I can’t believe it’s not available in stores with the all important Holiday gift-giving season coming up!
Too funny!

Priceless :-)
The perfect Monday afternoon entertainment.
I do like me some gawking spectators and shattered dreams.

Gawking spectators. LOL.

Oh please?
Are we to believe that is a fashion-conscious italian from San Remo with that tie-length?

Very well done. :-)

Thanks
I was wondering how to allude in very, very covert terms.

Oh?... Ah... Ooo right... and ow.
You’re right, I didn’t give that enough thought.

I'm struggling to see the chiselled jaw line in that picture

No simulacrum could ever do it justice, of course.

FAR too rounded...

Well, there are only so many head molds and hairstyles to work with.
No matter. He hasn’t actually arrived yet, so when he does I’ll just refuse the package and put “jaw not chiseled enough” for the reason. But what am I going to do with all this lime-gr…?
Hmm. That one over there with the short black hair…you wouldn’t happen to know offhand what color Quinziato’s eyes are, would you?
by majope on Oct 27, 2009 11:23 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Brown.
Quinzi Barbie? Oh yes.

Oh, kind of greeny brown

is anyone else a little disturbed by the buff, naked Lincoln doll?

Some of your historical icons spent more time in the gym than you would expect
also, is that Ben Franklin behind him?
by Jens on Oct 27, 2009 4:34 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
No, I think that's Adams.
Franklin’s in the bigger box with Washington, Jefferson, and Hoover.
Lincoln had to be buff, to make up for the hand he lost in Curacao. Turned out they weren’t dolphins.

Man, Abe is ripped!
Obviously a benefactor of the mostly squirrel diet.
Too bad J.W. Boothe didn’t just ask him to “step outside”…Abe would’ve throttled him.

That's the Barbie from the Barbie Barbie Barbie Barbie, no?

Yup.
I expect she’ll be back—well, certainly in more scenes from the barbie, but probably elsewhere too.
by majope on Oct 27, 2009 7:56 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yikes!
Are her feet bound? Is she 17th century Chinese aristocracy?

I was going to say that since she's in 3-inch heels, the view of her foot is foreshortened
but then I actually grabbed a doll and measured her foot. And yes, yikes. Her foot is an inch long, which at 1:6 scale is the equivalent of six inches in length (15.24 cm). According to the shoe size charts I looked at, she’s got the foot of your average 2-year old. No wonder she falls over without a stand.
Barbie Barbie’s feet? The equivalent of 7.875 inches long (about 20 cm). He’d wear the shoes of a 6-year-old.
Wouldn’t be the first time Barbie’s been accused of having unrealistic proportions. So, hey—let’s check the “Happy To Be Me” doll, which was specifically created as a protest against Barbie. From the back of the Happy To Be Me box:
Our doll doesn’t look like a fashion doll because real women don’t have pinched waists, tiny feet, and legs disproportionately long for their bodies.Well, cool. How long are her feet? 1.25"—the equivalent of 7.5 inches. That would put her in a 5-year-old’s shoes instead of a 2-year-old’s. Let’s hear it for progress! (File this under: stuff you never thought you’d learn from a cycling site.)

This is unparralleled fan appreciation!
Excellent and entertaining work, majope! I’ve been shaking my head and chucking in my office for the past 10 minutes. So creative. Thanks for brightening our day.
