I have fallen for the looks of two Iplehouse dolls, but I wish they were smaller. I love the proportions and the adult age looking faces (and the realistic proportioned bodies, though I suppose if they are wearing clothes, it won't matter how awesome the abs are) but two feet tall is huge! Any chance I can find a similarly proportioned doll in the 7" range? Or is that just ridiculous?

Darn it you! I am already picking out dolls and eyes and wigs I either need to work more or get a better paying job. Curse me and my expensive tastes. I am having trouble locating a good red wig though... hrmm.
Yeah, I like to think I am good at saving. I put aside a few dollars a week and before I know it, I have a good chunk put away. (That is how I justify Scarby purchases. Yay RenFaire!) I think my problem will be that even if I save enough to get exactly what I want, how can I justify laying out that much money for a doll? Not to put down any one that does, but, I mean, I could buy a laptop or (with the money I am looking at between the two I want) a car. Not a new car, but still. Between a beautiful resin doll or a car... *flail* how do you people do this? Oh! I've got it! I will take your advice and start activly trying to sell my custom MLP and put whatever extra I make (over the cost of the initial product and the materials) to the side and use my hobby to pay for my dolls! That way, I don't have to use any of my "hard earned money" (not that ponies are easy, but, compared to a job-job) *squee* Now, *cracks knuckles* who wants to buy a custom pony? 844

I have a very specific idea of what I would like to do. I have two characters from a story I am working on (and how many times have we heard that ^-^) anyway, I really love these characters and I am actually going somewhere with them (really heavy duty back stories and future plans for them, maybe a real book someday) and I would love to cobble together bjd versons of them. It will take alot of time and money to get them just right though, so I think I am going to have to set up milestones that once I reach them, I can reward myself with doll goodies (bodies, heads, clothes etc.)

Wow. This hobby is way out of my league It would take me a year to even begin to afford what I am looking for, and that is without buying anything else at all.
I think I need to settle for something much less expensive that I can customize to my liking and spend tiny (comparitivly) amounts of money buying accessories and clothing to trick them out to my liking. I just love the delicate faces and detailed eyes that some of the higher end bjds have. Also, answer these questions will help us help you: Though the answers to the above questions are: Larger sized (so specific, I know... [and more expensive]) Young adult One male, one female Human Rank importance on the following: Posing Ability - Fairly important Realistic looking (human proportions and facial features) - very high Price - I guess it is what I would have to save, more than what I can pay. Ease to find things for it to wear - I am pretty much planning on making custom clothes for them 848

I am sort of considering buying two bjds... The thing is, I don't have alot of money to spend on these things.
I need suggestions of two basic non-big headed bjds that will not break the bank. And the biggies: Clothes, and random accessories (like books, jewelry, trinkety type things for scenes and stuff...) Any help would be much appreciated 849

Thank you! I didn't want to go all out and buy the most expensive thing on the market, but I wanted to make sure everthing would be safe and secure.

What would be the best way to ship a loose Monster High doll?
One of my friends suggested a poster mailing tube. What do y'all think? 852

*flail* On one hand, I would love more of the males to have articulated wrists, but on the other hand, I want to customize the Deuce I already have and if an updated version comes out, I am going to want to update my custom as well.

Walmart.com /says/ my local walmart has Cupid, but when I go she is not there. I asked if she was in the back, but the employee told me that he didn't know...
