Greetings Pat,
There are a lot of relatively cheap male dolls out now with great faces, tho some, esp. to do with the military are downright mean & scary looking.
I completely forgot about another male doll I have, forgot about him because he's in a diorama on the bottom shelf of my curio. He's a hunting dude - you want to see a scary face? I'll have to take a picture of him. He's drinking beer while game warden Candi (hispanic lacy secrets) is ready to arrest him. He could easily fit in a prison diorama. Dh got him at a hunting store in Michigan, I think it was Cabelo's? The detailing on his gear is amazing, clothes the quality of vintage Barbie. I think about driving the 5 hours to Michigan just to get another one. I've looked on ebay with no success.
This year, try to find the time to have a Xmas scene with the dolls. It can be as simple as dressing them in their finery & making a party scene with just a few props like small drinking glasses & food...
Thanks for the suggestion Pat.
I've ignored my Candi's lately (never was much of a Barbie collector) since I found the Tyler dolls. But it's so difficult to find diorama items for those bigger dolls. I have kept all my Candis because I have so many odds and ends for dioramas and can always find more.
I even had them in a bathroom once...next to the sink there's a large area where I usually have my perfume/ pretty bottle collection...people, even the men, got a kick out of that one.. ..Pat H.
Now that's creative! But alas, with cats I'm limited to the curios. I love making dioramas just as much as the cats love playing with the pieces. sigh.
