I think I'll have to make plans for a doll day. Right now, I'm at work with Topher and Guhn (It's been awhile since I've taken them out of the house) and as I was fiddling with them I noticed that they looked different to me. I'm not sure how or why, but something just looked different about them. I think they, and possibly my other dolls, will be in need of a style change. Maybe I'll see to it when I figure out my purchasing. There are about 11 dolls and two bodies I would like to get as of right now. I've reached a point where I'm not sure if I would still like to have the characters I imagined for the dolls (mostly because I don't have some big, elaborate story featuring everyone together) and it's a bit frustrating when I know that I spent so much time on the character creation and being giddy about coming up with things for them to do. I've also been buying adoptables/designs for characters and have mainly been using them for writing...

let the hunt begin!

I'm pretty stoked about the next wave of Monster High dolls coming out. I'll be looking out for the Clawd/Draculaura pack and Spectra when they hit stores (Or reasonable online prices.) I'm also interested in the new BJD company 'Doll Chateau.' I really like their Colin sculpt <3 Hoping that they release pictures of blank heads, and bodies, soon~ summer summer summer~ come at me ♪
So thanks to my grandmum I finally have Deuce. <3 She bought the Deuce/Cleo gift pack so I could finally get the doll I wanted and my little brother could have another MH doll to feel special (orsomething. hethrewafitwhenicamehomewithghoulia.) But he has Cleo now and enjoys playing with her. He's getting better at taking care of his toys. ...When they aren't headless action figures. (._. So now I have 7 dolls, and I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for the Clawd/Draculaura pack and Spectra~  Fun, fun~

now with more zombies

Ghoulia. Got her. yaaaaaay. thank you walsmart. (you horrible place, you.) Now I'm going to debox her and... and... idk. o_o

greek get-together

I doubt this would happen, because I'm so iffy with this sculpt, but I think that if I had a MNF Shiwoo I would base him off of Cassandra/Alexandra from Greek myth. Just so Tiresias has a friend. |D You can't have too many prophets. Nope. Especially when one is wrong all the time. B|

mattel doesn't owe you jack.

Dear kiddies sitting on their high horses, Shut up. Mattel doesn't 'owe' their sheeple anything. I mean, if they could find it in their corporate heart(s) to give of a calendar of releases, that'd be amazing. But either stfu or gtfo my hobby. ANYWAY. Spectra and Abbey pictures have been releases, and I'm going to buy them when they hit stores. New doll shopping = Done. ...Oh, and same for the Clawd/Draculaura giftset. (I might have to buy the Deuce/Cleo one, sometime x_x) And maybe a fashion pack. But that's it. :3c
I've been drawing a lot of sketches of (male) dolls lately. I've been looking into artists' dolls lately and I'm really liking the ones of (overly?) feminine girls with wide hips. And since you can only really get that [aesthetic?] from modding girls to boys, I've been drawing boys with wide hips. Personally, if I was aiming for androgyny then I can't see it. I do draw males pretty... girly. And I think I use to give them curves before, but not like this. I like it though. :3 Hopefully, I'll continue with this. I think I'll change up the hands/arms and feet/legs each picture, just to give this variety. And maybe make an accessories sheet. It'd be a sight to see them molded (and casted)~ >////< )b

Monster High wearing PKF Clothing!

So I'm expecting a [BJD] Fairyland Pukifee Bonnie in a few days, and I already bought clothes for them some time ago. I just happened to have the clothes out while playing with Lyca, my DotD Clawdeen, and wondered if they would be able to fit her. And they most certainly do. The body of one of the tops is a bit big, but it's probably better since I was able to slid her through it easily- until the base of the shirt met her waist/hips. |D Snug but push past~ The sleeves aren't too big or small for her arms. And the pants/leggings surprisingly fit, too! They get snug around the knees, but one you push past that, they're a good fit! They stop at the knees, though, so they make good... er, long-shorts? Short capris? *Doesn't know fashion* Photos uploaded on my Flickr: Monster H i g h Set The white skull top (and possibly the leggings) were made by eightl0ngmonths
If I get a JDF Terra of my own, I will name him Vadin 'Traxx' Lohher . He'll have carrot coloured hair (I would like from the top to his ears/back of his head to be orange and then either black or green from there.) and be a bit of a spitfire. I think he'd be a good friend for Dez |D I'm also thinking that I might sand his cheeks/the sides of his head a bit. Nothing wrong with a subtle baby face, though. I'll try to develop more of a look for him as time goes on (And if I keep his character in mind) |D"

