All the previous White Mountain puzzles I’ve done had a very straight ribbon cut, one piece shape only. I was pleased to see they’re not all like that, this one had plenty enough variety to make it interesting- and was faster to assemble.
When I told a friend I had this puzzle, and described it, she said something like “oooh, that would be great for my library for Halloween.” (She’s a school librarian and they have a puzzle table). I was in the middle of the last puzzle from that ten set (the wolves) but paused that one and did this first so I can give it to her before the month is too far gone. I guess some people find any kind of dolls creepy, but I didn’t think so of this picture. Just rather nostalgic, in my opinion. I had a pair of Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls like these when I was little:
I liked that this doll is wearing ice skates!
Most of them have sweet faces, but this one looks a bit derpy to me,
and this one rather smug,
and this Barbie is giving the side-eye to what looks like an I-Love-Lucy Barbie.
Here’s the only one that looks disturbing to me- as if a kid drew the face on with marker, and brutally chopped off all the hair. It’s on a shelf with a teddy bear and a soldier doll, so I imagine it suffered in some little boy’s hands.
There’s also a sock monkey doll, a sailor girl, a ballerina, a naked baby in a tub, and many others . . . the details actually quite fun. And not to be ignored, my cat took over the puzzle table quite a few times:

Your cat is so cute! Is her face half brown tabby and half dark tabby or is it the lighting?
She actually does have lighter brown tabby stripes on her right side (left in the picture)! It took me forever to notice when we first adopted her, that her right ‘eyebrow’ is paler brown. I kept thinking it was just the lighting. She’s also got freckles on just two toes on one rear paw- little black spots on white. It’s so unique.
