BTW, does anyone have a MeFi account? I'd love to reply to this gentleman, but won't spend $5.

As a collector, I don't understand all the hate flying around here. It's pretty obvious, reading some of their personal info on Gus's site, that he and his wife have worked very, very hard to be able to afford all that stuff. Why some people care if they choose to buy a bunch of Star Wars merchandise and decorating their house with it instead of buying a sports car, expensive clothes, a giant McMansion or something more "normal" is beyond me.

Frankly, I think people that don't collect or at the very least have a fannish enthusiasm for something are pretty bland.

Frida Kahlo dolls outrage Mexican art lovers

A plan by a Mexican company to create a Frida Kahlo doll has created a controversy in the artist's homeland.

Kahlo, the famed Mexican painter who died in 1954, has a wide international following. Her family has been able to parlay her popularity in Mexico into a line of jewellery, clothing and a brand of tequila with her name on it. The doll is the newest addition.

"We know there are people who will not like it and they are within their rights to think what they want. We are looking after Frida's image," Mara de Anda, the granddaughter of Kahlo's niece, told Reuters.

The 20-inch Kahlo doll will be available in Canada, as well as Mexico, the United States, Germany, France and Spain.
