I mean I thought I was going to have a couple image-heavy posts back in April but I only did the one. Instead here I am in October, with a HUGE backlog of stuff.
This is the first of those backlogged posts: I got the Frankie-Alivia Monster Family two-pack!
I found it on eBay for... uh okay it's been six months. I want to say around $22? In the neighborhood of MSRP, which was $20. And while cost is always one of my chief concerns, when I shop on eBay I'm also always looking to see who has a photo of the actual item they actually have for actual sale. It is true that no one can rock wonk-eye like a Stein but I'm only so willing to gamble.
( 29 more pics behind the cut! )
Oh right one more thing! ( Comparison shots of the Alivias! )
And there you go.
I actually genuinely do like Alivia as a character-- even as she was presented in the Howliday Special. How often do you see a nine-to-twelve-year-old girl presented as the strong, silent type? I could easily wish she'd turned up pre-reboot, because I think the Frankie-Alivia storyline could have benefited from Frankie having contact with her friends' sisters. (Although I do like that Alivia came about basically the same way Hoodude did-- Frankie takes after her grandpa, she got all wound up and made a person she didn't know what to do with. Twice!)
Like what I do and want to help me feed my cats, but don't need anything I have for sale on eBay? You can always support me on Patreon or throw some change in my tip jar.
