Alice and Her House

 A new Disney Doorables set.
I got four of them a while back but now there seems to be a few more of them.
I think they are based on some cartoon I never saw and likely never will watch.
As part of my American Cities Project I am building Disneyland, I used to live right down the street from there and it was always fun to go there before they started allowing men with moustashes to dress as princesses.
So the Doorables are going to be use as part of my Toontown section.
My Disneyland is not representative of any specific year, as I have mixed and matched rides and attractions to fit what I like and what is available as models.
Disneyland has people dress up as characters and walk around the park and I will use this figure as one of them.  The are often just like this a caricature of a real person.
Here Alice is with two 1/72nd scale figures, a pretty good size.  She and the other Doorable figures will likely also participate in my James Bond Junkanoo parade also.
The cardboard background is pretty good to, so I saved it.
Not sure how I will deploy the background but it was too good to toss out.
It might get used just like it was in the package as background for this figure and building.

Bond in Toon Town.

The interior of the house has a little pin on the floor.
The bottom of the figure has a corresponding hole in it to site the figure near the door.
It's a nice Toon Town looking building.
The roof has locating pins for snapping similar buildings on the roof.  I won't likely be doing that.
James Bond has a  rather dynamic look through the door.
Probably won't be in Disneyland.  The buildings are pretty good for Toon Town, although I will likely repaint them or at least do more detail painting.
The eyes on the figures are well done, I don't know how they get the great sparkly effect.

Secret Revealed

This is the figure I got in the secret box.
It is from the Rapunzel movie, which I never saw.
The super size head would seem to indicate this may not be a line of 1/72nd scale figures that I will want to buy very many of to replace the other troops.  However, I think I will use them as a sort of street puppet Muppet kind of performer in my Disneyland Toon Town.  Note the body size is not too big compared to a James Bond figure.  The head could be easily manipulated I think, by a puppeteer inside the figure.
This is the little house in the set.
The "hair" on the right side is a plug in piece.
Apparently the deal is you put the figure inside the house and then open the door to reveal the figure.  It is supposed to be a lot of fun for little girls.  I was not all that amused.
The back side of the figure, each little house has an open back like a traditional play house.
