Pullips and Junk

178/365- Little Pullip Dog

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Klein

After coming to the conclusion that Pullipstyle must be sold out of Little Pullip Dog as she has not restocked any time in 2011, I decided to give up on them and look elsewhere for her. I found Dog very reasonably priced on ebay from a new shop called PopFuzz that is based out of Brooklyn, New York . They have a physical store that sells all sorts of neat stuff like Pullips, records, books, cds and art toys as well as an ebay store which seems to specialize in Pullips and Monster High dolls. I haven’t made it to the store yet but have heard nothing but good things from various friends who have bought from them, so I decided to try ordering from them too. I had a very pleasant experience buying from them, Little Dog arrived quickly and well packaged she was also very reasonably priced. I would definitely do business with them again (well actually I just kind of bought some Monster High dolls from them as well, so I guess they have made a repeat customer out of me already).

Anyway unto Dog, whom I have decided to name Winona after Applejack’s dog in the new My Little Pony cartoon. Dog was the last member of the Bremen Town’s Musicians that I needed to complete the set, I had actually wanted her for a long while but PS was out of stock so I kept waiting ^^;.

177/365- Swiss Alps Ddung Doll

Posted on July 4, 2011 by Klein

As I mentioned in a recent post about my new mini Ddung Alice doll, I ended up going back and buying a larger sized Ddung doll from Truefan as well. She arrived recently, she is an Alps Girl Ddung and I have named her Dahlia.

Ddung are just way too adorable, they are almost too cute.

176/365- Custom Bunny Dal Carrot

Posted on July 4, 2011 by Klein

Another unexpected little arrival came this past weekend, namely Carrot. Carrot is a custom bunny dal, I unfortunately do not know who customized her. For a dal she is quite happy, her lips have been carved to make her smile a bit more than frowny dal normally would. She came to me wearing modified Raphia stock (bunny ears and several pieces of fruit were added), I ended up taking it in just a tad so it would fit dal better.
Carrot is way too adorable for words, I have a weakness for bunny dolls in the first place but there is just something special about her. Continue reading →

Comic-con Exclusive Pullips Catwoman and Batgirl Announced

Posted on July 2, 2011 by Klein

San Diego Comic-con is a little bit later this month, there have been rumors floating around since this past winter’s Doll Carnival of SDCC exclusives Batgirl Pullip and Catwoman Dal. I love DC comics and I love Pullip so I was really excited when the rumors first started but clear pictures never really surfaced of the two dolls. I started to wonder if that meant they failed to get the licensing agreement worked out but my fears were all for naught as pictures have finally surfaced.

Batgirl As the deep black cape flutters behind me…. I will run though the dark night…. I will protect the peace of GOTHAM CITY….Feel Like So

I am absolutely amazed with Batgirl and could not be happier with her, she looks just how I always pictured a Batgirl Pullip in my head (okay she was a bit bustier).

Okay, I do have one slight complaint I wish the bottom part of her mask wasn’t quite so pointy as it looks kind of awkward from some angles.

Batgirl’s face up is gorgeous and I think it really suits Babs’ character wonderfully, the face up isn’t too overly done up or dramatic and she has a wonderful smile.

Catwoman Like a wild cat…. I blend into the night in a carefree manner…. I will get anything I want…Feel Like So

Catwoman is amazing too, it’s an awesome rendition of the newest Catwoman costume I just wish Pullip filled out the costume a little bit more (type 4 are rather flat chested unfortunately).

I hope she comes with that whip!

I must admit, Catwoman looks a bit crazed without any of the headgear on; I’m not really complaining about it as it will make her fit in more with my custom Harley Quinn Pullip.

175/365- Epic Dolly mail day & pics of Dead Tired Monster High dolls

Posted on June 28, 2011 by Klein

I’m skipping ahead a day to make up for lost time as well frankly, this past Friday ended up being an epic dolly day. I didn’t plan for the epic dolly day but these things have a way of happening. I stopped at ToysRUS on the way home from work to see if they had any of the new Monster High dolls in stock after failing to find any the previous day at Walmart or Target, they had a nice selection of the newer dolls so I ended up getting Dead Tired Ghoulia and Draculaura. While I had received Dal Pinocchio as a gift Thursday I was honestly not expecting anything else to show up for quite some time. Byul Leroy and Pullip Henri arrived earlier than anticipated from EntertainmentEarth and my Swiss Alps Ddung also arrived in the mail making for one epic dolly day.

I immediately broke out my new Monster High dolls for some pictures as I hadn’t gotten any new Monster High dolls in quite some time (I think maybe before Christmas?).

Of course, I couldn’t resist a puny photo featuring Ghoulia’s brain puffs.

172/365- Pullip Ludmila

Posted on June 27, 2011 by Klein

I bought a Ludmila Pullip at the Animadness meet last weekend. Unfortunately for Ludmila, I have been having so much fun playing with Duela that she was neglected and left her in a box a few days ^^; I decided to debox her a few days ago and took some pictures of her.

I had a hard time thinking of a name for her, I already have/had a Scarlet and a Ruby which would have suited her wonderfully. I ended up naming her Blaze, not exactly sure how the name came to me but it’s the only thing that stuck. Continue reading →

171/365- Alice in Wonderland Mini Ddung doll

Posted on June 23, 2011 by Klein

Puddle is a fan-run convention in Chicago for collectors of Pullip and company, it’s run by the very awesome Dal enthusiast Truefan. I had ideally hoped to attend this year but unfortunately I wasn’t able to. Truefan was able to obtain a limited number of the oddly named but exceedingly adorable Ddung dolls to sell at Puddle, amazingly all of them did not sell at Puddle so she placed the spares up for sale on the various doll forums. One of the extra Ddungs that she had available was the Mini Alice in Wonderland Ddung, being a huge Alice in Wonderland fan I could not resist her.

170/365- Requiemart Custom Pullip Duela Dent

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Klein

As I mentioned in a previous entry on the way up to the Animadness meet, I stopped at Requiemart‘s to pick up a custom Pullip. The custom Pullip was of course the delightfully demented Duela Dent.

The custom Duela Dent Pullip is based off of a relatively obscure DC comic book character, she is very stylized interpretation of the character. The short form of her back story is something like this- Duela Dent is from another world (Earth-3) within the DC multi-verse where everything is opposite of the normal DC Universe- a heroic Jokester (Joker) fights the evil Owlman (Batman) as well as other members of the crime syndicate Ultraman, Superwoman etc. Duela is actually the daughter of the heroic Jokester (as well as the female good ~~guy~~ er.. girl version of Two-Face). Unfortunately for Duela, her consciousness unknowingly shifts from Earth-3 and mainline continuity, two worlds that are as different as night and day as a result of the stress of constantly changing worlds and basically not knowing which end is up anymore she becomes a bit unhinged (before she is eventually killed ^^;).

169/365- Animadness Doll Meet

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Klein

This past Saturday, I attended a doll meet at Animadness. Animadness is an anime store in Waltham, MA that also happens to regularly stock pullip. Although the meet ended up being a bit smaller than expected (normally we get around 12-15 people, this time 6) it was still a good meet.

Normally during the meets we make a wall of dolls, our doll wall wasn’t quite as impressive as it normally is but there was still a pretty diverse group of dolls at the meet.
