      Our guest speaker, Onegreyelephant, will provide tips and tricks on her faceups.

      Dollfie Display
      2 tables will be provided by Smash! for all Ball-jointed Doll owners to showcase their beloved resin families. Because this venue will be accessible by the general public, please note the following guidelines:
      • All bjds are required to be decently clothed (no nudity) as Smash! is a family-friendly convention.
      • Explicit poses of sexual or violent nature are heavily discouraged as well.
      • Please be very careful with your bjds and ensure they are in care of someone you can trust if you have to leave the display table. Smash! is not responsible for any liabilities incurred during the display of your bjds.
      • If you notice anyone acting suspiciously around the display table, please inform any Smash! personnel in sight immediately and discretely.

    17. I spent most of the day hanging out in the BJD area, and that was the only reason I enjoyed smash so much. Everyone I talked to was lovely and your dolls are beautiful (or handsome).

      Massive thanks to anybody who let me touch and play with their dolls too. Smash was the first time I've seen BJDs IRL, so it was much appreciated :aheartbea

      It's not like I wasn't already convinced about buying my first doll, but after seeing how darling they really are.... well I'm more eager than ever to get mine.

      Thanks again :3
       
    18. angel38: T_T just randomly approach anyone who has a dollfie... that's how we learn who's who... (and then forget their names later on again... XD) I was away from table mostly but I wish I could've met everyone else who went!

      talto: I'm glad you enjoyed the event! =) There will be another meetup sometime in Sydney, I'm sure - so it may help you decide if you still haven't taken that first step. ^^
