Disney's China Doll Limited Release

China Doll
So it seems Disney is releasing a China Doll and it seems she's been released in a limited amount. When looking at her, I sadly don't like her. I know she's an exact likeness of the character, but I kind of saw her in a different light. I saw her with glass eyes, and maybe even a wig, even though she didn't have one in the movie. Her eyes just look so lifeless to me. The hair I could live with because that is how it is in the movie, but those lifeless eyes I couldn't. Her eyes in the movie had life and I think it would have been caught better with glass eyes. But that's just me being picky. What do you think? 


Do you think she looks ok? I don't know. Also I don't like her looking up. Yes in one scene of the movie she is looking up, but I doubt she is doing that the whole movie. It just doesn't look, I don't know, comfortable I guess. LOL! It's kind of weird. She's a pretty doll, just not one I'd be crazy over. But maybe I'm the weird one. LOL! I wonder if she can be posed. She kind of looks like she has solid limbs. After looking around in the bjd community for a while, I think if she were to be really jointed she would have padding in her joints that would be visible. So I don't think shes jointed. They say jointed in the description, but I think it's only at the torso. *sigh* Well, there's always the playline doll. LOL! I really want to have her, so I may have to get the playline one.  LOL!  I'm so picky. Come on guys, tell me how you feel about this unique gal. Hopefully I'm not the only weird one out there. LOL!

They also have an Oz doll and a Finleythe Monkey plush. Take a look.



Very cool. I love Oz's face paint, very handsome. If I wasn't trying to lean more towards Liv dolls I would consider snagging him up. What do you think of these two fellas? Feel free to tell me down below in the comments. :-)

Also, I am still working through posting the last of the few posts I'd written but not uploaded. I am super tired as of late, medicine changes and anemia are so not my friend, so the posts are going up slowly. Almost caught up though, and then I can continue on with blogging for February, which I am doing as well as uploading. Multitasking! :-) Oh hey, could you also do me a favor? While I write this blog mostly to talk about my love of dolls and eventually crafting, I also write this blog for you. I've been trying out different things here on the blog, and started using blog post cuts where you have to click on the link to see the rest of the post. I thought it would keep the main page of the blog cleaner for you, but it's also an extra step for you to do, and if you are catching up on posts, no sooner you hit the second page the post cuts are gone. So is it pointless for me to do the blog post cuts, or do you like not having long posts on the front page of the blog. Like I said, I do them for you, I'd leave the long post on the front of the page, and I see a lot of people do that, but I'd like to see what you all think. I'll post the next few posts with longer ones getting cut and see how it goes. Something tells me this won't be a lasting thing. LOL! But yeah, expect the rest of my posts to finally be all up in a day or two and then I will respond to comments. But for now this sleepyhead is off to bed...again. :-)

Oz The Great And Powerful Dolls

See, I told you I was so out of the loop. Seems the notice of these dolls have been out since last December. What do you guys think? The Wicked Witch is interesting. I wouldn't mind owning her, but only to keep in her box for decoration. Which witch do you like?

Oz The Great And Powerful

So I am so not up on the latest coming out of Hollywood, but I just found an article on Buzzfeed showing off the movie posters for this movie, Oz The Great And Powerful. I thought I had heard about an Oz movie coming out, but then it slipped my mind until today. These posters are really mesmerizing and beautiful. Take a look.

But here's my question, is it a comedic drama, or a comedy. In watching the trailers, I can truly see how music sets the mood. In the first trailer, you get a very epic Harry Potter-ish feel. You just know this is going to be “the” fight of good vrs. evil. But in the second video, it seems almost like a Beetljuice kind of creepy comedy. Now I truly believe the tone will be more like Alice In Wonderland where it's more of an epic drama with funny bits thrown in, but the last trailer just throws me off the track. Perhaps that is what they want. It seems Disney is trying to hide the fact about who will become the Wicked Witch, so maybe these trailers are to throw you off how the movie will really be, thus making you want to see it to satisfy your curiosity. Just my guess. Take a look at the trailers to see what I mean.




So it seems this will be a story about Oz himself and how he becomes Oz. It also seems to show the background story of the witches and about who becomes the Wicked Witch. Now being a fan of Wicked, this story kinds of throws me off as well. I mean, I thought we knew who was the Wicked Witch. Yes, while Oz is the same world in a lot of stories, I guess it can be a different universe for others to play in. So I get it, but still, throws off everything I've believed up until now. LOL! So it does have me curious about Disney's vision on which witch is which. LOL! So, any of you interested in this new tale of Oz? Do you plan to see the movie? I think this movie will be a "wait for it to come out on DVD" for me, but I am still curious to see it. :-)

I just wanted to share this fun find with you guys. Anyone else seeing Oz dolls in our near future? I wonder what they will look like? Mattel did amazing with Johnny Depp with their Alice In Wonderland dolls and Pirates of the Caribbean dolls, so I'm sure the Oz dolls will be amazing as well. And who knows, maybe new held sculpts? Only time will tell. And on that note I am off peeps. I will talk to you lovely people later. Be good until then. Bye for now.

Wishing to visit the land of Oz,
Michelle
