Dollieh Sanctuary

I considered not posting my box opening at all but I think it's worth it after all, because of the long wait. Well, four months is not too bad in this hobby, but not knowing where she was and the lack of communication were nerve-wrecking at some point... I'm glad she finally arrived safely yesterday, although today in sunny daylight I noticed that she has a lot of scratches on her head, I hope I can somehow fix/hide those!

I fell in love with this sculpt when I saw one IRL at my very first BJD convention, last Summer at Dolliverse. My boyfriend ordered her for me in November because I'd been looking forward to buying her and I kept having lots of trouble with my paychecks (that I couldn't help). After being disappointed about not being able to pay for her yet another month, he offered to buy her for me as a gift for Christmas AND our 3 year anniversary in one lol. I said I'd be okay with it if she'd be for the next three birthdays as well because of her price, but he said this combo would do XD. And here she is!! All mine!! I was afraid she'd be less of a dream doll for me after I got my first four resin kids since we bought her, but she still is the doll I've been waiting for <3

First proof of her arrival, the AE logo I've been waiting for:


Hey, a little note

How sweet... some free socks (pink - the entire package suffered from severe pink overload) and two necklaces...


... one of which says 'Bad boy'... yeah XD. Won't be very useful for me.

Some free acrylic eyes and putty:


I think AE's 'slogan' is very funny:

But to make a typo on your official certificates is even worse:


One pink overload coming up! Pink cushion...

With pink ribbons...

And a pink-taped mummy!


So here she is <3

Such a pretty face!

All ten of her fingers are present!


Her posing and jointing is so different from the dolls I already have. She sits like a champ. Her joints were obviously designed to do this.


Easter egg:

And from the back:


I was hoping this girl would be a real girly girl and I think she is indeed! I bought her a hairband (for humans) with a bow on it a while ago and it seems to suit her

Okay, let's try on some wigs!

Errr... no. I'll be selling this one. It's a Dollmore wig but I think it looks... odd.


Again, no. NO.


My sold Obitsu Joshua girl Eva's 8/9-Monique-J-rock-wig <3


My sold Obitsu Gretel girl Sosha's wig... with the bow.


A Dollzone wig that I bought with trimmed bangs. Nah.


She's got the blues!


Another Dollzone-wig. I'll be selling this one too, I think.


This one made me doubt my choice... it looks so wonderful on her! But it's Ellie's wig!!



Bingo! This is the wig I planned for her and it looks just like I thought it would. Prepare for some picspam below ^^













"Yeah, you're done taking pictures now."


I'm not an experienced BJD owner but I can already tell that this girl's body is SO different from the other dolls' I have. It poses wonderfully and I can't wait to take pictures of her!!!

I need to save up for a good camera though...

I don't know her name yet by the way. And the eyes I planned for this girl months ago, were stolen by Marcus (IH JID Ryan). The backup eyes were stolen by Wendy (Only-Doll RuoDie). I might be using the 16mm green Hujoo cats eyes I have on her...

Ooh she'd look gorgeous in those Hujoo eyes. She looks gorgeous, (XD I giggled at the massive amount of pink. My favorite color is pink actually but all of my dolls sans for Haruka and Haruhi hate it.)

She looks so adorable in her wig I can't wait to see how she looks face-upped.

I'm so glad you finally got her home, she looks like she seems to be fitting in so well already1 <3

I like the blue wig on her, but the brown wig and blonde also look great. She is gorgeous.

That's a lot of pink!

She is wonderful! I think the blonde wig is perfect, and I love her in her little black shoes and pink socks.

Thanks guys! About the overload of pink: they must have known that she's a real girly girl

I bought the black shoes for her ages ago and I'm glad they fit her so well. The white shoes were meant for Wendy (Only-Doll RuoDie), but they fall off of her feet constantly. My Blueberry has bigger feet, so they're hers now. They suit her style better anyway

She's a very beautiful dollieth.

She is lovely. I am glad she finally made it home to you.

Thanks so much guys!

I tried doing her faceup today, but I failed. Just doing her eyebrows took me hours and hours and I wiped them afterwards. I don't mind working on her and taking my time, but I had to stop because daylight was fading . I'll try again tomorrow.

I now know her name by the way, it's Anne, pronounced the Dutch way: Ah-nuhh with the emphasis on Ah.
