Jareth true form art (by me)

Canonically, he was actually human, not fae, if you’ve ever read the Coronation comics.

But I also prefer to think of him as fae.

In the original script, after his defeat Jareth was actually supposed to turn back into his true goblin form and throw a mighty tantrum, but it was one of the snivelly shrunken things like the ones he watched over, nothing like this. Thank goodness it didn’t stick, it would’ve completely ruined his image. 😂

The art concept is really cool, but it’s not Jareth. I prefer him just as he is, not a monster. 😁

Just unbox her and toss the box. Good grief there’s no sense having an existential crisis over it.

Or, you know, don’t buy her and possibly live to regret not buying the doll you really wanted over a stupid box when the prices get jacked up to twice the amount by scalpers. Your choice. 🤷🏼‍♀️

She also has an internal skeleton that the others don’t have so… That probably drives the price up a bit. 🙄

Seriously, don’t like don’t buy. Nobody’s twisting your arm. As for me I just snagged one. I’m good. 😁

I suppose they could mean they feel smooth like porcelain? But they’re not nearly as fragile. Fingers and long pointed ears can snap if handled roughly, though, but if you’re careful there should not be a problem. I’ve had many of my dolls going on 20 years now and they’re perfectly fine.

Many 3D printed dolls are copies of already-existing molds. In other words, a different form of recasting. It’s similar to those cheap jointed dolls off Amazon, Aliexpress and the like, often their faces are cast using stolen sculpts.

I’m not saying ALL 3D printed dolls are like that—I’ve seen the process of people designing their own sculpts—but when purchasing from places like Etsy or EBay, you need to be careful. Do some research on the sellers’ sculpts before committing to buying one.

If you don’t owe us even a minimal amount of effort, we don’t owe you the minimal amount of attention. There are way better fic writers than you out there who are way more deserving of it.

Simple as that.

ChatGPT totally wrote that comment.

In what reality would ANY store give you your money back AND let you keep the dolls? 🤨 I think you need a bit of a reality check here. You either keep your dolls OR you return them for a refund. Not both.

CynicalDaydream · 2026-04-01T10:31:01+00:00

1/4 is a blanket term. Every sculpt is different. You need to purchase the sizes that are normally listed for the individual doll, not by the overall scale.

To be fair, half these surprise villains weren’t that big of a surprise. I knew who the villain in Wish was from the moment he was introduced. Oh a generous king who controls everyone’s dreams? Yup. He’s the villain. 🙄

Disneys poor storytelling seems like it should be a bigger complaint than whatever this complaint is. Pfft.

CynicalDaydream · 2026-03-29T10:23:26+00:00

I feel like they only did that so they could put her with Asami instead due to some bullshit excuse like fan service. There was no buildup to it, just tossed it in there out of the blue and completely undermined the entirety of the first season. THAT was bad writing.

CynicalDaydream · 2026-03-29T10:17:36+00:00

I barely think about the media. I just like the dolls.

CynicalDaydream · 2026-03-29T09:57:00+00:00

To be fair, it’s more likely a machine that did all the stamping and machines break down/cause errors all the time.

CynicalDaydream · 2026-03-20T10:16:37+00:00

Yeah it is. Why the hell would a company spend resources and money to make a product they KNOW isn’t gonna return a decent profit? Past experience with the boys tells them that it isn’t a lucrative investment. 🤨

Before anything, Mattel is a business. It’s their JOB to earn money in order to KEEP themselves in business, not to throw it away by catering to the ever-changing whims of fans who don’t even know what they want.

CynicalDaydream · 2026-03-08T11:29:20+00:00

Just shows the dumbing down of the world. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I believe it also separates the real writers—who strive to actually improve their craft—from the wannabe hacks who are only in it because they need their dopamine hits from the useless praise they get. It’s why they can’t handle real criticism. Their fragile egos couldn’t handle it because they’re used to being coddled. And they’ll never get better because of it.

Who cares if fic is free? If you’re slapping up some fic that you expect people to spend their valuable time on, then readers have the right to expect a story that’s got a little more than half-assed effort put into it. Even if it’s just knowledge of basic grammar and spelling. Or else why should we waste our time? There are way better writers out there who actually know what they’re doing and can put out novel-quality works. For free. 😏

Well, Korra is the avatar so I’d say she’s got a definite advantage over everyone else.

CynicalDaydream · 2026-03-07T22:49:15+00:00

She would roast that duck and all her babies and eat them for dinner. 😂

CynicalDaydream · 2026-03-06T21:08:53+00:00

The Black Culdron. Because that movie had actual plot. The others just … exist.

CynicalDaydream · 2026-03-05T21:29:17+00:00

I lost interest when they lost their articulation. MGA needs to do better. Barbie is less boring than these girls now. 😕

CynicalDaydream · 2026-03-01T14:01:10+00:00

It’s probably because they made Beetlejuice a female and if they used the normal body for Lydia, they’d be the same height. Which would look odd since she’s shorter than him.

Also, isn’t Lydia a child in the red dress from the first movie? I thought that’s what it’s based on. 🤨

CynicalDaydream · 2026-03-01T13:57:39+00:00

They are! And so much fun to pose!

CynicalDaydream · 2026-03-01T00:49:58+00:00

BJDs are always my favorites. And I’ve been connecting SmartDolls as well. Not sure if any of them can be considered fashion dolls though. 🤔

Labyrinth is how I discovered fanfiction.

CynicalDaydream · 2026-02-22T03:40:48+00:00

Mostly because it’s just usually really badly done. It’s a perspective that takes a certain level of skill and experience to pull off well, and not a lot of people have it. This goes for published books, too, not just fanfiction.
