Doll-A-Day 2017 #92:Emma's Collection Part 4: Full Size Pop Vinyls and Titans,

  Yesterday we saw Emma's mini figures. Today we're going to look at her full size Pop Vinyls and Titans figures.
  First of all,there's her Doctor Who Titans figure.

It's a pretty good likeness of the 9th Doctor, played by Christopher Eccleston.

Emma has the 10th Doctor too, but she still hasn't unpacked everything from her move several months ago.
   Her other Titans figure is Saul from "Better Call Saul" and "Breaking Bad".
His cup comes out of his hand. In fact, it fell out while I was taking the pictures and rolled under the TV stand and got lost for a while.



Her Pop Vinyls include Pinky, from "Pinky and the Brain"...


  ...Doc Brown from "Back to the Future"...






...Tina and  Gene, From "Bob's Burgers"...

...the Sesame Street characters we saw in a previous post...

Super Grover,Bert, and Ernie.
...Ben Kenobi,which we also saw when we looked at her "Star Wars" collection...


...and the Han Solo on a tauntaun we also saw...

Cute tauntaun face!
..this Benson, from "The Regular Show"...

I've never been especially find of Pop Vinyls because I don't think they bear much resemblance to the people or characters they are trying to emulate. There are a few exceptions,but for the most part,no. I wouldn't turn down a gift of a Pop Vinyl Planet of the Apes figure, but I'd much rather have a more realistic figure or doll,like a Sideshow or Hot Toys, or the more comparatively priced,Neca figures. (Hint to Emma:Those Neca figures are amazing and would make a great gift.Pass it on!)
Tomorrow we'll look at some other figures and toys.

Doll-A-Day 2017 #89:Emma's Collection Part 1:Star Wars

  Not too long ago I thought of doing a post on some of my daughter Emma's Pop Vinyl and Funko figures, because she has so many different kinds. I put titles on a couple of blank posts as place holders. They got accidentally posted for a coupe of hours,(Until I noticed!), and they got quite a few views. Somebody wanted to read about those figures! Once I started taking pictures of Emma's Pop Vinyl figures I decided to move on to her other toys,her dolls,her stuffed toys, her carded figures.Suddenly I realized there was no stopping. And also, practically everything in Emma's apartment is figural or at least themed.

Like this incense burner Fuzz bought her one year.

This elephant shaped candy dish which, admittedly,I bought her.

Even her slippers.

A carved wooden elephant on her Star Wars tins.
It's definitely not a place for those people who can't stand 'faces' everywhere.
On the walls.



On the fridge.
 Although it's not all faces...

Her lamp.

She's still looking for a suitable shade. (Emma is, not lamp lady.)

Even her wardrobe has faces:
Emma, Ken, and Ivy model Emma's collection of 'head hats',(and head gloves, and head backpacks.) It's kind of bizarre when she wears that Beaker hat in the back seat and I look in the rear view mirror.

We ran out of heads to show this reversible Regular Show hat. 

Even her kitchen stuff! The red haired girl on the left is a 'Hot Mama' that cleans your microwave. (Another gift from Fuzz and his girlfriend.). The Monsieur Tofu was a gift from Ken. He was part of Monsieur Tofu vs. Mr.Bacon, but we're vegetarian, so she gave Mr. Bacon to a bacon loving friend. I guess Monsieur Tofu won. The houses are part of a collection too.

 Those houses? They started with a spice rack she fell in love with. I got it for her for Christmas one year.

 After she fell in love with the spice rack, and before I got it for her, she found this set of canisters:

Even the chip clip is a cat head!

Then she found a house tea caddy, and when she went to the big Dominoes manager convention they gave out the little Dominoes store,which is also ceramic and stores things.  
Emma has a few favourite things that feature heavily in her collection. The most obvious ones are  Star Wars, the Monkees,The Beatles,and The Muppets. Then there are things she has fewer representations of,like Bob's Burgers, The Regular Show,cats, and music.We'll look at each of those individually.Let's start with Star Wars.

These Yoda lights have a flaw she didn't know about until she opened them at home.Who designed these things?
Believe it or not, this Boba Fett is her alarm clock.
Star Wars throw pillows were gifts from some friends.

The Hoth Wompa plush is by Funko.



Emma wanted it explained that all the cat hair on Mr. Bean's teddy bear and Darth Vader is due to the fact that I dug them out of the window,where her cat Cowboy had been laying on them.

A Pop Vinyl Hoth Han Solo and Tauntaun.

And they have bobble heads.

Look at that tauntaun face!
The big Yoda is my fault I think.
A Funko storm trooper bobble head.
Tomorrow we'll look at another catagory of the Emma collection.
