I have an adorable Hujoo Freyr sitting beneath my Christmas tree that I can't open for 26 more days.  I'm so excited! ...And impatient. lol

They multiply...I swear! O.O
lol They really do. I haven't brought home a doll since Juniper (my DZ Angela) in January. But Momonita has been preordered and will be mine! My boyfriend saw me looking at her over and over and told me to buy her if I liked her that much.  I can't wait!
Awww, that is so sweet! Congrats!

I've spent along time trying to convince myself I didn't need a bjd but I've finally given in and got one on a layaway. However I was on eBay and ended up buying a minifee shushu head. Does anyone know if DOA, doll leaves or impldoll bodies would work? And which colour would be a match the head is apparently evenly yellowed.
DOA? Which company is that? The only DoA that I know of is Den of Angels. From what I've been able to find, MiniFee heads can hybrid with both Doll Leaves and Impldoll Young bodies. And Impldoll does resin matching, so you can send them the doll's head cap or face plate and they'll match it.

I have a question for anyone who owns 44cm Hujoos. How do you dress them?
I just watched Asenva's review of Hujoo Sara, and she has a ring instead of an S-hook in her head, which makes it look as though her head cannot be removed and easily replaced for redressing. How easy is it to dress these girls? Does that ring pose any problems?

Giving this a bump.

I voted white. I think the TAF pattern will really pop against a plain white body. I voted other... because I want a pearly white (so between shiny and white? I wasn't sure what to do  )))
@Hannah66665- I forgot about the pearly ponies! They slipped the radar when I was doing my radar. I'll definitely add a pearly choice to the second part no matter what colour wins.
Pearly was an option in the "gimmick" poll.

Now I do know that Iplehouse's tan resins will turn green pretty much no matter what. It's made worse by sunlight, but it seems to eventually happen to all of them, whether they were exposed to UV light or not. 
I think it depends on when it was made for the Iplehouse. My friend owns a few, one is like GREEN and the other is perfectly fine. The difference was that the green one was made before they added the UV stuff and the other one has the UV protect. I also know that she keeps them only minimally protected from sunlight because she's like me and we're both super lax owners. lol
Also what doll is in your profile pic? I keep staring at it because it's cute. <3
Okay that is good to know because I badly want a tan Tatiana, but I've been super nervous about getting one. But if they've added something to the resin that helps to prevent the greening then I'll definitely start saving up! The doll in my avatar is Mystic Kids Lillian. Isn't she adorable? She's my absolute favorite doll!

I dont even really understand the difference.. they look very similar.
It's just a different type of plastic is all. ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a thermoplastic polymer, whereas most BJDs are made from resin.
I have no idea what the differences are between them—why one is more widely used over the other. 
They do feel a bit different, ABS is much lighter (great for a trael/poocket soll! ) and a bit softer plastic and shinier. Painted/faceuped and sprayed with MSC its not really that noticeable. Personally, don't think it makes much of a difference, I love my mini freya <3

Ah, cool. Thanks, Aliyahbetd. That was very helpful. Your Mini Freya is adorable, btw! I hope to eventually get a Freyr to be a young manster boy for my 17" Monster High dolls. I'm glad I could help! All my BJDs are ABS and I really like it. They're a good place to start! You can always make the jump to resin later if you decide you want to. As far as difference go I've always heard people complain that resin yellows like crazy, even in the dark...
As far as I've ever heard, keeping the dolls out of direct sunlight helps greatly to prevent yellowing. I've not yet come upon any collectors that had dolls yellow even if they were kept entirely out of sunlight. In fact, I know several collectors who have dolls seven and eight years old that have never yellowed. My own resin BJDs have yet to yellow, and I keep them out of sunlight like it's the plague.  Now I do know that Iplehouse's tan resins will turn green pretty much no matter what. It's made worse by sunlight, but it seems to eventually happen to all of them, whether they were exposed to UV light or not.

I recommend watching the second-hand market. There are some good deals out there.
Seconding this. I'd also recommend checking out DoA's list of BJDs under $300. I have three BJDs and have yet to spend more than $200 on a single doll.

But...but... the Transformers are a warrior race of sentient machines fighting to keep humanity from being overthrown by evil! The Ninja Turtles are trained in a deadly martial art to defeat a ninja master from taking over the world.
THE PONIES LEARN LESSONS ABOUT FRIENDSHIP. 
I have to agree with you there. And I'm not really sure what's up with Twilights mechanical claws, plus she never actually fought a changeling since she was a princess ((not counting when she went into the alternate timeline)). And honestly they don't fight that much :/ I wish they did tho 
Those claws are supposed to be to grab and fling the Changeling away (I guess Twilight's expression is because they are kinda heavy?). So really it's a defensive move as opposed to attacking. The Guardians of Harmony might not start fight but they do defend themselves if they get attacked.
Completely agree. FiM is quite heavily about resolving conflict, and that resolution very often involves battle. One of the most epic battle sequences that I've ever seen in a kids' cartoon was Twilight's fight against Tirek at the end of season four. Almost every season ends with some sort of clash between the ponies and a nemesis which threatened the existence of either friendship, Equestria, or both. And this, of course, hearkens back to the original animated series, which was also quite heavily about ponies adventuring and fighting the forces of evil. I think that this was a bold and genius move on Hasbro's part. These figures show that, just like FiM, "girl's" toys can and should be multi-dimensional. MLP are pretty, colorful, glittery fantasy horses with silky manes who learn and teach life-lessons about friendship. But they are also battle-doing superheroes whose very job in Equestria is to routinely save it from annihilation. Personally, I love these and plan on buying several for myself and my daughter.

Congrats SaelaVe! I think I already told you on DoA, Bobby is adorable! And that's really fast too! I ordered through Legenddoll and they told me 20 more days.
Thank you! I love the Bobby sculpt so much. I fell in love with it the second that I saw it. I'm so excited that she's almost here. I wasn't expecting her this quickly at all. When I first ordered her the wait time was about four to four-and-a-half months, so I was estimating that she'd ship some time in October. Then a few people started reporting that their dolls were shipping within about twelve weeks. Twenty more days isn't bad. That's less than a month away and your new baby should be on their way home to you!

I took a huge leap the other day and ordered a Spiritdoll 1/2 Dolce Nymphaea as well as a 1/3 Elegance Hibiscus. It will be a giant box! I'm also curtently waiting for a Xagadoll July and an Impldoll Azalea. I'm really stuck on big girls! Who else is waiting for dollies?
I have a Xaga Doll Bobby on her way home right now (she should hopefully be here next week).
