Dollieh Sanctuary

Not kidding. This one arrived today.

To be fair, this little cutie is the doll I snagged from Nekosandy. He was a limited edition, and I KNOW that she pretty much stalked him for close to a year before being able to purchase him. In other words, good luck trying to find a replacement at a later date, his non-limited version rarely turns up on the second-hand marketplace as it is. He's now essentially my little hostage till she can pay back what I spent on him.

While he's here, I'm going to do some routine maintenance on him. Most likely also give him a new face-up. The current one is one of my older ones, and I'd much rather him have a 'fresher' appearance. ^.~

Anyway, on to the paltry box-opening.

If you're not in a big hurry to get your doll, using parcel post as a shipping option is really economical. Downside is that it takes about a month or so to reach the destination. This box was something along the lines of $17 to ship from Iowa to Puerto Rico. It's a good sized box.







With PLENTY of padding and cushiouning in there with this little cutie.







Not kidding about the padding. I think Nekosandy shoved a whole roll of bubble-wrap in here. XD









Yohji: ....I don't wanna get up.







Yohji: Geeze lady. Fine. I'll get up! >.<







Yohji: Why are you making me stand up? You know I've got a broken hip.
Me: Yeah, you can still stand. That hip will also be taken care of... it's not that hard to deal with.





Oh yeah, I should probably actually say WHAT he is. XD

Yohji is an Angelregion Tanning Kai. Short little thing, absolutely adorable. ^___^

So .... another doll with an attitude problem in the house, huh?

Yay! I'm so glad he got there safely. Of course, I packed him well! I didn't know how rough his trip would be since it's getting into the holiday season and he was going parcel post. I actually really love those tie pillows. I don't remember where I got them, but I kept one set and that is the set that is keeping Zenyatta and Mohini safe at the moment.

I really like that 4th pic. It seems so Yohji to just be peaking out like that and not getting up. I'm surprised you got him to stand with his leg like it is though. Hopefully, the fix will be as easy as you think it is. It's still stupid that the company put that extra joint in there when it doesn't even move. Here's hoping that is something they fixed in their later models.

What a pretty face! Will be nice to see more of him.

Aww, he's so adorable. If I were made of money I'd buy off the whole collection listed for sale.

Haha, but it is so nice in comfortable in there! I wouldn't want to get up either.

He's a cutie! Good luck with the maintenance.
