Alyrenee's Copious Spare Time

 ***Update!  I won the blonde.  I am shook. I am waiting to pay for her along with the convention bounty coming this weekend.  I fear I will be too afraid to take her out of the box for a bit.  Welcome to the Thunderdome. 2000+ Poppy collectors enter...with a potential for only 800 to leave with a doll.  However, we know it will be much less since, with any lottery doll, W Club members might have multiple memberships or trade for additional chances. Here we have two dolls limited to 400 of each.  Brutal.  It would have been a brutal lottery even at 1000 pieces.
