Hat Plays Dolls

So, Tonner Doll Company has given up the ghost, citing increased production costs from China (only Robert Tonner called China "the Orient," which, my dude, why) and I haven't really been into Tonner dolls in... years. The better part of a decade. So I'm starting to go through it with an eye to exchanging dolls and doll accoutrements for things like paid bills and cat food, and this one thought keeps lurking in the back of my head:

"Okay, I definitely have to keep enough dolls to justify keeping my favorite 1:4 scale furniture pieces."

Which is. An interesting level of attachment. I do have some pretty great furniture, Bespaq and other goodies, but I'm fairly certain I'm supposed to be more attached to the dolls, rather than sorting who stays and who goes by who is Worthy Of Furniture. Ah well, if it makes weeding easier, it makes weeding easier.

( It's also definitely one of those moments, for a doll collector, where I have to weigh where I am now against where I was then. )
