Twilight: The official reveal of Tonner Jasper (which I grabbed pictures of last week). The more I look at this, the more I am convinced that this will actually be a good likeness in person. As opposed to...
The Vampire Diaries: What. What. What is this. What. I don't even watch the show and what. What is this. Terrifying, is what this is.
I guess the Elena's good. I keep meaning to watch the show but haven't, so I wouldn't know.
Harry Potter: Blue School Uniform Fleur. I've also heard that a Viktor Krum is on the way. No plans for a Cedric, AFAIK, which baffles me. I mean, since it's a larger scale doll, I guess they'd have to go back to a certain very beleaguered actor to get his permission for the likeness again, and he may have decided that he is Done With All This. Because I have to imagine that Tonner knows how well it would sell. They can't just be like, "Nah, we already have a lot of dolls, we don't actually need the money."
DC Stars: A new Catwoman (goggles!), Wonder Woman, Raven (I'm not familiar with this character?), Dove (ditto?), Black Canary, and... Starfire. That's... quite an outfit there.
Disney Princess Collection: Pink Dress Ariel, which you don't usually see; a Jasmine that looks incredibly, incredibly off. Yeah... that is not going to be approved.
Freedom for Fashion: A line of Japanese fashion dolls ("Explore the fast-paced streets of Tokyo"). Tonner's usually so good at putting out a variety of skin colors and ethnicities (the Mei Li fashion doll sculpt is clearly different from the Japanese dolls' features, even), so I absolutely cannot explain that Jasmine face. Although the fact that the Jasmine reuses "the Snow White head sculpt" might be our first problem.
Meanwhile, I am sure you are all aware that this is a very important day.
@bestforfilm: Silence of The Lambs 20th anniversary is TODAY - pop open a nice Chianti with your lover & watch that romantic fear blossom
@cleolinda: @bestforfilm I confess, it is my favorite movie.
@bestforfilm: @cleolinda glorious film. Glorious. Anthony Hopkins' Maniacal Stare: Be my Valentine.
@cleolinda: @bestforfilm I first saw it when I was about 14. Clarice Starling (and thence Dana Scully) rapidly became my model for life.
I am unusually at peace with the occasion, actually. Also, do not forget Discount Chocolatemas tomorrow.
And Elena and Jasmine both look like they have the same weirdly stretched wide face.
On the plus side, cheap chocolate soon YAY.
*starts playing Howard Shore's score*
NO!
Starfire...um.. hair's not poofy enough and she's not built enough Dove.
From the Hawk and Dove series. I...uh.. looks like she went anorexic... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hawk_and_Dove2.jpg
Also, re: the DC Dolls . . . Starfire needs to reconsider her hair & makeup decisions. Never have I seen a leotard and frosty lipstick clash so mightily with impossibly colored hair. Good lord that's an awful combination.
also I deleted this comment before because I accidentally posted it under an RP account, sorry!
I think one of the problems with Jasmine is she looks like her face is fat. And also the wrong color, of course.
(One of my favourite movies ever, incidentally.)
At least Raven and Starfire are Teen Titans.
