So cute! He even has shoes, something my guys dream of...

I’ve been out of the sharing loop here, sorry. I’ve reached the point I am only collecting Pokémon figures again. They are fun, and a few a month are something to look forward too. I have been working on my Japanese dollhouse parts and have the first three finished. I am now landscaping the back garden, but am too busy over the holidays to finish it right now. The landscaping is hard, as less is more, and everything has to be purposefully arranged, but look natural. I think I have it figured out, I just need to make the ferns (I already made the bamboo), and the water feature.

 

@Magical Rin , I love your Halloween photo series, that last one is perfect!
@SteamWitch , great outfit for such a tiny guy. Nice wig too, it's a shame Monique is closing their business. I just scooped up some of my favorite styles in different colors and sizes before they disappear.

Here are my o.t. birbs enjoying their favorite treat.
How happy can you be? by Nadine, on Flickr

 

I just got an update on shipping for an order I paid for last May! It was shipped via boat in September, and is now in the US. Still waiting for a Nendoroid stuck in Japan though, and my last Nendoroid pre order finally came in to BBTS (it was to be released this Spring). I’m done, no more pre orders for figures.

 

@phanuel I just ordered a bunch of wigs too. Hopefully I got what I'll need for a while. Too bad about them though.

I have so many parts left over from my Nendo & Picco Neemo raid that I'm not sure what to do about them. I'll figure it out one day.

@SteamWitch wow, so many parts! It’s like a treasure chest!

 

@kurogane It is and I can get lost in it quite easily being a hoarding dragon. Still there are some pieces I'll never use.

 

I suppose that you could sell the surplus Nendoroid parts to the Chibi Chop Shop if you were so inclined - but who wants to lessen a hoard?

 

Can't show mine to you yet because I just ordered him. And I'm assuming he'll be off-topic. But if you guys haven't already seen these whatevers, you should check them out. I got the baby version but scroll down to see the larger one.

Baby Arnold - Doll Chateau 8cm Special Doll - BJD, BJD Doll, Ball Jointed Dolls - Alice's Collections

 

I thought those would fit into your collection @phanuel They are adorable.

 

@SteamWitch , another impulse buy, but they often turn out to be my favorites. I'm only getting the little one though as I had just ordered Dream Valley's Peanut, the little cyclops kitty.

 

@SteamWitch, very cool custom Nendo once again, he's adorable. I am a bit jelous of your cool kit-bash stash! (:


@phanuel, you always have the most interesting and unique creatures to share with us! Those birdy ones are so cute! The Arnold one is so precious! I'm kind of tempted...DX


@kurogane, I just received one of the two shipments I had shipped via boat. It is really unnerving, because the other ones are two Sasuke Uchiha prize figures, that were kind of expensive for prize figures. DX I'm kind of holding my breath here, becuase I always have mixed luck when communicating with AA, sometimes their person is super kind and responds to all my questions, other times it feels like they kind of brush me off. I hope my Sasuke get here safe... in about two months. T_T;;

Here's the one shipment that got here safely by boat; I was tempted to get all, but I considering how expenisve Demon Slayer tends to be (more so second market), I think I'lll just stick to my fave ones.


And this tine-tiny guy, that I knew was going to be tinier than most other gachapon I own, but I'm never truly prepared -- I even own the other one, that's often labeled as "noodle stopper," but I'm not sure if it's offically one. This one is not any less cute for its size, but holey salty crackers, he's tiny! I had lost hope of ever getting him, because for a gachapon, he was pretty high up there in price then I never saw him a gain after a few years. However, I manage to get one recently for not too insanely high of a price (for what the figure truly is).

 

@Enzyme gosh, you have great taste in figures! I’m glad items sent via boat do arrive, eventually. I like gashapon figures, but yes, they are very expensive. It would be fun to go to Japan and get some first hand, lol.

