Musical interlude from our Nukes.

Another moan about the newer dolls with their garish, bug-eyed face-up. The old-style Draculaura was pouting and sensuous. The new one - well, as dolls go, she’s not bad. Her fangs are that bit more obvious and, if the earlier doll had never existed, she would be a perfectly delightful doll. But put the two together… Oh dear. New-style Draculaura’s expression implies that Van Helsing just staked her somewhere very painful.
A bit out of my usual line, but I couldn’t resist. This action figure was licensed by Hammer films in 2004 - Christopher Lee in Dracula, Prince of Darkness . The paint on the nose is slightly chipped, I blurred that digitally. Otherwise the doll was intact & boxed with all accessories. Without that flaw, I doubt if I could have afforded it.
“So anyway, we had that Gandalf over for a party, and he crashed on the sofa. And now he just won’t leave! Has nobody told him that guests and fish stink after three days? He’s not even much fun at a party, to be honest. No social skills whatsoever. No small talk. I wish he’d just go back to Narnia or wherever it is he comes from. He’s behind me, isn’t he?”
