Beautiful colors! Those colors fit her well!

So sparklyyy! 

I remember that series! My godmother had a Dino Riders VHS and it was my favorite thing to watch when we were visiting there. Such good memories. <3

I have used the Butterick pattern in the past and it doesn't look same as the commercial ones. It was a bit bigger and more simplified, especially the head looked different. For example it didn't have a separate mid piece for the head.

Some companies also accept layaway/paying in installments. Several of my dolls were bought using that.

My first BJD was a Minifee Shiwoo back in 2006. I found it expensive when buying, but when I got him home I was so happy and so amazed by the quality and how lovely the sculpting was and how nice the material felt.

Have you checked out the BJD's for under $300 list? Here is a link in case you haven't: klick

There are so many sizes available that it may be confusing at first. I recommend taking your time looking through different options. I find MSD to be on the easier side to handle when it comes to size, and even though I have more SD than MSD sized dolls now I don't regret getting a Minifee as my first doll.

I got this little creature yesterday and spent the night putting it together and painting. I was overjoyed when Aileendoll made these super affordable tinies in their Plapico line. I love them, they are so fun to play with and to assemble.

What size were you thinking of?

Whatever you decide it is your choice. I hope you will be able to enjoy BJD's no matter what!
