Meet Kidz N Cats Mike!

Warning: Long Post.

Sorry for the lack of posts with pics. We have been trying to edit Mike ones we had loaded in Photobucket and it is acting horrid. It seems to only want to work with pics that are already edited. It doesn't want to edit them in PB. Arrrrggghhhh!

So awhile back we showed you Jakob of the Kidz n Cats line. This post here: http://thedollwardrobe.blogspot.com/2012/02/meet-kidz-n-cats-jakob.html

Today we show you Mike. He is from a newer line of the Kidz n Cats brand with a different, softer, smoother wig. Also, his eyelashes are less full than Jakob's, and he has more joint articulation.

Here he is in his box, lost in his own hair.

Barely able to see...

Legs are very stiff. Notice his super-cute shoes.

Out of the box. Looking slightly startled. That is his normal look.

Still startled, but also amused.

Eyeball close-up.

Wig from the side.

Jakob's wig - you can't see it very easily here but his wig actually has strings in it. And I think you can tell it is drier and stiffer than Mike's from the pics alone.

Mike's jacket.

Pants, hat, sunglasses.

With hat and sunglasses on.

Showing arm flexibility. Mike has articulation at his wrists, which Jakob does not have.

From the side, including tattoo.

His tattoo close-up.

Posing with Kenna, while she wears his jacket. 

The arms are rather tight on her. But it still mostly works.

Posing with Jakob, who sports a new Kidz n Cats outfit.

All of the Kidz n Cats clothing we have is very well-made and detailed. 

We definitely recommend the outfits if you have these dolls.

Alrighty then!

We finally got all the pictures posted!

Huzzah! Huzzah!

Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions!

We Are Super-Excited!

Our balloon of excitement may burst soon. But for now we are super-excited! 

And we will revel in it. ;-)

Why are we excited? 

The first 18" boy dolls to ever live in Badger's Wood will be arriving soon.

Whaaa?! 

Yeah, boys. With their boy cooties. Penny says boys don't really have cooties... But Maple said she would conduct some scientific experiments upon their arrival to find out the truth.

Penny is excited about these two new dolls: Kidz n Cats Jakob and Mike. She has always wanted boy dolls, but whenever she sees any they don't catch her eye. When people customize an AG girl doll into a boy doll, she still sees them as girls. Just with short hairdos. :-/

And a lot of the 18" boy dolls on the market (non-customized-AGs) look very young. Even when she saw Kidz n Cats Mike for the first time on Stassy Dodge's blog, he looked really young - like a toddler, which isn't what Penny wants.

But in their meet outfits these guys do look a lot older. 

See pics below. (Mike even has a tattoo!)

Aren't their clothes just amazing?!

And as you can tell they have multiple joints.

(He's in his underwear!!! Accchhhhhhhkkk!!!!!)

Bonus shots of Mike and his tattoo!

So the whole household is atwitter, as you can probably guess. 

But Penny worries about three things:

a) Maybe the quality of the dolls isn't up to snuff. She worries about the quality of their wigs. Whether they can be styled easily, and also whether their eyes will have that doll-zombie look to them. Which those things will only be determined once they arrive. (Patience is a virtue, right?)

b) Maybe the Kidz n Cats dolls will look weird with the AG dolls and won't really be able to work with them in the same photo shoots. Again, this won't be determined until they arrive. Penny is telling herself that if the boys look weird with the AGs, then maybe they can just be in shots by themselves or with our Karito Kids (we have 4 of these girls).

And of course c) Whether the boys will in fact look like toddler dolls once she has them in front of her human eyeballs. *Fingers crossed that they don't look like toddlers!*

So now we are all waiting.... and waiting... and waiting. 

Mike is already on his way via UPS.

He must be a bit hyper.

Jakob is being processed.

He must be a bit more on the lazy side, or perhaps just contemplative.

It all seems like it is taking 4-E-V-E-R though.

Sigh.
