The Man Cave

I created a place for my guys and girls to hang out. It's called The Man Cave. Expect to see lots of goings on here!

Don't worry, the Man Cave is not a men's only club. It's a great hangout for everyone.

As we near the end of 2015 I am well aware that I let this blog fall by the wayside. I haven't been ignoring my dolls...just this blow. I promise to do better. I'm going to slowly bring this blog up-to-date with all that I've been doing with my dolls. The most exciting news is that I've discovered action figures! I love the adult look and not the "teenager" look of my Mattel dolls. The main issue I have with them is that their bodies are so much more muscular than the Mattel dolls which required custom drafted patterns for fit. The second issue is their feet. I do have a selection of shoes but only combat type boots. I've already broken a foot on one guy because of the vise-like fit. Not an all the way bad thing because it made me venture into making shoes! I'll leave you with a few pictures and promise to return with more frequency!

The Chippendales

These are my guys auditioning for a spot in the Chippendales' Review. Someone didn't make the cut. Do you know which one?

Someone needs to get to the gym!

The Dreaded Pink Cars

The pink Barbie cars drive me crazy. I couldn't stand it any long. My plan is to paint all of my pink cars-maybe not the remote control Corvette--some other color. This is my first attempt. If I must say so myself I did a great job!
