> It’s unholy, and that’s because dollhouses are not made to be lived in; they’re barely fun to play with. Dollhouses are for looking.

What? They’re sets for telling stories with. Barbie dumped Ken for Skipper, and then Darty Vader moved in when his spaceship crashed. Now the Smurfs and the Ponies are besieging the dollhouse along with the Warhammer elves your brother started painting. Can Darty’s Force powers save the day?

There's a disconnect between childrens' miniatures and adults' miniatures.

All those 1/6 scale vinyl collectibles that sit untouched on geeky bookshelves? Same deal.

Having said that, some people love the building, and lose interest once the project's done. I think model boat makers often fall into that camp.

Now all I can think of is a once-off haunted mansion DnD game using a dollhouse as the set!

That sounds awesome. A great excuse for adults to play with dolls!
