cute girls. is anyone ordering the tan mei mei or the new abby from jpop?

 

Not me, I'm waiting on Gracie and have a Tobi on layaway. Altho the coffee Miki is very tempting.

 

i didn't see miki? is she through jpop too or is there someone else that sells kaye wiggs dolls? i'm still waiting for ny elf gracie and cant afford another either, but i like to look

 

Coffee tan Miki will be available for pre-order soon through Jpop, but she isn't up yet.

Oh, and there is also soon going to be extra sales of Yani coming up, so anyone who wanted her might still have a chance to snag her.

They've announced this on the Facebook group.

 

Yes, I've ordered Abby and she really is the last doll I buy this year I can't afford another unless I sell someone and I'm running out of dolls I want to part with!! I'm borrowing money from an inheritance and need to pay it back but I'm finding dolls just aren't selling like they used to a few years ago, so need to think carefully before buying anymore. I love Abby though, and I have SK Gracie on the Tobi body on order who will be best friends with my recently bought Laycee (extras are still available, she's clearly not as popular as some sculpts). There are no other current sculpts I want, so unless Kaye brings out an adorable face I can't resist my KW collection will be done at 7 (Mei Mei, Essie, Yani, Talyssa, Laycee, Gracie and Abby). And if Kaye does sculpt a must-have face, it'll be months before the doll is up for ordering so I have time to save for next year.

I think tan Miki will be really popular, but she's not for me (phew!).

 

that's what i'm finding too. i think it's because everyone's dollar is so poor against the us dollar right now, most of us just can't afford the dolls we used to get. luckily so far the new ones haven't grabbed me like gracie so i'm content with the one i'm waiting for.

 

I hope I can buy coffee Miki, she's stunning!

 

Has anyone received their Gracie? Curious as to when she'll start shipping from the first order group.

 

i was the second order group. but according to jopos preorder page the first group "fair is in shipping process" which i think means they are shipping the fairs now, but not the sunskissed? can't wait to see owner pics.

 

I bought Laycee in October from their overrun and wish I had held out! The day after I received Laycee they announced Abby and I would have so much rather had her! I am tempted by the coffee tan Maurice girl but now you say there may be overruns available on Yani? Geez, I can't keep up!!!

 

Hi Ikayet, we have already sold the extra Yani's. Sorry

 

if anyone is interested jpop just announced another gracie preorder white and coffee this time

 

I love the white elf on the Mei Mei body, but I have Gracie, sunkissed on the Tobi body, incoming on the second preorder so I shall resist

 

i have an elf gracie coming from that order too, and i like the skin color i'm getting better. i'm a little disappointed that they only have the elves available in the lighter color each time though. i had to choose between the elf ears or the tan. and they have done it again this time.

 

I was just looking at the site and yeah, I'm disappointed they aren't offering her in coffee with elf ears. A little tanned elf girl would be so cute! I do kind of like the white skin version, though. She'd make a pretty little snow elf with a white wig and blue and white color scheme.

 

hopefully someone will get her and do one up that way, cause that would be pretty. white skin just doesn't work for me. i only have one white skinned doll, and she is more ivory than white.

 

I really like the more vivid faceup on the white skin, but it would only work as an elf for me. If I had loads of money I'd definitely get her and style her 'elfy'

 

I've not posted in here in ages, I'd sort of lost interest in my Kaye girls.... A friend of mine even suggested that maybe I should put my Hope up for adoption, however, a funny thing happened on the way to Evilbay.....I fell back in love with her, and can honestly say that over the last week or so, Hope has become one of my favourites of all my dolls and she ain't going nowhere!!!! Thank goodness I came to my senses in time!
I took her to the beach today for our Sunday morning walk, and she really is such a sweetie, what on earth was I thinking!!!!

 

she is a lovely girl! i tend to go through phases with mine, playing more with one than another for a while, but i try not to make any decisions to rehome unless i have lost all interest, or never "bonded" in the first place and a new faceup/wig or clothes doesn't fix it.

 

You already know my feelings on your gorgeous Hope, Sharon - I'm very happy she's staying with you

 

Thanks very much auntbear! I'm the same but just lately my bigger girls just didn't do anything for me, but I'm so happy now that I've made my decision and she's staying. I now need to make her a new wig as she's borrowed this one from someone else and it's not a good fit, and then when I get a chance she'll get a new outfit or two!

I do indeed Kathryn! Thanks though, I'm glad you like my Hope

 

Ohhhh, dambuster -- sure glad you are keeping your beautiful Hope ! Wow, what a photo.

