Oprah Doll Stats

Portrait Doll of Oprah as a Child (presented to Oprah by Marie Osmond on the November 9, 2007 Oprah show)

According to my blog's statistics, Portrait Doll of Oprah as a Child, was one of yesterday's top viewed blogs.  After discovering this, I Googled "Oprah doll" just for kicks.

Featured in the December 2010 issue of O Magazine and on Oprah.com is a portrait doll of little Oprah by Andrea Arcello.  The doll is quite lifelike.  Except for its paler-than-Oprah's complexion, the doll captures little Oprah's essence.  View tje video, The Making of Little Oprah by Andrea Arcello by clicking/pressing the play arrow, below.



Finally, here is a link to a Google.com image search for "Oprah doll."

World Peacekeepers Navy Seals

World Peacekeepers 1:6 scale action figures by M and C Toys

Top:  Navy Seal (NS) Tunnel Hunter

Bottom:  Navy Seal Special OPs

The NS Tunnel Hunter remains part of my collection (as shown in today's previous blog).  The NS Special OPs figure had curiously flat feet, designed to accommodate fins.  I returned him to Big Lots.  Both were purchased there in September 2009 to redress and pair up with playscale females.  I stored Tunnel Hunter's weapons.  He remains dressed in his original military garb.  His female counterpart admires a man/him in uniform... or did.

As noted in today's previous blog, NS Tunnel Hunter proposed to Sunshine Opal this past February.  Opal accepted, but for the past six weeks, at least, he's been mingling with Asha, looking rather dejected, holding an empty ring box (?). 

Did he and Opal part ways?  Did Opal keep the ring?  Is Asha there to console or make her move?  I haven't heard any commotion in the doll room, so I don't know what's really going on.
