Blog Challenge 26: Do you have a favourite?

What a question! And I don't think it matters if readers don't tell, I think it would be discovered anyway.

I'd like to think I don't have favourites - but I know I do, and I'm sure that sometimes it can be a little obvious. But then I don't like to discuss the idea of favourites - it might get me into a lot of trouble. I suppose I could talk about favourites in terms of a favourite size, or a favourite sculpt or possibly a favourite within each size, so I might try to do that... I might not get in as much trouble if I spread the favouritism around...

My favourite size would have to be Pukifee - I love how cute and bobbly-headed they are. They are also a favourite in terms of numbers - I currently have six Pukifee with another four on my wish list. I also have a gap in my wish list if CP ever produces a Pukifee Lishe, at which point I would probably need two.. lol.

As for favourites within sizes... Well here goes:

• My favourite SSD would have to be Morrigan, possibly because she has been with me the longest. Arawn would come a close second. (nothing against Pallus, he's just harder to move around).
• My favourite SD would have to be Magnus I think - he is a pain to move around and ironically enough he's not a Lishe, but he was for a long time my only male SD and that gives him a special place in my heart.
• My favourite MSD would probably be Vulcan - just because he's so much fun. There are a few runners up - Bellona Lua and Magna Dea, as well as my Chiclines... that's almost all of my MSDs, I know.
• My favourite LTF is definitely a lot harder, I like Hades, and Ianthe - with soft spots for Violet and Emmeline.
• Pukifee size, well, I think my favourite would have to be Isis, but then as my favourite size in general they all get a special place in my heart simply because of their personalities and fun.
• Tinier than Pukifee - Well, I don't think I can go past Mati. The attitude does it to me again, I think.

As for favourite sculpt, I think that's obvious(!) - I currently have 9 Lishes in a variety of sizes: 5 Delf sized heads, 2 MNF, 1 Chicline and a LTF.  I only have two more girls to collect - a Delf Tan and a basic OE Elf 05... more information on them in my other blog: Lished. My second favourite sculpt would have to be the BA - I have all of the Fairyland releases except for the Dreaming F70 head, which I don't think I'll ever be lucky enough to have. I currently have 5 BAs - an F70; a scarred MNF (with sleeping head); and three LTF.

So those are my favourites... I don't think I dug too big of a hole for myself in answering that question, did I? And if you're trying to figure out who my all time favourite of my collection is, I think it might be easy to realise if you're a follower of my flickr. Someone does turn up in pictures a lot more than anyone else...

Blog Challenge 25: Faceups?

Ahhh, the faceup question. The simple answer is no. I will never do a faceup on one of my dolls. The more detailed answer is below, lol.

I can count the number of dolls I have bought blank on one hand. There was Ianthe and Isis at the start of my collecting history and now Vesna and Rasmus. The rest of my dolls who have non-default faceups either did not offer an option to have their head faceuped, or I bought them blank or already painted secondhand.

This is simply because usually I have no problems with the default - there are a few dolls that I will be buying later on that I am going to pick up blank because I'm not a fan of the default, but that rarely happens. Usually I consider getting the default a cheaper and more convenient option than finding a faceup artist and spending more money to get them painted. Three of my four dolls bought blank was because buying them blank was cheaper - Ianthe and Isis because at that time I believe the number of dolls I was buying at the same time was around 6 (it was a bit nuts in the early days) and Vesna because I was already buying a few extras and I thought I might as well knock off a little bit of the money. Originally I was planning on buying Vesna with a default. Rasmus is a little different, while I liked his body and fantasy parts well enough, I was never a real fan of his face, especially not his eyes. They were a bit too narrow and slit-like for me, so I was going to decide when I got him whether or not to mod his eyes. (in the beginning I was actually thinking about dumping his head and finding another... then I realised how few SOOM heads that were available in CW I actually liked... most of them I already have.) So Rasmus being blank is to allow me the option to mod his eyes if I really dislike them.

Ironically enough, those four previously mentioned as well as Persephone (who is a special case) are also the only dolls I had a choice whether or not to have/keep a default faceup, the rest are either event items where no faceup was given or secondhand and bought blank or already with a faceup. Persephone is a exception because while I bought her secondhand with a default faceup, her default started to peel and I then chose to give her a non-default to replace it.

