Meetup New York City meetup - May 13th, 2023

Today's New York City meet was wonderful! It was great to get back to the NYC meet after so many years. The last one I went to was December 2019. It was great to see some old faces and a bunch of new ones. The variety of dolls was amazing as always, too. I'm looking forward to returning during the summer. I don't want to wait three and a half years and outlive a global situation again!

Many thanks to @Minty for keeping the meet going. @hobbywhelmed we miss you!

Some of my favorites today were: The 1/6 scale-looking mature small doll. She's so cute! The absolutely stunning Angel-Philia doll. What a beautiful young lady she is! The gothy-looking elf girl with the long black hair and the jointed fingers? Is that right? Anyway, she's so pretty! The guy with the molded hair and the hat really looks cool. He's a character, but I don't remember who. And I don't know what to call the small grandpa-looking doll with the long ears, but he was a barrel of laughs!

I'll post group shots and an assortment of fun photos here in the topic, and here's a link to all of my photos from today. Note that I marked a couple photos of a beautiful nude doll as moderate on Flickr, so if you're logged into Flickr, you'll see this doll.

More to come...

 

And here are the rest.

 

You're welcome! I'm happy to share the pics for everyone

It is the IBM Building atrium space. No armed guards, at least in the atrium. I didn't go into Trump Tower. Pretty much the same as it always was.

There's a new outdoor area where the old Sony Building space used to be. Or at least part of it. I didn't take a close look at it, but I was talking about it with Minty. They definitely redid that area a lot. I'll try to remember to take some pics of that space next time.

 

Thank you! I had a good time taking the photos and hanging out with everyone

I never heard of Colin the Caterpillar before, but I knew I had to take a photo of it

 

Thank you, @animemom and @Jareth

animemom, hopefully you receive your answer by the owner here

Jareth, the weather was pretty nice when I was taking the earlier photos. It was overcast but not too bad. Kind of humid, though. Then the sun came out for a while Our organizer was visiting England recently and brought over Colin for us.

 

I'm happy to help provide some extra pics I'm looking forward to next time. I might go again next month. It's the only doll meet in NY or NJ that weekend. I thought there was another one down in south NJ but that's happening a different weekend.

 

Your friends are delightful, and I hope they and their dolls come to the meet again! Thank you for sharing this pic. The little Azone dolls are always a welcome sight. They're adorable little cuties!

 

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the photos

I don't know who that doll is. Hopefully his owner pops by this topic.

MistyZenith is asking about this doll, assuming it's not a red X