For Christmas this year I got the fabulous idea to do a Pokémon themed Advent Calendar. I even found the perfect wooden crate with 24 compartments in it, at Michael’s on clearance for less than $5.00! I sanded it, and stained it, now I just need to fill it with Pokémon and cover the front so I can open each day. I will be able to use the box as a display during the other 11 months. Only downside is, I already know what’s inside the calendar as I bought them myself. Oh well, it’s something anyway.

 

@Enzyme He is pretty adorable if a bit grumpy. It cracks me up that his lovely wig cost more than he did. (I'm also sad that Monique's is closing..). I am very happy that the picco neemo clothes fit.

 

Kurogane, thank you! I wish I didn't "love" so many characters, I would save so much money to spend on who knows what else, because I am a weirdo who doesn't like anything other than toys and animals and I can't collect those. DX Thant avent calendar idea is pretty cool! I wish I had the time and patience to build one myself.



SteamWitch, I've actually stopped myself from purchasing/customizing some dolls because of how inexpensive they are, compared to how much it would cost to hibridize them (like Barbie heads on action figure bodies). I guess it shouldn't matter how in/expensive a particular toy part is when doing a customization, but I am a weirdo. (:



Stellarphenomena, she's so beautiful! I always wanted one of the Soom Lilia (sp?) ones (I don't know if they are still available), but I want to keep my big-headed dolls to male only. I love Lukia's mouth shape, her nose is very interesting looking!



Here's a toy haul mostly from November and a few other random things from all over the past year.
From top left, top row: Bandai Figuarts mini Giyu Tomioka "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba figure; FuRyu Yuru Camp Nadeshiko Kagamihara Mini Figure; Banpresto JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Golden Wind Q posket Bruno Bucciarati ver.B figure. Bottom: MegaHouse NARUTO Nyan tomo Ookina Nyaruto Series Sasuke Uchiha; GoodSmile Nendoroid InuYasha figure; FuRyu Persona 5 The Royal Noodle Stopper Goro Akechi prize figure. Front row: Cospa InuYasha Acrylic Pinched and Sesshomaru Acrylic Pinched charms; Contents Seed Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion PALE TONE series Acrylic Stand Lelouch Zero Clothes Monochrome ver.



I also got five clear files, one from Kingdom Hearts (a metallic one of Sora), two from Persona 5, and one from Inuyasha, but I got lazy and didn't want to take extra crappy photos of glossy plastics, with my crappy cellphone camera. I need a new one, because the last time I dropped my old (and only) actual camera, I kind of killed it. I don't know I'll be able to justify getting one though, because I still need a lot of stuff to be shipped from Japan, a lot of pre-orders, and other stuff waiting to be paid for. I also kind of got a few shipments sent by boat (more than I actually requested/expected), which I wasn't a pleasant surprised and didn't even get notified about a few. This is kind of no longer fun, if it ever was. DX

 

@Enzyme so many goodies! I’m not even looking at figures anymore, the shipping is frustrating. I sympathize! I’m having issues with the USPS and taking their time with my Pokémon. One was to be delivered Nov 25th, but is still somewhere in CA. I didn’t finish the advent calendar, I’ve been too ill with my autoimmune disorder, and overall apathy. Glad to see someone still dedicated!

 

@kurogane, so sorry to hear you're not feeling well. I am a hoarder, and had a ton of pre-orders already before this situation began. I don't like cancelling things, so I am "stuck" with them. Others are already paid for, but I can't justify DHL, because of the other million pre-orders I already have, but having them not notify of shipped stuff is really frustrating. More so when they don't change the order status, it's confusing. I hope you're feeling better soon, and even if you don't get to finish your calendar, I hope you get your Pokémon shipments -- that's another issue I have as well, my local post office, is... an ordeal. Sending good wishes to you, and all of us stuck in this mess. (:

 

@Enzyme thank you! I think I am getting better overall. Better than I was two years ago. It’s the times I’m ill I resent so much, now that I know what feeling good is. Yeah, the shipping without notification is troublesome. You have no idea until the item shows up! So scary! I still have one Nendoroid in Japan that has never been shipped. There are things in Japan I would love to buy, sigh, but I don’t want to pay the price of a Nendoroid, or more in shipping!

