Ways to Waste Time

There's a fun website called Entertainment Earth that sells action figures and other collectibles. You can spend lots of your free time (it won't be free if you start spending) browsing at their offerings. Here are a few cool items I saw tonight.

Doctor Who Eleven Doctors Minifigure Tardis Box Set

Google Android Phone Mascot Mini Figures Series 2 Case

Seriously creepy:

Living Dead Dolls Thirteenth Anniversary Series Set

Dexter Dark Defender 3 3/4 inch Comic-Con Exclusive Figure

These are so cute and I'll bet they're very addicitve:

Kubrick Bearbrick Series 22 Mini-Figures

Oh yes, they sell dolls, too...mostly Barbie, Pullip, Monster High, Tonner, Franklin Mint, Anime and Manga Statues, Bobble Heads, Star Trek merchandise, novelty items, plush, Disney and lots more.

Look at this adorable Pullip Dal Steampunk Ra Muw Doll. She is the cutest Pullip I've seen in a long time. Of course I want her - or maybe just her outfit.

Eshe and Grace

They said I couldn't wait until I had more time so here are my new Jamieshow dolls, Eshe and Grace. Point and Shoot pictures are so pointy and shooty. The dolls are gorgeous and I can foresee plenty of photo spam coming.

JAMIEshow St. Tropez Basic Eshe

2011 IFDC Exclusive JAMIEshow Grace

They are 16" resin ball jointed dolls with removable head caps. These head caps are rooted. They also come with bald head caps. See JAMIEshow doll lines at Angelic Dreamz.

Bats in Their Belfry

It's a cute doll but $75. for a vinyl Barbie?

"No trick here... Halloween Haunt Barbie doll is a treat to behold! The perfect hostess, she's dressed for the occasion in a festive holiday outfit of orange, appropriately adorned with black cats and stars. She adds a wide waist-cinching belt with gold buckle, a black and gold choker, and basic black pumps accented with orange pompoms. Her black witch hat sits atop short auburn hair, and her vintage face sculpt features delightfully dark plum lips. A must-have holiday decoration for any Barbie doll devotee! "

Nude Barbie Basics Photo

For anyone curious about the articulation of the new Basics dolls, here are two pictures. The finish on the vinyl is pretty crappy but they're not going to be used as nekkid models so I don't care. It is true that the doll cannot put her hand on her hip. I still think that this is a 100% improvement over the stiff model body being used on the dolls and I hope to see the unarticulated body banished to never-never land where it belongs. Then...maybe Silkstones will one day get articulation. I doubt it. As long as people are willing to pay upwards of $175. for an unarticulated Silkie, why should Mattel do anything to change them?

Then she got dressed again.

The other thing I'd like to see banished is glitter. Glitter is the scourge of craft supplies. Make it go away.
