all contribute to a smoldering, sexy look. As far as the bite marks...the jury is out on that for now. It's better than fangs in any event.

How much is £397.00 you ask?
USD $636.73 or Euro 467.67

And then there's shipping, of course.

Picture of the Day by Patty in Hawaii

The boards are awash with Halloween themed photos this week. This one from Patty in Hawaii is quite unusual. How did she get Phoenix Gene into the arms of Dracula?
Gene doesn't look too concerned.

SALE at Two Daydreamers

There are a few items that are really well-priced at Two Daydreamers. Click on the name of the doll to go to the page and see the picture and details.


Madame Alexander's 21" Lust Cissy   Regular price: $349.95Sale price: $184.95 


I won't bore you with the 10" Cissettes that are also on sale but there is a nice selection available. 


Tonner's 17.5" Heart Stopper Regular price: $209.99Sale price: $144.99
I like him but I think he'd scare my smaller dolls.
Tonner's 16" Noir #99 Regular price: $249.99 Sale price: $149.99
Don't ask me why I paid almost full retail price.
 Tonner's 16" Ferse  Regular price: $199.99 Sale price: $129.99


There are quite a few dolls available from the last Tonner Convention and the subsequent Halloween Convention. This is the time to get them!

Two Daydreamers has a Clearance Tab filled with goodies and I like browsing there. Just remember - check eBay and other sources before buying because you will find wildly varying prices
Unfortunately, the 21" 85th Anniversary Cissy will never be reduced to a price I am willing to pay.  Original retail price was $1,699.95. "Sale" price $749.99. Ridiculous. I'd rather spend it on a new Sybarite.

Happy Halloween, You Zombies

 Evangeline loves the moonlight.


Queen of Hearts 2010 Tonner Convention rides in on a horse wearing an Afro wig. She, on the other hand, is wearing nothing.


If this thing rings your doorbell, hide. He's not as cute as he looks.


The studio crew wishes all a Happy Halloween.

Seen on The Studio Commissary

This wonderful and not too scary Halloween themed photograph was posted by Ernesto Padro Campos on The Studio Commissary.
Ernesto's caption reads, "All About the Eyes" Gene Marshall wears Retros' magnificent witch garb. Little neighbors also wear Retros' costumes.

One of the things I love about Ernesto's photography is his use of props. They're always relevant and interesting but never distracting. The viewer focuses on the main subject and then realizes there's more going on. He is a master doll photographer!

Halloween Themed Dolls

Halloween is a favorite celebration among doll collectors. We are lovers of fantasy and dressing up where it concerns our dolls and that's what Halloween is all about. Let's not forget the candy aspect! Back in the dark ages when I was a child Halloween was about pumpkin carving and trick or treating. It now rivals Christmas where it concerns retail stores' merchandise. You can light the exterior of your home with themed electronic goods. Frankenstein et al can stalk your property which might be transformed into a cemetary. A visitor to your door might be greeted by howls and all sorts of horrible sounds which they activated just by being there.
The most gruesome animated scene I came upon was half a human body being eaten by rats. Then there are the dead babies on swings you can hang on your porch. Fun?

For those of us who do not wish to go that far...we can surround ourselves with theme dolls and there are many out there. Prices vary widely for Madame Alexander dolls. As always, I recommend shopping and comparing thoroughly before plunking down your cash! Check the tax and shipping as well because that can make a big difference.

Madame Alexander makes my favorite 10" Cissettes in a variety of costumes. There are prior year dolls which you can hunt down. These are currently available. 

The Wicked Witch of the West
Halloween Dorothy and Toto
Pumpkin Spice

Witchcraft

Wicked Witch of East
Although not intended to be Halloween doll, these 21" Cissys are scary-looking enough to hold their own in a themed display.
A Beautiful Nightmare

A Dark Dream
For the Barbie crowd:
Bewitched
Halloween Party
Halloween Haunt
There are so many more that I can't begin to picture them here. Do a search on Google for "Dolls for Halloween" and see what comes up.

Comic Relief

This week the theme on the Studio Commissary Board has been Props.  I was admiring the beautiful room that Wayne in Florida posted.



I thought his next photo was another view of the same room until I looked a little harder at the details.


Halloween is rapidly approaching!

Visit the Studio Commissary.
