Today my Souloid Iraki arrived within an amazing 5-day shipping timeframe from South Korea to Austria. And I was so incredibly lucky because the post worker I’ve known since my childhood delivered it (and of course I was at work!) but he saw my mother (who lives in the same neighborhood as me) walk the dogs and stopped in the middle of the street to hand the box over to her instead! :D Otherwise I would have had to wait until thursday to get him.
But here he is:
And tiny Robot feet:
A little over a week ago I found a perfect little treasure chest for my Tinies.
And of course little pirates also need a ship to go on big journeys with. And to fill their treasure chest.

Who was your first doll? Do you still own him, her, or it?
My first doll was a Resinsoul Lan. I sold her pretty early (had her less than a year, I think).
Who is your favorite doll?
Really really hard to say, but possibly Tobias (MNF Karsh).
Which doll do you hope or plan to buy next?
My plans never work out, because the DoA marketplace is a me-shaped trap, but I’m planning to get bodies for my floating heads next (2x mnf body, 1x delf body).
Quick! You’ve instantly got $800 and must choose a doll to spend it on right now or it’s gone forever! Who do you pick?
If it counts, I’d buy two mnf bodies from FL. Otherwise I’d probably buy Feeple 65 Lorence.
Quick! You’ve instantly got enough money for any one and must choose a doll to spend it on right now or it’s gone forever, but this time you have to buy the doll for someone else! Who gets the dolly, and what do you get them?
Dollmore Snow Blossom Vian for Mighella.
Are you currently waiting on any dolls, heads, or bodies?
Waiting for Souloid Iraki from Souldoll. T___T;; *grabby hands*
Do any of your dolls seem to like you to the point that they are infatuated with you?
No. They’re just dolls.
Do any of your dolls seem to dislike or even hate you?
See above.
Who’s your most expensive doll at the time you purchased them, not counting items you bought separately for them?
I think my Delf Breakaway, but I’m not sure.
Who’s the least expensive doll you own?
Possibly Luke, my MW Junior Fairy boy. He’s the only one that I purchased under 300usd.
Is there a limit to what you’d spend on a doll?
Yeah, but it depends on the doll in question and has shifted a lot (upward) in the time I’ve been in the hobby.
Which doll did you wait for the longest for so far?
Souloid Iraki D: Still waiting!
Which doll had the shortest wait so far?
Argh! Hmmm, I think Tomas, my BF Louis, as he was in-stock (display doll) from a European doll shop.
Who’s the biggest doll you own?
Jack, Delf Breakaway, is the tallest of my three delfs (he’s on an FDoll body).
Who’s the smallest doll you own?
Cade and Noah, Soom Tinies.
Got any floating heads? If yes, how likely are they to receive bodies anytime soon?
Three and if I stop falling in love with random secondhand dolls, they are very likely going to get bodies this year. (IF I can find a type 2 or 3 delf body on the mp.)
Got any floating bodies?
Nope.
Do you have any extra, unclaimed pairs of eyes? How many if so?
About five pairs.
Do you have any extra, unclaimed wigs? How many if so?
God yeah. Probably 15-20 extra wigs.
Anything you’ve said “never” to in the hobby that you later gave in to?
Own an SD! Own a YoSD!
Do you own dolls that aren’t BJDs?
Yes, I’ve got one Monster High Draculaura.
What was your last doll-related purchase?
Putting Unoa B-el on layaway.
What do you expect your next doll-related purchase to be?
Who knows!
What was the last doll-related thing you purchased in person?
A tiny treasure chest (random supermarket find) perfectly sized for Cade and Noah.
Not counting floating heads, floating bodies, and anything on layaway (paid off dolls count), how many dolls do you own?
13, if I count Souloid Iraki (who is still being made).
The quiz is over! Any last words?
Yarrr!
It’s been a long time since I posted; not because I was inactive in the world of BJDs. I just had one of those phases where I was uncomfortable posting in public.
Quite a bit has happened doll-wise. :) My Feeple Riff arrived, also MNF Woosoo and Seorin (both floating heads) and Delf Lu-Wen. I got an MSD girl again (BF Olive) and turned my Shiny Fairy into a girl again (which she originally was, anyway). Recently I made my first attempt at doing a faceup (ugh).
I’m still waiting for my Souloid Iraki (growing impatient now D:) and a wonderful Unoa B-el also crossed my path. I love the Unoa male body. <3 It’s on the same level as Blue Fairy bodies.

I bought a pair of jeans from Xaya on DoA and they fit Brody perfectly. He finally has “grown up” pants (the other boys always stole them and he ended up in shorts again).
Brody's new jeans
New clothes, new attitude?
I’ve also had some problems bonding with Noah (Soom Alk). No wig, no pair of eyes seemed to fit and I had even thought about selling him. And then I accidently got a wrong wig from Monstro (which was resolved super quickly!) and when I popped it onto Noah’s bald head, he just… worked. :D
Noah's new groove <3
He looks very pensieve and even a little sad, but no longer like an odd little alien. <3
Currently I’m only waiting for a pair of YoSD jeans and a pair of ED eyes.
The tiny gang and the teddybear army wish you a happy new year!
Tiny gang & teddybear army
Luke also wants to say Happy New Year!
Luke <3
Luke got a new wig from Monstrodesign on Etsy. <3 Very lovely.
Recently I managed to get the lovliest of all sweaters from Amubleu on Etsy. <3 Look how well it fits Cade:
Cade, Soom Bygg, Amubleu sweater & teddy, Tata pants, Spite&Malice wig
Also Matty (formerly Celia) has decided on a gender: boy!
Matty, Shiny Fairy Benjamin, Spite & Malice wig, Tata sweater
I think I’ve reached Tiny Saturation, though. :P Three are definitely enough, even though there are many many pretty tinies out there. (And I’ve discovered my love for some of the Volks YoSd sculpts – most of all PUFF!)
Ashley – Delf Vampire Elf Chiwoo Mod – actually arrived on 1st december, but I forgot to update here (Skyrim and work, Skyrim and work, work and Skyrim…).
Ashley, VE Chiwoo

I absolutely love the faceup. <3 But the eyelashes got squashed to hell by a renegade face protector so I removed them. (Jack doesn’t have any either, so it fits.)
A body for him is on layaway and while filtering the marketplace on DoA for type 3 bodies, I found a nice Lu-Wen that somehow wormed its way into my heart as well. :D
Yesterday Noah (Soom Alk NS) arrived after a very speedy journey across the world and through customs!
I took pictures of course, but yesterday was the day of first snow as well, so it was dark and winterish and the pictures are either too dark or taken with flash.
Gorgeous faceup!
Attempt at comparison (artificial light)
My first pair of Soom Eyes. The jury's still out on them.
Brothers in arms!
The tiny gang of terrors united!
Oh god I’m so excited! Jack is getting a surprise friend, finally! It’s even going to be a fangy friend!
I definitely shouldn’t be doing it, but it’s a doll I’ve been admiring from afar for what feels like forever and by pure dumb luck I looked in the SD marketplace today (which I normally don’t). Couldn’t believe my eyes that he was being sold!
Of course he’ll be a floating head ’til spring. :P But aaaaaaah, so happy!
