I have to admit that I was really pissed off when I found out that Groove was going to release the Regeneration Series.  I thought it was a slap in the face to the collectors who worked so hard to save up and hunt down "sold out" dolls.  Like, I had to fork up $400-something for my Noir and some totally high amount for Moon and here they are being released again. 

So I went on with life, muttering about "freaking regens" whenever I'd see them online.  Until one day, I came across a nude Regen Fanatica and a Nella being sold together at a price that I thought I'd be an idiot to pass up on.  I bought them, thinking that I could trade away Regen Fanatica later on (weird thinking for me because my dolls are like my kids).

Anyway, they arrived and I stuck the nude dolls in some extra dolly clothes that I had.  And then I found myself shelving Nella and carrying around Regen Fanatica in my bag.  The "freaking regen" has totally smitten me.

I still want an original Fanatica as I've failed to get her up to this point.  Also, her face seems very different from a Type 2.  I can tell the difference.  One fear was that someone might be conned into buying a regen stuck onto a Type 2 body being passed off as an "original."  However... I've been collecting for awhile, so that works in my favor... I still think people need to be wary of scams like that.

My verdict on regens: I now like them.  They're affordable copies.  The originals will still be sought-after (by me at least, LOL) and who couldn't love her huge eyes?
