Hatter Madness 2, or "Nearly Truly Tenniel": The Barbie Silver Label Alice Collection!

This doll was the reason I committed to a whole project of Alice Hatter dolls. One of the forthcoming dolls was likely going to be reviewed this year regardless, but when I discovered this particular doll existed last December, I needed him absolutely. I could have gotten him immediately, but instead I realized I found a niche series topic I could chain with other doll Hatters, both on my radar and newly discovered. Barbie making a Mad Hatter is not super unusual...but this art style, with proportions inspired by the illustrations? That instantly made him a must-have.

Well, isn't this a poetic moment.

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.
