Willa

 I remember Zombies from a few years ago.  It was on one of the Disney channels or services.  Nothing about it appealed to me, not even the dolls I saw in stores.  Therefore I know next to nothing about this franchise.  Less even than I knew about Nightmare Before Christmas on my last review.

MyFroggyStuff recently reviewed three new dolls from that line.  From Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires.  Two of the dolls are blondes with a bad case of Vapid Face.  But Willa... 

If Sally was little-goth-on-the-prairie, Willa is gothic mountaineer.

I guess she's a werewolf.  Her last name has "Lycan" in it and the box mentions she's the leader of the pack. There's a wolf on her belt buckle.

Girl's got some hair!  

Her bicep wrap and rope bracelet came off with the packaging.  Necklace and belt were not on her person.  I'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume the necklace is a moonstone amulet of great power. 

Several tattoos on her arms.  You can also get a gander at that beautiful shirt and the bracelets that stayed put.  The tattoos look like art from a certain Disney Princess who shares ethnicity with a certain other-franchise lycanthrope.  

She goes to the same hair stylist as Bellatrix.

MyFroggyStuff says that's makeup, but she's my doll and I say it's facial tattoos like Midna's.  

Pointy ears like Midna.  (Midna is a Fairytopia Sunburst, by the way, rebodied.)

Disney ily 4EVER

WARNING NEKKID DOLL BOOBIES

RUN FOR THE HILLS 

I haven't bought any of the Disney ily 4EVER dolls for a couple of reasons.  One, they are ridiculously expensive.  I don't even want to think about the price of the Disney Store versions.  The Jakks Pacific play line ones are more than a Barbie with more articulation.  Two, the only ily thing I've seen that really fired me up is this fashion pack.  Which I did buy.  Don't ask the price.

 They're based on the tradition of Disney Bounding, in which a guest at the amusement park dresses "inspired by" a favorite character as a way to circumvent rules against adults in actual costume.  None of them floated my boat until I spotted this gal. 

I didn't buy her but kept eyeballing her.  The high price was mitigated for me by the second outfit, but still more than I was willing to pay.  Today I found her in the Clearance aisle for less than 20!  You know she hopped right in my cart.

Some of the outfits don't strike me as practical for a day at the amusement park!

 I must confess I have never seen Nightmare Before Christmas.  What struck me about this doll was the whole Little-Goth-On-The-Prairie thing she has going on.  Unlike most of the dolls in this line, this gal bears a passing resemblance to her inspiration. I'm just going to go ahead and call her Sally.

Her earrings (which are removable) look like Jack Skellington.  Her hair tangles badly around that gray coming out of his noggin.  I might snip that - the gray, not the hair.

Here she is in her second outfit.

She has molded on panties and lots of articulation.  You know I gotta have them knees and elbows!

Her coffin shaped bag opens.  The necklace features the curvy hill I see in much of the Nightmare merchandising and the purse charm looks like Jack's ghost dog.  The clutch purse doesn't open and the handle has the ghost dog and a Jack head.  I could not manage a decent picture of it, but that's some cool detail.  The clutch makes me think of Yzma (Wrong movie, Kronk!).

Phoebe (a reissue Barbie and the Rockers doll) is similar in articulation.  Sally's head and feet are  larger, but that's okay.  A lot of my dolls have more realistically sized feet than Barbie.  And Sally's head ain't bigger than her torso like certain (freaky) doll lines I could name.  Jakks Pacific does dolls well.
