Weekly Friday Update
SOOOOOOOOO, I usually have no problem waiting. However, this has happened to me twice: that during the LONG wait I started to change my feeling about the BJD that I bought. It happened with DOI Luke. As soon as he arrived, I took a look at his face and I knew he was not meant for me. I left him go very shortly after that.
I am usually pretty good about waiting. Since I work such long hours, days and weeks are always connected to each other.
But this has happened again. While waiting for Sard and seeing so many Owner's Pictures of Sard, my excitment for my Genma is almost none. The job Soom did on him was gorgeous (oh, he does not have a face up from Soom, since I wanted more of a Majin type personality - not demonic but supernatural.....) But there was a few disappointment. I cannot get his optional leg and hoof to go on. My tool is too FAT for the tunnels on SG parts. So he is handicapped right now. His horn will not stay on tight, keeps on spinning (but I think I can fix that easily.) The box he came in did not have the usual foam protection that Soom has for SG. It has some funny SciFi Air Bed thing. Very annoying. I rather have some pillows if they do not want to use the foam.
Anyway, deep down I am troubled by my feelings for this boy. On one hand, I want to keep him; but on the other hand, he is just not working out thus far. He does not have a face up yet, so of course, I have not seen his full potential; but what if my feelings still do not change after he gets a face up. I am not 100% sure I want to put in more investment on something I am not sure about. I have bought a few doll heads in the past months that even with face up, I has just like "blah" with them. Heck, I have two out in China right now that I am not sure about the $250 which I will spend on their faces. I am just keeping my fingers crossed.
This economy is just not helping me feel any better. Everyday, I am feeling the heat and guilt of spending so much money on my boys.
Anyway, if god is willing he will stay, otherwise, I hope to find him a good home
