Here is an update on DBG's Black Doll Collecting Django scoop from last month.
Are you a Jaime Fox or Leonardo DiCaprio fan? If you are, you might want to grab these Enterbay sixth scale figures. If the promotional photos are accurate, these new figures will have excellent likenesses. Yes, the figures are based on the actors' Django Unchained roles, but avid fans might be willing to ignore the story source for the excellent likenesses. Hold your breath for the cost - $199.99 each before postage - but these figures are like art so you can consider them investments as well as fun figures.
Any buyers? I won't be because I am not that fond of either of the actors. They're good actors, but they don't rate that expense for me at this time.
Brotherly love in playscale: finding diversity in fashion dolls and action figures from the 1960s to now: Barbie, Fashion Royalty, Momoko, Susie, GI Joe, Power Team, Mixis.

Finding a New Home for Webshots Photos
I am seeking a new online photo album site that I can use to replace my lost Webshots Albums. I have considered and discounted Flickr, Photobucket, and Picasa. Flickr would create a new bill for expanded services because they limit the photos. Plus I already have photos there. Photobucket seems to require the viewers to have an account there. (Annoying, that.) Picasa is full of my blog photos; I do not want to overload that account. So, I am open to new online photo sites.
Or perhaps I should create a blog with just photos? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

A New Year, A New Body: Toy Island’s C.J. Parker Gets Movement
Toy Island produced a trio of Baywatch dolls around 1997. The dolls were to represent the three main characters of that once popular show Baywatch: C.J. Parker, Lt. Mitch Buchannon, and Lt. Stephanie Holden. I may have watched the show ONCE – beach bimbos and himbos never interested me – but I bought C.J. Parker doll. She was about $5.00. New doll face and reduced price = good find and buy to me. The doll does not look like Pamela Anderson. But I rather liked the doll’s look. She looked athletic and maybe a little mean. Ta da – a gym teacher born.
Since then, the doll has been the gym teacher most of the teenagers dread. I was not completely happy with her though. While her original body had a healthy, wholesome look, it had limited movement. Gym teacher dolls ought to be able to pose. Right? So, I decided to upgrade her to a poser Barbie body. Perfect Pink Teresa’s body, precisely. So here are some photos of the transformation:
Perfect Pink Teresa (Mattel) and C.J. Parker (Toy Island) side by side. Drum roll ....
Pam's head removed. Oh, my what a large knob!
Alas, her foot is larger. She will no longer wear those lovely sneakers she had. Flavas' sneakers these are. Sigh, but such sacrifices must be made for the sake of better articulation. She isn't the Cinderella type anyway.
Hello, Pam! She can work her body now. So her neck is not graceful due to that large head hole descending over a Barbie-body neck. Shrug. But she can make those couch potato and wallflower students a miserable run. Bwwwaaahhhh hhhaaaa!

Moderation of Comments ... Change
I have been considering allowing comments to go without moderation. If the comments are recent. Older comments will need to be cleared by me. On the plus side, your comments are submitted quicker. So if I am not online, you can still see your comment. Others can see your comment. This will be good news for some of you - cough, Vanessa, lol - and leave others indifferent. Yes, I am loosening the chains. Hope that change inspires more comments.
On the other hand, I still need to check that the comments are relevant. So for those wanting to leave links about mail order brides or sports stuff, please note: I will delete off-topic posts UNLESS those posts are submitted by "known" doll enthusiasts. Wait, mail order bride and sports stuff will be deleted period. Fair, hmm?
Any comments about comments?
