The former inhabitants are presently held in an open cardboard box or clear plastic package top as shown in the photo below. They will be soaked and dried and inspected for repairs, etc. The Free Moving Ken and the Love doll required repairs some time ago. Ken fell apart - Free Moving Curtis came undone the same way - the "free moving" construction did not hold up. Love lost hair and one leg came off it's setting. Mary Quant Daisy has a partially melted butt. The others just seem to be dusty.
Where will the newly liberated crew go? After their clean-up, I would like to arrange them in my shelving units. I need to insert either a cardboard floor or a rug to a.) keep the dolls from slipping through the slits in the shelves and b.) to avoid bad plastic-plastic contact. I'll have to debox more dolls or move some boxed DAFs around, but having them out like that will satisfy both the storage/home need AND the diorama interest.
Wonder what setting they can fit into? Possibly a lobby or a park? Suggestions welcome ;-D

The greens of a park set up could be relaxing to the eyes.
I like that idea ... a park. I would do a park on a table though to allow more space and to take advantage of natural light from the windows.
I would need two park benches, some trees, some shrubbery, at least one tallish trash can, fake grass mat, maybe a gravel path ....
Thanks Niel.