i should look into investing into doll clothes

Received a Resiinsoul Mei-boy in the mail yesterday for my friend, Whit. Spent most of my day trying to make the elastic tighter (Just learned that I have to get thicker elastic) and hot-glue sueding some of the joints (I think the ankles need it, but I am running low on glue sticks). Gotta say, he's pretty cute. :3c I like that he doesn't look feminine looking (probably just the face-up) and just... looks nice over all. Not to say that RS dolls look bad but company/owners' pictures are influential. Anyway, this boy is adorable. Case closed. And from the title... I was trying to look for clothes to make him presentable. And from the search I learned that I need more doll clothes, specifically shirts and pants. =n= )" So he has a cardigan, socks, and shoes. I'm glad that the cardigan is big enough to cover his front (and then some |D) I hope she enjoys him~ <3

put a stopper on things

I think I would like to stop collecting for awhile. I doubt I will, but it'd be nice to just play with what I have instead of fawning over everything and busting the bank to get it. There are five more dolls that I want to get, and one more that I'm still thinking about. It's a PukiPuki Cupid2, since my friend wants a Cupid1 and I told her that we should get Cupid twins, but I doubt I'll play with him much. :|" But since I'll be paying for Ricky Show (PKF Bonnie) next month, I'll see if I like dolls on a smaller scale. I'll try to reconstruct my doll family somewhat, since I don't think I want more SD sized dolls.(It'd be nice to get more, but there's the whole situation with space. :/ ) I've had mental character maps set in steel (stone is so last century) for so long that I'm not sure how I'll change them up. I know  that my dolls/characters don't have to be related in some way, but that makes things easier for me. ...
I'm tempted to save up (see: quickly spend) for a Minifee ShuShu. It might end up being a girl, so this will be the second girl I'll have in my resin gang. (I thought I said I'd only have one girl. ...Well, it's not like Ben wears all of her clothes and stuff. Okay, I think this is a 'good' decision.) Her name will be Archer Collins (Originally it was going to be Harper Collins but that's a publisher so...) or Archie/Archy for short. She'll probably be like Benny and change her hairstyle a lot. I have ¡K4B00M!'s wig, but I'm not sure if I'm still going to try and get him and Sh'zokz, so she can use it. And I'll probably have them share the red wig of Ben's. :3c I think I might try to come up with a colourful wig for her. And now I'd like for her to have a brother. :c (This is probably what I get for [1] being struck by the waaaant-bug and [2] being okay with getting another girl. I have to keep the 'balance'...

speedsters go!

|D Going to make a Bart Allen/Impulse doll~! He's going to be a JDF Terra from Luts. It was a... spur of the moment decision. Hopefully I go through with it. Lemme just resist the urge to have one of Wally~ I wonder if it'll be hard to make his suit...? o^o)" -- Soooo, I didn't know Bart was shorter than Tim ._.)" /blames current Young Justice TV series. We're going to, uh, work some things out. >_>

demon's revenges

Typing that made me cringe. That's why I can't stand saying 'Demon's Souls'. >:| Anyway... Interested in getting a Yokai Fukushuu doll by LadySaiyuki. :3c In it for the sassy (sassy?) look and the rude gesture hand. XD I think that if I'm able to buy one, his name will be Dapper and he will be... Well, he was going to be an incubus but the idea leaves a bad feeling in me. |D" He'll be some sort of demon, for sure. Blank dolls are about 280$? I can manage that but... ngh, I'd rather get a full set. :|" ohwell. *Figures things out*

generic collector hang-ups

iwantmoremoney~ iwantmoredolls~ omigoshwhyamisopoooor. Alright, where to start... I've been creating outfits for my Hitsugaya and Luppi character dolls. It's been... horribly slow (Not being able to draw bodies well causes a lull) but I hope to have at least three outfits for them. I hope when they're done, I'll be able to find the clothes. |D I doubt it but, pipe dream. More dolls have moved out of my house and I am none the richer! \o/ /jubilation. Kei came over yesterday and is now the proud owner of a DoD Camine and Luts 08Man head. I hope she does wonders with them~ <3 I feel very... list-ful. :|c Excuse me as I compile data.

