A while back I was buying stuff through a proxy and got some Aki Hayakawa hairclips; well it turns out they were a preorder and couldn't be shipped with my other stuff bc of timing. I wasn't planning on starting another proxy order for a while but when the hairclips arrived at the warehouse I had to get some more stuff to save on shipping. The first thing I looked for was a large (60cm+) doll. I've wanted to own a BJD for a while because of how much they interest so I couldn't resist! I sifted through a ton of listings but I didn't find much until I searched up Ringdoll. One of the first results was an auction for a fullset Chen Si and it was ending the next morning. The timing couldn't have been better! This also wasn't any regular Chen Si this was the Akuro version that was limited to 10 sets and retailed at $819. I won him for $469 (+$89 in proxy fees and shipping). He was in perfect condition and came with everything he had at release as well! 20230220_101242-min by Serina Qaqish, on Flickr ezgif-5-8591943cb5-min by Serina Qaqish, on Flickr 20230220_102919-min by Serina Qaqish, on Flickr admittedly, I was so excited to unbox him I forgot to take pictures of him in the box. :,)))) ezgif-5-06b8549634-min by Serina Qaqish, on Flickr 20230220_112353-min by Serina Qaqish, on Flickr His faceup is absolutely stunning!! I love his eyebags. 20230220_112423-min by Serina Qaqish, on Flickr And here he is in the full outfit! The details are amazing and it's incredibly soft. His outfit is higher quality than any of my clothes LOL. I'm extremely impressed with everything and can't wait to get my next doll I'm going to shell Chen Si so he fits in with Haazel and his story. ^^ I already bought the new outfit so hopefully it fits.
Congratulations on your new arrival he's a very handsome fellow I believe you can find a little info on how to embed your Flickr photos on DoA in the FAQ, but as a person using almost exclusively mobile, I find it impossible to use Flickr for this on mobile. If you want to try something new postimages.org has been really great for me to use only on mobile.
Whew! Great price, lucky you! Congrats -he's wonderful! Looking forward to seeing how you re-style him!
1) Click on the arrow curving to the right to bring up the share box 2) select "BBCode" from the list across the top of the box 3) Select "Medium" in the size-of-image box 4) Copy and paste the link from the other box. 20230220_112423-min by Serina Qaqish, on Flickr Hope this helps
Thank you both for the advice! The copying the bbcode worked. ^^ I swear I tried everything except that including decompressing the files and copying the path link I will be trying postimages when I'm on mobile tho
Aww it means a lot to know someone's interested in how he's going to get re-styled. :,) It'll take a couple of months for his new outfit to arrive but on the plus side, I should have Haazel by then so I'll be able to show my stories two main characters fully styled together!
