Pop! TV: Friends
It's hard to imagine that Friends premiered over 20 years ago. But I still remember kids in my high school physics class acting all hip because they had memorized whatever funny lines that blonde girl said to the guy with the brown hair...and all I could talk about was the latest episode of Darkwing Duck.

Pop! goes the ghost: Crimson Peak receives Funko treatment
Guillermo del Toro's upcoming horror film Crimson Peak isn't going to hit theaters until October 16, but horror collectibles fans won't have to wait that long for the film's merchandise as Funko plans to release three Pop! figures this September (and you can pre-order them now!).
The line-up consists of Sir Thomas Sharpe (played by Tom Hiddleston, the mortal actor alias of the god Loki), Edith Cushing (a possible homage to the late horror actor Peter Cushing?), and the mother ghost.
While it's too soon to tell how the film will perform in theaters, it's still really neat that we're seeing collectibles for it already. If nothing else, the Mother Ghost may find a home on my shelves.
The Pop!s are listed for US$10 apiece and are currently available for pre-order. Look for these in September.

Now you can keep a PINK Batman in your pocket wherever you go!
Funko has "shrunk" rainbow Batman for its Pocket Pop! keychain line. The world's greatest detective (not named Sherlock Holmes) will be available in the same six colors as the Entertainment Earth-exclusive Pop! line.
Fans of completely silly comic storylines from the '50s will no doubt recall Batman adopting various color outfits to further confound (and distract) criminals. While neither line-up thus far has included the actual rainbow outfit, once more we've been treated to colorful variety of Batman figures (and a normal outfit). It's a very nice mix and a guaranteed conversation starter should anybody see you go for your keys (although that conversation may go along the lines of, "Why is that a thing?").
Supposedly these are now available at Target so I may be making a run to my local store later this week for the pink and green versions (Riddle me this: How often can you say that you have a pink Batman? Answer: All the time if you own one!).

Some New Photos ∞§∞ Some Old Dolls
I've been missing in action from my blog which is quite unusual for me. The consignment job I took on at the end of June has kept me extremely busy. In addition, we're looking for another house.
I have taken some pictures with no particular theme.

This lovely Mini Live Wire Avantguard (2010) has been standing around waiting for attention. I don't remember from whom her black dress and shoes came. She is a wigged doll.

The only Agnes I've kept out of all of them is Firefly. I've thought about changing her outfit but this is just perfect for her. It came from "Sunset Rave" Ayumi who was a convention gift in 2011. A lot of my dolls are like that. I find the best outfit for them and that's that.

Currently my only Adele, the classic "Graphic Language," is wearing the dress from Full Spectrum Veronique. I have managed to find an FR2 body to match her skin tone. She's gorgeous. Graphic Language originally (2004) came on a straight arm body and has the second Adele sculpt.

Another earlier (2005) doll, "Foreign Affair" Veronique models an altered dress from the Katy Keene collection. I removed the big bow things from the hips. Still not loving the gown but Vero needed some attention. She's had an FR2 body swap.
"Foreign Affair" Vero is from the Golden Age (that's what I call it) of Fashion Royalty which lasted for another five years. Although the bodies were the first articulated type which was replaced by the original 'tall' body, the hair styling and the face paint were special. Screening had an airbrushed look and was not cartoonish or freaky as it often is now:
The dolls were gorgeous. That year saw the dolls sporting applied lashes for the first time.

I tried to love her, really I did. I sold her two weeks ago. There was something about her hair or maybe it was her brows. I don't know. She did not work for me. She is Ayumi Nakamura "Opium" from 2012.
______________
I've been gradually thinning my Fashion Royalty collection. For the most part, the newer dolls and pop culture lines don't interest me. The newer tall and the hand swap bodies are turning color. It's very depressing to think that my once adored collection is deteriorating. Even one of the newest dolls - still in her package - has noticeably different color hands from the rest of the body. That may be another issue altogether but the problem hasn't been solved and it's pushed me even farther away.
