Mini Dolls!

I think I need to branch out of my dolls skill. I know that they are cute and I am comfortable making them, but I feel the need to make something...new, something fresh. Tried making mini ninja dolls but I think I need to perfect them before showing them to the public. What do you guys think? Maybe I could show you here before anyone else sees them?
I have little octopi (I love the word) to show you guys too. I'll post a picture below.
I think I'm going to try my hand at little pokemon dolls. Everyone loves pokemon, right? and who doesn't like cute little things? Maybe they will be as a keychain?
Another thing to mention is that I (hopefully) will be heading to AnimeNext 2013 to sell my dolls! Extremely excited. Even if I can't get a booth I'm still going to the con, but hopefully I'll be able to get into Artist Alley. I'd love the chance to get my dolls more out there. It'd be great.
So that's all for now, but here are my attempts at mini ninjas and octopi. What do you think?
