Mystic Rose

This figurine is a cross between the "beautiful red rose" and "mythical unicorn", as they are both "celebrated symbols of love." I personally think it looks like a cross between an angel and a devil, with the "splendid wings" and red finish. This horsey boasts "20 Faux Gems!" Amazing! It also has "shimmery pearlescent finishes"! Yay! Nothing like buzz phrases to get me excited about a sculpture that would litter my shelves, which would eventually be sold in a yard sale for a quarter.

It looks like this pony of "romantic allure" will only be with us for a short time, as it is limited edition with only 95 casting days. I can't say I'm sad. What do you think of The Hamilton Collection's Mystic Rose? Is it crap or treasure?

Whoo Could Be Cuter Than Me?

After accidentally tossing all of this week's ammo, I had to sift through the recycling and rescue it all. That's when I came across this horror doll, ironically named Whoo Could Be Cuter Than Me? It seems that Harry Potter has killed his pet owl and reconfigured the creature into a hat.

This baby is "fully sculpted to capture a baby's irrisistible chubbiness." They spelled irresistible wrong, by the way, if you hadn't noticed. Also, "with his lips adorably pursed to imitate an owl, this little guy is truly a hoot". Chubbiness and owl imitation are not things I normally associate with cute.

This doll is the first in a collection titled "Wild About You", from The Ashton- Drake Galleries. Great. More dolls that "imitate favorite animal friends".

To build some suspense, I ask you to guess the price of this doll. Winner will get bragging rights to exercise whenever they wish on this blog. No peeking on The Ashton- Drake website! I will reveal the cost and the winner next week. T0 be a proper contender when you comment, be sure to not sign in anonymous, for obvious reasons. Here's a hint: guess a larger amount than what you would pay.