 

Thanks so much ruskyles, I'm glad you like her and the photo

 

Im so glad you came to your senses!!! She is absolutely stunning

 

Hi! I have been lurking this thread for quite some time, but only now got the courage to actually post something here. This is my Lottie. She is a sunkissed version of the Layla sculpt. I am so in love with these cuties and currently have three Kaye Wiggs dolls in my collection. I find their faces to be so wonderfully expressive.

what a pretty girl! that creamy wig really accents her skin tone

 

Oh, Kaye Wiggs very pretty bjd!

 

Thank you for liking my Lottie, Auntbear. Here is my other Kaye Wiggs doll, Mei, who is a sunkissed Miki.

Thanks very much Ridgeley!

Mimosa10 your girls are both gorgeous, soooo pretty! I love your Layla in her light coloured wig!

 

another pretty girl (of course i think layla is just a bit cuter, since thats who im waiting for )

 

I have to say that I've always loved my Layla too, who is called Loulou, auntbear. She is the younger sister of my Hope and can be very headstrong!
Here is an old photo of her in an outfit she chose for herself!!!

 

what a cutie, she has great fasion sense!

 

I am so glad that you are keeping your Hope, dambuster01. She is such an amazing sculpt and very rare as far as I know, so you might regret letting her go. I love how you have styled her, too. She looks so warm and cozy in her lovely outfit.

I have a soft spot for Layla, too, because she was my first KW doll. I also totally agree with auntbear. Dambuster01's Layla has a great fashion sense.

How wonderful that you are getting a Layla, too, auntbear. You will love her to bits as she is a total sweetheart. Can I ask which Layla are you waiting for?

 

im getting an elf on a mei mei body. i'd have loved the sunkissed as that skin tone is gorgeous! but the elf was only available in ns and i wanted the elf more. shes going to be my first kaye wiggs doll, (and with the way our dollar is plummeting lately my last) so im really excited about her

 

LOL Thank you auntbear! She certainly has a style all her own!

Thanks Mimosa. I think you're right on Hope. Someone told me that there were a lot of them made but of course the sculpt won't be made again and not in any other skin tones, so that has made her expensive. If I'd sold her and regretted it, which I'm sure I would have done, I doubt I'd have been able to afford to replace her.
I was going to say that Layla was also my first KW doll but actually she wasn't, because prior to her I had a Pepper on a Volks SD10 body which I bought directly from Kaye herself some years ago. I only sold her because she was just too big for me....I prefer MSD or smaller.

You will love her auntbear, it's such a cute sculpt. I really like that smaller Mei Mei body and if I could I would have my Layla on it too as she is supposed to be the smaller, younger sister, but of course that body wasn't available when I got mine.

 

i'm sure i will. i've looked at them for a long time, but this was the one that said she really needed to come live with me.

 

You will love her Auntbear, it took me a long time to adopt a KW girl but now I am addicted. They have a magical quality to them, well they do to me and Mei Mei was my first and most adorable

 

Where can you purchase one of these dolls?

 

Through Jpops in the US, sign up for the email and you'll get notified when dolls are released. There is also a forum called the Resin Cafe, where Kaye shows her latest sculpts, so you get an idea of who might be up for preorder next.

My larger KW girls don't get out much anymore, but I did manage a photo of Miki last week....

 

gorgeous dress, was it her birthday?

 

No, but now that you mention it, maybe I should throw her a party when it actually is. Maybe let the bigger girls have a turn this year.

 

This is Miki when she first arrived back in 2011.

 

that would be fun, and a great excuse to make more of your fabulous dresses and cakes!

pretty girl. what does she look like now?

 

Miki in her favorite hair color.

 

i can see why, that red really enhances her coloring

 

Thank you, I think so too

 

My sunkissed Gracie on the Layla body finally wandered in the door yesterday. I'm waiting for her to tell me her name.

I am delighted to have found this thread. I have a fair Talyssa and have pre-ordered a coffee tan Mikki which i am excited to receive. These dolls are wonderfully expressive. Here is my Talyssa

 

two lovely new girls!

 

Hello!
Here is my Izzy!

 

she is lovely! what skin tone is that?

my gracie elf arrived this week but i still have to figure out a wig and clothes for her before i introduce her to the thread. she is a lot bigger than my other msd sized dolls. (poor girl is doomed to be a misfit, normally i might be tempted to listen to her pleas for someone else her size as a companion, but there are no more dolls coming home in the foreseeable future so i think maybe she will have to be a bookworm or something.)

 

auntbear,
Thank you!
Izzy is in tan.
I'm also waiting for Gracie in fair from the second preoder, and i don't know when jpop start to send its,

 

my gracie was from the second preorder so they are starting to come

 

Just one pic of Soft Pink Laryssa

 

that is such a pretty dress, and i love how it brings out the blue in her eyes

 

Thank you, @auntbear !
