Doll North (May 25-27th 2018) Information & Discussion

Whoot! Somebody else with a Sugarble naga. Mine, Nassano, is coming with me. This may require a photo since you see these guys rarely in the wild.

 

What is the one thing you are hoping to find this year at DN? For me it's some more eye bases. Last year I bought some and tried making my own eyes for the first time. I really enjoyed it so I hope I find them again so I can make some more eyes.

 

I’m really looking forward to going to Canada for the first time, being able to walk around with dolls in my arms, meeting people and seeing vendors in person - no waiting for shipping!!

Oh my gosh, yes please! I'll be dressed in a matching kimono with Takehiko all day during the doll market, so please come see me, I'd love to get pictures of the Naga's together. What head did you get with yours? I got mine with a white tail and the Rudy head, it's a shame they don't produce any of the old models now : ( I would have loved to get an Aiko or Mori as well.

 

How do I make sure my name is on the list for Angeltoasts faceup workshop?

 

Tickets to the workshops are available here: Anime North 2018

Unfortunately the AngelToast workshop is already sold out, but you will be able to meet and speak with her in the Doll Market at her sales table so please do stop by

 

I did purchase tickets through eventbrite but i wanted to confirm

 

If you purchased a ticket you'll be on the list, you'l likely have a confirmation email or able to see your tickets in your account on Event Brite. We receive the registration list from Anime North at the start of the event, but I wouldn't worry about it if you have a confirmation email. If you do want to double check please send us an email with your registered name and the workshop you registered for to: [email protected]

 

Hey what actually happens at the doll north swap meet? I have some clothes that don't fit my dolls and some extra eyes I don't need. Is it trade only or like... I just don't know what happens at all lol.

 

It's very informal, the spirit of the event is a 'swap meet' where transactions are mostly trades, but we understand that not everyone will have items to trade so cash exchanges are still allowed. It takes place in the Regent room where we have a number of tables and chairs and floor area (if it came to that). Most swappers will set up a little section of a table with their items (normally near a friend) and then go explore around the room and look for things you'd like to swap for, when you find something you like bring that person back to your spot and show them what you have to offer and hopefully a deal can be made. Those that have few items can carry them with them and make trades on the go as they travel around the room. There is no reserved spacing and we ask that everyone share the space and be kind to your neighbor, whenever possible consolidating some of the larger table spreads so that everyone can participate. The swap meet is also a great time for socializing and with the longer time slot this year we think it's going to be a mix of meetup and swap meet.

 

Whoop! Tomorrow's the day! (Though I just noticed it is after midnight as I'm typing this. Oops)
I'm happy to say that my DC Xaviera, Selene, made the plane trip all safe 'n sound. I'm probably going to bring her to the tea party~ And maybeee my Ashes too?
I also have some wigs and eyes I don't really use to bring to the swap meet.

 

I don't own any resin dolls, but I'm super excited to see everyone else's dolls and hopefully buy one for myself! It's my first doll con and I'm both over the hills and super nervous since i'm only 14 ;-;

 

It was so lovely to meet people! Thank you for making a newbie feel welcome! I learned a lot

 

Thanks! It was a highlight of my year, and everyone was so kind and welcoming, I hope I can see you guys again before the next Doll North.

 

I had such a great time at Doll North this year. It was my first time going and I absolutly cant wait to go again next year!!
