Ball Jointed Dolls- Thread #3

[suppi]

I'm like 100% self conscious in public because I remember all the stupid stuff I've done and become a wreck. (Unless you talk to me first than I'm game, because everyone wanted to play with my dragons. ) But she was the one who owned the Coco on your Flickr actually, CathyM!

Beautiful photos of beautiful dolls, thanks Flitter.

I've just noticed that Volks USA has an online FCS! Would someone be willing to post some screen shots of what they have available? The site won't let me in as I'm not in America.

[suppi]

Volks is actually against getting screen shots posted because the US gets a lot of things that they don't offer in Japan. They're also huge into people buying it themselves for the experience I think? Idk, all I know is that they flipped last time screen shots were posted because it invited shopping services and they hate them.

[pony_magick]

Thanks for that, I didn't know that. I'll find another way.

[suppi]

I'll whisper quietly into your ear what they have. >_> (Because that doesn't sound creepy at all.)

[pony_magick]

Thanks, not creepy at all. :p from what I gather from their Facebook page, they're opening up the online ordering for the first half of October. I might take you up on the offer of the whisper then, if I remember correctly. I also think they're starting a new double jointed sd midi doll then, unless I have it mixed up with Japan.

I had a doll meet hosted at my house yesterday! There were five of us in total. So, a small and intimate gathering but it was just so much fun. This is a photo of all the dolls together. It was super rushed cause one of the girls had to get to work so some o the dolls and accessories are askew, haha.

That's a lot of dolls for just 5 people!  What a fun group!  It's always awesome when people can bring lots of dolls like that. 

I have to share my dollies because they're on their way home!  Angeltoast did an amazing job with them both.    (Photos were taken by Angeltoast and shared with permission)

I'd like to introduce you to Coralie! This poor thing waited for her face (and her name) for ages. She was just a floating head for almost a year before I was able to buy her a body and then she sat around for another 10 months blank and nameless. I just didn't know who she was! Finally, I decided to just send her off for a colorful faceup and see if I'd be inspired then. The day after I sent her off, I saw a giveaway for a mermaid tail set and I was inspired! So after almost 2 years, Coralie had a name and a plan.  lol!  I'm having a rainbow alpaca wig custom-made for her, so she won't be bald for long.

And then there's Briar, my Pano.  I can't even handle how cute she is now!  She was one of my favorite dolls even bald and blank, so I'm thrilled with how cute she is now!  I still don't have a wig for her though.  I'm going to wait and see what the blushing looks like in person before I choose a color for her.

Wow, they look stunning Zenna . Can't wait to see your pictures of them .

[Vertefae]

I'm still kicking myself over Pano. He's so stinking adorable!!

[xkelpiex]

Haha, yeah, and not everybody brought ALL their dolls. The whole hallway would have been filled by then! One girl has over 30 dolls on her own. 0.0

Oooh, Zenna, they're positively gorgeous!

[ZennaBug]

Thanks guys! I love love LOVE my Pano. Briar is one of my favorite dolls for sure. The Realfees pose so well and I love the size. I'm going to be so happy to have her back again. And I'm excited to finally have a plan for Coralie! She's going to be so cute when she gets her rainbow wig!

[Vertefae]

I adore the colors in Coralie's face up. I think a rainbow wig will be just perfect!

I had passed on the RealFees because I really wasn't happy with the size. Since then though, I've brought two 19cm girls home and I am totally smitten with their size. I"m sure it'll only be a matter of time before a RF makes the trek home too.

I managed to sneak a little sewing time in today. Monster Face was kept distracted with the playpen dolls. He was very clingy this weekend. I almost felt bad for sewing but he did have my undivided attention 98% of the day. LOL

Stupid Withdoll... they're re-releasing their witch maid dolls (again) for a limited time. Witch Maid Ruby has always really appealed to me. But I always talk myself out of it because the last MSD sized doll I had I just felt like she was too big for me. But I'm just so smitten with her... gah! The odering time is very limited though. only through the 19th and they may close orders before then if they run out of her full set outfit. So I really have to decide in the next couple of days if I want her! Gah!

[ZennaBug]

Oh no! I hate having to make rushed decisions like that. Good luck deciding!

I had my first day of work since the move today and came home to a note from the PO. The only think I'm expecting is the box with Briar and Coralie. Now I have to wait until tomorrow to get them! *cries*
