Having A Ball With This Wonderful And Unusual Steiff Play Pony
Let's rein in the history behind this colorful colt. Rody is based on a globally recognized and beloved inflatable child's toy designed for riding fun and exercise; she is pictured here on the left. The Rody character was introduced in 1984 by an Italian company called Ledraplastic. Rody's general pattern was created by "melting" together play balls of various sizes in order to give her a friendly and juvenile appearance. The original Rody is 54 cm tall and 45 cm long and made from a very durable and bouncy latex free vinyl. Believe it or not, Rody can support up to 400 pounds, according to the manufacturer! Originally, the company wanted to name the toy "Rodeo" but were concerned with patent infringement and other legal issues. Today, Rody is manufactured in a spectrum of 16 rainbow colors, and is also produced in a larger size (Rody Max) that can support adults, as well as a smaller companion size called Rody Jr.
Although Steiff has been known and collected across Asia for many years, it was not until the early 1990's that the company began regularly producing country-exclusive items for Japan for the general market. One of the first was called Teddy Bear 1907, which was produced in a 5,000 piece edition in 1991 and 1992. He is pictured here on the left. Traditionally, the majority of Japanese Steiff exclusives have been Teddy bears, or well recognized cultural figures or icons, like Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Snoopy, Pingu and Pinga, the penguin claymation characters, and of course, Rody. Steiff also created a series of bears dressed as pilots and flyers for Japan Air Lines in the early 2000's. Today, Steiff is as popular as ever in Japan. Most recently, Steiff produced a 1,500 piece run of Teddy Bear Kumamon, a charming, cartoon like black bear mascot created to promotes rural Kumamoto prefecture in southern Japan. This fantastic edition sold out on the online shop within five seconds!
Steiffgal hopes this discussion on Rody has been a wonderful play-date for you!

Silkstone Fashion Model Collection "Ducissima"
Listed on the amazon.de (Germany) website is this newest Mattel Silkstone, Ducissima.
Once again we see a conglomeration of styles and an overworked ensemble. I want to take things away like the cape and the ruffly bow-tied sleeves. One doesn't know what to look at first because so much is going on.
Individually, some parts are very nice. She is a pretty doll with a lovely face. I can't tell about the hairstyle. I like the boots a lot. They'd look great with a coat or a simpler dress with chunky jewelry. Ditch the purse and gloves and give us big earrings (after taking away the shirt and cape.)
Bottom line...we've got another hot mess here.
To me she looks more Spanish than Italian. "Matador Sans Red Cape" is what I'd call her. An Italian speaker noted that the name, Ducissima, doesn't mean anything in Italian slang or dialect. Dulcissima is a Latin adjective. Dolce means sweet in Italian.

It was pointed out by Dutch Barbie World that this look is inspired by a look from the Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2012 line. D&G did it much better.

Robert Best's flourishes and changes do not help the fashion at all. I like the D&G look very much and I like the boots on their own..
When I photograph my dolls who have side glancing eyes, I always have their head turned in the direction their eyes are looking. Try it yourself. Glance to one side and turn your head the other way. It's not easy and it's very weird at the same time. Don't you feel sly?

Man builds 18-foot tall Bumblebee for his son
Wanting to share a piece of his own childhood with his son, Lemoore, California native Tom Rhoads took to building a massive statue of Transformers character Bumblebee on his parent's farm. The statue stands some 18 feet tall and is made from a real Volkswagen Beetle he received from a nearby restorer. If you're in the area you can see it for yourself any time of day south of Fresno off Highway 41, visitors are more than welcome.
Up next, Optimus Prime? He has the parts and blueprints so I can only hope.

LEGO mini figs star in Oscar nominee movie posters
You'll never be able to run out and buy a LEGO set for movies like Her or 12 Years a Slave, but thanks to artist Old Red Jalopy you can get an idea of what such a thing might look like. Movie posters for the nine Oscar Best Picture category nominees have been recreated drawing inspiration from LEGO mini-figures.
In a collection that also includes Gravity, Dallas Buyers Club, Captain Phillips, American Hustle, Nebraska, Philomena, and The Wolf of Wall Street there might actually be a couple potential real sets in there. Well, maybe not anything kids would buy, but you know you'd want to see a Somali Pirate Attack play set or an Adrift in Space play set. No, just me?
You can see them all right here mirrored in the gallery or on imgur. Now let's see him redo the LEGO Movie poster with real people!

Beach Queens Ryuko Matoi is stepping on the sand
Wave has posted a blog featuring their upcoming Beach Queens Ryuko Matoi of Kill la Kill fame. This will be the first Beach Queens figures I'll be buying, and I'm so excited! I can't wait to own a figure version of one of my favorite Kill la Kill posters.
Now that the prototype is complete, I imagine it won't be long before we start seeing pre-orders start. Will Ryuko be one of the Beach Queens ladies you'll be adding to your collection? Are you like me and haven't picked up a single Beach Queens figure until this one? I'd love to know!
