UNBELIEVABLEDen of Angels now has clear, explicit criteria for on and off topic dolls, which involves actual features of the doll and not a random "aesthetic criteria" which meant that equivalent dolls from different companies were on and off topic at the whim of the mods ( Read more... )

Christmas doll post! And as usual, I didn't buy remotely what I planned to. :) But for once, it was a doll that's been on my wishlist for ages. And OMG bargain. If she hadn't been such a bargain, I would have put off ordering until we moved house.

The Hunger Games Tonner dolls are out, and after all that anticipation, I'm horribly disappointed. At $180 rather than Barbie Katniss at $30, Tonner Katniss is bigger and has more expensive detailing (e.g. metal mockingjay pin), but she isn't as attractive or as Katniss looking as the Barbie. Gale is just utterly horrendous.  Peeta is probably the ( Read more... )

She doesn't have a face yet, and I'm glad I didn't buy her eyes yet as she's wearing the recommended size and they are way too big, and I don't have her own stuff for her yet... but meet Momoko.

The new Jem doll line is really disappointingly rubbish. They not only have the fugly hard-featured Integrity Dolls faces, but what on Earth is the point of a non-transforming Jerrica? And why would Synergy make it to a first limited release instead of Pizzazz or Kimber?

I never posted pictures of my Pullips, did I? Not that they are Pullip herself - I started out wanting the whole family, but now I am resigned to the fact that I have a wishlist of Dals a million miles long and  Pullip and the boys don't really get on it. Byul... Well, we'll get to the problem of Byul.

I was always convinced I hated Pullips. It ( Read more... )

I've made it to work two days this week. That's progress, I guess. I just don't feel like I'll ever feel better right now. But I am trying so hard to resume a normal life, and I really am making progress.

Good things: I didn't default in the Magical Girls challenge. I did have to write it in basically one go without much editing, which is not ideal ( Read more... )

I think I picked.

She's SO CUTE.

Dollfie World is actually a tiny little cupboard of a shop (packed with several thousands of dollars worth of Volks dolls) that  Izzy and I went in Hong Kong, and bought absolutely adorable stuff for an MSD I then never bought. Oops. If I actually ( Read more... )

Dear Flist,

Do any of you collect Pullips?

I haven't been interested in them - in my headspace they shared a category with Blythe, who I always found incredibly unappealing with her shiny plastic and demented bugeyed stare. But Shin-Tokyo have a couple of Vocaloid Pullips in, as well as the Evangelion Asuka one, and - they are really pretty. Really ( Read more... )
