I was furious but I decided 'screw it' I wasted all the time waiting and keeping watch on it when I could have bought something else. I saw the same head, same seller the next day!!!!!! My mom said next time something like that happens to tell her because according to her I should have gotten the head!

If I see the same head again I'm leaving such negative feedback it'll make their head spin! (Pun not intended)

I'm keeping my eyes out for props and such like Iwako erasers, Re-ment and I keep my eyes out for good deals...

The biggest reason why I didn't try to get the head was examining it's photo I could see it looked like it's hair was cut messily. Ciel has bangs...This head didn't have it not even swept aside.


I honestly don't know what happened there, you can't end the auction if the time left is less than 12 hours. Maybe it is different for powersellers? I do know that when I had to cancel one of my auctions early it still would show up on search results for a bit.. Maybe that is what happened?

It said it had been removed after I placed my maximuim bid on it. He removed it just after I clicked place bid.

OH. MY. GOD.

Good people still exist. This is insane. I finally got the Little Pullip Seine I told you about. She sent the doll again... WITH a free $100 Isul dull. Just for me being so friendly and patient when my doll wouldn't arrive. What the... I just received the big box and I am absolutely flabbergasted. Did I deserve a free $100 doll..? Seriously..??????

Here they are, still boxed. I'll debox them in a few minutes. The Isul boy is so feminine and I don't like boy dolls, I'm totally gonna put him on a female Obitsu and turn him into a girl lol!

Crap.. I'm screwed.. haha!

Me, who always said she hated big headed and out of proportion dolls. Who loved Pullip's pretty face but didn't like the big heads and hence made Little Pullip hybrids... Well, that same person fell in love with this big headed doll I unexpectedly got for free...

When he was still boxed there was no spark at all, but as soon as I held him in my hands I was hooked. I think I need to get him/her a friend asap!!!!! Hahahahaha!

And he's actually very posable, I don't think I need to Obitsu him/her, she's fine the way she is!

I can't explain it. At some point I got a refund which I didn't ask for, so I paid her again... It was my gut feeling it would be okay, I guess. I don't know.

I guess I've been really lucky ... I've made purchases of dolls/accessories/clothes etc from eBay, DenofAngels Marketplace and Etsy, and the only one that went south was a wig ordered from an Etsy seller. I paid $15, seller went on vacation and never returned, wig never arrived. Not bad, after all the hard-to-come-by dollars I've sent out there...
Bear with me while I think of something profound to put here...
