Jamieshow designer OwenSu has this unique way of taking a theme that could easily become "cliche" or "costumey" and making it classy, unexpected, and couture. Previous examples are his Go East and Enchantment collections. He did it again in 2024 with the Legend theme, representing mythology. Here is my review of this collection when it landed: Review of Jamieshow/Owensu Legend Collection .
One of the ways Owen accomplishes this feat is with the accessories included in the ensembles and available for purchase separately. Dresses could be worn with or without head dresses and armor. Some of these ensembles were just beyond regular design. The fabrics were opulent. Add to this some of the most beautiful dolls produced in 1:6 scale and you get a stellar collection. Here is one of the new face molds introduced in the Legend line, Daphne, wearing Look 5 (without armor).
And a close-up so you can see this incredible face!
Here is the other new character and collector favorite, Thea, wearing my very favorite ensemble, Look 13, with armor and headdress.
And a closeup without the headdress.
Best of 2024 - Number 2 is Jamieshow/Owensu Muses Legend Collection.

I love these dolls. I am going to sell off some of my collection and put the money into one or two Muses eventually. I finally signed up for emails so I didn't miss a release. Fortunately for me, the current release is tempting, but I can resist. I am still not quite sure who is my favourite mold. I definitely like Grace and Sabina. This Daphne and Thea are very pretty, and I recall liking Valentina too. I'm sure every OwenSu admirer wishes they could win the lottery and take home a whole collection.
Good ideas. You mentioned several of my favorites. I know there are some very blessed collectors who can afford a launch, but I have to pick and choose what I add to my collection. I spend hours looking over promotional photos to weed down to my very favorites. It's always smart to have a little "stash of cash" hid back for the leftover sales. I've managed to snag a couple items at most of those. I find it's the wigs that can break my bank! That wig cap system is just genius. I look forward to reading what you think of yours when you get one!
