Monster Factory: Mythicals Pre-Order
If you missed out on the Kickstarter project that brought Monster Factory's Mythicals series to (plush) life, they have made the range of six characters available to pre-order. Assumedly, you will likely get your plush after the Kickstarter folks get theirs, but if you're a fan of any of the characters...it'll be $45.00 to pre-order […]

Announcing the Third 2014 W Club Exclusive Doll
When I saw the name of the character, Mademoiselle Jolie, I was happy for a brief moment. Then I read further to discover that it is not Elise Jolie, whose sculpt I adore, but Isha, whose sculpt I do not care for in this incarnation. Her lips are parted and her teeth are showing.
This is what Isha used to look like before they rehabbed her to look like everyone else. Pretty gorgeous, right?

Here is the new Isha. I think the teeth will be easy to cover.

She is called Ombres Poétique and will cost W Club members $150. plus postage.
I like platinum hair but hair bumps are so over. I think the first thing I saw after the teeth was the sweeping eye makeup. The jury is still out on that.
I like the lingerie.

She certainly looks dramatic but the more I look at the gown, the more the black lace trim looks over-scaled. It's not working. I hope the production doll uses a better trim.

We've seen this gown shape several times on FR dolls. Reinterpretations don't bother me. Three of the gowns pictured below are more or less successful designs. I will have to see the new one in person to be sure.

The only other Mme. Jolie that was produced was a OOAK auction doll at the HiFi convention several years ago. This is a picture by Rob Thompson found on his robsdolls.com website. I would have loved that hairstyle and gown! But then it would not be a OOAK for the person who bought it.

Maybe I can dye the gown.... it could be a quinceanera dress.
What do you think of this new Mme. Jolie?

In July, Hot Toys announced they would be producing a Back to the Future 1/6th scale Marty McFly Figure as part of their Movie Masterpiece line.

Kat Killer Plush Toys
It's times like this that I regret my high school didn't offer up a course in Portuguese. At first blush, I was pretty sure that Kat Killer (maybe that means something different in Portuguese) was producing hipster dolls that you could take on your urban foraging escapades. I was wrong. They've actually produced several plush […]

Got a Railgun messing up your plans? Pre-order these two ITEMs.
A Certain Scientific Railgun S introduced me to the mercenary team ITEM, and its two most prominent members (Mugino and Frenda) quickly became two of my favorite characters in the show. I was hoping to see some figures made, but hadn't had any such luck until now.
It turns out that Wave would be the company to make them - make them as Beach Queens to boot. Given how much time I've spent hating on Beach Queens, there's a certain irony in all this.
No, these aren't great representations of the characters. Mugino is a Level Five badass and Frenda is a borderline psychotic goth-loli character with lots of bombs, but none of that comes through in these. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers I guess. Both will set you back ¥6,200 and are set for February 2015.
