Living Dead Dolls Roundup 3

I don't set out to theme my LDD roundups, but by circumstance, dolls on the lower end which had good offers and piqued my interest around this time happened to all be boys! Basically none of the dolls I was considering for this roundup felt reasonable within the budget for May, so I improvised and ended up with another set of dolls I really liked.

I do have quite an interest in boy dolls just because the doll industry has arranged itself so they're a minority, and this holds true for LDD too, but I don't find myself taking a particular interest in most LDD boy dolls compared to other doll brands. These guys are exceptions!

Let's Talk Trolls, Part 1: My Childhood Russ Berrie Troll Dolls

One of my many childhood toy collections was troll dolls. They weren't new on the market anymore when I got them, but they weren't as long-retired as they are now. I used to have a lot of trolls, but now only have the most unique ones I'd gotten. Let's look at them!

Living Dead Dolls Roundup 2

Time for another LDD roundup...at last! (These are never going to be finished as quickly as I want, are they?) Fortunately, at the start of May, I was finally able to order the last doll I needed to make this a proper roundup of three. I think three dolls (or to stretch things sometimes, three characters) will generally be the size I stick with for these roundup posts. 

This roundup will be long despite the pool being no larger than the group in my previous LDD roundup. Each of these dolls got me more involved and hands-on re: the creative side of things with extravagant photo staging requiring more elaborate props or extended diorama crafting setup, and I made a really outsized number of art pictures here (which I also think include some of my strongest). I think it was all worth it, though, and three is three. I wasn't publishing this at just two dolls. Let's begin!

Apology to Avea

This is the story of an extended abject disaster. Consider this the tale of a series of toy crimes and my attempt to atone.

Building for Willa the Witch

I'm backed up again, so I decided to work with what I have. My plans for LDD Roundup 2 have been stalled a few days, though hopefully it will still be able to be finished before the next week is out. I just haven't been able to get the last doll for it yet. So let's go back to my cherished LEGO witch, Willa!
