Yup. They were thinking about calling them urine jackets but that just doesn't sound right.

Sandman didn't get to be published in my country before 2002 and I heard of it for the first time in 2007. I don't know how it looked like in the USA back then. I know of the manga, I have it on my hard drive but I haven't read all of it. I read some spin-offs but I prefer the original Sandman to them, I prefer the adventures of the Dream King to the ones of the inhabitants of Dreaming. I think out of those living in Dreaming, Nuala is my favorite because her beauty isn't that trite (not without her fairy glamour); she looks perfectly ordinary. I do like beauty but in comics it's just way too common; I like it that Nuala looks like herself and not like, let's say, Death of the Endless, Alianora or Alvin/Wanda (when Barbie sees her for the last time with Death and "she" looks like a real woman) - in other words, not like all those glamorous beauties.
Btw, I found a GREAT site:
http://www.comicoo.com/Sandman/index.htmFunny, I don't find Death to be all that glamorous, like in a Barbie way- I look exactly like her from the first graphic novels- not glamorous. She didn't dress to impress, that is for sure. But perhaps she had a supernatural glamor of sorts?

Troll dolls I love them. I have 3 in my "collection" and I used to have the other 3 more than half my life ago but for some reason I cut their hair 
and painted them white with a correction pen, which didn't look as pretty as I had thought it would. I thought they'd look real pretty with white skin but they didn't. Nor did they look pretty with short hair. Now I can't see the trolls anywhere in stores any more, if I did, I'd buy them to enrich my collection. I have three trolls; one was given to me by my high school friend, the other one was bought by me in a funny store which had only stuff with the Diddl cartoon characters - anything from pens to plushies and the pencils with a troll doll on the top were the only non-Diddl thing being sold in there and the third one, the smallest; half as big as the others I got from a vending maching on a trip.
