Siblings!

Hey Gang!

Jacob is enjoying his stay at the reservation.

Loraine sees her brother sitting in the little copse. 

She walks over to him, sitting on the bench.

Loraine: Hey, enjoying the day?

Jacob: Yeah, it is really lovely here. I can see why you love it here.

Loraine: I really do!

Jacob: And Edward... he treats you well?

Loraine: He loves me! He says so all the time, and I feel it!

Jacob: And children?

Loraine: I'm hopeful, and I'm building a family. Fawn was 3 days old when we got her. America was about my age when I found you. Two Feathers and Dancing Brook came just last month. We are still looking for their older sister and aunt.

Are you thinking about staying? I hope you will stay!

Jacob: What would I do here?

Loraine: Whatever you want. What do you like to do? You have a well of talents!

Jacob thinks his sister has always believed in him, even when he didn't believe in himself.

He realized how much he missed her and her support.

Jacob: I want to do something outdoors. I'm not a desk jockey. 

Loraine: I know that about you! When would you like to leave to collect your belongings?

Jacob: I don't have many things.  Most of my stuff is packed. I'm not accustomed to being around so many people all the time, as is the case here. I might sleep in my tent.

Loraine laughs.  You still have that old tent?

He tries to stop her from laughing, 

Jacob: No, I bought a new one for when we would take groups and camp outdoors.  

Is there anyone doing camping excursions here? That is something I would be good at!

I don't think there is! I'll ask Edward. He knows everyone.  He would know if someone is doing it.

Are you going to try to stay? He would know who you need to talk to. Being the Chief, he has connections!

Jacob: OK! I'll give it a try. His sister hugs him.  He didn't realize until then how important his 

presence was to her. I guess my sister needs me.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Something Wicked This Way Comes!

 Hey Gang!

I told you I would follow up with a review on the Fiyero doll, and I will. I will also be sharing my Wicked For The Good Wizard doll.

Let's start with the promo shots!

I purchased Fiyero from Target for $24.99.

He has a great face. Very masculine.

Great details were painted on the jacket and pants. He has a messenger's bag.

Blue boots and a book.

Out of the box!

I am generally not one for painted-on details, but it really works for these dolls.

The back of the box.

Close-up! This is a good likeness of Jonathan Bailey.

The jacket. These details make the outfit work well as separates. I could picture the jacket 

paired with jeans

Jacket and pants from the front and side.

The jacket and pants from the back.

Boots, a book, and a bag.

Warning: Nude doll!

For me, the most important thing is the body! Let's take a look at it.

Besides the standard articulation, he has articulated elbows, hands, and knees.

The front

The back

Comparing the body to the MTM male and the Cheerleader male body to the Wicked male body.. The MTM doll is approximately the same height but less articulated than the Wicked male. There is no ankle or chest articulation with the Wicked male. The Wicked Male is slightly shorter than the Cheerlead body and lacks ankle articulation.

The feet for the Wicked male are similar to those of a Ken doll, so they can wear the same shoes.

The Wizard

The Promo shots!

I purchased the Wizard at Walmart.com for $27.99. I had to be persistent to get him.  If you search for him on the Walmart site, it will say he is out of stock. He sells out quickly, and even if you put him on your list, he will likely be sold out before you have a chance to be notified. My suggestion is to search daily, doing a new search each time you check.

He has a fabulous outfit. If the details of the costumes in the movie are as lovely as those of the doll, I can see why the costume designer won awards.

This is a nice-looking mature male. 

Like I said, I am not a fan of painted-on details, but they work well with these dolls.

It continues with the color and the detail on his robe.

Out of the box

Back of the box.

Close-up! 

Remarkable likeness of Jeff Goldblum. He is one of my favorite actors, so it is nice to 

add him to my collection.

You can see the design of the vest in this photo.

With the promo photos of the coat, you can't tell what the fabric is. It feels like an ultraseude or microfiber. It gives the velvet a luxurious feel.

The print is absent from the back, but not in a way that suggests they were being cheap.

Sadly, the vest and shirt collar (not a full shirt) are attached to the jacket.

The collar of the vest/shirt combo attaches in the back. I am wondering if they can be 

turned into separate pieces?

The pants are green without detail.

The shoes are a half boot with details molded into them.

Nothing says dashing like a cane! The spiral design, with its curved handle, is distinctive.

The Wicked males share the same body.  It would have been nice to have a mature body on the older doll. Considering that Jeff Goldblum has always had a thin, wiry physique, I suppose it works.

Here are the guys dressed and together!

Stay tuned for a fashion show!

OK, Thanks For Looking!
