I'm excited to share some news about an adorable little figure I've been watching the progress on for the past year. In March 2012, Ukrainian artist Iryna Scargeear first introduced her adorable little ball-jointed mouse Manuna on the Resin Cafe doll forum. She was the cutest little one-of-a-kind, fully jointed mouse, I'd ever seen. Many companies make ball-jointed animal figures, but they are all anthropomorphic figures - meaning they have human bodies with animal heads. This was the first time I'd seen a mouse that actually looked like a real little mouse - body and all - and the way Ira had dressed her, she reminded me so much of Beatrix Potter illustrations. The little mouse stands 10.5 cm tall, is made of Epoxy Sculpt and even has a jointed tail.
Everyone on Resin Cafe fell in love with Manuna, and begged Ira to have her little mouse produced in resin and offered to the public. So that's what she did, and Grace at JPopDolls says she will be offered for pre-order very soon - first in light brown resin, and later in white.
My doll collection is pretty much complete now, but I'd love to add a few of these adorable little mice. Dress them like Beatrix Potter characters, or fairy-tale characters. And of course, that would also open up a whole new direction in doll costuming for my little Iplehouse girls as they'd need little fairy-tale costumes for stories they could appear together in. Sounds like fun!!