 

I finally tried to get a group photo of all my Kiritos but my camera sucks. So I did it this way. They got dusted and are happy boys now no matter how they growl.

 

Yes! Off topics!

My vampire shelf. This is mostly Castlevania, but there's the Legacy of Kain guys there as well, and of course Peter Cushing and Bela himself. A few things by Batchix as well.



Then my Amidalas. I have other 1/6 Star Wars guys as well, but they're in a box right now. Also, half finished baby yoda.



And finally my currently scant video game shelf. My main man Liquid Snake, and the old Play Arts Kai FF7 figures.



A lot of these are custom or altered slightly because the factory paint job was so ugly. Also: dinosaur!

 

Medicine bottle caps are amazing. They are the exact diameter as the neck connector for Nendos. So I have Frankensteined a Nendo/YOSD monster, actually cute boy. I also used the same type of bottle cap to fit a Dollshe head to a Granado Vindoll, with different engineering of course.
You have to cut up the bottle cap I had to remove the ridge that runs around the bottom of the cap.Cut a slit to allow the s-hook to fit inside the cap.

Plus you have to have a dedicated Nendo faceplate as shown in the photo so that the doll's neck fits in the head slot.

Fitting the faceplate into the slots, make sure the bottle cap is the same length as the original nendo neck piece.

Happy Frankenstein-ing!

 

@SteamWitch awesome tutorial and tips! Your guy looks so adorable on the bjd body. Thank you for sharing!

 

@SteamWitch, I agree with Kurogane, awesome tutorial! (:


The rest of my November toy haul arrived! Plus other figures from other months, I had combined, to save on shipping.

From let to right: Banpresto Naruto Shippuden Vibration Stars Sasuke Uchiha II figure x2; POP UP PARADE Tokyo Ghoul Ken Kaneki Complete Figure; GoodSmile Tigma Dororo Hyakkimaru figure; FuRyu Inuyasha Noodle Stopper figure.


Now I just have to worry about all the ones that got shipped by boat without my knowledge.. DX

 

Thank you @Enzyme I clothed him and put him back in his green hair and hat along with the clothes I had that fit him. I need to scrounge around and see what else fits his body, since he is slightly pear-shaped.
I feel you about the shipped on a boat without knowledge, that isn't good especially if you thought you paid for something else.
Inuyasha noodle stopper is so cool, now I want one.

 

@SteamWitch, I hope you find the right clothes for him, he turned out super cute so far. I make most of my dolls clothes, all the BJD ones, but I do purchase 1:6 action figure and fashion doll clothes ready made sometimes, because those are a huge pain in the gut for me to sew. Although, if I need a certain piece, and there are no ready made ones available, I will try to make them even if it kills me and they look like crap in the end. Shoes are another pain in the gut to find, more so the more realistic fabric ones, because I'm vegan, but I prefer the look of actual fabric to molded plastic shoes.

It is a pain in the gut not to be informed when things get shipped, particularly by boat option, because you don't get a tacking number until they are in the carriers hands in the USA. Which could mean forever without any info on them, and when you pay over a certain amount on a single figure, it is kind of super stressful not to know where it is. There's nothing that can be done now, other than wait and hope nothing happens to one of the most expensive figures I've purchased this year. DX

 

I stuck him back in the clothes he was wearing, pukifee pants and a Barbie shirt for now. I know I there are a couple of Pure Neemo shirts that fit him just have to track them down, now that he is cute and all, lol.
Hi by SteamWitch, on Flickr

 

@SteamWitch I’d say, very cute! Makes me wish I had an extra resin body to make one of my own. Not that I need anymore resin, or vinyl children to clothe. But, I keep adopting more anyway.

At chibi chop shop they have Nendoroid doll shoes! My dolls are all so happy to have shoes, it’s a dream come true.

And Monday my Pokémon Advent calendar arrives, so I can do a picture story of my Nendoroid guys getting some Pokémon for Christmas. I have big plans, so I hope I actually do them. So lazy....

