Also in the garage sale action figure haul: plain ole single-jointed, no-molded-clothes GI Joes. I kind of prefer this to the super-articulated one to be honest, if only because two of my three SA Joes have had their elbows disintegrate while sitting on my shelf. At least these guys are sturdy.

Anyway, Kocoum here is another “didn’t have a color match for a long time” head. The body looks a lot closer in real life than it does in this photo. OTL He seriously needs paint and styling (look how frizzy that top part is), but I’m way more inspired to do it after @dolljunk‘s great Kocoum. 

*insert meme here*

I got ahold of some awesome early-mid 2000’s action figure stuff from a garage sale recently ad have been looking to the best ways to put it to use. This Blaine head is actually one of the very oldest dolls in my collection, but he’s the tan version and darker-skinned posable Kens are in pretty short supply. One of the garage sale finds was the later 21st Century body, though, and it is a perfect skintone match. I really like the body too; it’s a lot more natural than other playline 1/6 I have, except for the hugest double hinge joints on the elbows and knees. Can’t win em all, I guess. Anyway, his neck’s short and I’ll probably space it out somehow but for now I’m content to finally have him be able to sit on my shelf.

Still trying to decide who gets the pale MTM body. Just wasn’t feeling Lois Lane. Here we have Stardoll and Gillian. I like the proportions of the Stardoll; she has a smaller-than-average head and the hybrid looks pretty high-end imo. On the other hand, I’ve had Gillian a long time and the posing makes her face feel more expressive. Indecisiveness.
