My man knows better than to leave me alone with the internet all day.
As well as my usual scoping of outfits on eBay...
I discovered Kurhn dolls.
http://www.kurhn.com/english/about.htm They are Barbie-like fashion dolls sold in China.
Their outfits are generous and bright. They have an excellent serene look to their mold.
They are priced $8-18 for regular releases. And $13-40 for the collector's editions.
Very reasonable.
I have a couple I have my eye on and may or may not purchase them. I've seen some rebodied on Obitsus so that's an idea.
I was also admiring Momokos yet again.
http://www.momokodoll.com/en/ If I get any Momokos I will have to get two. As I never get one of anything LOL
But seeing they are the same price as the other dolls I collect I would either have to narrow down my collecting or just admire from afar.
I simply love the Marrons Glaces release, she's so sweet and retro looking. I would love to get an Afternoon Class Cancellation or Midnight Crossing to pair her off with.
The first Momoko I ever saw was Winter Bus Stop, who still tempts me. As does the Yukata dressed one, I'd love to have her too but sadly, I'd never be able to touch her. She'd be display only.
