Tim cracks me up. I was in a text exchange with him and Jim this morning, and I shared this.
And Tim quickly replied:
Then he amended that isn’t always true of K-POP bands, which reminded me that I have Mattel’s Jimin doll from the K-POP band BTS (standing for the Korean phrase Bangtan Sonyeondan, which in English translates to “bullet-resistant boy scouts.”)
Jimin is another of the dolls that represents a character in the Neverending Saga. In 2021, Wardrobe was called in to redo his look to match his character.
The character is a private investigator.
Back to wardrobe! If the Jimin character gets a kilt, that’ll bring the number to seven, same as in BTS, and the shunned doll can rejoin his friends.
This is not faithful to canon, meaning Tim has inadvertently created the first fan fiction for the characters in the Neverending Saga. WITHOUT EVEN READING IT. It’s magic!
I should give props to the band in case you’ve never heard them.
Now I’ll keep thinking of this group of dolls as the Bangtan Scots, which kind of fits, though to my knowledge, only one of the characters is of Scottish descent.
That is what the world is missing, a Scottish Boy Band not afraid of kilts!
I think you’re right!
I would love to see a Scottish boy band wearing kilts! 😀 BTS are pretty cute, too.
Agreed on all counts. If I see them first, I’ll let you know! 🤣
