So Now that everyone is talking about Will Smith!

 Hey Gang!

So Now that everyone is talking about Will Smith!

While I wont mention what happen at the Oscars, I figured it was finally time for me to post my Original poseable Action Figure Hot Toys from 2001!

He came nude and I think he was modeled after  Will Smith from Independence Day.   

I actually purchased him back in 2002 and haven't posted him or played with him since 

my purchased him off of Ebay.

Warning Nude doll/action figure!

Out of  his plastic container with hands removed.

He has the Truetype Famoustype with 34 Joints.  He was the first action figures and the first with this type of body.  I also have another with this body.  On my blog he is known as Dupre-Blues-Becker.

One reason is his face!

The pinkish paint on his lip and under his eyes seems off to me! 

Now you couldn't see this when I purchased him.

Also his complexion is darker than Will Smith is in person.  This was one of the first 1/6 scale dolls/action figures with Will's likeness so I had to have him back then!  

Many dolls and action figures are release in relationship with a movie of TV series.  This doll was released in 2001 and it was still a bit early in Will Smith's acting career.  The first movie I believe where he really got notoriety was Six Degrees of Separation in 1993.  After that he did Bad Boys, Independence Day, Men in Black, Enemy of the State (One of my personal favorites. I need a Regina King doll!), Wild,Wild West, The legend of Bagger Vance and Ali in 2001, the year this figure was released.  He went on to do many more movies and TV series.  He even stating his own production company. He is considered on of the highest paid actors.

This headsculpt's complexion doesn't seem to match any of these characters for the movie he did prior to 2001. So I am still thinking Independence Day. As for the eyes and mouth, at this point in my dolly career I think I can change that and will this year.

Another reason he did get to much play time is his hands. This type of action figure has problems with the hands.

The fingers are articulated having wire in side of them. Trying to pose the hand or the storage of the figure out of the plastic container it came in will cause the problem. The base of the hand break away from the stem of the hand joint.  The stem can break off in the forearm.

The feet  are bigger than Ken doll so you will need your lager male shoes for this guy!  the hand join. 

So I will leave people with a better background on these types of things to discuss Will Smith's behavior!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Jayla and Jackson!

 Hey Gang!

Look at what is new! New faces too! Barbie It Takes Two Playset with Jackson and Jayla Twins Dolls!

Aren't they cute! I love the names too!  I think they are Stacie size or maybe Skipper size, at least I hope so. I would be disappointed if they were the size of  Max and Marie.

They come with all this stuff!

The come with 13 Storytelling Pieces including 3 Pet puppies and Accessories,

 Photos from Amazon 

So I'm guessing 19.99-25.99.

They were being sold on Amazon but they were out of stock when I checked.

Black noses! Yay!

You know I got to have them!  Mattel get five stars for this one. Even with the girl having the bent arm!

OK Thanks For Looking!

Fresh Dolls Go On Sale At Walmart!

 Hey Gang!

So I have seen some posts on Facebook but when I went into my own Walmart the Fresh Dolls were on sale! The only fashions that I saw was this one and I purchased it.

And at $2.00 why not!

Her are some of the dolls that were left to purchase for $6.50!

I purchase this one for the body and the clothes.  I don't like the head size of these dolls.  If they are still there when I go back, I will get the one in the gold dress too!

I am not sure if they are being discontinued or what but I was surprised to see them at this price.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Barbie 80's Cher Bob Mackie Doll

 Hey Gang!

So back in 2007 I purchased a 80's Cher Bob Mackie doll by Mattel. It is what year now and I am just getting around to posting her. Yeah, I'm way behind. So here she is! 

"If I Could Turn Back Time"

If you were around back then, you know that this song blared off the radio all day and it was one of the most popular videos!  Her outfit is iconic!

 

Promo photos!

Back of the box!

More Promo Photos

I kinda wish now that I had purchased two and kept one in the box! As you can see, her eyes are blue!  She actually has brown eyes but she wore blue contacts back then. It gave he a kinda different look!

Here she is in her Native American costume by Bob Mackie also!

I didn't purchase this doll and thus far I haven't regret that.  She is beautiful but I 

really want the first one!

So after I purchured the one on top, I rebodied her onto a Disney Store body. Here she is  pictured from one of my post on Rebodies dolls.

In this close-up you can see her blue eyes, her high cheekbones and full lips. She looks Russian to me so her name is Karina.

Karina: I am a business owner and want to open a business with my husband Dimtri! You will met him later!

OK, Thanks for Looking!

Elizabeth Taylor!

 Hey Gang!

Today is her birthday-- Elizabeth Taylor!

I posted photos of her when she passed in my post-- Her Time In The Sun Is Over! which was a take-off on A Place in the Sun.  I love the photos that I did for that post because she was in the the shadows and out of the sun. 

It was a happy accident. 

She was also in photos with my Divas when the new dresses I ordered off of ebay came in. She was rebodied on a Disney body with her blog name of Liz and personality in Five Lovely Ladies In New Dresses! 

Liz in her dress!

The Divas in their dress before Liz and Ms. D. got into a argument and Ms. D had her banned from the blog. That is why you haven't seen her since 2013! She is no longer banned and back in the blog.

She is finally documented on the blog!

A short snippet on Lix Taylor from Wikipedia:

Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor DBE (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was a British-American actress. She began her career as a child actress in the early 1940s and was one of the most popular stars of classical Hollywood cinema in the 1950s. She then became the highest paid movie star in the 1960s, remaining a well-known public figure for the rest of her life. In 1999, the American Film Institute named her the seventh-greatest. 

Born in London to socially prominent American parents, Taylor moved with her family to Los Angeles in 1939. She made her acting debut with a minor role in the Universal Pictures film There's One Born Every Minute (1942), but the studio ended her contract after a year.  She was then signed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and became a popular teen star after appearing in National Velvet (1944). She transitioned to mature roles in the 1950's when she starred in the comedy Father of the Bride (1950) and received critical acclaim for her performance in the drama A Place in the Sun (1951).  To read more, go to the wikipedia link . 

There are a few releases of Elizabeth Taylor doll by Mattel with the Elizabeth Taylor face.  I purchase the White Diamonds doll when she was released back in 2000 because she was on sale with a makeup purchase that became a Christmas president.

White Diamonds!

They did a really great job with the eyes!

There is also the Father of the Bride doll!

She looks like the fashion Icon that she is!

Sometimes For More Versatility , Changing The Body Can Be Necessary

 Hey Gang!

I've added this doll characters to my blog and I told you who they are but not where they came from.

Sisters Aya and Annyah.

This is Aya and I love this little heart tattoo on her face! She is.....

AA Barbie Sparkle Lights Fairy with the Elina headsculpt 2004.  She was released in 2010!

I though she had a wonderful face but the body wasn't play friendly for me!

So I put her on a Artsy Fashionista Barbie body!

Next up is Annyah! When I saw her face I knew she would be the perfect little sister for Aya!

She is AA Fairytale Magic who also has the Elina headsculpt and was released in 2011.

She is 8-inches tall fairy dolls but she feel like one of Stacie's friends. So I put her on a Stacie body. Here is Annyah with Mateo.

Lastly, is this doll who doesn't have a name yet.  Fairy to Mermaid Elina doll. She flies and swims!

She has the Mermaidia headsculpt and was released 2005/2006.

I haven't found a body for her or a job where she can wear this much makeup.  I am taking suggestions!