 

Yes, please do the shopping for me...

 

@Biofreak659: Wow! Nice collection!

 

Oh wow I love your collection!

 

Biofreak659, cool collection! I am a bit jealous of your Neca Alucard, I never got one myself and sorely regret it now that he's too insanely priced second market. The photos don't show up for me, so I had to edit the photo link to see them. Thanks for sharing your cool figure collection with us! (:


SteamWitch, he's still super adorable. I love the Mario shirt! I've been trying to find them at my local Walmart and Target, but they never have them in-stock. I had to purchase a lot of the Hello Kitty first wave from Amazon, but the 2nd releases were always sold-out or by resellers, at stupid prices for Barbie clothes. Your little guy is looking great though! n__n


Kurogane, I'm already tempted to get parts for the two Nendo bodies I got, and I don't even know for sure if one will go to my Sasuke. Thanks for sharing your findings at Chibichopshop.


Stellarphenomena, gorgeous girl! I love looking at Pullip, since the only one I own will never leave her box. Lol! ^_^




Here are a few more gachapon figues I got recently. I've been looking for the Chara Fortune Kaworu Nagisa that came carded like a tiny MOC figure, but I was sadly never able to get him. He goes for way more than I'm willing to pay for him on the rare occasion I have com across one; I did get a single one from J-Box a million years ago when they were originally released, but I got one of the angels, and never tried my luck again, unfortunately. I did manage to get those two however, and also a full set of the Touken Ranbu Hugot gachapon, and I even managed to get two of Munechika and Kiyomitsu. They are all super adorable, but I really wanted to get those two and Shishiou, so I'm super glad I actually got all five. (:

Well crud, my Fujiwara no Sai has been delayed once again, to January 2021. He was originally due out in September. I was hoping to get him for a belated birthday present for myself. Now he can't be a belated Christmas present. Maybe a Valentine's present???

Thank you @Enzyme,@kurogane I found the shirt at a grocery store toy department along with a Minion shirt and decided I needed them. I'm glad I got those two because the Hello Kitty ones though cute, I don't think any of my tiny guys would like them.

 

@SteamWitch wow, that is a big delay! Thanks for the shirt tip, I’ll keep an eye out for some.

It's amazing how fashion and toys just keep renewing and becoming great again. I love it!!!

I had fun with Severus Snape's Qposket body. This on has a peg for the head to pop on so of course I had to play with it. The peg is too small for the Nendo heads which will fall off if you mess with them, but it sits nicely for photos.

I did something similar with Victor's body but I had to pry his head off and make a neckpiece for a nendo head to plug into.

 

@SteamWitch those are so funny! The head sure changes the entire figure!

I finally got motivated to start opening my Pokemon Advent Calendar! So far I'm really liking the Pokemon, even though they are painted with metallic paints. Guess they are 'shiny', lol. I will take a picture on day 24, so enjoy day 18!

It’s a Pokémon Christmas! by SD Hampton, on Flickr

 

I spy a Goblin King among all those vampires!
I have that same Jareth figure and another Jareth. He’s the only figures I collected so far.

 

Hehe yes, he's stuck next to the rest of them because he vaugely fits the genre and I'm a pedant about organizing them. (I also need to finish repainting him because mcfarlane is... Not Good at eyes)

@stellarphenomena , Wow, I had to look that up, she's a good match for the character! (I like your tree.)

These are my winter cuties, Doll Chateau Snowman, Pipos Snow Man, Doll Family-A Pan Pan, and Aimerai Mr. Snowman. A couple of these were special event critters.

Phanuel, beautiful photos once again! The green coat is gorgeous! Your little winter creatures are adorable as always. (:


SteamWitch, that's super fun! Ever since you posted your Victor hybrid a while ago, I've been tempted to try doing my own custom Sasuke Uchiha Q Posket, but I have failed to find suitable pieces. Thanks for sharing your experiences with it! n___n


Kurogane, super adorable photo! I'm always so impressed with people who take nice photos of their toys, with pretty settings and lighting. I always take boring toy haul photos, because I suck at photography. DX



stellarphenomena, she's beautiful! I thought she was a MGS3 The Boss custom doll when I first saw the photo. Her outfit is really cool, very close to The Boss' tactical suit!



