Thank youuuuu suppi! I demand spam when your tinytaurs arrive :shifty:
It's not overly apparent, but he's actually balanced on one foot in that photo. I love posing the tinytaur bodies so much :blush:

You have every right to feel vindicated! Thank you for posting about it as well :hug:
I'm glad you stuck to your guns and got it sorted in the end.

I had a similar experience a few years ago with one of my project vehicles - a 1975 Datsun 620 ute (truck?). That little beast struggles to do 100km/h but it's virtually indestructible. I was having issues with keeping my battery charged and keeping power to my stereo (vital in my world.. :blush:) etc, so naturally I knew there was something that needed to be seen to. Under the bonnet they're a pretty straight forward 4 cylinder with nothing but necessities for the time. The biggest issue I had was that when I was driving, it would start running really rough and the regulator would start "clicking" (almost like the sounds tappets that desperately need adjusting make) so I switched that out with one from another (unlicensed but running) 620 I have.
It did the trick momentarily, but the same thing started happening again. My Dad is also a mechanic and has a 620 himself as the workshop run-about (we're both pretty obsessed with these little utes lol) and his only suggestion was to replace the alternator - something I really couldn't afford to do when I wasn't even sure that was the issue. So checking it all over again, I noticed the plastic plug into the alternator wasn't as snug as it should be due to the brittle, old plastic deteriorating. The next time my baby started playing up, I pulled over and carefully wiggled the plug while he was idling, and what do you know - fixed! Only temporarily of course but at least I'd found the issue. Do you think my Dad would have a bar of it? No way. Best course of action was still a new alternator >_<
Well, it's my vehicle and MY (lack of) funds.. so I told him I was going to switch out the plug with or without his help just to satisfy myself. If it turned out that I did need a new alternator - so be it - but I had to at least try, you know? So he gave in and actually gave me the clips and connectors I needed from his stash. Though I think he was just humouring me :| The next free weekend I had, I replaced the clip etc with the study new bits! I'm so proud to report that I've had NO issues since, and my little ute is still rocking his original alternator ^.^ Sadly, he's been parked up for a while because now he needs his drum brakes switched out and some structural rust seen to - but that was an issue I knowingly bought him with.
A bit of a disclaimer - I have some recognised mechanical training and plenty of experience servicing (I was a Trades Assistant for a few years) and restoring cars so I do know how to safely work with auto electrics.

Moral of the story: Sometimes we actually do know our cars better than the men "qualified" in automotive diagnostics. Fight to test your own diagnostics (however you can - even if that just means being firm with your chosen mechanics) because even if you're wrong, you'll learn something.

That's just my two cents :blush:

Chiming in with the excitement over the RealFee cuties!

Based on the proportions, I'm assuming they'll be between PKF and LTF size which I'd be thrilled with. I'm also wondering if they would be able to share hands with either.. like how RealPuki can share Pukipuki hands. Looking at the wings, It's hard to say if they're the same size as the wings they already sell because they have tiny little roses at the base by the looks - so cute!
Argh! I had pretty solid doll plans but now I think my next order will have to be at least the little hooved guy.. but the bunny is just too cute as well! :faint:

The Dollhouse / FS/FT: Pullip, Taeyang (MIB and loose), Dal & Byul.
« on: May 12, 2015, 03:35:37 AM »
Hi guys! I have quite a few Pullip related items that I need to clear out. Most of these were posted here last year but are still available, so I'm re-posting an updated version the thread. I'm reusing the photos from last year but will happily update for serious buyers.
I'm looking for sales as I need extra funds but am certainly open to trading for BJD items.

I am located in Australia and will ship internationally using Pack and Track International.
Items are priced in US dollars.
Payments accepted by PayPal.
If you don't like my prices, please feel free to PM me reasonable offers :) I'm definitely willing to negotiate!

Pictures are spoiler-ed under the headings ^.^

MIB Pullip & Taeyang
Spoiler
All MIB, never removed and kept out of direct sunlight, in my personal collection. I need to cut down on my collections, so sadly these are the first of my MIB to go.
Quick pics for now, will provide details and more pics to serious buyers.

PULLIP Ddalgi - $200
Ddalgi is quite hard to photograph because her box is inside of a protector bag which gives her a foggy look. In person it's not so bad and once removed I imagine her box is very clear. I've never taken the bag off to know for sure.

Pullip

PULLIP Ala - $60
This girl is gorgeous! She's Mint out of Box and the only thing I've done with her was conditioned the bottom of her wig.. which is a little wild. She's still on her original T3 Body and her wig has never been removed nor her head opened.

PULLIP Luna - $90 ON HOLD
She has had her eyes switched out a few times and her wig has been removed and is just sitting on her head currently. I had her on an Obitsu body for a while (she's a great match for white) but she's back on her original T4 body. Overall, she's still in fantastic condition.
Luna has had her original eyelashes replaced with thicker lashes.

Thanks for the compliments on Newt :) I love him so much more than I thought I would! He was basically an experiment that turned into a fully fledged dolly character lol

Cassy and suppi - Kezia thanks you for your love ^.^

Buzzingbumblebee: Your latis are adorable! Also, congrats on the zebrataur!! I have two choc cookie tinytaurs on a long layaway with FF&D and am hoping to have a little herd of pukitaurs :blush: I can't wait to see owner pics of the zebrataurs when they start arriving!

barbgirl: Wow, they actually look pretty similar in colour to the website pics! The first pair I bought were IB-017 and I was a little disappointed in the difference of colour at the time, but I love them now! I have IB-014's ordered for my tan Chloes (MNF and LTF). Hopefully they'll be shipping soon!

I spent some more time working on Newt's faces yesterday and I think he's pretty much finished!

Newt - Sort of Finished! by M!ndy, on Flickr

I do want to replace his lashes with lighter/ginger lashes when I can afford to order them as well as get him some makos. He's also wearing a hat because I don't have a wig for him or any idea what want to do there lol

Not that I planned it all, Newt the cutie has already found himself a little girlfriend in Kezia..

Thank you for the compliments Rhini, xkelpie and bluemoon.hk ^.^
Little Newt has really stolen my dolly attention lately!

I'm actually in the process of switching all of my current dolls (aside from the Realpukis..) to Makos! I absolutely LOVE them - especially the Iberis :heart:
barbgirl, are your Phoebe's Iberis Makos by any chance? They look stunning!

Congrats on the arrival Galactica! She's beautiful :)

You did a wonderful job! I think the simplicity with the symbols and points works really well and Germ being pale pink will look just as beautiful. They'll compliment each other nicely :D
