Ken gets his other stents tomorrow. Any good vibes, prayers, good wishes, whatever you believe in, would be appreciated. But now, what you're here for: dolls. I saw some really great brand new dolls last night. Walmart had a huge display, filled with beautiful dolls based on DC characters.
Around the side the featured dolls were Walmart's own My Life As dolls as Supergirl.
But the front of the display was filled with beautiful 1/6 scale DC heroines. There were four characters. Let's look at them one by one.
First up: Supergirl.
She looks a bit cross eyed, but she's very pretty.
I'm not sure when Supergirl started wearing a sweater, but she has a sweater, a cheerleader skirt, and knee socks under her boots. She also has a double belt, and her dog, Krypto. (Why would you name your dog after your biggest fear and danger?)
She has some articulation beyond the standard shoulders and hips too. I don't know about her ankles, but she also has jointed elbows, wrists, and knees. It looks like her waist might possibly have a joint too. Her hands have long, pointy fingernails.
Next we have Harley Quinn, not a heroine. Harley Quinn is a villain, being The Joker's babe. She's popular though, even though she's been played as pretty crazy.
She has the same pretty face as Supergirl, but she has HQ's smeary scary make up, and coloured streaks in her hair.

On one hand she has a molded fingerless glove, and both hands have the same long, pointy nails as Supergirl.
Next we have another villain, Catwoman. She's my second favourite of the bunch.
She has the same face as the others, but she has a mask, (I'm not sure if it's part of her face mold or not. Looks like it might be.), and her eyes are two different colours.
She has a cool black pleather top, a black tulle skirt, net stockings, and, like the others, boots. On each wrist she has a pearl bracelet. She also has the same long nails as the others.
And now on to my favourite. I'm sure you guessed which was probably going to be my favourite from the beginning. If you guessed Poison Ivy, you're right.
Daughter Ivy always hates being called Poison Ivy. I still do it occasionally....
As I've said, I wasn't particularly crazy about my own red hair, but I like red haired dolls. She has the same pretty face as the others, and some twisty hair horns, and big, plant based eyebrows.
I love her collar of leaves, and the leaves on her outfit. There are leaves printed all over it, plus there are some three dimensional leaves sewn to the top of the neckline.
She's wearing sheer, green tights, which also have a leave print. Unlike the other three, she isn't wearing boots. She's wearing her little leafy booties.
I guess we can tell now that there is no ankle joint.
She has a cool purse too.
There's a hinge on the bottom, so I guess it even really opens too! And, you can see that she has the same long pointy nails as the others. She's my favourite! Want!
The right side had the 18 inch My Life As dolls as Supergirl, but what was on the left side? The exact opposite of 18 inch dolls: Tiny Kelly/Chelsea sized dolls!
They're actually bag charms, and called 'Charming Bag Charms', so they have a hook thing coming out of their heads. I hope it's removeable, because they are so pretty it would be a shame to have a giant hook on their head ruining their looks. They also come with a bunch of other smaller charms and a bow.
They have '10+ pieces'.
I have the same two favourites in this bunch. Look how cute little Catwoman, (Catgirl?), is.

| Her mask definitely looks like a separate piece. |
And my favourite is, again, Poison Ivy.
 |
| She even has the little leave booties! Want! |
Something else I saw was the Ryan Gosling head sculpt Ken. I'm not sure if I remember seeing this one before.
 |
| Mattel is still riding high on the Barbie movie. |
It really does look like Ryan Gosling.
If somebody with more talent than I have repainted him, he would really look like Ryan Gosling.
And that's it for this post. I keep forgetting to post these on the blog's Facebook page. I'm thinking of it now though, so I better do it before I forget. See you soon.
