Fashion Doll Friday: Mattel Professor Severus Snape 2020

Today’s Friday Guy is Professor Severus Snape from the Harry Potter series of dolls. Naomi bought him recently and will be restyling him but today he is appearing in his original clothing. He looks great in black though and I feel sure that he will still be a man in black in his new persona.

Sev was a bit tricky to photograph as his complexion contrasted strongly with his dark clothing and I had several overexposed shots before I got some I was happy with. it’s a good thing that Mattel did not use one of their really pale skin tones or he would have come out like a ghost!

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  2. I love Snape still trying to buy a custom celeb head, but the body might be tricky. He is very dramatic! It would be charming if there was a Lilly out there for him. He might pass for the Agent of a Band if he were otherwise dressed, or Maybe he could be a high-end fashion designer, dripping w/ distain.Great new character.Great blog.

  4. Kind of like the high end character dolls, Think my Chris Reeves might be like that, but harder plastic. But my David Beckham and Tom Hanks are mostly part of the mold. I like that a molded hair means no gel required to avoid bed head. Plus getting to incorporate clones into a setting/display w/o looking funny..
