Recently my collection has been infiltrated by several male dolls. The first one of note (aside from the motionless Ken, Steven, and other of Barbie's several years' long, male standstills) is Robert Tonner's 17-inch, Russell Williams. Russell has been here since July of 2008. He has enjoyed the company of a few 15-to-16-inch dolls with Far Out Friday Foster being his current female of choice for the past six months. However, after acquiring the DID Obama action figure and dressing him in casual clothing, several other playscale (approximately 12-inch) males have entered the collection. I have developed a keen interest in these males because of the desperate, single women (my 11-1/2 and 12-inch fashion dolls) who have long desired male companionship. My most recent acquisitions have been World Peacekeepers military figures manufactured by M & C Toy Centre Ltd. After removing their weaponry, the two I chose to keep fit in nicely with my collection. Plans are to redress them in complete civilian outfits later. Prior to acquiring these males, the notion to think outside of the boxes of Ken/Steven/Brad/Jamal and other Mattel-made, stationary males never entered my mind. Until recently, I had never considered including actual male action figures into the mainstream of the collection. Who knew, except other playscale collectors, about the posing possibilities that their multiple points of articulation and stand-alone ability could create?
