Curse your lousy timing, Mattel!

I went to Toys R Us today to see if there was anything new.  They were having a sale - buy two Barbies, get the third free.  So I got a fully articulated Skipper, and a 'stunt' Mercy and Faith.

(Mercy and Faith have permanent hairstyles, so if I wanted to show them with their hair down -- say for a bedroom scene -- I'll have to use a different doll)

However, what really ticked me off was a 'Dating Fun Ken' where you could switch between three different outfits . . . and three different plastic wigs!  They made a perfectly bald ken!  My first thought was: why couldn't they have made these three months ago?!  That would have made making Pickles so much easier!

Graaaaaah!

On a personal note, I've been working twelve hour days because they laid someone off at work, which sucks, but I close on my house on Tuesday.
