Not Nefertiti, not Cleopatra… Not Greek… nor even a historical costume at all… All the possibilities that ran briefly through my mind.
It’s actually a modern-day collector doll, by artist Alena Abramova, in a costume, including headdress, inspired by Russian imperial dress, embellished by fantasy.
They’ve been in business for 46 years, but by this LINK to the Indianapolis Better Business Bureau and the dates, I’m surmising the company had a recent change in management and is going downhill (no business could last 46 years unless it was run well).
As a side note apropos of nothing:
All the hype surrounding the Super Bowl being in Las Vegas and the NFL’s past avoidance of the city because of its association with gambling.
It was “the mob” who basically founded Las Vegas and like governments everywhere, the people in charge of the mob don’t give up sources of revenue.
It may be deep underground, but I’d be willing to bet a small sum (by my lights) the mob is still there.

Happy birthday, Abe!
🎂 🎈 🎁 🍰 🥳 🍨 🎉!!
I wonder what this country would have turned out if Lincoln had lived. Much more unified and tolerant, for sure.

Must be a huge flock of flamingos nesting in those trees.

She heard there was ice cream for Abe’s birthday party.
Wow, 99 really let herself go… what a cow. I wonder what Max thinks of her now.
Thanks for pointing that out! 😀
Not much – he’s dead.
Barbara Feldon, on the other hand: Born 1933.03.12
I had such a crush on her.
I dunno… I think she still looks really young in this picture.
A spring heifer, not a cow!

I can neither read nor speak Japanese… but I do know that the three large characters on top spell the Japanese name for Godzilla…
Which, strangely enough, is not “Godzilla”, but “Gojira.”
So this is a Godzilla poster, or maybe a graphic novel.
I know he’s a fearsome monster, but he looks here like a little kid in his toy pedal car.
Toy Mothra-mobile.

“The Hand from Beyond” what? The end of the arm?
I was going to say it looks like the hand from behind.
I don’t remember the date, but we’ve had this one before.
I think so.
Well, the Thing is…
The Flying Fickle Finger of Fate!

Love that face!
How could one not? 🙂
find a panda bear
Got him!
I surprised myself how fast i got it.
He’s pretty visible… I don’t know whether i need to post a solution.
Anybody?
Got it
I got it pretty quickly also. I don’t think posting a solution is needed, Susan.
I’m just happy the puzzle wasn’t truncated
This was easy.
If i got it quick, it was very easy.

Wow, I thought she was a real doll, not a real doll.

New management can and has sunk many a business, no matter the age of the company.
The Flying Bassett… I remember that show.
Hisss!!!
Since your reply appeared just below the Bassett Services post, I had to log in just to like your reply! A perfect juxtaposition.
The EWC! I knew there was a reason we call him that. He’s a baaaad puddytat.
I’m looking at this while I listen to Hollywood Fats. Good stuff if it suits your listening type.
AHA! We’ve found the headquarters of the Evil White Cat!
How exciting, to watch this adventure un-spool…
We have followed the thread, to a dingy office, on the seamy side of town, where the EWC meets with his (somewhat) trusted henchcats.
…
Here, he dispenses a sudden word of warning:
They may be facing a danger they didn’t expect!
He thought he had this caper all sewn up, but now it seams that two clever, caped canines may put a knot in his plans!
…
How will it wind up?
The EWC lives to needle BatBasset and Sparrow…
but he knows that they’re very sharp, and will probably be keeping an eye on him, once they suspect him.
He’s on pins and needles!
Holy sewing-basket, BatBasset!
You must mend this situation!
…
Please!
Return all the arches to their proper places… and restore Got-Ham City, and the world, to their former carefree calm…
so we fans can go safely back to Cleveland…
enjoy the golden arches, and
just let Cleo and the Cliffords, as usual, keep us in stitches.