Faceups have in some cases - most notably Isis - made the character of the doll. Isis' ability to glare at me even while blank and her successive goth faceups make her who she is - this is also the case with Sirona, although her sleepy expression also helped!

While this is a BJD blog challenge for the most part, I am now the proud owner of a number of Blythes (only one of which I have) and I can honestly say that for the first time I am considering customising my own dolls.

Blythes are a lot larger than BJDs and that might have something to do with the idea that it may be easier to customise them. I don't have as clear an idea of what I want my Blythes to look like and feel that there might not be a bad thing when it comes to me customising them myself. It also looks a little easier than faceuping a BJD...

I have a faceplate arriving that I will use to practise on. Here goes nothing...

Blog Challenge 24: Would you mod a doll?

Its been a while since I responded to one of the blog challenges. But here I am again, ready to blog. (For other breaking news, Vesna has been shipped.)

Question 24: Would you mod a doll?

I have nothing against mods. It is a bit of a given if you want a Vampire Elf (VE) from CP (Cerberus Project). All of CPs VEs are sleeping heads and given the popularity of Vampire dolls, to only do them in sleeping means that it becomes harder and hard to have one of these dolls in its original sleeping state. There are a few CP dolls who are vampires but are not sleeping - these are all older Delfs who don't have a sleeping head in that size. The ones I know for sure are just dreaming are the Lishe, the El and the Shiwoo. Lishe and El have particularly narrow dreaming eyes.

I have one doll who I have modded from sleeping to OE who is a VE and that is my VE Chloe, Pax. I don't particularly like sleeping dolls as a person in themselves, I can't quite see how a character would work sleeping all the time. I have been frequently tempted to mod my VE Lishe, Nemain, as I am not a fan of those slitted dreaming eyes, but I want to keep her original.

I also have a couple of dolls who were modded before they came to me - one for a good reason and one which seems silly. Sirona is my modded Dreaming Lishe and her eyes now look as if they are half open, which makes her character look good. The other is a Juri 2005 Limited edition who had her eyes opened further - which I don't think was a good idea. I'm not keeping her, but more people are looking for unmodded Juris rather than the modded ones.

The other doll that I am planning to mod is my SOOM Arkose, Rasmus. He hasn't been paid off yet and I am waiting until I have him in hand, but I am so far (based on production and owner images) going to open his eyes. For me they just look too narrow and I want them a touch wider - but I am being good and waiting until I get him in my hot little hands before I decide.

I would not, ever, pick up the dremel myself to mod them - I always use the experience of others to mod my dolls - I am not paritcularly artist and don't feel that I have the skills to successfully mod the dolls myself.

Blog Challenge 23: Favourite part of the hobby

There are a few things I really like about this hobby - I love the ability to customise dolls as much as you want so that your doll can look completely different to someone else's even when you really own exactly the same one. Even within collections I find that I can do this as well.

I like the people you meet - well, the ones who don't suffer from problems of elitism and an over abundance of drama. I have met lovely people both in person at doll meets as well as through forums like DoA and on flickr - I love exchanging comments and receiving comments on photos and having discussions about dolls.

I also like the variety within this hobby - there are so many different companies and sculpts and sizes that it truly is a hobby that can be enjoyed by young and old and by completely different people since the number of companies and sculpts allow all people to chose the dolls they want and they don't have to collect the same thing as anyone else if they don't want to.

Blog Challenge 22: Dislike part of the hobby?

My pet peeve in this hobby is the elitism. I don't understand why people will spend the ridiculous amounts of money to buy Volks, simply because of its brand and I don't understand the importance of price in the desirability of the doll.

I remember my second meet up - the first was different, mainly because it was presided over by a delightful woman named Carol who loved all dolls regardless and had a simple irreverence for cost or price or stuff like that. My second meet up had been organised by LK and me because we wanted to meet some of the doll lovers around. And we need meet some nice people, but at the same time we met some that I was not all that impressed with.

At the time I had one doll - Marcheline, who is of course a DollCatch Stella, a company which went out of business less than a year after I purchased her. LK had three dolls - Sabine, her Goodreau; Callisto, her Elfdoll Catsy (who wasn't sold at the time) and Minu, her RS Mei.

