Power Girl in 3D

Tonner now has a Power Girl doll. I hadn't seen the pic before. I wish the suit wasn't a thong because that looks very odd on an articulated doll. I'm not sure what art it was based on, but it sure isn't Amanda Connor's. I wish it was, though.

Catwoman

She's not an action figure and she'll cost much more than an action figure, but I so want this upcoming Tonner Catwoman doll.

Barbie Black Canary

I tried to leave this comment over at Blogs@Newsrama, but it wouldn't publish, so I'm posting it here. The subject is the controversy over the upcoming Black Canary Barbie collectors doll.

I think some people look for things to complain about, even if they have to create the problem. Black Canary looks like that. It's a nice doll. It's for adult collectors, but I have no problem with teens and pre-teens owning her.

Impossible proportions? Barbies are almost realistic next to Bratz dolls that have been giving Barbie and Mattel a run for their money.

There are far worse things out there, in ads, etc., that promote things that can harm girls re: body image (boys, too) than Barbie. I grew up with Barbie (still have my Midge and Allan from the '60s) and I knew I didn't have to look like her. It was the comparison of breast size in school and camp locker rooms with my peers that was far more harmful.

She's a lovely doll. And I happen to love fishnets. They're very flattering. I just can't wear them anymore because I keep tearing them.
