Woo! I've worked out who's on what body I think...

The David Bowie MNM will probably get Drax's current PS body, that or the SG Sabik head... But SG Sabik is supposed to be a bit shorter than most of the other dolls so probably not him...

Drax is now due a WS body of some description - it needs to be paper white though, and of a similar build to his current DZ 72cm body... Hmm... No idea what to go for...

And Havelock will get the Natural White 5-part 73cm Dikadoll that's on order...

Don't even ask about the Benedict Cumberbatch head... All I know is ~70cm would be good... Maybe slightly more muscular than the bodies I currently have...

...Yeah I'm going to be focussing on giving all of my floating heads bodies for a while now... :?

... If I wasn't already doing a layaway for Havelock's body I'd so order Soom Garnet...

I'd fill in the cyborgy lines in either black or gunmetal grey... Then again I don't currently have a female cyborg character that needs shelling :? So I'll resist the temptation...

Gah! I'd been planning a similar look to Garnet's for Anon. but male of course... The plan was to get a fdoll Lionel's body and take a dremel to it!

:oops:

...Worst dollieh owner ever...
I swore no more floating heads until the guys I already have have their bodies...

But... Look at this cute little guy:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Charlie-boy-h ... 43b696aff5

I think he's the perfect head for the little ballet kid that's been in the back of my mind for ages... Got to admit ignoring the brilliant (If terribly expensive new Youth Dolls I've not been that enamoured of Doll-Chateau's head sculpts)

...I was checking out the Fa-Co doll body for Anon. it sounds perfect, good at holding poses a decent match for Volks-ish colours... :? ...I shall NOT buy this guy, after all his resin wont match anything ever ...right? :|

That sounds suitably frightening. But seriously, he's a really cute sculpt, but are you going to enjoy him as a floating head? Personally floating heads make me really anxious. If that bothers you I might try to not buy him. If it doesn't bother you...he is super cute. Those teeth!

In my case floating heads make me really really want to buy them bodies... So they're no longer sitting folornly in little boxes...

Yeah - I'll stick to admiring this guy from afar ( :twisted: at least until everyone already at home is complete... That may be long enough that he'll no longer be available, we'll see)

...Seriously contemplating buying a Fantasy Doll 69cm body in normal and attacking it with a Dremel to get the cyborg look for Anon... There would be gaping holes, EL wire and exposed circuitry, as well as hints that this was a botch/rush job and that actually cyborgs normally look a lot sleeker than Anon. :?

:D Thanks! The idea is growing on me:

1) I finally get to do a drastic mod
2) The Fantasy Doll body is:
a. proportionally perfect for the character
b. cheap!

Edit: Well about as "cheap" as bjds ever get...
