Get- Tiphona Pullip

Tiphona arrived yesterday from Pullipstyle. From time to time Pullipstyle offers dolls with dented boxes or otherwise damaged dolls at a discount; I bought Tiphona as a damaged/bait doll. She was a doll that had been returned, I emailed PS when I saw her at a bargain price wondering why she was so cheap and I  was told her “issue” was a loose/floppy neck . I was assured that it wasn’t that bad, I decided to throw caution to the wind and buy her (I wasn’t completely adventurous I bought a replacement type 4 body just in case). I was pleasantly surprised when I unpacked her and found out there was not a thing wrong with her, so I was very happy that I got a doll I wanted at a discount with no issues and as a bonus I didn’t even have to deal with the sometimes  painful deboxing process.

Preordered Evangelion Ballet Figures

I don’t preorder many anime figures these days but the Evangelion ballerina figures of Rei and Asuka brought me out of preordering hiatus. The figures are based on an illustration from Carmine an art book by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.

I actually used to do ballet for six years myself, so I have to admit a bit of a weakness towards ballerina figures.

How many DD can you squeeze into a phonebooth?

I’m in the middle of a cleaning spree as the apartment was rather most unfortunate at the moment ^^; I work as well as take care of a very active 2 year old by myself- cleaning  other than the play area where zilla and I mostly hangout was not a huge priority for me. That is not mentioning the fact, that somehow I never got proper home economics type lessons it’s embarrassing but I would never make it as a housewife …I regularly set fire to things in the kitchen and had only the vaguest idea of how to turn the vacuum cleaner on. Most of the clutter in the apartment is ironically shipping supplies from the stuff I get in ^^;
The DDs are most displeased with me at the moment >_<
Normally about 1/2 of the dollfie dreams hang out in the living room sitting on the couch, I was cleaning the living room yesterday though so I thought they would be a little safer upstairs in the doll room. I put them all in the glass case I bought for my dollfie dreams a while ago, it was never ideally supposed to hold more than 6 at a time preferably only 4. 8 was really pushing it but I managed to get all 13 in as I thought it was the safest spot for them in the apartment at the time.
Top shelf
I am painfully aware that I need to get back to Ikea and get 2-3 more of these cases unfortunately I can’t until I get some help. My apartment starts on the 4th floor and the doll room is on the 6th floor somehow I do not see myself being able to carry one of these all the way up there on my own, I can lift a fair bit for a girl especially of my size (4’10) but the bulk and overall awkwardness of the boxes it probably just would not work out so well for your humble narrator here.
Bottom Shelf
Most of the girls that normally hang out in the living room have retaken their place on the couch, except for Yoko (alpha) who is happily chilling on my desk at the moment.

It was pretty tight in the case, but I find myself wondering if I could have actually fit a 14th DD in there if I had really wanted to… Not that I have DD #14 the supposed last of the year in the mail or anything…

Get- Ddalgi Pullip

I neglected to preorder this month’s pullip release Ddalgi, which I regretted as soon as I saw some owner photos. Luckily for me, someone who did preorder her decided they couldn’t keep her so I was able to get my hands on one.

Preorder- 1/4 scale Harley Quinn Statue

DC Direct is releasing another figure in their new 1/4 scale line of museum quality statues, this time of my beloved Harley Quinn. There is already a Joker statue that is due out next month that I have preordered so of course I had to jump in the love miss Quinzel’s preorder as well  I love Harley Quinn almost as much as I love Joker.
16393_a_full
Being a 1/4 scale she is fairly large about 16.5 inches tall and she weighs an impressive 22.4 lbs.
16393_b_full
Her outfit is exquisitely tailored being mixed media statues they were really able to go all out on the detail.
16393_c_full
She even comes with her “babies” Bud and Lou (named after the very old comedians).
Harley Quinn comes out in May of next year, I have mine preordered at BigBadToyStore she is currently listed there at $274.99 about  $50 off of the $325 MSRP

Middie Blythe Announced

Takara is offering a new doll in the blythe line. She is larger than a petite blythe but smaller than a neo blythe, she is appropriately named Middie.
100909_img
[ Middie Blythe Stats ]
Size (height): About 20cm
Eye color: 1 color (eye direction is moveable from left to right)
Eyelids: Set (do not close or open)
Neck: Moveable to left and right
Arm: Moveable
Waist: Stable (does not twist)
Knee: Stable (does not bend)
100917_img
The eye movement reminds me of pullip who can also only look from side to side. To me the pictures of her almost make it seem like she would be a good companion of dal and byul rather than blythe.  The one real photo of her we have makes her neck look delightfully unhinged, something just disturbs me about her neck angle it just looks to unnatural. I am really anxious to find out more about Middie such as her price. I will probably get one in the future, I have a feeling the first one released in the line will be hard to get a hold of as so many people are going to try and get one to try them out so I will probably wait for a redhead or a  fantasy colored release before pouncing on one.

Blythedoll posted a slightly creepy video of the eye/neck movement. Middie does look promising, I am very excited about her.

Fairyland events are going to be the death of me (Pukifee Pong)

As I previously mentioned here, Fairyland had a summer event that ended on September 17th. As I had previously detailed I had originally planned on ordering Pong then maybe Luna. Luna had a temporary sales stop which made me realize I really did want her quite badly and made my plan shift gears. I was able to get Luna through Denverdoll, and was kind of left wondering whether or not I would be able to get Pong as well.

I actually did end up going back to Denverdoll, the day before the event ended to order Pong as well. The realist in me didn’t really want two dolls on layaway at the same time but they make such a cute pair how could I resist?
pkf-alice-rabbit01
I would have been so heartbroken to have only been able to get one but the other as they are such a perfect pair.
pkf-luna-alice03
Luna and Pong will be my 18th and 19th BJDs, I remember back in 1/2009 when I had just got my Littlefee Ante thinking that she would be one and only bjd love. I am going to try and make Luna and Pong my last two bjds of the year.
