thanateand then I trust I will be done, at least for a while, and you can go back to ignoring the other sorts of things I post instead of this drivel. :)
So, this all started with there being a sale for half-price doll bodies at domuya which is one of the manufacturers. And they're a new super-flexible sort of body, that's supposed to be excessively more poseable than all the others, and, well, when it's a choice between $200 and $400 for a body... this would not be a bad time to buy in, if I really was sure I wanted to. (And of course once these go back up, the resale value is likely to be about full price, if I changed my mind. My ex-vendor friend Claire would get all excited about that bit...)
Of course, the Kanoa only comes with a body of his own. It would look more like this instead, which is perhaps more aesthetically pleasing, not having the articulations so visible, but could not bow as elegantly... I don't know if either of these things is important to me or not.
Other dolls I have been contemplating with vague covetousness: (for contrast, mostly; the liklihood of my ending up with any of these is rather small...)
**Doll In Mind: Rain or Persia, I'm not sure which yet. Of course, I could get a Rain head from the manufacturer, whereas all versions of Persia seem to be sold out, so I'd have to track her down elsewhere...
**Souldoll: Marvin... who, also, they appear to belive is male. I'm even less convinced by him than my Kanoa. But he's available as a separate head, so I could totally get that and a girl body. Although I would also need to get eyes and pick hair separately... and I kind of like the idea of a doll that comes with at least some sort of wig, because the idea of having them sit around bald as I decide what shapes and colors go best, and then order stuff, seems horrible and sort of rude. Although that's probably just my hair fixation talking... But. without the rather odd make-up, this is very close to what I picture Janet looking like, which means I'd just be looking for a Thomas and maybe a ragamuffin.
Some pretty links for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fishy1: Alice, or Alice, size small who actually looks much more alice-like, and wouldn't fit too badly with being smaller than the other two, the Hatter, and Kanoa, again as the white rabbit... he is still pretty here (and slightly more masculine in this coat, but I like the gray eyes much better than the blue)... oh, and kittymaru did you notice that soom has pocket watches? they seem to be sold out of the good ones, but there were at one time several.
Oh, and there's someone on the Den of Angels doll forum who's got someone done up like Sephiroth from FFVII. v impressive. Although I'm not quite sure I could do an anime doll... I think mine would have to be old world. sigh. (I keep saying that...)
Although it was kind of funny, sincegrauwulf was telling me something about the dynamics of buying a new motorcycle. And it's so similar... All the people who already have one think of course you should buy/upgrade/take advantage of this great deal, etc. And the rest of the world kind of looks at you funny. And it's effectively an expensive luxury item that one doesn't really *need* or anything. Even if it's way cool and stuff.
I was supposed to be fixing the zipper on my fencing bag. Oops.