The meet up was held at a place called Madam Brussels' which wasn't all that big. Some of the doll owners placed their dolls at one end of the table and they sat there (with their owners standing in front of them) for the entirety of the meet. When I walked around to see the dolls I went down the end and was introduced to some of the dolls.

It was something like this: - this is a _____ its head is worth $400 and is REALLY rare. This is a _____ its worth this much... etc etc. (ironically the most expensive head was released later and that gave me a bit of satisfaction, I admit.) - but then none of those people asked what my doll was, just looked at Marcheline like she was a cheap piece of crap. The ironic thing is although Marcheline was probably one of the cheapest dolls on the table that day, I doubt any of the people there would have recognised her unless I told them.

Another time I came up against this was at another meet that LK and I organised in which we said before hand that we didn't mind if people touched our dolls - picked them up etc. We were attacked by another member and their partner for daring to suggest that people would be allowed to touch THEIR expensive dolls. It made me a bit sick to be honest.  They seemed to be suggesting members of the hobby would mistreat their rare expensive dolls... etc etc.

There have been other times with people who hold onto their dolls with death grips and don't let anyone touch them etc etc. I honestly think that those who spend as much as many in this hobby on dolls would be caring enough to treat my dolls with the respect that I would show theirs. I have no problems if they say "Oh, I just wanted to have a look, can I?" - I don't mind them taking my doll up the other end of the table to compare them to the one they already have.

Often I ask people to have a look at my collection and if there is something there they want to see, I will bring them along - what's the point of having these dolls if you don't let people look and compare and consider them?

But yeah, that's the thing that I most dislike about the hobby.

Blog Challenge 21: Fave Doll Scale Prop

This is fairly ironic - even though I have a few props that are doll scale, I don't actually have a favourite. I'm not much for using props in photos, although I know eventually I should attempt to get better at it to make the photos more interesting.

I do have some props - mostly for the pukifee (as usual!) - mostly rement and similar things, some toys etc. Vulcan does have a sword, but that is one of the only MSD and larger sized props that I have - mainly because props that large are really hard to store, even more than the dolls themselves.

But yeah... no favourite props.

Blog Challenge 20: Love but not owned?

There is only one doll this could be - the SOOM SuperGem Carnel.

This is for several reasons - the Carnel was released when SOOM was still creating basic Super Gems - this didn't last long and the Carnel was the first to be pulled down along with one of the female sculpts (I believe it was the Olivine).

There has been some question as to whether or not there were any Carnel's sold during the time that they were actually there for sale. In fact I have google searched and searched flickr and DoA and I've never seen a single owner pic of the Super Gem Carnel.

So I don't think I'd ever manage to get a Super Gem Carnel, unless SOOM suddenly starts selling them again or the unthinkable happens and one appears on the MP. But I don't think it will ever happen.

Blog Challenge 19: Dream Doll

Does anyone not know this??

So I don't exactly have a dream/grail doll as such, mine is much more of a grail sculpt. It just happens to be the Lishe as sculpted in her variety of forms by the sculpting company CP - and sold either by Luts or Fairyland. I love the smile and the way that the Lishe's expression can change with a tilt of the head.

I do like how a wig and a pair of eyes and a face up can completely change the way that a Lishe can look and that you then have to then tell people that they are essentially the same doll. I also like the sizes, although I wouldn't mind a few more... smaller ;)

But yeah... that's my dream sculpt.

Blog Challenge 18: Least fave company?

And no... its not SOOM, I just needed Magnus is a photo...

I don't like to classify any doll companies as "least favourite" although I am not massive fond of a lot of them - and I don't mean any offence to any one who does like these companies.

I am not a fan of Volks - their dolls have very wide faces and they don't appeal to me at all. I am not a fan of faces with small eyes - there are some faces sculpted by Dollzone which I don't particularly like. But then there are a number of faces sculpted by SOOM that look like someone has slapped them in the face with a wet fish before giving them a large dose of botox.

Some dolls have strange bodies - while I quite like the possibility of ShinyDolls, the missing part of the back of their thighs are just too icky.

I also really dislike faces that look too much like babies - like LTF Bisous... those faces given me the shakes, as do those with their eyes too far apart like the PKF/LTF Icis and Flora.

