You seem to have miss understood what i meant, i didn't mean the DOLLS were representative of 20 year old ravers, i said that RAVERS were.. as in, i don't like rainbow brite dressed up as a raver, because i don't thinking of her as a 20 year old raver. not that the dolls are portraying 20 year olds.Blondine Arc-En-Ciel wrote:The 1996-97 dolls were not grown up. They seemed to be about 6 or 7 years old. The 2003-05 dolls were close copies of the original 80's dolls, so about 5 years old. It was only the 2009-10 dolls that were obviously more grown up than the originals at 10 or 11 years of age. All of these are far from the 20-something picture you painted.
i said nothing about the 2003 line, i only said the 90s and the 2010 dolls, because TO ME they look like they're supposed to be a lot older than 8ish, the 90's dolls I'd place around 12ish, same with the 2010 dolls.
That's your prerogative, i was just pointing out that i don't care for adult rainbow brite, and RAVER kids tend to be pretty risque... not what i want my childhood icon to be dressed like. The actual image posted above isn't too offensive... but still isn't my bag... that's all i really meant above..lI don't have anything against seeing Rainbow wearing Raver fashions. It's nice to see her "out of uniform" once in a while and the same for the Color Kids. And raver clothes or not, I don't see Rainbow and her friends ever doing anything that would get them arrested. I don't see anything wrong with the image at the start of this topic but it hasn't inspired me to ring up Jasmine and ask her to make me any custom dolls like the ones in the image.As to seeing RB & the CK drawn as adults, it depends on the artist and the style. I don't care for anime and I don't care for streetwalker outfits on kids or adults, real or imagined. Avoid those and I'm normally OK with that sort of thing.
obviously.. there's a rule, if it's been thought of, it's been done? can't ask everyone.. doesn't change my original reaction of "i hope they don't, i don't like raver rainbow brite" i wouldn't want to see it ^.^
As the question of have any custom dolls been made of 'Raver Brite', I think it's possible that at least one of them exists. There are a number of people around the world that make custom dolls (some are rather better than others) and there's no way we can ask each of them so chances are we'll never know the real answer.
