-Skelita. Thanks to pukunui, every time I see her, I can only think of Michael Jackson.
Hmmm I can't really say i hate any dolls for design/character reasons. However, I am extremely vexed by Skelita. The first one I bought, her leg snapped off, I got a replacement. This new one though, she stands in the most awkwardly way! I believe it's due to the malleable plastic, stiff knee joints, and stiff neck joint (she only looks up) that makes her look like she's swaying back to look at the ceiling all the time, it annoys me to no end!!! And since the first Skelita broke, I'm so afraid of breaking the new one I lose the enjoyment of posing her. So I don't really hate her, I just hate the way her design was executed.

I love Operetta, but the one thing that bothers me about most of her releases is the whole gambling theme (dice, playing cards). It just doesn't really make sense; what does gambling have to do with the Phantom of the Opera?

It just doesn't really make sense; what does gambling have to do with the Phantom of the Opera?From her southern voice to the references to the Old Oprey, they're very much painting her as strong ties to the south/New Orleans/1950s/Rockabilly, which ties her to both riverboat gambling, and a big rebel thing to do was cards and dice games. It's just more of the rockabilly aspect, as I interpret it. Same with the spiders- OG was never linked to them. Big scary iron trees, candles, and pianos yes, but no spiders.

I think Operetta would look REALLY awesome in a black or red gown with a scorpion/grasshopper print, but I guess that would go way over little kids' heads
