A pile o' purchases... Torchwood and Doctor Who...

[fajrdrako]

Yesterday was a red letter day, when it comes to mail. I had, over the past six months or so, ordered a number of things from amazon.ca, and most of it was delayed in arriving in Canada, so the shipping dates kept being pushed back. And then it all came at once, in the past two days. Not to mention stuff from friends. So now I have:

• The series 2 Doctor Who DVD


• Torchwood Border Princes by Dan Abnett


• Torchwood Slow Decay by Andrew Lane


• The Doctor Who Annual 2007, which thrilled me by having both David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston on the cover - I had no idea, the pictures I'd seen just showed Tennant.


• The SFX Magazine with the Torchwood 'badges' from silverwhistle. I took this up to maaseru's place and she and I and maaboroshi perused this and the Forbidden Planet catalogue for about an hour. I kept coming to a dead halt when I came to a certain beautiful figure of Faramir in the middle of the Forbidden Planet catalogue, but we were also all charmed by a lovely replica of Mal Reynold's gun, carefully detailed and hand-polished. "By Nathan Filion himself!" we chortled. And a TARDIS pencil-case. maaboroshi made me promise to bring back the SFX Magazine later because there are so many good movie and TV reviews in it. Not to mention a scrummy picture of Jamie Bamber. Thank you again, silverwhistle, this is a wonderful gift.

I've ordered the Boromir doll, but he hasn't arrived yet... He's going to get a bit of a makeover, anyway... ;-D

What are you going to do with him? Conradize him?

[silverwhistle.livejournal.com]

Yes.
I painted the shield and helm on my Knight of Outremer doll to be his big brother (since he has a sword).

He's going to look good!

I have a bag of lovely fabric bits, including some lightweight brocade-y type stuff. I'm sure I can make a nice bliaut...

This is Guilhem Longa-Espia:


I also have the Iseult Barbie (blonde) and a Juliet (brunette, dressed in the Guenevere costume) as the 2 Queens.

Handsome devil. Good sartorial choices, too. I look forward to a photo of Conrad.

Have you photos of Yseult and Juliet?

Not yet... This is the official photo of the Iseult doll (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000302AHS?vi=pictures): I swapped her circlet for one with points to make her into Sibylla. If you click on the picture, you can bring up closer views of her.

This is the Juliet doll (http://www.mesbarbies.com/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=100) (I got her on her own, not with Romeo). Lucrezia Borgia (the pale blonde Romance Novel Barbie - strikingly like poor Lucy!) tends to borrow her original outfit, and the Italian Renaissance princess one (which is dark blue). As Isabella, she wears this pale blue, gold and white outfit (http://www.dazzlingdolls.com/barbie/dazzling.html?197).
