Requiemart and I attended Anime Boston yesterday, unlike last year where we both attended but only sort of. Last year we both helped out at different booths (she was at Animadness and I was at Toyslogic ) so we didn’t really get to do a whole hell of a lot else. This year attendance at Anime Boston was strictly for fun or maybe a bit of sport.
These were two of my favorite cosplayers, I mean I love Joker but this guy was really selling it haha and Poison Ivy’s lukewarm reception of him was perfect.
Tons more pictures behind the cut

There will be another pullip meet at the Animadness store in Waltham, MA on Sunday, August 22nd. The meet starts at 2pm and goes until whenever we have had our fill of dollies. The shop owners are very awesome to us doll collector’s, in addition to being a somewhat local source of dolls for us all they also host meets for us occasionally. I believe this will be Animadness’ third pullip meet, I have previously attended two and will be attending this one barring any exigent circumstances.

In addition to 10% off doll purchases, you will also get a free blindbox re-ment with the purchase of a doll. There will be three different photo set-ups at the store for pictures (school, beach and Alice in Wonderland) and there will be a swap meet (buy/sell/trade doll stuff). While it is primarily a pullip meet-up other dolls are welcome as well (I normally bring at least a bjd and a blythe along).
Here are some pictures from previous meet-ups at Animadness
Just a reminder, I am going to be out of town starting tomorrow until mid-next week and I will probably not have any internet access so replies will be extremely slow ^^

The Meet
I attended the Winter Animadness Pullip meet today. First let me explain the madness involved with going to this meet, due to my insanely tight schedule this week I had basically packed all the dolls except the bjds this past Monday and then last night something came up and I thought I wouldn’t be able to attend the meet which of course meant I spent all last night unpacking the dolls, then this morning the situation changed and I could attend again so I had to repack everything in about a two hour time frame and I brought approximately 30 dolls with me. I brought a pretty good selection of dolls including pullips, dals, a couple of taeyangs, dollfie dreams, super dollfie, blythes and a little fee while it is primarily a pullip meet, there is always someone curious about the other types of dolls and it is a good chance to see one in person if you are kind on the fence about trying a different type of doll especially with the more expensive dolls as that is a lot of money to spend just to find out you don’t like the doll.
In this picture all of the dolls on the lowest shelf and all of the ones sitting/standing on the ground with the exception of Big Pullip (who belongs to requiemart) are mine. There were about twenty collectors at the meet today and well over a 100 dolls there. The official picture of the day is one of most of the dolls lined up on the dvd shelves, there were other dolls at the meet but this was taken pretty early on before everyone arrived and a few dolls like my Jouet and Requiemart‘s Joel were off getting their pictures taken when I took this picture.
The meet there was still a bit chaotic, but it was better planned than last time and there was a bit more room this time too.
There was eventually a swap, I managed to swap for a Mini Pullip Berry and sell a few items. Speaking of selling a few items, my money situation was kind of hilarious today I have a separate bank account for my fun money and I won’t let myself spend any of my other money on fun stuff. I had pretty steadily been splurging this month and I had literally just splurged on a Volks Yo-SD in the last few days and just paid her off and had just enough leftover to pay off a custom doll I had on layaway. When I heard I wasn’t going to be able to go to the meet it was like okay because I don’t really have funds to buy another doll right now anyway and I know I would want one if I went. Then I was told I could go again, I was basically on a mission to find funding. I dug around in my different hoody pockets, purses etc and managed to scrape together $60 further scraping once I got in the car got me up to around $75 made enough from sales to get me up to $86 and due to their sales special with 10% off I was just able to buy the doll I wanted (I did have to borrow a quarter from a friend >_< ). Never let it be said I give up easily.
Of course that brings up the question of what I did buy as I did not buy a pullip, a dal or even a taeyang. I actually bought a Hestia, Hestia was a line of dolls put out by Jun Planning that was later discontinued they were seemingly replaced by J-doll. Hestia’s entire thing was that two dolls were released concurrently and the dolls were a set of twins Rib(b)on and Isora. Both dolls would have a similiar theme but the dolls themselves would kind of be opposites of each for example one month the releases were priestess outfits one appeared to be holy priestess dressed in white while the other appeared to be a priestess of the dark arts and was dressed all in black. I bought the first release of Rib(b)on, I didn’t take any pictures of her yet but I will tomorrow. I also got two nude hestias from requiemart as she bought them to harvest their clothes from.
And the photo ops
My Jouet, Gelato is a bit of a brat apparently and would not stop harassing her brother Joel. Joel is a requiemart custom taeyang made to resemble the dal Jouet, she also made a pullip Jouet named Joyette whom I own. Joyette was supposed to come to the meet today unfortunately while she was packed up on Monday, in all the rush today of trying to get all the other dolls together I was unable to locate her in time to bring her along.
I couldn’t resist taking a picture of my Paja, Raja and Requiemart’s custom Paja dal Pajelle. I do hope she eventually decides to rehome her..
There was actually a byul at this meet :O It was my first time seeing one in person, I have to say they are still not really for me. I did decide to take a picture of Tigerlily with my Happy Birthday Pullip 2 Kaya though.
Catcraig also brought along her along Little Fee Ante so we decided to snap a picture of the two of them together, mine is the one with the acid green fur wig.
While I do like seeing everyone’s dolls at meets some of the mystique is kind of hampered by my having all the dolls for the most part ^^; Of course, I was super excited to see zombuki Cheshire’s new look (or as she is now known unzombuki) but more on that later..

