Famous-Heroes Color and Play

Here's a box set Colorforms Activity toy which features  Famous-Heroes or more commonly called today, superheros.  This is copyright National Periodical Publications, which I believe is now DC comics and the set is dated 1973. It features: Superman, Superboy, Krypto (the superdog), Aquaman and Aqualad, Batman and Robin, Green Lantern, the Flash, and Wonder Woman.  They are black and white and meant to be colored.  The set comes with 8 Crayola crayons, which are still unused and in the box.  It also says the colors can be wiped off and the figures colored again, but I'm not going to try and see if that works!  The figures also all have stands.

Figurine Paper Doll

My orignal idea for this doll was to use a bell figurine doll to 'ring in the new year' but I didn't find a bell figure that I liked enough as a base.  The doll base is a Josef Original by George Good, the August Birthday that I found on Pinterest.  I changed her outfit to be more plain.  The dresses aren't from any figurines in particular, rather inspired by the general style.  Some items are meant to layer over the yellow dress.  I also gave her a few hairstyles.  Her eyes look a little alien like.  I may do another project like this but actually use Josef figurines as reference for the outfits.

Handmade Paper Dolls from Catalog Pages

Back

These beautiful creative handmade paper dolls are certainly unusual.  The set features four heads with long 'tab's that slip in the back of gowns.  The back of the dresses have a bit of cardboard with a gap for the heads to slip into.  the outfits are most likely cut from old catalog pages and almost all are black and white. If I had to date this, I would say early 1900s pre 1920s.  A very special part of my collection.

I've been very busy! Here are some pics of my non paper doll doll collections.  Some items I took pictures of came out blurry.  I go to the toy store about once a week in search of new interesting dolls.  Nothing has really peaked my interest as of late.  The newer Novi Stars dolls are on my list if they go on sale.  I'm most looking for the "Ever After High" line by Mattel.
