Charlie's Angels Natalie Signature Looks 2

This entry features my Natalie Cook doll from the 2000 film release of Charlie's Angels. In this film, Natalie was played by Cameron Diaz. This is the second doll/look in the series by Jakks Pacific inc., from their G.I.R.L. Force dolls. This doll was released previously with a different look (look 1). She was released in 2000.





Tea & Backstory:

"Charlie's Angels" was an American television show about 3 women who worked for a private investigation agency, with Charlie (Charles Townsend) as the boss. Charlie's Angels, the TV show, aired from 1976 to 1981, and was a landmark show. Besides the huge popularity of the show, it was among the first shows to have females in roles otherwise reserved for males. Girl Power!


The film version was released in 2000.

I came across this doll at one of my favorite thrift stores a few years ago, about 2010 or 2011. I thought it was cute and the price was nice as well... The price was 7 dollars, and I probably got a better deal, since they know me. I haven't removed her from her box until today, sinmply because I set her aside and basically forgot about her until recently.

The Doll:







Natalie comes with her outfit, which consists of the jacket, shirt, pants, and shoes, as well as a stand and a pink hanger.






This Natalie doll is made to look like Cameron Diaz. She is the typical Barbie/fashion doll size. I think they did a decent job of making the doll look like Cameron Diaz. I don't like the hair, and may reroot her someday.




She is my first doll of her type, which is a soft plastic 'skin' coating a poseable 'skeleton'. The doll is pretty life-like, compared to most fashion dolls.



Homework: Have there been any dolls made from your favorite tv show? (Comment below!)

Dennis Rodman Bad As I Wanna Be Doll & Dennis Rodman Wedding Day Doll

In this entry, I am featuring my 2 Dennis Rodman dolls: the "Bad As I Wanna Be" doll, and the "Dennis Rodman Wedding Day" doll. These dolls were made by Street Players and were released in 1996 after the release of Dennis Rodman's autobiography, "Bad As I Wanna Be".



Aside from his amazing basketball skills, Dennis Rodman has always been a colorful celebrity, from his ever-changing hair colors to his outrageous outfits.



It always piqued my interest when I would see media coverage of him during my childhood years.

He has spoken out against the use of fur, working with PETA in their "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign, with the slogan "Ink Not Mink".



He has also appeared supporting breast cancer research.



He has recently been in the news for his February 26, 2013 meeting with Kim Jong-un while he was in North Korea hosting basketball exhibitions.




The Dolls: I bought these dolls last month on ebay. They were sold together. I came across the dolls while perusing the doll section on ebay. I did not know that these dolls existed before then. I thought they would be an interesting addition to my collection. It was the Wedding Day doll that made me place my bid. It was so campy and it will fit in perfectly with a pair of dolls I have (that will remain unnamed, as I plan to feature them in the future and don't want to spoil the surprise).

Dennis Rodman Wedding Day: This 12" doll is wearing a copy of the wedding dress Dennis Rodman famously wore for a book signing. It has rooted red hair under a white veil, white sports shoes, and painted-on white gloves (the gloves have some yellowing to them). The doll has true-to-life tattoos as well.



Here is Dennis in the wedding dress in real life.





Bad As I Wanna Be: This 12" doll has flocked hot pink hair and true-to-life tattoos. He wears a basketball uniform with black sports shoes and a basketball.





He comes with a change of clothing that includes a silver vest, jean shorts, and a pair of knee-high silver boots.



This doll comes with an interchangable head featuring bright green flocked hair and silver sunglasses. At some point in the future, I plan on buying a second Bad As I Wanna Be doll to display this second head and costume.



I think I'll display the two dolls together, in a sort of 'newlywed' way...



Uh Oh, looks like Pink-haired Rodman has some competition...!
