My Little China Girl!

I decided to take a different approach on this one. First, I am still amazed that I even have her. This figure was made by TBLeague for HRBrothers and was for sale exclusively to the Chinese market. I had attempted to get her thru my normal source but when that failed she was already sold out. By chance I ran into a dealer on FB who just posted he had 2 in hand and 1st come first served. Both were gone in 10 mins. Timing is everything! After reading the complicated story about this figure I have found her name is Lin Dingding and she eventually leaves the troop with a broken heart....So I figured why not invite her to come  live with me and join my SpaceMall.

So we begin with the lovely art work on the box. No point in going thru the contents as there isn't a lot in there. The first thing you do notice is how thin and lovely this figure is. Her face is just adorable and so expressive. Sadly, she has no nipples but that was to be expected. You get 1 extra shirt, a vintage WW2 style rifle (it has a tiny bayonet that extends) and of course the red party flag.

So here she comes to our little port of entry. Very politely our greeting committee inform our new guest that no weapons are allowed. We will be happy to store your flag for you. Little Protocol Droid - PD03 introduces himself and offers to be her guide to her new home and help get her settled in. Just call me PD he tells her and as a gentleman he offers to carry her little shirt.

Lin is overwhelmed with the all of the kindness being shown her and asks shyly why everyone was being so nice. PD explains that we love all our ladies equally regardless of their back grounds.

After a little nap PD tells Lin that some welcome gifts have been left for her. She loves her new necklace and enjoys her favorite treat a Cherry Pasty. PD also surprises Lin with a new outfit and explains that it is traditional for the StarLight Ladies to wear white. Now don't peek says Lin as she starts to get dressed. How do I look she asks sheepishly. Like the beautiful lady that you are says PD. Now come with me I want to show you our little place here.

First stop is the Ruby Bar and Grill were she receives a warm welcome from the staff. When word spreads of her arrivial several of our local bachelors showed up. Unfortunetly for them Lin is not familiar with some of our more famous individuals. Lin asks 'If you are a Bat Man due you eat bugs?", "You know a Super what?" and "Nope, just a funny man in tights"...

This, and some extra strong 30 weight, is all to much for PD as he falls off his stool, much to Lin's concern! No, no, I'll be fine, says little PD, now come with me, we have one more stop.

Lin is shocked to see the crowd waiting for her at the Celestial Room and after some encourgagement shows why she is a star dancer. The crowd goes wild and Lin knows she has found a place were she belongs!

The End
