It's time to kill braincells by killing time. Or something? Anyway. Because it was early and I had little to do that couldn't be immediately shut down if the storm worsened, I stumbled across this:






And I tried it, despite only giving a damn about two of the fandoms involved and this happened:
species: trickster
best friend: Jim Moriarty
roommate: Bruce Banner
1st Kiss: Bruce Banner (awkward?)
Boyfriend: Loki
Murderer: Jim Moriarty

My amusement levels were high.


Oh, and then this happened. Caroline's stuff appeared online yesterday:

There's the previously released image.


And Caroline with her book, Meet Caroline. I want this outfit. I want this book. You can keep the doll, Mattel. But thank you anyway.


Yes. She's on a boat. I mean, uh, she gets a boat. I don't really get it, other than her father is a shipbuilder and she's got a nautical theme, but yes. Boat. If you're so inclined, that is. Also? I love how they mimicked water for this. It's just prettier the more you look at it.


And a parlor. Essentially she gets a room. A room with no furniture, but she gets a room! A room I have furniture for already!
*flails and dies* It's going to be so expensive and I will be powerless to resist. *weeps*


That is all.

They have got to do something about that hair. The more I look at it, the worse it appears. And the doll looks nothing like the character. Now, granted, I haven't been into AG since it was owned by the Pleasant Company, but when, exactly, did they give up at least the pretense of trying?

*needs my Judgin' You icon SO BAD*

*thinks* You know, one day I'm going to have to sit down and have a "doll vs book" thing to see when exactly they did give up. Because the last few releases, historical or otherwise, have barely even tried.

There's something about this wig, in any color, that makes it difficult for AG to photograph. It's worse on the redheads, if that even seemed possible.

Maxie there is doing a good job of judging. *nods*

the Caroline has landed. (A mommy blogger got one to review. Beware special photography.)

I... think I feel comfortable in my stance of "thank you, but no. No. No."

D: OMG, it looks even worse in person! I didn't think that was possible o.O

I know! I fully expected it to be one of those things where the product they use to keep it neat for stock photos and overzealous 'shopping had just created an unfortunate look. Apparently not.
