Like potato chips...

BJDs are very much like potato chips, you can't stop at just one. I'm now in the process of paying off my second doll. Unlike Pine who was bought new, this boy was bought second hand, and in pieces. Its funny, these two boys couldn't be more different in how I bought them! I think the new boy will be called Winter, but I'm not going to be 100% until I've seen him in person and gotten to know his personality. I want to stick with nature/ weather theme in the names for my dolls, but you know what they say, never say never.

Anyways of course you want to see pics, and I want to show you. BUT I only have seller pics right now, and since I haven't asked her for permission to use them, you'll just have to wait a bit.

Pine will probably be home late January at the earliest, but Winter's head should be here about early/mid January. His body... we'll see- its on a 12 week layaway, but that could change depending on how work goes. If I have good luck at work and make a bonus (or more) then it could be here sooner.

Pine has lots of eyes in the mail- hes going to be spoiled for choice! I think its like 4 or 5 pairs, and they're all for him. One pair may be too big for Pine, but they will be just right for Winter, but the wrong color. I just can't wait to have both of these guys home and to be able to see what works for them and play with them. I still don't have wigs or clothes for either one, but it will all come together soon enough. I think I'll have to make most of Pine's clothes, he's so darn skinny! Winter, thank goodness, it one of the most common sizes- oh thats right! I didn't tell just who Winter is! x.x;;;

VOLKS SWEET DREAM SCHOOL A!!!! Tada~ I got my first Volks! I just love the way the company connects with its owners (not really the way they treat them, sometimes, but the way they try to really connect with the owners). I can't wait to be able to take him to a Dolpa or something similar. Winter is actually a modded swd school a, and theres work yet to be done on him most likely, but I haven't even seen him in person yet, so I'll hold off any decisions yet.

yeah~ I should probably stop now before I really loose all my writing ability ~ This post has no logical organisation as it is...

I'll probably be wotking on the layout sometime soon to, so don't freak if you came back and everything looks odd.. it'll be fixed...eventually.

BIG BIG NEWS!!!!!!

So, if you read the personal side of my blog, then you know that I recently found a job- if you didn't read it there, then you know now!

And with the means to finally pay for a doll, well, I went ahead and put one on layaway. I chose to do that because I couldn't afford to pay the full balance right now, and the timing cam out that if I didn't order by Nov. 24th, I would have really been waiting a while. I went through Mint on Card, and they take preorders through a certain date, then submit it to the company, and then the company goes ahead and makes each doll to order. If I hadn't gone with the 24th order,  I have no idea when the next would have been, and I really didn't want to chance the wait~ as it is, I can't pay off the balance until next month, but the production time is at least 5 weeks, so I have time.

So.... Which doll is it?


Ringdoll Wagashi on a boy body!!!!
Yep, the doll I fell in love with at first sight! After seeing owner pics of her, I knew 100% for sure that I didn't want the girl body, so I ordered the boy body. I'll have a very pretty boy, but thats fine by me. So, pictures?
Sure! I yanked these all from Ringdoll, so I take no credit for them.

Bar for modesty. The boy body- long and lean.

The faceup he'll come with, minus the lower lashes and slightly more neutral lips. This is the picture that grabbed me the moment I saw it. I'll search for years and never find those beautiful eyes, they are sold out on Ringdoll now... 

In the pure normal skin tone, which is the one I ordered. The one right above is in the white skin tone. 

Right now I don't really feel like a "doll owner" I guess when I pay him off I'll really get impatient, but for now I'm just content to let time go by. I would like some sort of guesstimate as to how long production time will be, but hew, the order just went in.,.,

Wish me luck!

That is all I have to say at this time...
Back latter...

I fell in love

Remember how I said I was apt to change my mind about the type of doll I wanted at any point in time? Well- ha! I did it again- sort of. While perusing the Volks mini sized dolls (hey there are a heck of a lot more of them than I thought!) I found two very good "matches."

First, I did track down a website detailing the choices available in the Full Choice System (here). Wow what a lot of choices! I've had the hardest time deciding which head mold I love the most, but I've got plenty of time. A FCS doll is going to cost a hell of a lot more than just the base cost of the doll, I have to go to California to purchase this doll- unless I majorly luck out and somehow get into a NY dolpa to order one. New York is still quite a ways to go though! First must come the funds to get such a doll, so I'm just going to worry about that bridge when I come to it.

The second doll that I loved it Tsubaki- a genderless "angel" type Volks mini size doll. I loved "him" at first sight! Took my breath away... you have to see him yourself! Two major problems with Tsubaki 1) Tsubaki is a standard doll in ONE STORE in JAPAN. Yeah, nuff said. 2) Tsubaki is not Plum. Nope, this doll that I've been "creating" in my head for a very long time just doesn't quite match to what I see in Tsubaki.
    Tsubaki is quite affordable, if I could just get him- around high 300s, not bad for a Volks- in line with the price of the standard MSDs. I like him, I really do, but he's not my Plum... hmm

More of me just rambling hehe... Who knows what I will actually end up with. For now, I'm just trying to put my thoughts together...

Why yes, I am posting back to back!

But I really wanted to take a moment and give this blog a bit more back story- one day (in the very distant future) there will be lots of entries, and those who wonder in should hopefully be able to get the full picture by just reading through, but for now....

So close, but so far away...

I thought that I had really gotten lucky today- a Volks Myu head came up for sell in the DOA marketplace for just $25 (this is a doll that sells for upper $300), and of course I jumped on it, even though there was damage.

 I wasn't the first to spot that little pretty though, and off it went to somebody else. ughhhh! I definitely counted my chickens before they  hatched. Even though I knew that it might go to somebody else, I was hoping for the better part of the afternoon that maybe this time I had gotten a break, but nope.

Waiting on an "another me."

Hi there! Maybe you found me somewhere online, or maybe you followed a link from my regular blog, or maybe you saw the link on a dollfie related page... however you came to be here, welcome! This is my dollfie related journal.
Whats a Dollfie? you ask?
   Well in the most technical way, Dollfie is a doll created by Volks that is between 22 and about 27 centimeters tall. There are several different body styles and types availible. You can see the whole lineup on Volks USA page here.
   In the more broad and often used sense of the term, Dollfie is any Asian ball joined doll (most commonly used to name the Volks lineup, but occasionally used to lump any bjd into one category).

 So, why do I have this Dollfie related blog? Well, I'm waiting on a very special little doll! I have looked high and low, and thought quite a bit about the various dolls on the market, but I keep coming back to the Volks EB Beauty model Midi A or B. I haven't quite figured out which of the two I'm purchasing yet, and I don't actually have any money to purchase said doll, but soon!

So there it is, hopefully one day quite soon I will be able to introduce all of you to my new doll, but until then, well, I guess you will jut have to be patient!
