Superdoll Collectables' Black Friday Event

I don't know what time they put up their sales items but I know we were on the New Jersey Turnpike when I ordered what I wanted. No, I was not the driver.

Nothing can stop a doll collector - neither a moving car nor sun in her eyes!

Back to reality, in addition to giving 50% off on all items which have languished on their site for a year or more, three new adorable 50's style dress sets debuted at reasonable prices.

I wanted all three so I decided to get none of them. How's that for a reasonable decision?

A new style of shoe is offered with each of the above:

As of right now, they are all still there.

What's a Glitter Tit?

A Special Opportunity to (possibly, if you're lucky,) Spend Money

This is an opportunity for members of the W Club to enter a lottery to buy a (really adorable) gift set featuring Poppy Parker in airline attire. Airline stewardesses have been a very popular theme for dolls for a long time and Buttry has created a super collectible duo of fashions for his Poppy.

Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll Gift Set

The Model Scene Collection

LE 800  Price: $150 

The contents of the set are one doll, two outfits, boots, shoes, earrings, wings pin, hat box.

 Who remembers the Monsieur Z dolls of 2005? I thought about them the minute I saw the gift set. I still have Fly Girl's serving tray with the carafe and cups.

Perry Marino Sculpt Rises from the Dead - Again

Yes vampire loving doll collectors, Perry Marino, whose sculpt began life (or death) in 2011 as The Count Dracula is back again in the Jem line - sans fangs.

 
Here he is in his second incarnation, well-dressed and pained looking. Perhaps he's hungry.

 
Eric Raymond™
Jem and The Holograms Collection
LE500 (They must think he'll sell out.) ETA: Approximately the First Week of December 2015

Special Holiday Pricing: $130.00 US + Shipping, Handling and Tax

I love the background in the photo on the left! However, no matter how good a photo is, no matter how many times you change the name and the clothes, you can't take the ugly out of the sculpt. Time to bury him for good.

 
Having misssed posting this guy, one of my alert readers sent me this photo of "Backstage Ambition," another seriously unpleasant example of Perry Marino.
Good Grief.