Animadness is hosting another pullip meet. The meet will be on Saturday, January 23rd at 2-5 pm. Animadness is located in Waltham, MA. This will be the second meet at Animadness, you can read about the first meet in my write up here. Animadness is offering 10% off of all pullips/dals/taeyangs as well as a free re-ment with purchase of any pullip/dal/taeyang, they are also going to be having two raffles this time one for everyone and one for everyone that purchases a doll. I’m personally not sure if I will buying any dolls unless they have the January releases in stock, I don’t have anymore pullips/dals on my immediate wants list at the moment. There will be photo ops and probably a swap again as well. More information can be found here.

I will be attending this meet with zilla in tow, I will even make sure she brings along her blythe to the meet. I will be bringing along a suitcase full of pullips/dals probably a blythe or two as well as one of my Volks Super Dollfies and probably a Dollfie Dream or two so if anyone is in the area and wants to see what they look like in person this would be a good opportunity. Somewhat of note, present circumstances do not allow me to attend Anime Boston or Puddle this year even though I was really looking forward to both events I just can’t go 
. My schedule is fairly insane for the rest of the year, plus I am fairly anti-social in general (^^;) so this will be one of the few opportunities to actually meet me in person if anyone was wanting to. There is at least somewhat of a silver-lining to my not be able to attend Anime Boston or Puddle this year though, I am effectively being bribed a dollfie per a missed event (yay for guilt trips).

I had a lot of fun at our pullip meet of two today. I acquired 10 new wigs (and a set of cyberfalls) for my girls, new furniture as well as bunch of much needed replacement parts. I have decided I definitely want Horison after seeing Requiem’s in the flesh as he is just gorgeous.
I made two decisions today during my meet with Requiem… 1. My first custom will be Chii and I have already commissioned Requiem to make me external audio receptors 2. That I regretted finding out my Paja was not stock as it caused me to remove the enhanced eye make up. After removing the eye make up though Paja just looks so plain so she went home with Requiem so she can replace the enhanced eye make up I now miss.
I did debox Dorothy and Tinman today, Requiem was kind enough to make me a better pair of ruby slippers as the stock ones are a bit lacking and well both of had skin tone questions about Tin Man and whether or not he is entirely silver (which he actually is). I’ll probably do the other two tomorrow as well as Debut who showed up today. Debut really floored me as her bike is actually metal I was half expecting cheap plastic, quality from Jun Planning O_O

Faewyn is a custom done by Papermoonpixie that was given away in a raffle, my friend won her and if you have been following this journal you know I am in the process of purchasing her. Somewhat surprisingly she shipped today, I haven’t paid for her in full yet so I was kind of surprised, I asked Skada and she said she trusted me besides she didn’t really have the room for her anyway.