This is another boring "haul" photo, but one I felt I had to take. I am a huge weirdo, so I won't be removing the boxed figure from it's brown Megahouse shipper box. I rarely get figures sealed in their brown shippers, because I usually purchase from Japanese retailers, that remove the shippers then ship figures inside their own boxes, to save on shipping, etc. I know I'll regret it if i do remove it, despite just being a freaking piece of tape, that's sealing it inside. Regardless, I am so happy and can now breath without any stress because this figure is here. He was the most expensive figure I purchased this year and despite having purchased a lot more expensive things in the past, this is the most expensive Sasuke figure I've purchased and I didn't want to have it go missing or getting damaged. I even skipped getting Itachi's GEM figure once again, due both being released at the same time. This figure was mistakenly shipped by boat, no tracking until it got here to the wrong address!! It was a pain in the gut, but he's here now, and undamaged. ^.^;;;


Boring brown Megahouse shipper box holding within my G.E.M. Series NARUTO Shippuden Sasuke Uchiha Shinobi World War ver. pre-painted figure:


I've seen Megahouse's in-hand photos of this figure as well as owner ones and he looks so much nicer than in promos. I hope they do a re-release when I can afford a second one, because I would love to unbox one, but only if I know I have a sealed one. DX

 

@Enzyme , I think I know how you feel. I had a cardboard version of Sleeping Beauty's castle from the Disney movie, which was my favorite one at the time. It was assemble-it-yourself and I believe it was a freebie as it was a promotional item from Hills Brothers Coffee.
Anyhow, I thought it was the most wonderful thing ever. I was talking about it with my cousin and she said, "Oh yeah, my Mom got two of those for me but I never put one together. I still have them." I couldn't believe it and I told her they would probably be worth a nice sum on eBay. (I looked it up and they actually sell them at auction houses!)
A few weeks ago I got an unexpected package and, lo and behold, she had sent me one of the castles in its original unopened mailer!! I was in tears.
Now I just can't bring myself to open that time capsule. She says she wants to see pictures of me assembling it and I said I would wait until after the holidays. Hope I can bring myself to do it.

 

@Enzyme thanks! Yep, that little bit of tape! When I got my RAH Edward Alric figure (secondhand and still paid quite a bit) I debated whether or not to remove him from the box. In the end I took him out. Same with my RAH Link. It’s a tough decision for sure.

 

@phanuel, how amazing of your cousin to send you one of their castles! I wouldn't know what to do either, I can fully understand your dilemma! Whether you decide to remove and build the castle, or keep it sealed forever, I hope you feel you'd made the right choice once you've done it! I hope you do share photos with us, if you do decide to build it! Happy Holidays! (:


@kurogane, I recall seeing the RAH Edward and Al for the first time on the old-now-defunct Y! DD group, I was super impressed with them. The person who posted them took very lovely photos of both, and I was then convinced I would one day own at least one RAH. Now I own eight of them, all still sealed in their boxes because I have only heard bad things about them breaking and I am super paranoid. I usually unbox my fully articulated action figures, but I rather not unbox ancient RAH, just to find out they really do break if you look at them funny! I am lucky that I at least get to own those, even if I don't get to play with them. Although, I am tempted to unbox my Light and L, and my two Link whenever I see owner photos of them -- but then I remember I suck at taking photos, so I just feel better knowing they are in my collection, and decide is best to keep them sealed. If RAH didn't got for half a leg second market (even broken or heavily damaged ones), I would try to get doubles of a few of them, but I don't think I would ever be able to justify their second market prices. DX Happy Holidays!

