My other new addition is Lupin. He's a Narin classic/N401 head on a limho body. I've been wanting a Narin for a while now and feel very lucky to own this guy as he's one of the first releases of this doll and is about 11-12 years old.

Bump because I wanted to share 

Any exciting doll stuff happpening with anyone? I’m placing an order for a Nyxy’s creations Luna sometime later today. I just couldn’t resist that pearly violet resin..

I got my first BJD in 2003 (a Volks Sweet Dreams Lucas)  really I shouldn't have had such an expensive doll at that age... Anyhow I collected BJD till 2009, at my Max I had 13 or 14 now I'm down to 6. I haven't really taken them out of the box since then.

Well I have always wanted some more Alchemic Labo dolls so when Unoa Alchemy was having their January sale I bought L-bi and B-el on a whim haha. I just got the notice they shipped today.

Not that I need more dolls I don't play with, but now i can check them off the list. I am looking at the new Rowan girls too, I'm not sure if I will cave into one of them too haha

Ooooh a BJD thread! I'll show off my kids.

First up is my first BJD, Gillespie, aka Gillie. He's a Resinsoul Bao with the default factory faceup and eyes.

Next is Roman! He's a Resinsoul Gang with coffee skin <3 I really need to get him a faceup, honestly. He currently just has his factory eyes.

And here is a lovely Resinsoul Lian head I got from cederheart on Zone of Zen a couple years ago. She also did his faceup! He's still without a body, sadly.

im finally in the budget for a good sized bjd (30-50 cm) but i dont know who to pick  !!!
does anybody have any recommendations of dolls you like? I prefer "mature" dolls to "little kid" dolls, and i would greatly prefer a tan or ~colored~ (like blue or pink) doll over a white/peach doll. I like dolls that are a little unique, so like big hips or interesting faces...i dont buy into ethereal elf beauty that so many bjds have lol!
Ery by CULUR is one of my favorite dolls but shes not selling them right now ... but thats the kind of doll i like.

...anybody help? <3

Hmm, maybe you'd like one of the cerisedolls lillycat mid sized girls?  They're quite pear shaped and have been made in a few colors.

yes ;_; i love her dolls, especially the small busted ombre in tan. unfortunately shes all sold out of everything right now and when she does open they usually go pretty fast. I'd look second hand but DOA scares me LOL

So, for you BJD fans that are married, how do you 'convince' your spouse that a doll is worth hundreds of dollars? 

I have been looking at a doll off and on for some time now, and I think I definitely want it. (It's already got a face-up so no work for me, yay!)

I can afford it, especially with the layaway plan that is available.  I just, well, I sorta feel weird about it.  I don't need 'permission' to buy, but my husband and I always discuss larger $$ purchases. 

Got any ideas for me?  It's a limited doll that isn't being made anymore, maybe lead with that?  Help me!  lol!

(PS - the doll is $400, in case that matters.  It's not a *crazy* amount, but it's a lot for 'just' a doll.  )

Um... my DH is big on spending money ONLY on the things that will make you happy in the long-term so he has pretty much said, buy a $2000 doll and be satisfied with the One Doll.  LOL  So I am still searching for ... that doll.

I got word that Luna the bat will be cast soon! Hopefully she'll be here in a few months.. 

Petunia got a new look, as did Percy.

Here's a quick photo of Petunia:
