It's a sleepy Jennifer?!! ...and other small dollses

I didn't notice, but apparently Soom came out with a sleepy Uyoo head called Romantic Uyoo. While I titled the post "Sleepy Jennifer," it doesn't really look like Jennifer at all... She is lovely, though, and I want her head, even though I have no use for it. She has an Anneka Elizabeth look to her... I'm E-mailing Soom now and asking if it's possible to get the Romantic head sold separately with faceup. It would be cheap too, $80.00, which is how much I paid for Velvette's head. [Actually, Velvette was one of those super limited edition Mbili Barbies that I bought for $100.00, and I ended up giving away most of the designer costume, tossing the body, taking down her hair and transplanting her onto a poorly painted CG body. She's one of my favorite and most beautiful dolls and absolutely worth what I paid.]

While I'm linking to things, I should note that Orient Doll has an affordable 1:6 toddler BJD at 4.65". At $109.00 excluding s/h, an unpainted So is about half the price of Jennifer! I have plans for a toddler in the future of Love Has Fangs, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to invest that type of money in a tertiary character. He'd have to be a central character for at least a season [or he'd have to have a recurring secondary role like Velvette the hot and expensive!] to justify that expense.

Jennifer meets other small BJDs in Burlington.

The usual band of geeks suspects took over the usual conference room at the Burlington Public Library this afternoon to swap doll parts, stories and photos. Jennifer started off grumpy because she was wearing the aforementioned frilly dress with cherries, but Ivy had a box o' free shit from where she found a much more pleasing outfit, modeled below. Other loot I nabbed: a fuzzy pink sweater, a knitted shawl and a troll with pink hair to confiscate for Jennifer...not to mention the 1:3 bottle of Beck beer, this last from Barb!

Jennifer hung out with Jamie's OrientDoll Tae, Quaid, who is 40 cm to her 27. He's very realistically proportioned, and I can't wait to see his female counterpart! She also posed with Breck's Souldoll Kimmy, Puck, who is shorter and slenderer than she is. I like the 1:6 Souldoll BJD bodies better than Soom's; Souldoll's features are meatier and more realistic.

An informal survey on the way back to the T revealed that I'm not the only one who feels completely wiped out after meets. Steph, Jamie, Sam and Meg said that they all wanted to go to sleep afterward, despite the fact that we always part ways before dinner. Steph put it best when she said, "It's like you've been mainlining fun for 4 hours. Then you go home and can't stand any more fun!" ( Read more... )

What makes you think I want one of these???

Here's a comparison of OrientDoll So pasted next to a line-up of [left to right] Dom, Anneka and Will. As you can see, So is perfect for a 1:6, well-articulated toddler to expand the Love Has Fangs cast. ( Read more... )
