Hey everybody! It's been an age. Health problems have kept me away and money has been tight so buying any of my normal 1/6 dollies hasn't been an option as of late (hoping to hop back on the Medicom wagon come 2015 though, some beautiful dolls are coming out!, in addition to me having an open order with the lovely Setsuna and her her sister! <3).
I realize this question might not have an easy answer, but, since this forum has no Want To Buy option, where do you all suggest looking for Volks male bodies? In specific the Neo Goh Guy ones like Yamato and Takeru from their WTG series? I see them pop up on Ebay once in a blue moon but they're always absolutely ridiculous in price. Right now there's two up there, both are definitely imperfect and the joints on the one are starting to discolour badly, and they're up for $84 each. I just don't feel like this is accurate, especially when there are mint female dolls in box right above them for $34 with free shipping. I'm well aware the relative rarity of them might bump them up and extra $10 or so, but anything above that starts to make me wary.
I'm also interested in the EB Beauty males too, to a lesser extent. I've never really seen these ones for sale, except for the odd body that comes with a head that's been customized. Just...I need male dolls that aren't Obitsu for some things!
If anyone one here is thinking of (or would be willing to) letting one or two go, *RAISES HAND*.
If not though...is there a place to ask this? I've thought about One Sixth Warriors but...the collectors of Japanese made dolls seems pretty small there. Obviously DoA is a no-go...I'm just rather stuck. I know people own these. And I know they sell them! But where!? Are they truly that rare now, when these things were mass produced? I've even searched Japanese auction sites but don't seem to have much luck (though they definitely seem to have a higher selection in general)...
Am I looking for that magical unicorn? I've got one guy, but he's lined up for a character doll already, I'd love to have at least two or three that aren't ready for the ol' custom mill immediately.
