WARNING NEKKID PLASTIC DUDE
Santa was so busy bringing me other cool stuff, he forgot my Wizard of Oz doll!
So I bought him my own self. Like a grownup.
Just like Madame Morrible, this doll does a great job of capturing the likeness of the actor. Jeff Goldblum can now come to my house and play with himself! I just love Jeff Goldblum. Almost as much as I love Sam Neill.
But I digress. Here we have The Wizard. He's really leaning into his emerald theme. The chains on his paisley waistcoat are all one plastic piece. There's an eye on his Adam's Apple. And flowers on the long coat. I think poppies, as a nod to the original story.
I was disappointed to see that most of his wardrobe was all one piece. I expected to find the shirt and waistcoat were one, but thought the coat might be separate. Bummer. I wonder if the real Jeff looks this good. I know he did once. I've seen The Fly.
I have it on good authority that this is the same body as the other Wicked dude doll. Jeff (and presumably that other guy) is nicely articulated. Jeff can sit totally upright, an improvement on Mattel's Harry Potter men. I understood why Hagrid has a lean, being a portly fellow, but not the others.
A better look at his shoes and cane.
Anyone who knows me knew this would happen. I just had to turn him in Ian Malcolm. I forgot his shoes, but barefoot is the norm for my dolls anyway. "There will eventually be dinosaurs on the dinosaur tour? Oh, excuse me, Miss Raptor, I didn't see you there."





He is a wonderful doll! Congrats, you've grown up! I was disappointed with the shirt/vest/coat thing, too! I have seen people separate the coat and use fabric for the back of the top. I haven't done it yet, but maybe this year. Having both the Wizard and Fiyero, the bodies are the same, but to me, the Fiyero isn't as pink.
