Box opening: AE Blueberry [IMG HEAVY!]

Postby Evelien » Thu Mar 15, 2012 4:02 pm

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:
Image
Image
Hey, a little note ;)
Image
How sweet... some free socks (pink - the entire package suffered from severe pink overload) and two necklaces...
Image
Image
... one of which says 'Bad boy'... yeah XD. Won't be very useful for me.

Some free acrylic eyes and putty:
Image

I think AE's 'slogan' is very funny:
Image
But to make a typo on your official certificates is even worse:
Image

One pink overload coming up! Pink cushion...
Image
With pink ribbons...
Image
And a pink-taped mummy!
Image

So here she is <3
Image
Such a pretty face!
Image
All ten of her fingers are present!
Image

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.
Image

Easter egg:
Image
And from the back:
Image

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.
Image

Again, no. NO.
Image

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

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

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

She's got the blues!
Image

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

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

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

Image

Image

Image

"Yeah, you're done taking pictures now." :P
Image

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
A hobby isn't supposed to leave you wistful, regretful and vaguely disappointed. BJD collecting is as customizable as the dolls themselves. Do whatever pleases you the most, because otherwise, why do it at all? All for the 'Gram Bitches love the 'Gram.

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

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 ;)

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. :D
