The Magic Of Merlin!

 Hey Gang!

I first saw the Merlin and Morgan Le Fay doll set in Barbie Bazaar. I don't think I ever saw them in Toys R Us. 

Photos are from Barbie Bazaar.
Barbie Bazaar did an interesting photo shoot with the dolls, too! 










Morgan's face looked exotic. 
And there was something about the gray hair of Merlin.

While browsing eBay, I spotted him at a great price, so I had to put in a bid and won! He came out of the box without shoes. No biggie! Here he is.
Close up!
Under the beard, he has the 40th Anniversary Ken doll headsculpt.
The rest of his outfit is complete with great details. I love the embellishment on the cuff and shawl.
The back.
Note the embroidery on the shawl.
Once the hat is removed, you can get a good look has this hair. It is soft, Baby fine, and a little fly-away.
It is full.
Out of his robe, he has the 1977 articulated body. You can't see it for the beard.
So I moved it aside.
To make him usable as a character, some of the beard will have to go. The fly-away hair will have to be addressed. I will post him after his makeover.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
