Seeing If She's All She's Cracked Up to Be: The Jakks Pacific 14-Inch "Oz: The Great and Powerful" China Girl Doll

This is probably my second-most overdue review, as this is the other doll I kept from my original teen-years doll collection, and I've cited her in multiple reviews prior. Last year, I finally covered my precious Feisty/Love Inner Monster, who also survived my teen-collection cull, but she needed replacement parts to be presentable. This doll, however, has been patiently waiting and had been reviewable the whole time I've owned her.

Venus McFlytrap Just Won't Quit: G1 Boo-riginal Creeproduction and G3 Self-Scare Secrets!

When given the opportunity to get Creeproduction Venus, I said yes. She has enough bright spots to be worth reviewing. I also took this as my opportunity to catch up on the G3 character, who has given me no reason to pass on her yet.

This is a fairly quick return to an older doll subject, and won't be a long post, but I'd promised it in the review itself.

Warning for very irreverent use of grim imagery.

This was a long time coming. And there's absolutely no excuse.

Eggy's Easter Hunt

Easter is pretty darn low on my list of holidays personally. I don't love the pastel aesthetics and cutesy animals, but it can still be fun to get festive. I'd been thinking of using Living Dead Dolls' character Eggzorcist, the Easter bunny girl, as a holiday feature since her Return doll was revealed...but she shipped in autumn so that plan was a bust. I thought of doing something the next spring, but sacrificed the idea to keep my schedule lighter, along with discarding the "Sadie's deathday party" idea for the same reason. Now, though? Now, I could. (And I plan to do the Sadie project too!)
