![]() They're a tiny company and their product of course cannot really stand up against Mattel's might, but they're bringing something interesting to the game at least. I look forward to seeing Fresh Doll's full reveals. Just because the lines are unsettlingly similar doesn't mean they're not worth a look. Barbie and the Rockers was a good line that coexisted just fine with Jem after all. Now of course, all this said, that does NOT mean that both lines cannot coexist and both be good. Naturally, seeing these teasers, all a lot of people can say is "oh wow, they look like Wild Hearts!" and you cannot tell me Mattel aren't cackling with glee over that. (don't sue me Mattel!)īut it's not like Mattel havn't pulled this shit before and we know these Fresh Dolls have been in production since the start of the year. this is only speculation and we have no PROOF of course. Now of course, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's all nothing. Until Fresh Dolls released this teaser of their next wave due out at the end of the year: So when this Wild Hearts Crew line came out of nowhere with little fanfare and using a lot of existing parts and graphics, naturally, a lot of people thought "okay, what's got Mattel nervous?" Companies are constantly seeking ways to undermine their opposition or the ride on their coat tails. But it's also not at all uncommon in the industry. This isn't a secret, this is a well documented fact that Mattel themselves are really annoyingly proud of doing. Mattel have successfully managed to take some of the excitement out of Hasbro's release. When Jem hits people say "these look just like that Barbie and the Rockers line". The result is just what Mattel hoped for. They create Barbie and the Rockers and they beat Jem to store shelves by several months despite starting later. So they get together and they cobble together a line themselves, using parts they already have to speed up production. Mattel know this could potentially be HUGE for their rival, they need some way to take the wind out of their sails. It's the 80s, Hasbro has a new doll line in the works that really captures a culteral zeitgeist, they're calling it JEM and Mattel has caught wind of this. To explain to those who don't understand what that means, i'll tell you a story. So what on earth was coming out that Mattel was trying to preempt to market? Was it a rival to MGA's OMG line? That didn't feel right. "What is Mattel rushing these out to counteract?"īecause they came outta nowhere using reused graphics and parts and felt rather hasty.įor months we speculated. See, when these were released a lot of old guard doll people all voiced the same question. Import fees were a bit painful but considering this line is fairly unlikely to get a global rollout (haha watch, that'll happen now!) i'm glad at least to have my hands on two of the set.īut before we delve into the review I want to discuss the elephant in the room. Dance, pose, rock out, and express yourself! Discover your own wild heart with these Wild Hearts Crew dolls.Mattel annouced these a few months back to a lot of excitement, rapidly quashed when we all found out they were store exclusives and worse, US ONLY exclusives.īut I really do love me some alternative dolls with interesting hair so I sort of put a cheeky bid in on a couple on ebay and sort of. ![]() She rocks an artsy-cool outfit with a beret, studded suspenders, ripped denim, and - of course - her camera, which she brings everywhere!

![]() Since flat characters do not change and are predictable, they provide a great contrast when you want to emphasize the changes that your dynamic character has undergone. Their most important purpose is that flat characters provide a reference point for dynamic, round characters to shine. They can provide the identity of specific settings: the barista in the café, the coworker sitting across, and the kind, old woman in the neighborhood. Consider Mary Jane from Spider-Man– she is a two-dimensional character used mainly as Peter Parker’s love interest and the story’s damsel in distress. Flat characters often complement the development of the main character, and if they are the main character, they complement the development of the plot.įlat characters are often minor ones present in the story to populate the world, they are used extensively to complete and give personality to your story-world. Used creatively, flat characters can make the story alluring. You have to first understand that flat characters fulfill specific roles in a character cast, and they are indeed important to have in your story. Having a flat character does not immediately make your book a failure. the readers may be introduced to specific aspects of a static character’s personality, increasing their complexity without ever changing. Static characters, despite not undergoing a significant change in the story, can still be round characters: e.g. Dynamic characters, since they undergo a major transformation throughout the novel, are often round, because we see them become more complex as they live through the story. We can connote that the rounder the character, the more complex and, in turn, interesting they are.ĭynamicity, on the other hand, refers to the amount of change, often internal, that the character undergoes over the course of the story. When we talk about roundness and flatness, we usually refer to the complexity of the character and their personality. The difference lies between the definition of roundness/flatness and the state of being dynamic or static. The Difference between a Flat Character and Static CharacterĪ flat character can also be thought of as a static character, yet a static character is not necessarily flat. Your impression of a flat character rarely changes throughout the story, and they remain consistent across time. Falling back into cliché character tropes, they are simple characters that might not offer much depth to their characterizations. These are often called “one-dimensional” or “two-dimensional” because of their minimal or lack of complexity. Go through an emotional and mental transformation.On the other hand, a three-dimensional or round character will often: The character also doesn’t go through any transformation that makes them have a well-rounded personality.Ī flat character is the opposite of a round character, who has a complex personality which is often memorable and relatable to the readers. What is a Flat CharacterĪ flat character is a persona with an often predictable personality that shows little or no ambition and motivation. That’s why we’ve prepared this piece to help you understand what a flat character is and how to round them out. ![]() The key concept here is to know how to identify flat characters, and if their flatness contributes to the narrative that you are aiming for in your story. ![]() Sure, you might know flat characters to be often uninteresting and boring, but there are many flat characters in literature that are actually exciting and beloved! However, the truth of the matter is that having a flat character is not inherently bad. Just knowing that your character is a flat cardboard cut-out is a stake to the heart to a budding author. You might have heard that having a flat character is bad, and you might hear a disheartening comment from an editor or reviewer that you have a flat character. |
