China Girl from OZ

[famedglory]

I love the looks of this girl! I still need to see the movie and I'm unfamiliar with the character, but I love her aesthetics so much. I doubt I'll end up getting one, but I'm glad I get to see yours.

Ughhhhhh....I did not want one until you said she was gaining popularity. I ditto famedglory. Love the idea, but I'm not familiar with her character. Maybe I will have to read the books now

[Cajsa]

She's cute! I haven't seen the movie but I want too

I wonder how she would take to a head transplant?

[magkelly]

She's made of a very hard, very thick plastic. It's almost the same plastic that those supposedly unbreakable Corelle dishes are made of. I have my doubts that even boiling it would soften it enough to remove her head sans breaking. I thought about sticking her head in a pot of boiling water just to see if I could get the top off so I could maybe wig her blue but I just think she's likely to crack first.

[Wardah]

So basically if one removes her head there is no going back?

[magkelly]

I haven't actually done it. I'm too afraid I will break her, but I'm thinking so. She's not made like a Barbie, a Tonner et all. The corelle dishes thing that's as close as I can get to describing what she is made of. It's pretty tough, rigid, not very flexible. I really think in this case heat would likely crack it not make it more flexible.

I saw the movie and l liked it. The doll is cute she likes like a BJD.

I saw one at Target last week, and was pretty tempted to get one myself even though I haven't seen the movie yet.

[magkelly]

I actually did see the movie. Took some kids in my family because not all of them had gotten to go and several wanted to see it or see it again. Honestly, I didn't like the film much. Thought they should have titled it Oz:The Soap Opera, with the witches fluttering their lashes and chasing the handsome Wiz. All the longing and weeping that was going on?

Somewhere over the rainbow Frank L Baum is probably rolling in his grave, and Margaret Hamilton too. I never thought I'd ever see the WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST turned into such a wimp of a character! ICK! Disney as much as I usually love you folks, right now I could just turn whoever was responsible for coming up with the plot of this dismal film into frogs! I've seen a lot of good Oz films. Return to Oz and Tin Man come to mind, but this? I can't say it was worth much, sorry, but I really just didn't like it much at all.

I actually thought China Girl was the best thing in it. She's a bit of a little bitch at points, kind of bloodthirsty too, but she was at least funny. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have been able to sit through it. I just hated what they did with the adult characters, but China Girl, she was amusing. At home she's a little sweetheart and I'm still in love with her uniqueness. I even made her a little blue chair with blue star material to sit on and gave her a spot of her own on a bookshelf.
