Volks Dollfie World Cup!

Posted on by Nikki

Volks Dollfie World Cup 2013

I found out about this about a week ago, and I would LOVE to join it!

Unfortunately, the stars have not aligned for me on this one – but maybe for someone else I know? I would love to see Head #02 in person. Talk about adorable! And Head #01 is totally a School A/Lucas/Chris/that-whole-family base. LOVE IT!

Long story short…

Volks is running a faceup contest internationally.

You can buy up to 2 each of their event heads, do the faceups, and submit for a chance to have your faceup in the qualification round held in Japan! WOOHOO!

All of the initial contest entries are due by April 30.

Definitely enough time to get the head & crank out a couple faceups. Honestly, I love doing faceups on the Volks dolls. Love the resin. Love the sculpts. So easy to paint. And at only $206 each, it’s really not a bad price for a Volks head.

Ah well – maybe next time. In the mean time, check it out for more info!

Luts Cutie Delf Cory

Previous Loves – Hanna

Posted on by Nikki

I have decided to start a series of posts showcasing dolls I have previously owned & loved before.

Hanna was a modded Sleeping Cutie Delf Cory by Luts. She is one that I go back & forth on whether or not I would buy her back if I saw her for sale.

Cutie Delfs were Luts’ original tiny dolls before the Honey Delfs. They had a one-piece, genderless (“Angel”) torso and were single jointed. There were only 2 different face sculpts made – Mary and Cory.

They were very cute, child-like sculpts with chubby little bodies. <3 So cute!

Possible New Doll?

Posted on by Nikki

So I was talking to my sister the other night about the possibility of her getting a doll. I know there are a lot of specials going on, but the biggest concern is to make sure we can get one with monthly payments that won’t be missed. Ideally less than $20/month.

That really makes it difficult to find a doll that is within her budget – but it can be done!

I remember seeing a few days ago that Mint on Card is offering 10% off of the Only-Doll line AND they can be put on a 6-month layaway for any order over $100.

We figured out that if she wanted one of their 1/6 dolls with a faceup, she could get one for around $22/month. OR we could each get one without faceups, have them shipped to me, and it would only be $18/month. Woohoo!

We’re not 100% sure if now is the right time, but the pricing does seem right! Now we are looking at Only Doll 1/6 dolls. Let me tell you, I’m soo tempted by YouBai & YouNan.
