One Down.

The F60 Soony head arrived yesterday. I had a specific look I wanted for it, mostly shorter and chunkier than Sage on her Delf body, and as gender androgynous as possible....so there wasn't much for me to choose from. Last night my friend let me try the Soony head on her Volks SD10 girl body and it was pretty much perfect other than the hideous hands those poor things have. I was excited and planned to purchase one off of the MP first thing this morning, but by the end of the night she decided to sell me hers! So instead of a head arrival, it was actually a full doll! And I'm down one floating head! I even found a wig that with a quick cut will be exactly what I wanted. I put some hands on the body last night, but today I remembered both my Zaoll girls are using Delf hands so I'm totally putting the Zaoll hands on her tonight. The fit of the head isn't great, I'm hoping it will improve with a neck piece (I put a WTB up already - F60 or Delf) but for now with a larger S-hook, it's fine. I really wish she had a faceup, I would love to use her for the next photo challenge!! It'll just have to be Sage.

This means Gabriel is being put on hold until I either sell something or by some miracle get a head I want in a trade. Still between Elfdoll Vivien and Supia Ariel on probably the Loongsoul 63cm body. Leaning toward Ariel just for easy access.

Got a trade offer for my Bory, tomorrow I ship him off and prepare for a Minifee Celine boy in tan. Since I've never owned a tan MNF or a Celine, I'm excited....even though it's another mnf boy body XDD at least it's not the muscle version! 5th time is the charm...right? I'm pretty sure he's going to move in with Mocha's group, and become a paparazzi deer. Yeah. Also figured out the MNF Soony/Unoa, I think. Panda techno geek. I have wanted a Panda themed doll since about 2009. Still needs a name. I'll think of something.

Sadly, I'm probably putting my Peakswoods Wake Up Goldie up for sale after this weekend. I've thought about it and with my other Goldie, Kimi (who is my goth girl), Sage and this new Soony....I don't feel as though I need her, and it's not like I've done anything at all with her in the last year or more. It's depressing, she was a dream doll of mine, but she's not really....doing it for me in my collection. I'm probably going to have to take a huge loss on her as she was not cheap, but they're just not selling well right now. I'm going to miss her vampire bite. But it's not like that mattered to her character in any way. I think I'll be better off moving her on.

Still have a lot of stuff on order that has yet to ship, but for right now no trades floating around! Tomorrow that will change XD

And, lastly, the only pic of Sterek I have!

 

 So freaking adorable!! I wish one of the ones of him in the wolf skin would have turned out! You don't know cute until you've seen this thing in person. He needs new eyes. And a faceup. So many faceups....

This is the Rosy Brown UV. Everyone was right in saying it's not like most environmental resin....I'm happy I went with it. It's a great color. Looks pretty much like this in person XD I'm already considering a next and final one - one of these guys in Sweet Green to be a Frankenstein since I've got a vampire and werewolf. Must have all movie monsters!! ALL OF THEM!! And they are about to release some in a sheep skin. That I think my Sandman needs so he can be his own sheep! It never ends.....

Have a good weekend!

Quick Update - Wolf Cub Arrival!

I'll see about posting pictures soon, but I'm excited and can't wait:

My Withdoll Werewolf Coco finally arrived today! It sat in customs forever. Since Thursday. I had to run out at lunch today to pick him up. I found my front tire flat (thank you cold weather) and all my tires were low, so I ran around like a crazy person until I found a gas station with air. Half my lunch later I was able to run by the house and grab the boxes.

I unboxed him and started putting on the wolfy parts - accidentally unstringing him in the process. I found some dental floss and was able to get him back together....now I know something else that needs to be added to my doll-kit! It worked great. The fur skin didn't want to go over one claw, so I took it off and used the floss again to pull his arm through and get the claw back on XD Yay floss!!

Lunch was over then - I had to eat while I worked - so no pictures or anything. From the little handling I've done so far I just love him. Not only is he totally adorbes but seems to be very high-quality. Sturdy joints, well made, the color (Rosy Brown UV) is just gorgeous and he's not translucent at all, only the very tips of his little claws....which is kind of realistic and cool.

