I ran across one today on a manga/anime site I am a member of
on the site is a section devoted to the story "Rozen Maiden" ... it is a manga and anime about magical BJD's fighting each other because the last survivor gets to become a "real" girl
the story can count among it's fans the former Prime Minister of Japan
on the site I had started a thread asking how many of the member fans owned at least one BJD
the reply made to that thread yesterday just totally awestruck me
the dolls in the pic that impressed me ... are the back three in the pic ... as they are customizations done to make the dolls look like 3 of the BJD characters from the story
the owner even made sure to get the odd eye colors for the "twins" ... Souseiseki and Suiseikei ... who have two different color eyes reversed to each other
the owner also had to have made their outfits ... and the workmanship is fantastic
I am guessing the owner is a woman ... because of the screen name they use on that board
this is part of her post
2) When I knew about RM I already have two bjds, but because of the anime I got three bjds that customized myself as my three favorite RM dolls.
3) The names of the complete ones are: Oliver, Valadhiel, Souseiseki, Suiseiseki, Shinku and Dante
4) Oliver is a Chiwoo Elf, Valadhiel is a Bobobie Sprite, Souseiseki and Suiseiseki are two Crobidoll Thor, Shinku is a PW Skiya and Dante is a Little Fée Shiwoo
the names in order of the three across the back ... from left to right are ... Souseikei ... Shinku ... Suiseikei
... I do too ... Shinku is ok ... but my personal favorite is Suiginto ... I love her goth "bad girl" look and attutude ... and I really like they way she has matured in the story and started really caring for her medium
