Entries...

I have been meaning to write a blog post on the question of recasts - particularly my take, but it hasn't managed to get into a written form yet.



While we're waiting for that, I'll update myself again... I really need a few more topics really - things that I can talk about. I'll have a new set of dollies soon - so I can do a bit of posting and have a bit of fun when they turn up. Other than that:

  1. V's back from the spa. He also has the rest of his outfit - a shirt, waistcoat and hat. He looks fantastic in them, but ironically not much like himself if he's all buttoned up! His girlfriend loves his tattoos, which is brilliant.
  2. Mor Mumain and Nic Naomhim are complete - after a complete snafu with the eyes as outlined earlier. I got an extra pair of eyes with Mor's pair and everything worked out really well... The two spare pairs have been used - one pair for Belisama and the other is being worn by Arawn - a pair of purple 18mms which look really nice. (Nic is still missing shoes).
  3. I did get a shipment just the other day - the first of my Itals has come home. The first is Alastir, the nose scar head. It's simply fantastic - the scar is part of the sculpt, very much like the eye scar MNF. 
  4. The other two Itals - the Eye Scar and the still non-purchased basic OE have named themselves - the Eye Scar will be Bres and the OE, Lir.
  5. My Chiclines are at DDE already, and I would have them if I'd had enough to pay them off immediately. (I didn't unfortunately :( ). However I am paying them off as soon as I get paid and they should be home next week or the week after. The sooner the better as far as I'm concerned. With them of course comes Bres. 
  6. I have paid off Omega, my Batchix Mini Machina Delta. She probably won't appear until May.
  7. As for the idea about the sleeping BA head... he's now taken on a life on his own and named himself - Aeron, the name I would have given the F60 Scar Juri, had it have been released. Thus he has named himself and is now demanding a body of his own... and of course being a BA/Ital, it would have to be a muscular F60. The vanity of these boys are amazing. (he has also been photobombing on the triplets...)
  8. In accordance with the BA/Itals being vain and self indulgent and all the rest of it - I have this sneaking suspicion that the three F65 Itals won't be particularly happy with being forced firstly to wait for Lir to turn up to have some kind of body and secondly to then have to share that body between the three of them!
  9. I have been investigating what fits F65 boys, since I have three vain individuals turning up! (I might share some of that on a page, because it seems to me that not many people actually know what fits them... unless you own one, and that's not many.)
  10. Oh, and if you're wondering what the F65 Ital looks like... like a BA with a slightly narrower face, with the same nose and lips. The F65 faceplate is larger than a 60cm head only just.
So that's about it. I'll have to start working on my post on recasts and if you have anything interesting that I can blog about, please share!

The Slow-down: 2016-2019

Wow. I used to collect a lot, and now, I don't do a lot of collecting at all. My collection has slowed to a crawl - some of it is prob...