He sits and stands well, the wolf skin is the best thing ever, and if I glue the magnets to his head cap (which is what I've been doing for ears lately) it'll hold on his wig and all will be well. I only regret not having eyes for him yet....I'll have to look at what I've got but I'm not confident. The eye box is running low. They sent brown acrylics, so he at least has eyes (and for some reason I had a lump of eye putty on my desk, or he wouldn't have them in XD ) but brown isn't the color I wanted - red, yellow or blue. I don't know which yet, but one of those. I can't wait to play with him!! I'll try and grab some pictures tomorrow.

In other news:
Future stuff
So I think I'm going to order a head this weekend that will be (hopefully) Gabriel. I looked at Supia the other day and Ariel is perfect. She kind of resembles Rian, and Vivien and even Olea (who all have a similar look IMO), only she's actually got an open mouth and is available to buy now as opposed to impossible to get like Vivien. the tiny bit of research I've managed to do revealed that her neck is the same as the neck on the Loongsoul 63cm body, which is the body I am looking to get for her...so hopefully that'll work.

I am also contemplating ordering a Little Rebel Tenten head when the preorder starts....just because I've always wanted one of her dolls, and Tenten is my favorite. Because Teeth. I dunno. I've never ordered a doll just because before - with no idea whatsoever of what I'll do with it....so it might not happen. But I'd really like one. Like I need another floating head :\

Stuff I'm waiting on
F60 Soony Elf is on the way. This head has a character all ready for it, I just need....everything. Wig, eyes, body.....yeah. But it's going to be Sage's best friend (Sage will be next weeks challenge doll - I'm always excited about her character) and my second half-elf. This one is half elf, half dwarf. I'd like a chubby, short body for it, but I don't think that exists....oh well.

Dollmore: Clothes, parts, another Fine head and a DMK body

Alice Collections: Sherlock and Khan clothing and a really expensive outfit for Ryuji cause he never gets anything ever. Alex got a pair of shoes because I swear I can't buy things without buying for him too. >.<

Etsy: Monstro and Cyristine Creations clothes ordered for Little Wyn (and Mini Alex), and the Benedict Cumberbatch head....none of which have shipped.

Other stuff
The shirts I ordered from MOC for Metatron and his two future alter-egos fit beautifully. It makes me more confident to order clothes for him now (hence the giant AC order). I also ordered Alex one shirt. He's wearing it now.

Ryuji's new body - the new Soom Super Gem - showed up. I had some issues stringing it, but figured it out and he's good to go. It's way whiter than he is, and his faceup makes him darker still! So he need to be redone. And he's a big chunk now lol it's like he shrunk and put on weight!! It's ok though, he fits in pretty much everything, including the jacket made for him when he was an El which didn't fit him on the Popo body. So YAY!

Unoa Butt-tabs are my Nemesis.

I'm not kidding. I think they exist in the world simply to annoy the shit out of me. Other than that they serve no function at all!! URG! They have to go.

Saturday the package containing a Unoa body and Fairyland MNF Juri 14 head arrived at my door!

It was in the exact condition that was specified - perfect other than one thing.

The previous owner lost one of it's arms XD
She was able to buy a new set of arms, but they're in a different color than the body (I'm guessing it's Fairy skin - I'm almost positive the body is the same old normal Macchi is.), so right now it has one WS arm and one NS arm. Honestly I barely notice it...though I've kept the thing clothed the whole time lol

I ended up with it in a trade - several faceups, and a few future faceups for the body, three arms, the Juri head and the Unoa head back (which for me was a happy surprise, I didn't realize that was part of the equation).

I had very little free time over the weekend, but I managed to string it up, and wrestle the Soony head onto the body so it had one whilst I decide what to do with it. Because I really have no idea. None. I tried on all the fur wigs I have that even kind of fit, I've dressed it in several outfits, tried a bunch of eyes in it....I got nuthin. I don't even know if I want it to be a boy or a girl. Boys fit in with my group better, but up until now it looked like a girl to me, even dressed as a boy....and the body is a girl body. So everything is up in the air still, and for once, I am really stumped.

