Once again Iplehouse proves that, when it comes right down to it, they are capable of reading my mind. The faceup on Beowulf's new shell came complete with faint smirk, thereby obviating my need to actually modify the faceup. Which is great, because it's a pretty nice faceup. Iplehouse's factory faceups have really improved since I got Jack in ( Read more... )

Followed through on my threat and purchased a realskin Gentle Soo Ri to reshell Beowulf in, woooo. I went ahead and paid for the default Iplehouse faceup, too. I hope it won't be too frowny, but I guess we'll see. (He's coming with a pair of black suspenders, a pair of hugenormous EID-sized stompy boots, and nothing else. Kinky ( Read more... )

Ahahaha oh shiiii Iplehouse is doing special realskin versions of all the YIDs. WELP ( Read more... )

I didn't want to just bump my sales threads--I find page upon page of hopeful little 'BUMP!' messages to be really depressing. So while I had the Ryushin and the Ryoya up for sale, I decided to write a dumb little serial story in every day's bump posts, until either everything was sold or the story was finished--and, I figured, if the Ryushin hadn' ( Read more... )

Man, there are an assload of older Soo Ris up for sale in the DoA marketplace right now. Always Soo Ri; hardly ever any of the other male Iplehouse molds. When someone needs to reduce their doll headcount or just needs money, it seems like it's always the Soo Ri that ends up on the chopping block--and a lot of people could use some money right ( Read more... )

If I get a chance to try for one of those SDGr Ryoyas--if there's a lottery for the leftovers on VolksUSA or something--I think I'm going to put in for one. I think I like him, and I'm definitely curious about the new body. Not enough to go to Japan to get one, or to fight for one on the secondary market, though. I have my limits and apparently ( Read more... )

After two and a half weeks of wandering, Beowulf's 'new' body finally found its way to my doorstep today. It's an Iplehouse model body with the three-part torso that I like so much, but it's a year old, so I had hopes that the resin would match. And it does! Hooray! Soon I will have entirely eliminated the dislocating waist joint from my household ( Read more... )

Iplehouse appears to have sent me a normal-skinned Ryushin, instead of the white-skinned one that I ordered. I say 'appears' because the new resin doesn't match anything in the house, but it's definitely far too pink to be 'white' skin ( Read more... )

This is by far the longest that Iplehouse has ever kept me waiting on an order.

Granted, they just released a whole whack of juvenile girls and the Mars sculpt--during the damp season, moreover--so they're probably completely slammed. Plus my ~*SOUL-TEARING DORRIE PAIN*~ is nothing compared to that of people who wait six months for a Unoa or a ( Read more... )

Man, but I love memes that let me talk endlessly about myself. Stolen from cynbaby, who stole it from violaine:

I'm going to post - and I'd like you to as well, either in comments or your own LJ post - about how I came to own each of my dolls and any special stories surrounding their acquisition. I realize that a lot of you have tens and tens of dolls, so you ( Read more... )
