https://lego-worlds.fandom.com/wiki/Spooky_Girl FINALLY got around to getting my Spooky Girl, a year or more now after finishing LEGO WORLDS (SONY PS4) in which she is a playable character, -becoming my instant mainstay- just as soon as i had managed to eventually unlock her, at least;

Just got this little sweetie in from AmiAmi a couple days ago. i've spent that time making her an entirely new set of undies, as well as trimming away the excess fabric at the dress' seams, providing a much more natural fit than possible straight-out-of-box;

my parents started me out on component Hi-Fi around 1999/2000, before i had even quite left my teens. they handed their entire system down to me, a mid-70's NIKKO 5055 stereo receiver, early-80's RADIO SHACK "REALISTIC" 31-2000 12-band Graphic Equalizer, late-80's PIONEER CT-980W dual-well cassette deck, mid/late-70's BSR 200BAX changer Turntable, and some three or four-way pair of FISHER floorstander loudspeakers. i made a ton of cassette mixtapes with that system over the next couple of years, both for myself as well as for my long-hauler, career truck driver father. the 2000's wore on, seeing a procession of upgrades to my system, -many of them thanks to the great deals on great gear to be found at yard sales and thrifts at the time- and today, -long since becoming a PIONEER devotee- i have built myself something close to a personal ideal in a nearly-all-PIONEER A/V system... - elements of my first Hi-Fi, 20 years ago - - elements of my current A/V system -