passing fad

Volks SD17 Williams. I would like him right now, please. Just putting it out there. (Granted, the best layaway I could do at this time would be ~150$ a month. And he goes for how much?)  The odd thing is that I'm a little bit serious on this offer. |D" So if anyone is willing~ /oddball.

character dolls for better writing

I'm really considering getting two dolls to be Hitsugaya & Luppi from Bleach. They are on the top of my favorite characters list, but since I write fanfiction of them, I don't want to keep thinking of their height difference and interactions. I'm thinking of getting a 50cm and ~45cm dolls, since Hitsugaya is about a head shorter than Luppi (Technically, he should reach his collar bone) and that difference in resin should be enough. Luppi will probably be a modded Zaoll Luv... But I'm not sure about Hitsugaya. x_x And I'd really like for his doll to come in a light tan, too. I guess I'll keep searching and update this when I find something interesting! :3c  -- So, Luppi is going to be a Dreaming Zaoll Luv and I already found the perfect wig (and hopefully eyes) for him on Dollmore. As for Hitsugaya, I still have no clue. I know the size to look for (43~45), so I'll try to focus on finding a sculpt. -- Looks like Hitsugaya will be a DiM Ace. :...

vondergeists and bonding

Looks like the Monster High community is in an uproar about a sneak-peek photo of Spectra Von Hauntington , uploaded by Chuck Belich on sites like Flickr and MonsterHighDolls. Though it looks like a Ghoulia custom, I really don't think a hobbyist would go through the trouble of finding transparent plastics to make their dream doll come true. Also in the picture, to the bottom left of Spectra's box you can see what appears to be red shoes, and on the left looks like another character's box with their tagline possibly being 'Big Man/Monster on Campus.' I'm going to assume that everyone is hoping for Clawd. ;) I know I am. Personally, this Spectra looks like, but I'd rather have a pale skinned doll (keep the transparency!) with rooted mohair (is that possible?) and 'generic' ghostly fashions. But if her character likes dark, party dresses, then who am I to do changes? (I obviously don't have Mattel power. XD) In other "news," I've...

productive times are ahead

Or so I want to believe. I'm borrowing a camera from a friend right now and I've been taking pictures for two days straight. They're nothing special, but I finally feel active now. I can actually set aside time from... whatever to take pictures for an hour or two and then get back to boreality. The only thing that's hard for me to do is to choose which doll I want to photograph. (Maybe this just means I should get more of my dolls clothed. :|" ) Anyway, my Flickr is reanimated and I'm having fun giving minor edits to pictures. I can finally use my photography handle 'ATK5ul'! /dance party. So if you see that watermark, you know who it is. ;] Doll stuff... doll stuff... Eddy's shoes are officially too small so they'll be given to Icara when I buy his body... I hope that my paycheck is enough to finish and continue a layaway.... I would really like some Ichigeki Sacchu!! HoiHoi-san dolls. No lie, they're cute and I want Pest-X-san and...

expecting a postage tidal wave

Day two of 'Mail Extravaganza' has passed. Day one gave me my first figma, Black Rock Shooter. I didn't expect for her to be so small! (Or that equipping her Rock Cannon would be a total pain. x_x) Day two gave me pants for Eddy and a compression binder for myself. Now the only things left for Eddy are his eyes, wig (I have an extra just in case), shoes, and him. X3 waaaii, I can't wait! So mail is moving well. I have two layaways for three dolls going on right now. One will be finished next month, while the other will wrap up in May. (And just in time for my friend's birthday!) Hopefully I can keep the money flowing 'til then. On Monday, I bought a design from an artist on FA. The character reminded me of a Resinsoul Song (And a bit like my character, Zeitton) so I bought it and I'm basing Zei from it. Hopefully he'll look as cute in real life. XD bleeh, back to drawing~
