I got 2 new guys recently, one for Christmas and one for my birthday.
I wanted a partner for my repro Enchanted Evening doll, Ava Winter.
In my little world Ava is a 1950's glamorous actress and singer and she needs a 50's handsome escort. So for Christmas I asked for the Rock Hudson doll from the Pillow Talk giftset.
I've named him Brock Hutson. I think he looks a little more like Cary Grant than Rock Hudson but I think he will be a great partner for Ava. I am not sure what his profile will be yet, actor, singer or maybe movie mogul. He definitely needs some clothes though!
I am always on the lookout for articulated male dolls and found this guy. He is from the World Peacekeeper Action/Adventure series. I got him for my birthday.
He's not a bad looking guy and has 30 points of articulation. I thought he might go with my MTM dolls but I think he looks to old for them. I will try them all together in some pictures to see how they look. But he is definitely good arm candy for my Barbie Look and Model Muse dolls if he doesn't work with the others.
I have looked at other World Peacekeeper dolls and most are military (I like the quality of these dolls so may get one of the military ones also) but was glad to see this one came with a surfboard and other beachy accessories. I don't know if he can wear any of my current Ken outfits, maybe a little beefier, will check a few out but I will probably make him some clothes too.
I think these 2 additional dolls bring me up to 160 dolls in the collection! I think it might be time to take a close look at some and maybe start weeding them out to bring it down to a more manageable level. Or else I am going to have to start a one in/one out rule.........we'll see.
1/29/2021 Update: I wanted to see which clothes fit these two guys best or if I will have to custom make them some outfits.
Brock is wearing a Ken outfit from around 2012/2014. It is tight on him but wearable. The Peacekeeper doll is beefier than Brock and the current Ken dolls. He is wearing a Fashion Avenue from late 1990/early 2000 and it is a little tight but good. His problem is his feet....they are wide, large and flat. These orange slid-on sandals were the only shoes I could get on him. Not sure what I am going to do for other shoes for him, maybe he is destined to be a beach bum his entire life.
Thanks for stopping by............................
Thanks for reminding me about the World Peacekeepers dolls. My female dolls here could use some arm candy for themselves!
ReplyDeleteI may get a few more.....they are quite nice.
DeleteLoving Brock Hutson!!! I have a small collection of Ken dolls. Many of them are older (and not well articulated), but each is so different from the other. I think places like the Salvation Army are good places to find them. The only problem is that they don't usually rebody. (Learned this the hard way!) But it's fun to see how your collection is coming together.