 

@Enzyme my RAH figures just stand on my dresser. I don’t think I’ve even tried to pose them due to hearing of their breaking issues! They make nice statues, lol. I’ve also heard about the vinyl cracking and degrading over time. I have one RAH dressed totally in vinyl and it worries me. So far no signs of damage, but he is quite old for a RAH. I was tempted to pre order the new Edward release (can’t remember the company) as I feel like having a backup. Can’t go down that road, it might become a compulsion. I feel comfortable playing with my Nendoroid dolls as they are sturdy and can be replaced if disaster happens. Not that I’ve ever broken a figure...I am paranoid, just able to suppress it. Still am super careful if I take a figure out of the house. I have my favorite travel figure GeGeGe Kitaro who has been on many trips, and he has only fallen out of an avocado tree and no damage, phew! (Ok the wind was blowing)

Phanuel, your cyclops are so cute! I hope you have a Happy New Years!. ^-^



ShuriTigerH, she's super adorable with or without her pumpkin head! Thanks for sharing your lovely tiny one! n__n




My August toy haul finally arrived! From top row to 3rd bottom, starting from left to right 1st row: Nendoroid Kingdom Hearts Riku; Nendoroid Bloodborne Hunter; Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Q posket Nezuko ver. A; Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Q posket Tanjiro ver. B. 2nd row: Nendoroid Kingdom Hearts Sora; Nendoroid A Certain Scientific Accelerator: Accelerator; Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Q posket Nezuko ver. B; Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Q posket Tanjiro ver. A. 3 row: Figuarts Mini Evangelion: 3.0 You Can [Not] Redo Kaworu Nagisa; Figuarts Mini Evangelion: 3.0 You Can [Not] Redo Shinji Ikari.


The two KH & Accelerator Nendoroids are doubles for me; I got the first releases of the KH ones last year, and the Accelerator one earlier this year. I got these re-releases to open them. However, I kind of regret it a bit, because I don't unbox the multiples I get (at least so far, I haven't!) and I feel like I should probably stop doing that. U_U;;; But now seeing the Hunter Nendoroid in person, I regret not getting another one to unbox. Lol! I suck! DX

 

It's a long story but I had to sell a lot of my dolls off after a spectacularly bad few years. The three large storage boxes I had left a guy stole them from my van during my move up to NYC. He missed a smaller one so I actually out of 200 dolls I have maybe 6 fashion dolls left. They are all in a storage locker at the moment because I do not yet have permanent housing. He did not get my resin Madra doll or a couple of major Tonners, but he got most of it including the 2 BJD's I still had.

It went downhill from there. I've been on the street, then in a shelter. Now I'm in a shelter hotel room in Brooklyn.I am struggling back to normalcy. I nearly died twice and I can't complain. I'm still HERE but I have nothing compared to what I once had doll-wise. 20 plus years worth of doll collecting and it all went POOF!

Delilah Noir was my gateway doll to proper BJD's and I just loved her. At one point I had the Narae head that she looks like and I was trying to make a resin version of Delilah basically. I had just about every version of her but alas, the thief got the last one. I missed her/them terribly. one day when I have a proper place to live I'm going to buy me a Narae if it takes me a year to save up for one and another to find one! But for now, I do have ONE Delilah Noir finally, a Pretty In Pink, which was ironic because she was the first Delilah doll that I ever owned. I do hope to get a pale version on the old body doll eventually but for now I have the normal skin, new body Delilah complete with ferret. I'm hoping they will let me keep here in my room but if they don't then I will just visit her in my locker until I secure permanent housing. First doll though in SOOOOO long, and a major indulgence even at $60 bucks but I don't care. I just wanted her back, some way....

It's this Delilah Noir doll. This is a great review from when she first came out years ago. Great pics here...

@magkelly , Sorry to hear of your troubles! I do hope things get better for you this year, and soon.
@stellarphenomena , Happy New Year to you too! Is that how it looks outside where you are? I won't be taking any pics outside here for awhile. The snow may be pretty but my fingers are still aching from filling the bird feeders.

My daughters sent me some Artichoke Leaf Tea and the Pebbles and Echeveria wanted to try some. It's actually quite nice.
It's a real thing by Nadine, on Flickr

 

@phanuel: Yes, this is how it looks - we rarely get snow where I live and I haven't seen any yet this winter! I'm OK with that....

