Jenny - converted into the addiction
A new doll company has come out - Angel of Dream. 1/4 dolls are only $150 + you get a free faceup until their promotion is over at the end of the month (free faceups go until the middle of next month I think). But, I figured this was the perfect opportunity to get a bjd for my sister.
She instantly fell in love with Chen when we were looking through their selection. She even said she'd name him Killie if she could afford him... WEEEELLLL... "Killie" has been ordered. I think he will be a perfect starter doll for her. His smaller size will be easier for her to tote around with her, plus it'll be easier for her to afford clothes for him. She's only 14, and won't be able to get a job until next year, so MSD clothes will be easier on her.
Here's the cute lil' thang.
She's wanted her own doll ever since I got Imari back in... March? So, I couldn't pass up AoD. Since I have Hank on layaway still ($290 left... grr...), I had to put Killie on a credit card. I don't like the idea of using a CC to buy dolls, but I think I can pay him off in a decent amount of time. Especially since I'll be able to work more now that school is out. (Which I didn't mention - I graduated!! WOOTS! College starts for me in January.)
But, anyways, I'll send in my invoice Thursday - they said it takes around 2-4 weeks to ship... he *should* arrive around June 28th. Possibly the week before if I'm lucky. If I'm impressed with him, I may have to buy a Chen myself... or maybe a Wang Zi. I'm just curious about the resin quality... $150 is cheap for a 1/4 BJD (actually it's cheap for a tiny... that's sad.) I hope the quality is as good as the customer service has been so far.
OT- I think that after I pay off Hank, I may have to focus on MSD-sized dolls. 1/3rds are just too hard to afford right now, and it's only going to get harder once I start College in January. So, I'm shopping around for 1/4ths right now... I'd like a girl, I think. Maybe a CP minifee...
EDIT (June 5) - Well, the person I borrowed the credit card from was doing worse in the money department than she let on. So, I've had to cancel my order to AoD and I'll have to save up and get him for Jenny later. Unfortunately, the prices will rise a bit - which was my reason for using the credit card, but what can ya do? He'll just have to be put off a little while, because right now, I'm still paying on my layaway with DollsandFriends.
