I wasn't sure what subreddit to ask this in but this seems like a good one. I'm working on a Halloween clown kinda magical girl inspired oc. This is a very basic sketch but I wanted to figure this out before I continued. I wanted her to have a cat ear silhouette so I came up with two ideas. A two coned headpiece under her shirt and skirt is going to be a patterned bodysuit so it would be connected to that. Or two separate party hats with ruffles like the ones on the neck and skirt. I really like both of them and I can't decide which on I like more.

This is a doll from a line called calendar clowns by the company Brinn's in the 80s. They were decent quality dolls based off of different months. This one specifically is the January one from 1988. He's based off of new years with the cone hats and such. They made multiple for each months. It seems like they made one for each month in 1986 and 1988 though I couldn't find the exact details. This is the only calendar clown I have but I really want to find more they made some really cute ones.

I love my vintage clowns but I wanted to show my more recently made clowns. This is mostly Pennywise he's just one of the easier ones to find recent merch of where I live. The Foxy and Krusty were gifts from my uncle. And deadpool was the only one I found thrifting. He's also the oldest being from 2018 but he's from the last decade so he's modern enough.

I love clowns and Garfield so I combined them. I also added pookie. He's on a leash as a reference to clown figures that have monkeys and other animals on chains. I was going to fully finish this. But I did the cleaner lineart and it took all the charm out. So I decided to just clean up the sketch a bit and post that. I know there's official clown Garfields but I just wanted to do my own one. This is simple but I think it's cute. I hope you guys will enjoy it too.

I've started buying the old plushies when I find them. It's only three right now but I'm really happy with them. I got all these guys for pretty cheap. Which I'm really happy about after seeing how much the vintage plushies can go for. The two plain ones are decently beat up but the witch one is actually really clean. These are my only Garfield things currently so I probably won't post here again for a bit. But I'll update when I find more.

A strange doll in my collection but a very charming one. I don't have any information on him except that there's a Mrs. Clause doll that came with him. Unfortunately it was only him at the thrift store though. I love this guy he's such a strange but fun concept and he's cute. I hope you guys will enjoy him too.

I found this guy for my clown collection but his head is pretty stained. I tried to get a decent picture of it but a lot of it didn't pickup well on camera. The stains are small blobs of a greenish yellow color. I've tried water and soap but it didn't do anything. I would've tried something stronger but I was a bit worried about the paint. If anyone knows what it could be or how to get it off it would be greatly appreciated.

Mini plastic clowns from the 80s by Enesco. I love these little guys they're so cute. There's a ton of these little plastic clown figures from Enesco out there. I really want to find more of them but I'm happy to have these guys.

My smallest clown dolls. I love all these guys they're all very charming but the one on the stand is my favorite. He's the oldest thing in my collection being from the 20s to 30s. The santa clown originally came with a ms clause clown. But unfortunately she wasn't with him at the thrift store so I just have him. I don't want this post to be too long so I'm not going to go into detail for all of them. But I hope you guys also like them.

Some strange toys in my collection. These are little plastic figures from 1990 by Enesco based off of Li'l vegabond. Li'l vegabond is a character from Enesco from the 80s. What's strange is that most stuff of him is porcelain figures similar to precious moments ones though not technically the same despite being from the same company. I couldn't find these online anywhere despite being from a bigger company. They are official though they have the copyright stuff on the bottom of them. I wanted to get a picture but it's way to small to get a legible one. I included a picture of them next to a normal Li'l vegabond figure at the end so you can see the difference.

These cute guys are by Homco though I don't know the year they're from. I love these guys. Animal porcelain dolls are always cool. It's unfortunate I only have one other besides these guys a cat I've posted on here before. These guys are also unique because they're one of the only dolls in my collection with fully porcelain body parts. I included a picture at the end so you can see how that works. It's too bad the blue ones missing thier lace collar but I'm glad at least the pink on has it. These guys are very charming I'm happy I have them in my collection.

The last of my music box clowns. I saved theses guys for last because they're my favorites. I love thier outfits and faces. I don't have any information on them unfortunately though. They both play send in the clowns. I'm realizing now I don't really have much to say about these guys. But I love them and I hope you guys will too.

I made a post including this girl yesterday but I wanted to make another focusing on her. I got a better picture of her face so you could really see the stains. I've tried scrubbing it off but it won't go away. If anyone knows what it is or how to get it off please let me know. I really like this doll and I would love to be able to get her properly cleaned.

My drum musical dolls. I always like this style of doll so I'm happy to have a few clown ones. I don't have anything information about the second or third one but I have plenty about the first one so I'm going to mostly focus on her. She is the Deva Goddess of the Moon music box made by the San Francisco Music Box Company in 1992. She actually plays something other then send in the clowns. She plays Music of the Night by Andrew Lloyd Weber. The other two just play send in the clowns. I don't know how visible it is on the pictures but she has a lot of light brown staining on her face tgat I can't get to go away. So if anyone knows how to get that off or how to properly clean the black velvet like material on her costume that would be greatly appreciated. She's also missing a bell that's supposed to be hanging off her hat but that's no big deal. The second music bix I'm pretty sure is just a cheap one I have it's original box and it doesn't even have a brand on it it just says porcelain doll on it. The third one is also an unknown brand but he's a little more high quality. I also really like the colorful pictures on his drum.

Some old beanie baby Ronald McDonald pushies I've found while thrifting. These are from two different collabs between them. The bear being from 2004 and the normal ronald being from 2009. These guys are cute and it's always nice finding Ronald McDonald stuff for my collection.

Another musical clown doll. This time the doll itself isn't musical it's sitting on the music box. I don't have any information about her so I can't tell you when she's from. This girls cute it's a little annoying how far she leans back though. She's was coming off the pillow when I first got her I had to reglue her legs to it. She also plays send in the clowns. While send in the clowns isn't bad I wish more clown music boxes played anything else. Also I'm running out of ways to say musical clown doll for the tiltles of these hence why this one's a little awkward.

The most recognizable toy or thing really in my clown collection. This was gift from my uncle awhile ago now. It has a lot of the pictures including some batman ones but I stick to this guy for obvious reasons. It was pretty fun to build too though it took longer then I thought. I'll probably redo it soon though it's built up a lot of dust and I can't get it clean like this. I think this model's from at most the 90s so not too old but that makes it safer to actually use at least. I really like this it's fun and nostalgic even if I didn't grow up with one personally.

The pewter clowns I've found over the years. These guys are so of my favorites I love the metal look. The music box is my favorite of them because he's a gift I got from before I started collecting clowns. I've posted the bowling one before but he fits the theme so I'm showing him again. I really want to find more of these but I'm really happy with the one's I've gotten so far.

I posted one of my music box dolls. So I figured I'd post the rest starting with the least interesting out of the bunch. But that in no way means he's bad I love this guy he's just the worst of a great bunch. This is a doll by Bradley Import Co it's seems like they made most their dolls in the 80s. Do I'm pretty sure that's when this guy was made. He has a really nice face it's a bit more of a unique one. He also has some more detailed hands which is nice. He also just plays send in the clowns I think all my porcelain musical doll clowns do. I do have a few clown music boxes that don't but I'm pretty sure all the doll one's do.
