Dolls

Thanks to A.I., a new range of lifelike dolls will soon be available via Amazon. Bizarrely, the manufacturers have focused on bloggers. Above you can see the new "Elegant Lady" doll which is closely based on Meike from Ludwigsburg who recently got married to her longtime boyfriend OK. You will be able to have plenty of fun bending Meike's arms and legs and changing her outfits.

The "Captain" figure represents Steve Reed  who fled Trump's America in a small inflatable boat to become a British citizen. Just like Meike, Steve is bendable and he comes with a range of outfits including  redneck "Round House" overalls and a red MAGA cap. Weapons include a miniature AK-47. 

I was hoping that the manufacturers - ACME Dolls Inc. would have made a doll based on me but no such luck. I guess that Yorkshire Pudding dolls would have frightened small children and simply would not sell.

However, it seems that Karl, Tony and I will soon appear in a kids comic strip about three intellectually-challenged football supporters who went to London to watch their team win the Championship Play-off Final trophy:-

  1. I did the doll thing a while ago. I love a good fad.

    1. Like the Yorkshire Pudding doll, I suspect that the Captain Kirt doll would scare small children.

  2. If that's Meike then I'm her Great Uncle, Henry Fonda.
    Meike is very pretty and elegant. And she bakes delicious cakes.

    There's an AI CS Lewis so why not Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandella ?

    And there are YouTube videos with an AI Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin,
    re-living pivotal moments in their lives. John Lennon too.

    Imagine an AI Lincoln condemning the vulgarity of Donald Trump.

    Soon no one famous will ever die.

    1. Meike's doll looks like a rugby league player! I would love a Haggerty doll complete with voodoo pins.

    2. The Meike doll does indeed have rather meaty arms and legs, and huge hands - fit for a builder, not for a Data Protection Officer. But I like the dress, hairband and necklace - hopefully, they can be changed to match each outfit.

      Jack, I wonder where you got the idea from that I bake delicious cakes? It's usually my Mum or my mother-in-law...

    3. The mouth of that person behind the three friends looks worryingly like some form of scorbut, or lepra, but the teeth look too good for such an illness.

    4. Neil : The Haggerty Doll sounds like a posthumous Frank Herbert novel.
      I invite you to write it as long as it's not dedicated to me.

      You could even make Frank Herbert one of the characters.
      He worked as the art director of an advertising agency like Len Deighton.

    5. Frank Herbert was a right herbert! My novel, "The Haggerty Doll" will be set in Haiti and Ferguslie Park, Paisley. In the second chapter, Meike will bake you a German Baumkuchen cake. And in the middle chapter you will meet and fall in love with Nicola Sturgeon who is already a doll.

    6. Maybe you're kidding but the right agent could sell your idea by making
      just one pitch to a publisher.
      From bleak Ferguslie Park to beautiful Ludwigsburg is a neat switch.

      Gore Vidal said of Truman Capote : Truman is ruthlessly derivative,
      getting his plot ideas from old B Picture movies.

      I used to see Nicola on a train that crossed the River Clyde.

      I had a laugh at the two Montblanc fountain pens he grifted.

  3. Steve has changed! Didn't recognise him at all!

    1. His lower legs have to be ordered separately.

  4. The dolls are very good, and of course you three would be perfect in a comic strip.

    1. Post a normal picture of you (not after eye operations) and I will create an Elsie doll.

  5. Will AI please take about 30 kilos off of me when I morphs me?

  6. No, no, no. Steve and Meike look much younger in real life! I don't like those AI dolls at all. :(

    1. I wish I had a photo of you! I would get a kick out of creating an Ellen doll.

  7. I'm trying to think of what accessories would come with the Ms. Moon doll. An iron skillet, a basket in which to pick beans, and an orange cat with teeth bared?

    1. Maybe there would be a tall Glen doll holding your hand but with his head bursting through the top of the cardboard box.

  8. Your team won - well done! It wouldn't have happened if you and your friends hadn't been there lending your invaluable support.

    1. I was wearing the same team shirt that I wore for the finals in 2008 and 2016. If I had not worn it, I am sure we would have lost.

  9. I think AI should be confiscated from the YPs blog! Now watch his umbrage gather apace ;) ;)

    1. I tried to make an A.I. Thelma doll but I didn't like the title the system put on your box.
