Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse”

Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse”

Sasha (aka MsBig) has produced a range of exclusive figures for Joss Whedon’s new show Dollhouse.

Thanks to Wikipedia for this synopsis...


Echo (Eliza Dushku) is a member of a group of people known as "Actives" or "Dolls". The Actives are people whose personalities and existence in the outside world have been wiped clean so they can be imprinted with any number of new personas—including memory, muscle memory, skills, and language—for different assignments (referred to as engagements). The new persona is an amalgam of several real people, and the end result necessarily incorporates both strengths and flaws from the template personalities.

The Actives are hired out for particular jobs, which can be anything from crimes to fantasies to the occasional good deed. On engagements, Actives are monitored by Handlers, like Boyd Langton (Harry J Lennix). In between engagements they are mind-wiped into a child-like state and live in a futuristic dormitory/laboratory, a hidden facility nicknamed "The Dollhouse".

Adele DeWitt (Olivia Williams) is the director of the Dollhouse, Topher Brink (Fran Kranz) is a scientist who wipes/imprints the Actives, and Dr. Claire Saunders (Amy Acker) is their physician. There are other Actives, named for the phonetic alphabet, like Sierra (Dichen Lachman).

Although the Actives are ostensibly volunteers who work for a period of five years, the operation is highly illegal and under constant threat from Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett), a determined federal agent who has heard rumors about the Dollhouse.

 

Disco-Doll Echo

Echo has an assignment as a super-date. She spends a whirlwind weekend with a guy, culminating in a mad motorcycle race and throwing some shapes on the dance floor, before she heads back for her “treatment” at midnight, like Cinderella.

Hard-Target Echo

Echo is on an engagement that goes horribly wrong, and finds herself being stalked in the wilderness by a madman with a crossbow.

Dollhouse-Handler Boyd Langton

Boyd Langton, a former cop, is a handler at the Dollhouse assigned to Echo. He has doubts about the ethics of what the Dollhouse does with the Actives.

Dollhouse-Director Adele DeWitt

Adele DeWitt is the highest ranking official at the Los Angeles Dollhouse (there are 20 worldwide). She seems cold and can be ruthless, but truly believes that what they do at the Dollhouse helps people.

Dollhouse-Programmer Topher Brink

Topher Brink is the scientist who operates the Dollhouse technology and uses it to imprint new personalities on the Actives. Very cynical and ego-driven, Topher's knowledge of human behavior allows him to specially craft the various personalities of the Actives for their various missions.

Dollhouse-Doctor Claire Saunders

Dr. Saunders was attacked by an out-of-control former Active and has extensive facial scars. She still remains patient and caring of the Actives. She tries to protect Echo and the others from harm.

Memory-Wipe Sierra

Sierra is the most recent Active to be added to the Dollhouse. When Echo first sees her, Topher is putting Sierra through the painful process of the extensive first mind-wipe.

FBI-Agent Paul Ballard

Paul Ballard is the FBI special agent assigned to the Dollhouse case. While most in the Bureau view the case as a joke, he takes it seriously, to the point of obsession.