I don't like the overly bulky body or humanoid faces that make up the Iplehouse lines (or at least, not anymore... my taste has matured).

I suppose the majority of my dislike of companies is more in the style and construction of their sculpts rather than the company itself.

Blog Challenge 17: Favourite Company?

I think my favourite company is fairly obvious to anyone who knows much about my collection and that is the dolls made by the sculpting company Cerberus Project, sold under the company Fairyland and of course, the Luts Delfs.

It's not the skill in the construction that makes me like them so much, although that it one massive thing that I like about them - it's the style of the faces especially in the older sculpts - my favourites of course being the Lishe, the El and the Breakaway. But then I also like the fun of the Pukifee and RealPuki, the attention to detail that comes with the A-lines, the length of the F70's legs and the leggy style that it has. I love the time it took them to create the F65 and the fact that Fairyland had to tell them off for an event item that they refused to sell (they made CP do it again!)

I could go on forever... but I think I'll stop there...

Blog Challenge 16: clothing

This is super hard - I have so many different pieces of clothes that could be within my favourite pile. So I couldn't justifiably pick a particular favourite - so I will share some of my favourite outfits.

1. The fullset outfits - Violet's; Angelu's; Magnus'; Pallus'; Mithras'; Diana's - all the detail, the ruffles the extras and the tiny pleats on the front of Angelu's dress.
2. the outfits owned by the Pukifee - Isis' evil t-shirts; Ma'at's colour outfits; tiny detailed dresses and t-shirts and pants. (especially the tiny knits... alexisbears and the others are geniuses!)
3. The jeans made by Sharon in Spain (dambuster01 on flickr) that are worn by my LTF boys: Icarus, Ares, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus.
4. The cheeky corset from Peppermint Circus that belongs to Bellona Lua.
5. The variety of items that I have from Diverse Designs - the punk outfits; little dresses, skull t-shirts, and the rocker t-shirts that Arawn will wear....

So... while this isn't all of my outfits... I'm sure you can see why I can't seem to pick!

Blog Challenge 15: Stand up!

So today's question is whether or not they can stand on their heads... well, I had to pick someone unafraid to look completely silly in a photograph (and yes, that is a VERY hard thing in this household.) Ares volunteered, so here he is!

Blog Challenge 14: Family's thoughts?

My family accepts that I collect dolls - my parents despair of the money I spend and the space it takes up; and whether or not they're insured. They except that I'm old enough to make my own decisions- it might have been different had I been a lot younger when I started collecting. But then I have always had dolls and a lot of them, and they have never been my only collection or user of money.

My brothers accept it to - probably think I'm a little strange, but then one of my older brothers has more than one car - he has 2, a motorbike, a parts car and a couple of engines... ;) (My father has also had a number of cars, the most we had at any point at our place was about 9). While my younger brother doesn't collect things, he is strange in his own way, so my dolls don't make me much stranger or more unique than the rest of my family.

Blog Challenge 13: Heads and Bodies

So have I had any headless bodies or bodiless heads... oh yes... most definitely. My only rule is that if I purchase a head or body, it needs to be completed by the next year, which I have managed to keep to so far!

I bought my first head within 1 or 2 months of getting into the hobby and it was Bellona Lua, my MNF Lishe. Since then I've had a number of floating heads and even a couple of headless bodies. So to make it practical... here they are:

Floating heads:

1. Bellona Lua - MNF Lishe*
2. Sirona - Delf Lishe*
3. Vulcan - MNF Scar BA*
4. Multihead Cupid x2
5. Multihead Ante
6. Caesair - Delf Elf Lishe*
7. Arawn - Feeple BA*
8. Poseidon - LTF BA*
9. Zeus - LTF BA*
10. Hades - LTF BA*
11. Delf Juri 2005*
12. Veja - Puki Sugar*
13. Pax - MNF VE Chloe*
14. LTF Shiwoo*
15. Nox - MNF Eliya*
16. Various Event Heads - LTF/PKF Duck heads, Multihead Cupid... etc etc

Bodies:

1. Fairyland Feeple70 body
2. RealPuki body

Blog Challenge Day 12: Dollie shoes

So all of my dollies are now without shoes! - and this was not all of them, as some I suddenly have only one of! But there they are all... ironically it seems I have more shoes for my Pukifee and LittleFee than I do for any of the others (most of whom have only one pair each).

