My Answer To The Favecrafts Blog Question – What Was Your Worst Crafting Disaster?
 

On January 20, 2010 I received an email from Caley Walsh, Editorial Director, of Favecrafts.com asking if I would be interested in answering the Monthly Craft Question over at FaveCraftsBlog . The question was: What was your worst crafting disaster? I thanked Caley for asking me to participate and responded: I am happy to participate, but have to tell you that I’m answering with both tears of joy and tears of sorrow at a sweet remembrance of a mother teaching her daughter to sew.

What Were They Thinking? Part II
 

I let this image sink in for two days before I wrote this post. When I first received the email containing the pictures of this new Avant Guard doll, Hot Trot, I thought of the Inferno Vita doll with her fire orange streaked hair and black eyes. The more I looked at this doll, the worse she gets.

Recognizing Dummy Dunnys With TOYSREVIL
 

On my recent trip to Bandung, Indonesia last October 2009, I managed to score myself a “Dummy” Dunny aka bootleg ! While bootlegs have existed for quite a while now, this is the first time I’ve personally come across one, in hand … unfortunately there was only one single box left taunting me from the toyshop display shelf (yes, I would have bought them all, to use as custom parts, of course), and all I can do now is to present to you, my dear faithful readers, a visual-guide to bootleg Dunnys LOL ~ CLICK THRU for more! PACKAGING-BOX : The box itself was perhaps the funniest aspect of the bootleg figure ~ featuring one-part Dunny, one-part “Dalek-series”, complemented with a wallpaper-ish design and pseudo-legit “Kidrobot” trademarks and all at the base.
