Ball Jointed Doll Club

Oh wow he's very regal indeed! Got any ideas for a name or back story? He looks like a Prince of the high courts or something! I'm getting rather jealous of all your gorgeous BJDs ;D

[hanamadoi]

He's gorgeous, isn't he? 8D I've actually got a character for him already, so he's going to have to undergo a bit of an appearance change from the promo photos. (Naturally Krowbar is painting him for me, hehe.)

My Dollshe guys are part of a story about a rock band and their crew. Aramis is going to be a guy called Adam, a photographer for a music magazine who used to date one of the band when they were teens, prior to the band even forming. Adam was chased off by his boyfriend's extremely jealous best friend, so there'll be fireworks many years later when Adam arrives with a journalist for a promo shoot...

[Felly-Pepper]

Ooooh that sounds awesome >u< Adam really suits him too, very suave :3

I have a problem.. So Ræa (It's pronounces "Ray-a" X3) was pretty expensive and i've been looking around for wigs and clothes and stuff and i've found this beautiful wig on ebay but i dont know whether i should buy it or look for another one.... Or wait until i she arrives, but i really want items for her straight away TTATT

Gah, dilema >n<;

[hanamadoi]

That is the tough part! Knowing whether to buy right away or to wait! I know I'll have some clothing Adam can wear when he eventually arrives (but that'll be a good few months away, Aramis isn't expected to start shipping until the end of April), but I don't have any eyes for him or any wigs! Well, I might have a temporary one but I know it's not going to be right for him. Dollshe haven't put up the wig and eye sizes for him yet! I can assume the wig will be 8-9" unless he has a pea-head like Bernard and Saint. XD;; Eyes... they'll be a mystery, as my Bernard wears 12mm and my Rosen, Husky and Hound all wear 14mm. So I think I'm waiting for him!

What sort of wig do you have in mind for your gorgeous girl? <3

[Felly-Pepper]

It's this stunning really long lilac wig with detachable ponytails. I think it'll go really well with the eyes i requested for her and i plan on having a a face up with purple eyeshadow so it would go really well ^u^



This is the picture for the wig, sorry its so big XD But isn't it lovely? I'm totally in love with it! And there's 8 of them so if i dont decide to buy straight away i have a bit of time before they all sell out X3

[hanamadoi]

That really is pretty! I think I bought a wig from that seller for my sister's Lishe - it was multicoloured with detachable ponytails. It's really nice.

[Felly-Pepper]

Thanks :3 Yeah i think the detachable pigtails really sell it for me because they're so kawaii and would be really fun for the Lolita dresses i'm gonna make her. it's just too cute X3

And it's nice to have a second opinion, and if it is the same seller then it makes me want to buy it more XD

Oh gods, have I ever been running behind on checking this thread out! ^^;;

I just wanted to compliment everyone here on their very lovely dolls! I'm looking forward to reading more about them in the future <3
Also, I would like to point out that I work in a shop that sells BJD and the likes, called ThinkPink. It's a shop in the netherlands, but they do have an international webpage. Now I am not (entirely, hehe) trying to promote them, just wanted to let you guys know that if you have any question about a company in particular (about resin matches, poseability, etc) and the company can be found in this webshop, that you could ask me about it, as I have a direct contact with people that handle them on a daily basis :3 In case that might come in handy for anyone.

Aaand, I promised a long time ago that I would be uploading more pictures of my dolls, and I would like to show the doll changes meme that I filled in :3 It can be viewed right here for anyone who's interested: http://vejitadmc.deviantart.com/art/Dol ... -429018226

That was it for now, got more stuff to do :'D Keep posting awesome dollies!

[Felly-Pepper]

Oh! I know about ThinkPink, i stumbled upon the site when looking into Fairyland retailers in the EU and such. But they didn't have the model i wanted so i couldn't buy from them. I do however think it'll be very cost effective to get items/eyes ect from there X3

I have a few questions on Fairyland Active lines, i heard they can be a bit kicky ect, is there anyway to loosen them off a tad without restringing? Like would playing about with her a bit work? :3

You have such pretty dolls ;u; I especially like your Bailey X3

[vejitadmc]

Yeah, sadly they had to stop selling for Fairyland because of quality issues.

Also, I don't have a lot of experience with Fairyland dolls, but usually (with each other company that I know) kicking can indeed be helped with a bit of playing, as that will loosen the elastics. If that really doesn't help and you don't want to restring, you can consider sueding her knees with some hotglue. There are tutorials for this online, but I can also explain it a little if needed, it's not very difficult.

And, thanks so much for the compliment! <3 I'm glad to see Bailey is so popular!
