The bigger they are...the harder they Doll

This post goes out to my dolly lovin' bloggin' brethren. Specifically Reis, Colin, John, Jboy, and the MIA yet sorely missed Chunky B, Brian A and Brian B. I've given all these guys as much guff as humanly possible for their love of dollies and tea parties and the color pink. And they've all taken it pretty well. Although I often ponder whether or not Chunky B is still with us or if he was buried under an avalanche of Barbie Corvettes during a freak dollyvalanche in his dollroom in rural Texas.

I digress.

Gentlemen, this post is for you!

I bought a girl dolly:


I bought a girl dolly dressed in animal print.

I bought a Wonder Woman villain dolly.

I bought Cheetah.

"I bought a dolly, and I'm here to recruit you!"

I expect the comments section to light up with wit and hilarity; and maybe even some re-written song lyrics. Anything less will disappoint me greatly.

Come on, 'guys,' - let 'er rip!

Full genuine review to follow someday soon. I'll even include the best comments!

Toy Tip #368

The Tommy Gun that comes with Batman: The Brave and the Bold Solomon Grundy makes a pretty nice weapon for the Retro Action Two-Face dolly.

I heart dollies :: I HATE DOLLIES

Do not adjust your monitors. It's true. I bought a dolly yesterday. NO I DIDN'T! Yes I did! NO! NO! I DID NOT!

I got a little birthday money this past weekend and had seen this Retro Action Two-Face at a local Toys R Us express last week. I seriously considered buying him at the time but didn't - I was lucky that he was still there when I returned. A lone Two-Face among a bunch of Batmans and Aquamans.

Apparently Black Manta is also part of this release, but there was no sign of him. And although I was tempted to get Batman, I could only get one and Two-Face is a way cooler toy - partly because he never actually appeared in the original Mego line this Retro-Action line is based upon.

He's also one of the best silver-age looking Two-Face toys ever made. Look at that suit!

Sweet tie, Dent. And look at that split face! So comic booky and awesome - I like the green! What a cool dolly.

I AM NOT A DOLLY! I AM AN ACTION FIGURE!

My pants are removable. I am a dolly. Case closed.

As many others have reported regarding these Retro Action dolls, my Two-Face dolly also has the hunched back and super loose hips these guys tend to suffer from. Fortunately for Two-Face, his clothes are thick enough to support the loose joints and cover the other physical maladies.

And I'm glad about that, because he's a very fun toy! Very old-school looking in both sculpt and toy design. Two-Face truly lives up to the 'Retro' moniker.

I am a changed man, people. NO I'M NOT! I love this dolly. IT'S CRAP! I really think Two-Face is a cool dolly toy and recommend him to everyone. I HATE HIM!

I will hug him and squeeze him and call him Harvey. I WILL KICK HIM AND STUFF FIRECRACKERS DOWN HIS PANTS AND CALL HIM AN AMBULANCE!
