Possible New Doll?

Posted on January 20, 2013 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.

Heard of Aquarius Doll?

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Nikki

I was poking around Den of Angels today and came across an announcement from a new company regarding the launch of their 43cm/MSD line.

Aquarius Doll looks like they just launched at the start of the year.

They look so adorable! And I really wish I was able to get one during their sale. They are offering 10% off dolls + 50% off shipping until February 20.

Check them out! I’m absolutely in love with Ella but Mia & Ava look amazing as well. What do you think?

Tong Tong Restoration Update

Posted on January 13, 2013 by Nikki

I worked on the Tong Tong restoration project today for about an hour. I’m really excited to see the progress on her.

The dye seems like it should all come off with patience and elbow grease. <3 Hopefully she’ll be good as new soon.

Automaton BJD Inspirations

Posted on January 12, 2013 by Nikki

A friend was over tonight and asked me for some files I had on my netbook that I haven’t used in several months. I actually just recently came across a few pictures I had grabbed from Google Images for inspiration while I was digging through the computer for other files and was reminded of some mods I had wanted to do. Unfortunately, I do not have links to the pages they originated from.

I currently have 2 dolls I would like to mod into automatons. I have so many ideas, and am really looking forward to having time to focus on them.

Doll #1 is an old Souldoll SoulKid Aru
When I say old – I mean old-school. She has been discontinued for years, and is on Souldoll’s 2nd MSD-size body which is closer in proportion to Volks MSD. (The 3rd version of the body is when Souldoll switched from the child-like bodies to be more of a mature/slim mini.)

Doll #2 is a damaged Bobobie Bao
I purchased him inexpensively since he was dyed bright red and had some other damage.

I’m so excited to get started on all of the project dolls I have accumulated over the past few years. Hopefully this year will be the year of completion!
