Well, roads were a bit slick
this morning, but the sun’s out, and the road out front is actually dry. So I
guess we really are back to normal. Beloved Hubby’s back to work, and I have an
epically messy kitchen to clean up. I was raised with a superstition over
taking down Christmas decorations before New Year’s, so I’m really looking forward to Saturday !
Meanwhile, I’m spacing out
the fun a bit by deboxing a doll every day ‘til I’m out of new dolls. Which will
be on Thursday. Six new dolls for Christmas is a pretty big haul ! Especially
considering that wasn’t all I got – my new office chair is scheduled to arrive
tomorrow, too. Hmm. . . .think I’ll substitute the chair for tomorrow’s debox,
so I can space out doll deboxings through Friday. I feel so rich !
While
Elsa and Anna were on my Amazon wish list, Beloved went off-menu with Kristoff.
He told me he looked at all of them and liked Disney Store Exclusive Kristoff
best, for his pensive expression. I have to agree. At first I thought he had a
Leno-level chin, but it actually works for this doll. While his box simply
reads ‘Kristoff’ on the front – with photos of Elsa, Anna, and Olaf on the back
– the box liner reads ‘Prince Kristoff’ ! Wonder if that’s a spoiler. . .
You actually have to untie
his gloves to get them off, and they fit neatly into his hat. I’m impressed
with the hat’s details. While I wish his coat and turtleneck were separate,
they look nice together, and the sewn-on ribbon belt looks great. The separate pants are full length - they actually go to his ankles ! He has
painted on blue underwear, hinge-style elbow joints on rotating shoulders, and
click-type knee joints with standard hips and a yes/no neck joint. With his
heavy winter clothes, all of that is hard to tell ! I’m not terribly fond of
the grey splotches in his hair, but they’ll probably grow on me. While I didn’t
think I wanted a Kristoff – much less a Prince Kristoff ! – I love the one I
have. I’m sure Anna will, when I debox her Thursday !
