#StarWars EP4 1/6 Sandtrooper from Hot Toys
I have a "soft-spot" for SANDTROOPERS … I mean I heart my Stormtrooper like everyone else, but somehow the dirtier sand-weathered look seems more rough-n-tumble rugged-cool (not "fall-down-a-cliff-fighting-a-war-battle-damaged"), and that touch of orange accented color, is quite pleasing to my senses (I am a simple man) … then Hot Toys had to go show these:

The White House Doll
In doing my research for the "History of Faceless Dolls" I ran across several articles regarding a historical doll named "Sally" (shown in the picture above from the National Museum of American History) that is now in the Smithsonian and was otherwise known as "The White House Doll." She was described as a rag doll, but from the picture above you'd think she was a china head doll. So, of course I was intrigued and had to find out more.
According to the "Creating A Private Life" section of "Life and Death In The White House" this doll was made around 1829 for Mary Louisa Adams, grandaughter of John Quincy Adams.
According to Child Life in Colonial Days, Volume 1 By Alice Morse Earle - Published 1909, "The White House doll spent the days of her youth in the White House at Washington,with the children of the president, John Quincy Adams and is still cherished by his descendants."
Section VI of Our Early Presidents, Their Wives and Children: From Washington to Jackson By Harriet Taylor Upton published in 1890 contains a section about the family of John Quincy Adams and his grandchildren, including Mary Louisa Adams, shown in the picture below from a painting owned by her husband, W. C. Johnson, Esq., Newburyport, Mass.
In Chapter 3 we learn from Mary Louisa's cousin, William, that, in his opinion, she never really had a young life. "Notwithstanding that it is certain that "Mary Louisa" had a doll who is "still living;" "a big rag baby 'Sally,' the first and only doll," writes Mr. Johnson who owns and cherishes "Sally;" "a personage," he says, "who has served each subsequent childhood in our family." She had it in the White House days. Her great-aunt, Mrs. Thomas Boylston Adams made it for her just before entries in the bridesmaid dairy...." which were February 26th, 1829.
The section on John Quincy Adams and his family starting on Page 292 of Our Early Presidents, Their Wives and Children: From Washington to Jackson By Harriet Taylor Upton is an interesting section to read and provides a lot of insight into the lives of John Quincy Adams, his wife, their chidren, and grandchildren.
On Page 29 of The Doll Book By LauraB. Starr published in 1908 we learn that "The descendants of John Quincy Adams treasure a shapely rag doll who spent the days of her youth with the children of the President in the White House in Washington."
I know the dress is pink and white, but was hoping to find more information on the dolls face. At first I thought she was a china head doll, but some of the descriptions say she is a handmade rag doll so she probably wouldn't have a china head.
The question is if she was a painted and cloth face doll was her face needle sculpted. Can you tell?
I guess I'll just have to visit the Smithsonia and see for myself.

Travelling the world isn’t really an easy thing to do for most families. It certainly isn’t an option for us right now. Birdie, of course, knows how to make me feel extra guilty.

ArtFX+ Super Powers Batman & Robin get photo galleries + pre-orders
Kotobukiya has posted release details and photo galleries for its upcoming 1/10-scale ArtFX+ Super Powers Batman and Robin, both of which are currently up for pre-order.
The Dynamic Duo are the fourth and fifth releases in the ArtFX+ Super Powers series, following Superman, Green Lantern and Flash. We last saw these two unpainted at Toy Fair 2015 and the coat of paint has made a substantial difference, as these two figures look incredible. As with many of the others, the figures feature cloth capes and are sculpted so they look like they have articulation.
Like Flash, these don't seem to come with an action accessory (like Superman's interchangeable arm) which is something of a shame. However, I expect that many fans will jump at the opportunity to pick these two up. (Note: Robin is in scale with Batman and, as such, is a little shorter.)
Batman is expected to release in October while Robin will follow him in November. Both will retail for around US$30.
