How are you doing today? How is your week going so far?
My week has been pretty good so far – things have been pretty chill. I’ve been really enjoying getting into Invincible, and I finished watching Season 1, haven’t started Season 2 yet though.
It’s time for another weekly round up of the new releases that I picked up from my local comic book store!
This one is going to be really short, but let’s jump right in!
Nightwing: Annual 2024.
Nightwing. Annual 2024. Cover A.
This year’s Annual for Nightwing covers the origin of Bea Bennett, Nightwing’s ex-girlfriend from his time as Ric Grayson. Turns out she’s a badass Pirate Queen, and this issue tells us exactly how she got there!

I love this moody variant cover. I always enjoy seeing the Bat-Family pictured on gargoyles!

I am sorry that this post is a day late, I was having a really hectic day yesterday, and I just couldn’t find the time to sit down and blog. I’m going on a trip this weekend, so preparing for that has been taking all of my attention!

How are you doing today? How has your week been going so far?
My week has been going pretty well. I got back from Katsucon on Monday, and have been recovering for the past couple of days.
What better way to chill out after a convention than with new comic books?

In today’s post, I am going to be sharing the latest rabbit hole that I have been finding myself going down recently; and it is these adorable 20cm plush dolls!
I originally saw these guys floating around on Tumblr and Twitter, and didn’t really think anything of them – that is, until I joined Mecari and found someone selling two of these dolls of Dick Grayson, or Nightwing, from the Bat-Family. Well, one of these is 20cm and the other is 15cm. They are pictured below.
Dick Grayson: 20cm (#1) and 15cm (#2)
Little did I know that these two would be my White Rabbit, and would be the start of my inevitable descent down the rabbit hole. Of course, as soon as I realized that there was a doll of Dick, there was most likely going to be a doll of Jason Todd.
As such, my quest began.
As a quick aside, all of these dolls arrived without clothes. All of the outfits came from Amazon.
These two dolls were honestly the only ones I could find for the longest time. It seemed as though every time a doll of Jason become available, it was snatched up just as quickly. So, one day I was window shopping Mercari, and I came across a doll that I thought looked similar enough to Jason. So I picked him up, as it seemed to me at the time that I was not going to be able to find an actual doll of Jason Todd.
Below is the doll I picked up – the 3rd in my collection.
Unknown (20cm): Stand in for Jason Todd
I do not know who this is actually supposed to be a plush doll of, as his description was very vague, and he doesn’t have any kind of identifying marks (I will talk more about this in a little bit.)
Shortly after finding the doll pictured above, I found my (first) plush doll of Jason Todd. I think I found him within a week, maybe a little more. Not only did I find Jason, I also found my last plush doll of Dick Grayson. They are both pictured below:
Jason Todd #1 (20cm)Dick Grayson #3 (20cm)
I love how each of the dolls have a slightly different expression, and their faces are done in slightly different styles. The Dick Grayson doll pictured above is the only doll I have that has a skeleton.
What is a plush doll skeleton?
A skeleton is a wire frame inside of the plush doll that allows them to be posed, and makes them a little bit sturdier.
Like an avalanche, it started small and then snowballed. Of course, I had found one Jason Todd, so I found another, and another in quick succession. I found 3 Jason dolls in the space of maybe 4 weeks. All on Mercari. Jason doll #2 is another 20cm doll and Jason #3 is a 15cm doll. They are pictured below:
Jason Todd #2 (20cm)Jason Todd #3 (15cm)
And that brings me to an end of my doll collection… for now.
One of my favourite little detail about some of these dolls is the little identifying marks that some of them have on their chest. I think of them kind of like cutie marks from My Little Pony.

You can see an example of these marks in the photo above. I just think they’re a neat little detail. I have seen lots of variety in these while browsing though images. The Bat- Family emblems are my favourite though.
That brings me to the end of this post. I hope that you enjoyed it – though it does bring me to a question – do you have an rabbit holes that you’ve gone down that you just were not expecting? I’d love to hear all about it!
