The Dollieh Waiting Room

[Vetinari]

Gods yeah, after 5 years of constant moving and one-room flats I'm not sure how I'm going to cope with an actual house/apartment in future! I've got a horrible feeling that there'll be a Room With No Name!

Ah - therein lies the problem! There currently isn't a concept - Beyond the possible name of Ramin I have no idea who he's going to be either! He's one of those purely impulse buys; where I got him because I love the sculpt but I didn't and still don't have a character in mind for him... Normally I have at least some idea of what I'd like the doll to end up as; even if that doesn't always happen. I'm open to suggestions! I've realised my doll-gang has a lack of "normal" human beings, but having said that the non-humans aren't inhuman superbeings in the traditional sense... Eh

(The last doll I had no idea for was Elrana, but thinking back on it the character idea was already there I just hadn't realised she'd be the doll that would end up representing it! Heh - and most of the following dolls have really revolved around her and her universe! ...Not that you'd know it with how little she's been photographed; I think I may have finally put her outfit together but I'll have to wait until late September to see if it actually fits)

Heh, well, that explains it then Tough one! Maybe he'll be one of those who come home first and reveal who they are after they've hung around for a bit ...
As soon as my Bernard and his body come in I can show pics of a Dollshe head on the taller of the Miro bodies, I'm pretty curious as to how that'll turn out myself.

Well I'm currently waiting for Holt Hyde Swim Class from the Justice website. I think I got Holt. He wasn't technically in stock but I bought him and it says I bought him so we shall see who actually shows up at my door. XD I'm really hoping it is him because then I will be content with my 1/6th dolliehs until Slow Moe comes out. And I don't want to deal with returning it if it's the wrong one. -_-

Waiting on my Hujoo action doll body, Haruka head (the Gretel lost XD) Eyes and a wig. My hybrid dolly is coming into existence. >w<

[Vetinari]

He stands!


Typical position his head seems to prefer, can't really look down


Proportion-shot:


And looking typically grumpy:


I think DZ yellow will probably be a better match colour wise, but I'm not sure since my only doll in that colour is down in London at the moment.

Shweeeet. Thank you, that helps a lot! He's looking great The Grumpster (tm), yet perfect.
Judging by how the Miro 60cm body's measurements compare to the DS65, I guess the Miro will be just what I'm aiming for for mine (whenever that'll be ... I'm trying to hold my horses, I've got other characters I need home first if those photostories are ever supposed to happen ). Still, can't thank you enough! And congrats again, too

I just made the last payment on an Avatar Blue Miro SD sized Wind that someone on DOA was selling. She'll probably be on the road by Saturday. I was thinking of getting the Lilac one she had too but I just could not swing it cash-wise. Not a lot of work this month and I'm not too sure next month is going to be much better if it stays hot so I decided not to go for the Lilac one. I can't really afford to pay cash for dolls right now. It's either use a credit card or forget it, and I've been doing way, way too much of that kind of shopping actually.

Other than getting Catty Noir in Sept and saving up for a body for Kelly The Headless Boy I think I'd better cool it on buying anything else doll-wise for the rest this year. This new BJD hobby thing is putting a serious dent in my finances even if they are only Miro and RS dolls, even with half of them bought second hand.

I was totally coveting that blue Wind though from the moment she first posted pics of her. She was a must buy and it was only $110 shipped. I saved myself at least $35 probably buying her used. I can't wait to see her up close. That is such a beautiful color and I have major plans for her, face up, her outfit and stuff.

The companies waiting time for a doll I have on layaway and the doll I was going to put on layaway have increased T__T two separate companies too.

[Vetinari]

Yeah he's incredibly grumpy; I thought he'd improve after getting a body but no! Now he starts complaining about his lack of hair and ...any type of clothing

Woo! Ransom paid ( ¬.¬ with a 50% processing fee on top...) my 2 Dollshe floating heads should get delivered tomorrow.... Shame it'll be to the address that I'm not currently at! Still only 2 and a bit more weeks and then it'll be a dollieh bonanza! I'll finally be able to see my Sabik(s) in person, do new face-ups and Elrana's long awaited outfit receival can actually happen!

My buy one get one half price DZ body has been shipped too; so I'm guessing our postman is going to be a bit when he sees all of these parcels coming in!

[Vetinari]

Belated and extremely belated box opening pics soon! The two Dollshe heads are gorgeous, though v.definitely 7-8 size rather than 8-9. I'd completely forgotten that I'd ordered SA Saint! And Sabik is lovely, and huge... Ye gods his box is twice the width of the next largest one... (And that box is actually in a shipping box as well) And yep, it's as I suspected Super Gem Sabik is incredibly pink, and he doesn't match Dollzone pink at all. Methinks some intentional yellowing may be in order with this particular head...

But gods... I'm temporarily back in the tiny box room with no space for anything. There's going to have to be a cull of things since this is utterly ridiculous! I think most of the Monsters are going to have to go for a start (think I'll keep my two Ghoulias though)

Oh and extremely surprised and pleased to note that my V&A copy of Heathen, in "orange" vinyl (it's actually brown) is no. 12 out of the run of 500!! And my red copy of The Next Day is 1 of the 80 copies signed by Paul Smith of all people! Huh!
