Ends of Fate

My Two Frankie’s

So, they’re here! I’m so happy to finally have these two for my collection. These are ones I wanted to display without customizing, although after having them in hand now, the Original Frankie release will have to be repainted. T_T Skull Shores Frankie will be fine and dandy with a clean up on her thighs, so no problem there.

B&W Frankie is still so gorgeous! Everything I remember her being~ I’m just saddened by the Original Favorites face paint. Her one eye is so obviously higher and out of line with the other. Very, very poor quality control, Mattel. Haven’t decided if I’ll do a full face repaint or just redo her eyes and try for something similar. Dunno. But it’ll have to be done. Only other option is to purchase another and try again, but I probably won’t do that since I really only wanted the one of this version. =shrugs= Everything else with her I’m happy about, though.

And that’s about it! Just waiting on my SDF Annette to get here. She’s been delayed in the mail, I was almost afraid she’d gotten lost. I got an update today, finally, so hopefully she’ll be here tomorrow or else I have to wait until Monday. >_<;

Oh, My Saints!

An amazing acquirement! I got not one, not two, but three Saint face plates! Already bought, in the mail, and arrived at my door step! My Annette should be here Tuesday, but the Saints arrived first!!! I’m so excited~ This means I now have two BJDs knocked off my wishlist!!! I’m beside myself, heee! Saint looks so gorgeous in person, very impressive. It’s the newer version of the face, but having him in hand is better than not. I even got a COA with two of the heads.

On top of all this joy, I was able to finally find a B&W Skull Shores Frankie! She’ll be here tomorrow with the Original Favorites I bought with her. Those were bought purely for display and nothing more. YAY! That means I can fully custom the B&W Frankie head I have on the Midnight Magic body to my heart’s content, put her on a matching Obitsu body, and let ‘er rip! I wanted a jointed Fashionista body, but Mattel seams to have pulled them from the market… wha?! T_T And I don’t want to spray paint the one body I do have. =sighs=

A second-hand, 27cm Obitsu 2 part Soft Bust body + head arrived yesterday. I was told the head was a basic head, but when it got here I thought it looked like a Volks. Sure enough! It’s a Volks Mini blonde head! Cute in person~ The Obitsu body’s a bit rough and stained in the joints, but most of the damage will be covered. Gotta do something about the neck peg, though. Gonna whittle it down to size since it’s already been cut up. ^^; And that’s considering it’s the largest size! lol! Almost never got the Volks head off it, yipes! Haven’t had a chance to put any of the other heads on it yet (due to the neck peg), but rest assured I will be having fun with that shortly! I definitely want another of these bodies, just haven’t fully decided my plans on them. This one will be the shared body for now, and eventually end up as the one nekomimi I wanted. I’m sooo tempted to make my Kyorh crew out of these bodies, but… I’ll have to think about it. That’d be eight female bodies minimum plus two male bodies.

The Obitsu + Volks head~

And then the Saints!

Karsh Is Here!

On Monday my Fairy Land Minifee Karsh project head arrived! He was so much more lovelier in person than I expected. I’ve loved the Karsh mold ever since he was released, but wasn’t sure I’d ever have one. Well, the uncertainty is over, lol!

He is a project head. He’s had some work done on him leaving me with just the eyes to finish sculpting/forming and a good deal of sanding to do. Good thing I’ve had quite the practice on my clay sculpts! The seller disclosed all the sordid details so I wasn’t shocked in the least. All his important features are perfectly intact, so really it’s just some sanding and eye modifications to do. The seller even included a free black fur wig and some acrylic eyes for him that I wasn’t expecting!

I currently have him sitting on Kah’z body (since Kah’z off of it waiting for a faceup). He sits low on the neck due to having the FL neck whole. I’d need a donut if I wanted to make it permanent, but it’s only temporary of course~

All in all I’m very pleased and happy with this purchase! He may not have been on the actual wishlist, but most of my doll heads haven’t been… ^_^;

Speaking of wishlist… I have officially knocked one off! I put in my first of two layaway payments for a Luts SDF Annette head! She’s been on it since her released and I was able to score a lovely one to bring home! When she gets here I’ll make the final decisions on what she’ll end up as. Really looking forward to that! She was initially in the running for a “Subaru,” but I recently came across another doll company that has a mold I feel would be perfect for him… even better than the Ethan! So I’d rather shoot for that for Subaru. That leaves the decision for the Annette to be either a female or male… and she’s perfect for both! Ah well, all in good time! Last payment is next week, yay!

And that should be all for now from this peanut gallery!
