10:22 pm - New Doll Arriving Soon!!
Yes, I have my first doll coming. Temptation got the best of me and I lost all of my self-discipline!! LOL Yesterday I was browsing around the various boards to see what I could see and I came across a Little Big Eyes (LBE) doll for $10 shipped! If you were to look on eBay right now they are going for no less than $19.00 NOT including shipping. So I knew that I got a GREAT deal! While most people look at this doll as being a Blythe "rip-off", I'm looking at it as an opportunity to have a go at customizing a doll that have the color changing eyes features as the Blythe. Not that I have money to throw away but I won't feel bad if I mess up a $10 doll vs a $100 doll! I have heard bad things about their bodies being a piece of junk BUT what do I already have on hand here??? Yep, you guessed it... not only do I have a 23cm obitsu body that I can swap it out for but a Blythe body too. LOL I will most likely put it on the obitsu body because of the whole articulation thing but I will see what it will look like on the Blythe body too.
I can't wait for my new doll to arrive because I already have an image in mind of how I want her to look and all the customizations that I want to do to her. For starters, I already know that I am either going to sand or spray matte her face because it's way too shiny for my liking... well that is how it appears in the photos anyway. Then I am deciding other whether I am going to re-root her head with mohair or saran. I am thinking that I may just make her a couple of wigs so I don't have to worry about re-rooting if I decide that I want to change her image. She will also be receiving a tatt like her mommy... just not my exact tatt but she will be getting one. She may also get a couple of piercings too. Her makeup will DEFINITELY get changed because the stock colors ARE NOT pretty AT ALL!! I am also thinking about changing her eye chips too. So those are a couple of customizations that I plan to do.
I did want to say that I know my willpower really sucked but I'm happy with myself because remember that buyers remorse I talked about earlier? Well I wound up having buyers remorse after I bought the Dollfie Plus and wound up getting a refund for that doll which I entail turned around and bought the LBE doll instead. So when you look at the big picture, I really did save money all around. LOL I guess it was really meant for me to get the LBE and not the Dollfie Plus because I am totally content with this purchase while I wasn't when I had purchased the Dollfie Plus. I do still need to get a body for the 27cm obitsu head that I got. LOL But I will worry about that another day. :o)