Thanks for sharing your cute critters!

 

Stellarphenomena, Happy New Years! I love the photo so much, I am a huge fan of the dark forest aesthetic. I love nature and rain/snow, so much, so your photo makes me very happy, just looking at it, an your girl is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!



Phanuel, once again super cute garden critters! Your bunnies are super adorable, and I love that cactus tea pot -- I have a soft spot for tiny tea sets in general!


These are the only hauls I wanted shipped via boat, and the first ones I thought would arrive. They are here now, so I guess there no point in complaining. Lol!

Two Bandai Figuarts ZERO "NARUTO Shippuden" Kizuna Relation Sasuke Uchiha pre-painted figures:


Saiyuki Series Petit Chara Land Trading figure Sasuke Uchiha, he's a tiny one:


Amazon Xmas gifts; a Na! Na! Na! Surprise Series 4 Tommy Torro (thought it was Toro, like bull in Spanish, but I guess not?) and a Mattel Sanrio Hello Kitty & Friends Badtz-Maru Figure & Jazzlyn Doll. I really wanted Series 1 CJ Cuddles, but I never managed to find him. I was never into fabric dolls when I was a kid, so we’ll see how I like these.


Lastly and extreme close up of Badtz-Maru and Jazzlyn. I hope to get the other Sanrio friends and dolls soon:



Edit: I went and unboxed my Tommy Torro, because I was planning to anyway. I wasn't sure I would love these, because I do love the concept art style and the aesthetics. However, I never liked/owned fabric dolls, not even when I was a child. I didn't believe I would like them any better now, at almost 40. Lol! Tommy is super freaking adorable, and the faux-fur on his hat is super soft! The clothes are amazingly well made for what he is (minus the Velcro). I don't believe I will be purchasing anymore sadly. I kind of wanted the teen boy before today, but I don't like the fabric aspect and can't get past the knit being so obvious, more so on the face. If they made these out of hard plastics, vinyl, or a combo, I would definitely be purchasing all the boys, but I'm definitely not a fabric-doll type of person. I kind of wish they were all plastic, even if they were tinier or just static figures. I love the dolls, just not the fabric covered bodies/faces. DX

 

@Enzyme thank you for your review of the Na NaNa cloth dolls. Yeah, I’m not into them either. I just want their shoes and clothes, just to see if they fit some of my dolls...

I saw a new pre order for DOLPokke, a Hetalia UK character on a Obitsu 11cm body, complete with outfit. So cute! I guess there is more in the series that have already been in pre order. Somehow I missed them completely. Gonna have to pass though. Ugh, why so many nice things!

 

@kurogane, I feel a bit sad I don't like them, because I love the style of the dolls so much (kind of super cartoony), but not the fabric texture. Maybe if they were smoother none-knit kind of looking fabric, I wouldn't mind. However, I'm not a fan of the way it makes the doll look heavily pixelated IRL, and in photos. Real life bothers me more though, it's too obvious. DX

I have seen the Hetalia dolls, but I have never seen the anime and I don't like collecting tinier dolls (I regretted getting the Nendoroid blank bodies). I do agree they are super adorable, but I didn't even get the Code Geass Lelouch one by PICCODO and I actually love Lelouch, but I am not too much of a tiny doll collector. 1:6 mature ones are the limit of how small I tend to go when it comes to poseable doll or figures, and that's sometimes too small even for me. ^.^;; They are super adorable though, I know why they are hard to resist. I kind of regret not getting Lulu now.

 

My Nendo Man body is ready to ship! Can't wait to see how it compares. And to eventually get custom faceplates.

 

Hallo Pawful is off topic but he so awesome. He arrived blank WS and was my first attempt at dip dyeing resin and he came out wonderfully. Unfortunately, I forgot to dip his head back so don't look at him from the back, it's just orange

I received a little monster high dress today! I bought it from Etsy :3 I was planning on giving her new faceup and hair, but I kinda like this look aswell.