Blog Challenge Day 11: Friends and dolls

My friends and work mates are actually really good with my dolls - some don't know about them, but most of my workmates have met some of my dolls, including Pallus, my largest. Most think its a little strange but interesting. One of my workmates collects crystals, so she understands quite a lot. Most will sound resigned when I mention that I've fallen for another doll. They marvel at the amount and one memorable time I was asked whether or not my doll had all his "Bits" didn't take me long to show them!

A lot of my friends don't know I have them if they are not a dolly-friend. I have had people surprised and weirded out by the more human ones, but mostly I get polite interest and then they leave them alone!

Blog Challenge Day 10: Dolls and Animals

This is the strangest of the questions on the blog challenge list - so here is a picture of Janus and on of my dogs, Ridley - a slightly dirty Maltese Shih-tsu who is roughly 9 years old. He wasn't particularly happy about being woken up and forced to look at the camera. (the other one is a larger - MUCH! - maltese cross who is about 12).

The doll chosen for this photo was Janus - small, easy to pose and possibly one of the least confronting dolls I have. And that's the challenge done.

Blog Challenge 9: Least favourite?

I think this question is as hard as yesterdays! As much as I'd like to have a clearly defined favourite and non-favourite size, my collecting is not as simple as that. I prefer to define it as a preference rather than a "favouritism".

My non-preference is in the bigger dolls - there are less dolls on my wish list that are in SD or SSD and while I'm not adverse to getting them, I have very few which are not part of a defined collection - for example, of my 3 current (and incoming) SSDs - 1 is part of my Lishe collection, 1 a part of my small BA selection and only one was bought on their "own merits" as it were.

Similarly in my SD collection - 3 of 7 are not part of my Lishe collection ( not that I don't like SDs other than who are Lishes) and bought "on their merits". Or simply because I liked them, or had a particular idea for them. I have also sold one of my SDs, (and coincidentally 2 of my MSDs) who didn't fit in with a particular ideal I have.

So I suppose you could say that SD/SSDs were my less preferred size, although that's not really saying much at all - SD/SSDs is also my least populated sizes - the majority of my dolls are Yo and smaller.

Blog Challenge Day 8: Favourite...

I have been trying to figure out if I have a favourite size all day. I counted my sizes and my dolls and all that and I can't tell simply from the numbers!

I currently have:

• 2 SSDs - Pallus and Morrigan (with Arawn only 1 payment away)
• 6 SDs - Magnus, Marcheline, Sirona, Nemain, Caesair and Fea (with one more on the list)
• 7 MSDs - Corvinus, Bellona Lua, Vulcan, Sol Invictus, Janus, Mithras and Diana (with 2 more heads)
• 9 YoSDs - Violet, Emmeline, Cassius, Ianthe, Icarus, Ares, Hades, Poseidon and Zeus
• 9 Tinies - Isis, Osiris, Ma'at, Anubis, Nephthys, Seth, Angelu, Persephone and Mati (with another incoming and 1 floating head).

So even though I really couldn't decide what my favourite size is, I suppose you could say that I have a preference for smaller dolls - since those are the ones that I have more of... and I suppose you can say of those tinies I have more Pukifee than anything else (and I also have another 2 on my wish list), so they could be the doll I preferred more than anything else...

But I'll deny it... :)

As for favourite sculpt... well, that's another story.

Blog Challenge Day 7: Smallest

The smallest doll I own fits in the palm of my hand, but not only that - the palm of my biggest doll, Pallus. She is a minion with attitude - she is Mati. Mati is a Fairyland PukiPuki Ruby faceplate (with the Dark Rose faceup) on a RealPuki body, and she stands at approximately 9.5cm tall. RealPukis have much more "fantasy" faces, none on which I was fond of, but I wanted to get my hands on a body. Originally I was going to get a faceplate with the Dark Moon faceup. Mati was born when I finally got her faceplate and put it on her body and she stared at me sightlessly for a couple of weeks. She was wigless for a lot longer, but pulled it off with a style only Mati has.

Before I got Mati, my smallest doll was my second - a beautiful WS PukiPuki Flora called Persephone. Persephone is much taller than Mati at 11cm.
