If they were flat-footed they probably would not be taller than the Joes. True, no woman likes to be restricted to flats all the time so she doesn't overshadow her mate but if size matters, then the relative size of Joe's feet compared to Ken's might be indicative of another anatomical advantage on the Joe's side!limbe dollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704328250988686700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-68398293381643126322011-06-01T05:02:03.940-05:002011-06-01T05:02:03.940-05:00I don't share my inner doll thoughts with my h...I don't share my inner doll thoughts with my husband... which may be one reason he understands my passion as much as he "thinks" he does. <br /><br />Actually the Joes didn't wake me. I get up at 3:30 a.m. or thereabouts every morning anyway... it's just that they were the first thing on my mind. My son's Joes, were. They were the only ones I did no place back into their positions of display after the comparison ended. I left them lying flat in the "studio" where I photographed them. My thoughts this morning were whether I should incorporate them into my collection or put them back in my son's toy storage bin. <br /><br />I hope you win the auction you're hovering over. I know that feeling all too well. <br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-49940272156786571152011-06-01T04:46:03.719-05:002011-06-01T04:46:03.719-05:00Hey, I woke up at 3:48am thinking I had gotten a f...Hey, I woke up at 3:48am thinking I had gotten a full night sleep after falling asleep well after midnight. Imagine my surprise. I have been conversing with another insomniac from Canada for the past 2 hrs. Waiting to try to win an ebay bid at 8am. My GI Joe is not as stern looking as your men. DJ Rohan has a pretty mild expression, but killer eyes. Sad when you GI Joes are waking you in the middle of the night. What does your husband say about this craziness?

Their original purchase intent was not to pair them up with females, but I wanted to know for sure, what I could do with them if these plans ever changed. My thought about them this morning (with their stern facial features that indicate they will kick butt and take names) was would I really want to pair them up with my females or would the females want to be paired up with guys who appear angry all the time? Some might, but for now my girls will remain with the more mild mannered, already loose ones: WPK, Omega, Tyr, Darren, and a couple of Steven/Kens. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-26544592541178678572011-05-31T21:16:22.459-05:002011-05-31T21:16:22.459-05:00Dear East Philly Joes - Sometiimes size does matte...Dear East Philly Joes - Sometiimes size does matter.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-1974786100383340192011-05-31T20:40:18.940-05:002011-05-31T20:40:18.940-05:00Yo Ladies!

But I guess the other manufacturers are guilty of misleading measurements. It appears they all round up to the closest whole or half number as in the case of Desiree who is taller than 11-1/2 inches. Dayle, Darren, and Tyr are the only true 12 inchers in the group.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-28630647194122723612011-05-31T18:02:20.954-05:002011-05-31T18:02:20.954-05:00Thanks for that post.

They have such a nice variety of men. I don't mind having a couple of short men in the bunch, but my ladies also prefer them tall.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.com
