Mattel: Last Day to Pre-Order Castle Grayskull
Twenty-five inches tall, 26 inches wide and 28 inches deep and based on the sculpt of the original 1981 prototype, Castle Grayskull only has until the end of the day today to reach its production goal! If the minimum goal is reached by November 12, Castle Grayskull will go into production for a 2013 release, becoming the largest, most feature-rich MOTUC item ever produced! If you pre-order, you will not be charged until the castle ships sometime in late 2013, so you've got time to save up the 250 beans this one sets you back. For a complete list of features (and to pre-order) check out MattyCollector.com.

Review: Lilac Frost Poppy W Club Exclusive
Finally after so many months of being packed and then moving in and waiting for my photo studio to be completed, I have my set-up going again. Lilac Frost is the first doll to be lucky enough to have a photo shoot in the new studio. Mr. Woodie is her accompanist.
This was a Club Exclusive but I don't think it was considered a Club doll. High End Envy Erin was the First 2012 Club Exclusive Doll. Whatever.
Here she is in all her lilac glory.
I think her screening is delightful. The outfit appears to be very well made and fits perfectly. The gloves...forget about it. I don't have time to fight with tight vinyl gloves. I love the hat!

Her jewelry is pink rhinestone studs and bracelet.

See the comparison above and below for the changes made from the
promotional doll to the production doll. Above, of course is the
production doll. Below is the promo.

In the promo, Poppy has only painted lashes. The production doll has an extra set of applied lashes. I like that as it makes her eyes smokier and more intense. Her actual screening is also more intense although that could be a result of the photographer's lighting.
If you love Poppy, you will have to have this one. I've seen photos in which the collector has loosened the upturned ends of her hair and she looks amazing.![]()

What the Heck is a Puppet-on-a-Stick and Should You Care?
Puppets have been used for centuries as a form of entertainment, and it pleases me greatly that in the midst of the technology rampage we’re on, the imaginative inspiring toys are still hanging in there. With Puppet-On-A-Stick, I’d say they are actually more than hanging in there-they’re thriving! See what others are saying about the [...]

Cocoon 1: A Plastic Case of Emotion
Occupying that weird status between a chair and a room, the Cocoon 1 is the latest creation of Swedish designers, Micasa Lab. The spheroid chairoom comes with rearrangeable cushions so you can plan your evil schemes in customized comfort.
One of my dreams is to build a human-sized hamster maze, complete with transparent plastic and a running wheel. I think the Cocoon 1 would go nicely with this setup.

Spherical Solar Energy
Apparently it’s sphere day at Albotas. (If you haven’t yet, check out the Cocoon 1.) This futuristic contraption is a solar energy harvester. But rather than taking the form of a boring old slab of photovoltaic bleh, this one is a giant sphere. 35% reduced energy consumption? Whatever. I just want it because it looks cool.

Coal Ornament from Steff Bomb
You know the Compliment Sandwich? It’s when someone criticizes you, but to soften the blow, the buffer the insult with two compliments. This coal ornament from Steff Bomb is kind of like that. It’s a super cute present, but at the same time it’s a piece of coal, the universal symbol of holiday hate.
Pick on up for your favorite little bastard at Seff’s Etsy shop.
