Werepuppy's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020

Elegance incarnate!

They thank you for the kind words.

Breathtaking! Diamonds beg these girls to be their friends.

Well, of course, they only wear the finest of things.

Who is the lady with short black hair?

She is an R'n'S Susie doll, in particular the Kyoto Oren variation. You can read about Susie here

13. M is for Monster



We got spirits, yes we do, we got spirits, how 'bout you? Just a small selection of some of my monsters. I tried to go for the less obvious ones, though they might be obvious for me. Who knows?

[Tam I am]

Oh right, Susie! I should remember her, since I belonged to her official Yahoo group when she first came out.

MH yay. I just found Wydowna in the thrift store.

[davidd]

A superb and colorful collection of some of the non-Core characters!

Rochelle is so cute! And I find Clawdia amusing; I think it's her effervescent smile!

[Stormlight]

Love the monster girls! They’re so unique among the toy line dolls.

[Tam I am]

Clawdia's on my wishlist, because she has teeth like mine.

I'm glad that after Mattel dropped MH, it still lives in people's collections. I wonder if we'll see a similar line (or even renewed MH) in the future.

I believe Susie ended up becoming part of an Integrity Toys line? I'm not 100% on that though.

Oh, Wydowna! I've actually never been lucky enough to own her. I keep looking for a good second hand deal, though.

I think I am only missing Lagonna out of the core characters, now I think on it. Oh, and a Frankie. I've never really found one I like as much as the original first release which I did have but detoriation issues.

Rochelle's expression is always so endearing to me and I think Clawdia's sculpt is one of those that tends to grow on you. I do definitely like it more now than I did the first time I saw it - and I didn't dislike it then.

There's dolls you can see as being spiritually related - Emerald the Enchanting Witch and even BeGoths - but MH was a fairly unique thing in terms of dolls marketed to girls. I really miss this level of creativity.

I hope you manage to find her!

I think I can see a reproduction type line coming about at some point. It's a shame Mattel dropped the ball on the line - in theory, if they hadn't flodded the market in the way they did, and then made such extreme changes, it's possible it could still be going now. Well, maybe.

14. N is for Norse



And one of my favourite set of siblings. Thor and Loki.

[neon_jellyfish]

Hmm, with his hands behind his back like that, Loki looks like he's just about to pull a prank on Thor... But then again, he might not be suicidal enough to risk the possibility of Thor pulling a hammer on him to repay the favor.

[davidd]

I like Loki's body language here, leaning slightly away, like, "No, I do not know the geeky cosplayer."

[Tam I am]

Well, I never expected to get Wydowna. Especially not from the thrift store for two bucks Canadian. So who knows, Clawdia and my other wish list MH might show up some time too. I mean, I got a nearly fully dressed Cerise Hood, and there was a fully dressed Raven Queen there that day too.
