Wow! I want LOTR dolls now!

[dreamflower]

Those are something else, aren't they?

[shirebound]

Gimli!!

*pets him*

[dreamflower]

Yes...Gimli was, er, different.

*giggle* I suppose he would have gotten along well enough with Scamp! LOL!

[aspenjules.livejournal.com]

*is... dumbfounded*

Gimli was what... a dog?

*shakes head in wonderment*

[dreamflower]

I know. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor!

[aspenjules.livejournal.com]

Oh, and by the way...

SCOTLAND!!! EEEEEEEEE!!!

I am SOOO excited for you!! LOL

Oh.. hey, can I ask a passport question? I vaguely remember something about you needing to get a new one if you gain or lose a certain amount of weight from your passport weight. Am I totally crazy or is that something you remember from getting yours?

[dreamflower]

I don't know, as I was simply getting a new one, so the question didn't come up.

SCOTLAND!! *grin*

Gimli the dog!! How cute!

Those were all so incredible! I want one! (can you guess which one?) ;)

[dreamflower]

Hmmm...Aragorn? *wink*wink*

[gamgeefest.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeerrrmmmm, no. :D lol


btw, I took Sammy to work today and set him on my computer with my other wee friends. He fits right in and is enjoying it there very much! :D

Oh Oh Oh! We had a Betsy McCall paper doll thing when I was a kid where you had a light table and all sorts of patterns you could trace together to design your own clothes and oh oh oh!....

(I don't remember being able to give her a beard, tho...)

[dreamflower]

I used to always cut out the Betsy McCall paper doll in the back of the McCall's Magazine!

And that proves I'm old as dirt. *sigh* Whatever happened to paper dolls? I loved those...

I know Dover has some, but they just aren't quite the same as the ones you used to find in among the coloring books and connect-the-dot books...

[rabidsamfan.livejournal.com]

Now kids have websites like stardolls. I loved paperdolls. They took a certain amount of skill to do anywhere close to right.

OMG, I wish those were for sale! I'd break the bank! I'm still attempting to get my hands on a Frodo Madame Alexander doll. One of these days, one of these days . . .

[dreamflower]

Maybe you will win the lottery!

[telperion1.livejournal.com]

Should I be upset that Gimli was rather more canine than I remember him? ;-)

Anywho.... they were all gorgeous, but especially Eowyn was perfect. And Frofro's eyes! Just gorgeous all around.

[dreamflower]

Yes, I was er, taken aback, to say the least,at Gimli. Perhaps he annoyed Gandalf and had a spell put on him...

[budgielover.livejournal.com]

Um ... it's certainly an interesting idea! You have to admire all the work that went into it (them)!

[dreamflower]

It did look like a good deal of work. It would have been interesting to see the other dolls that were in the competition.

There should have been Merry and Pippin. And Legolas. I'm not sure if a doll could have been found that would work for Gandalf...

[elandulin.livejournal.com]

I LOVED paper dolls! My daughters never quite understood the concept, though...

I especially like Frodo and Sam and Gimli here--too cute!

[poppymuddyfoot.livejournal.com]

These are absolutely adorable! But oh, poor Gimli!

Why can't my doll makeovers ever turn out this cute? But I have to admit I never would have thought to use Tonner dolls. Mine are all Barbie and Ken remakes, which makes the hobbits a touch problematic. (I have thought of using Skipper or Stacy dolls, but they're so skinny!) At the moment I think I'll stick with the Elladin and Elrohir that I'm working on.

As for the paperdoll discussion, I still love them and I have a large collection stored in boxes under my bed. I even found a couple of hobbit dolls on Elfwood.
