Fresh Squad Clone Guy.

 Hey Gang!

There is a doll set being sold at Dollar General and the male doll looks like a Fresh Squad clone. I tried looking for one in stores in my area with no luck.  I asked a friend who spotted them in her area to pick me up one. It is great to have doll friends!

Here is my set! It sells for $12.00.

Here is the clone with Anthony's face! He is the Dad.

This is the Mom! She looks like the Kid Connection doll!

The daughter!
The basket and the kitty.
The food!
The back of the box shows the set with the cat and the one with the dog.
The ties on the back of the package weren't as hard to remove as other doll sets.

Out of the box!

The dad is an Anthony clone. I'm saying Anthony because he is the bald one.
It is the same face but the head is slightly larger.
A closer look!
Heads compared!
The outfit is one of the better clone outfits and can be used on other dolls. The boots are nice too!
The body is a knock-off of the Ken doll's body like the one where the arms can move to the side.
He is a little shorter than Ken because he doesn't have as much neck.
Clone and Classic Cool #10
The body has a little more movement in the legs than the Ken doll does.
The mom is a clone that I have seen in another store. 
The outfit isn't too bad.  I think I might make it two pieces.  I could use it better that way.
The sneakers are made for flat feet but the doll has high-heeled feet. 

She has movement but a stiff body.
The daughter has a cute face.
She is a Chelsea doll clone.
I have that same face sculpt on a Kelly-size body.
I found this little one on the Kelly-size body about 4 years ago at Dollar General.

The cat, the basket, and the food!

Because of her complexion, her head can be moved to an articulated to a Five and Below Zoe doll body

It works well on her.

I think the clone doll head could work on a made-to-move body.

Neck hole and neck knob.
It works well on her.
OK, I think that I might need to hollow out the head hole so that it would fit lower.
Shorten it too! It would swivel better and look more natural.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Fences! On The Craft Table!

 Hey Gang!

One of the things that can be used in a outdoor diorama is a fence.  It can add a lot of detail and can be used to add distance in a scene. 

This fence is one I purchased from Byers' Choice LTD. It is a nice fence. 

I used it like this! See it behind the doll in this photo.
You can makes some nice fencing for a lot less than I paid for this fence. ($38.00)
One thing that makes a great fence is edging from the Dollar Tree or Dollar General!
One thing that you are looking for is scale! 
Before!
This might mean bringing your doll along for measurement..  This is a good scale if the stakes are shorten. 
After!
It looks like a wrought iron fence for a very fance location.
The same can be said for the color plastic edgilng. 
Before!
After!
Before!
After!
Here is how I used it!
It was used in the background for the vechile scene for the Farm Show! 
I need to continue that dio!
You can also use wrapping paper or contact and printed brick paper to make a fence/wall too.
By attaching it to cardboard it can become a fence or wall like this! 
Or this! Brick print with a edge
Now, I found this fence at the thrift store! It is anothe place that you can overlook for diorama fences.
Last but not least, find some sticks and glue them together to make a fence.
That I used here.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