What I've got so far:

This was the first look - at the Holiday meet over the weekend. It sat at the Festivus (Sp??) table and aired a grievance. Which is what I'm told one does!

 

Next was this - I was still trying to make black hair work - but this wig just doesn't fit no matter what I do. This did nothing for me...But, Elf ears!!

   

Currently we're here, which is the look that inspired me the most so far...

 

Crooked glasses are crooked. I dunno. Still a work in progress....maybe a faceup will help (but it's really cold and I have no time). Lol the poor thing. No part of it matches any other part of it XD But I kind of love it for it's patheticness. And the proportions.

I have several options to play with here, when it comes to this thing's identity.
1. Soony stays on this body and becomes a boy (it has no chest, so it can work).

2. Soony stays on this body and becomes a girl...since it is a girl

3. Soony goes to a new, undetermined body and the headback that came with it goes to this one, and I have a second Unoa to do whatever with, and will be....either a boy or a girl and any mold. Omg. The options D:

4. Unoa headback becomes a hybrid, something I've wanted to do many times, for many years. I'm thinking either Dollmore Kid or Doll Chateau. And i have no idea what faceplate, other than it won't be L-Bi.

Then I have to decide what storyline it gets worked into. Forgotten Children (or Alex's world), or Mocha's world (tentatively called Star of Fate...because that's the song I was listening too when I thought of it) - as those are the two Mature Mini "worlds" I have split my minis into (which don't count the three that exist in the 1/3 FC universe).

Since I have given the poor thing several looks in the barely 4 days I've had it, and nothing is coming to mind, I decided today to start with a name. Since I don't know if it's a boy or girl or what universe it exists in yet, I have two separate name groups.

The FC storyline - Gender ambiguous names (like Sage and Rowan lol) since who knows what it is:
Addison
Bailey
River
Taylor
Tyler
Winter (my favorite)

The SOF storyline - already gender ambiguous:
Cinnamon Dulce (back for round two! Ha ha!)
Pumpkin
Hazelnut Toffee (or just Hazelnut or just Toffee)
Chestnut Praline
Cappuccino
Frappe (or a combo of Frappe and Cappuccino)
Or, seriously a combo of any/all of these. Pumpkin Hazelnut Praline would be awesome XD

I figure if I can get it a name I'll eventually come up with a character and be able to figure out look and everything else eventually. Chances are it'll end up with Mocha and the rest - I can't think of anyone in FC who needs to be a doll and isn't atm. And I really don't need to be adding more characters.

In other crazy news, regardless of what body this Soony head ends up on, I want the MNF neck piece for it, for the easy. Right now the poor thing is filled with hot glue, and held on by a metal bar that used to hold a Zaoll head back on. It's a mess (but works!). I went to go put a WTB up for the part, and the very first post in the MP was for a neck key!! Of all the things. Fastest transaction ever, later, I have one on the way already. Amazing luck!! Which I need more of....the seller I bought the KDF Yul head from has disappeared....so I am worried. It's only been a couple days, but her communication was really good until I paid. Now she's not answering me and I never got a tracking # like she promised.

The eyes I got in the trade for the Volks body came in yesterday however, and they're just gorgeous! So that's one more good thing to outweigh the (potential) bad?.

And random fist-bumps from total strangers are awesome. Just sayin.

Gripey Gripe

Fairyland is having yet another event that they will get insanely backed up on. I didn't care until I saw all the elf event heads. I WANT THEM ALL especially the Elf Rin and Celine. Rin is a cutie regardless but I didn't want Celine at all until I saw the elf version.

Stupid Fairyland. The event items are ridiculously expensive now, so it's not like I could scrape together the cash to get any of them even if I did want the stuff they're pushing (which I don't - no part of me wants an F60 girl of any kind except the one I've got)....so unfairs.

I guess in a year or so when all this stuff finally gets shipped out I'll be scouring the MP for an Elf Rin or Celine!  Booooooooooooooooooooooooooo
