Well, I did it.

Now I just have to wait for him to come. And think about outfits.

Don't worry, I'll cut most of my creepy doll posts.

Probably.

Not that I've spent the afternoon tormenting MC with all the shiny websites or anything. ^.^
(why so hard to find any boy dolls that are smiling? Boy dolls should get to be happy too~~)

[lady_ganesh]

At least I'm not alone in my madness! (So many wigs, and outfits, and EYES.)

I haven't seen many smiling girl dolls, even! I think it's easy to get Uncanny Valley in smiling dolls if you're not careful. I have an old bisque doll that was my great-great aunt's and was like The Popular Girl Doll of that era...and her smile is kinda creepy, lol.

And elf ears, and vampire fangs, and wings, and so so pretty. I'm trying to make myself ignore the accessories, because as long as I don't find the perfect face/body, I don't have to buy anything! >.>

My daughter made me look up fairy and mermaid BJDs earlier. Some of them are just AMAZING.

YES that kept me from buying one for almost a year, which is pretty impressive for someone with my low impulse control...

In my experience most dolls and mannequins showing teeth can range from creepy to really creepy. *g*

[lady_ganesh]

Yeah, it's this style. They are mostly cute but look a little like they'd like to eat you.

Doll: ~nom nom nom~

I'm going to have to do some photos of my ball-jointed doll if all you other people insist on posting your creepy photos. :P

(My ball-jointed doll is an antique inherited from my grandmother. All of her internal strings are disintegrated, which means her joints are floppy and she hangs in her display-case like a dead body that's past rigor; and best of all, her eyes have fallen back into their sockets; I had to tie a blue ribbon around her face because I kept getting disturbed by her empty black sockets staring back at me.

...I will see your creepy BJDs and raise you one, dammit!)

[lady_ganesh]

Hahah, yes, I need a picture!

I have an old bisque doll that's an antique; my grandmother actually paid a good amount to have her restored for me when I was a kid. Her eyes had done the same thing! They had to re-stick them in, with the little weight dealio that let them open and close.

Whoah, those dolls are so pretty. And...so expensive. But I want one...but..but...money. *sigh*

[lady_ganesh]

The bigger highest-quality ones are close to a thousand bucks. This...is more in line with my budget, but yeah. Still kind of ridiculous. I haven't bought a doll in years (I used to collect Western dolls back when I was in jr high/high school and had spending money), though, so it's really just picking up an old hobby again...sort of.
