Indeed I am "Meiji".
I am "amalinaball" when I play the Sims 2, and I like to keep different names sometimes. Hehehehehe…I have no idea why, but now I feel like a secret agent! 😉
Yes, that's Chi. I don't like the custom face-up, but the one I got is much nicer. I can't wait to snap my own pictures of him!
And, oh dear oh dear, I seem to be taking up a lot of your comment space. I shall cease now, until the next post! I hope you don't mind. 🙂

Kara said: I don't mind you commenting at all! As I've said before, I love talking about BJDs and, unfortunately, my husband does not so it's nice to talk to other people with the same interests (and my husband is happy because then I don't have to talk about them with him). heehee

I keep forgetting to mention what doll he is, hahahaha. ;) He's actually not a very expensive doll comparatively, because I think that getting into the hobby at the higher end of the money-scale could prove dangerous for someone as thrifty as me. Plus I don't know if a big doll would fit in our house; the building is late Victorian and just not big enough. So I have got an Angel of Dream doll, about 43cm. He cost (with eyes, face-up and wig)...well, let's see...without shipping costs, about £100. Which is pretty good - plus free clothes, following the special Christmas event. I love how fairylike the mould is (it's the Chi mould)! But even more exciting news - my parents let me have a look at him early, just for a few minutes to ensure he was the right one. And, oh my gosh, he was. I expected his resin to be a little cheap in comparison to my cousin's dolls, but it wasn't. It's pure white and really beautiful. We asked for a slightly less pink face-up than in the pictures, and that's what we got. He even has undies! But then he went away again, but I don't mind as much. I know he's there, and he's the right one, and I really like him a lot already - so I'm happy! :) You read about all sorts of nasty mishaps from AOD, but he was lying serenely in his pillow, not a scratch on him. And I'm so relieved - only 2 weeks to go! I know I can make it!

Kara said: Is it this little Chi vampire boy that you got (second doll down)? He's so precious! Although I've heard heard the horror stories you mentioned about their arrival, I've also hear that AoD's quality is nice so I'm glad to have that confirmed. They make some really cute/good-looking dolls. And that's awesome that you got a free set of clothes with him—now he won't freeze. ;) Congrats to you and Merry Christmas! P.S. Are you "Meiji" on DoA? I stumbled upon the Angel of Dream official thread this morning and saw feedback left by a girl who had a remarkably similar story to yours, so I'm assuming it's you. ;) (Love the Sims 2 avatar, by the way.) Oh, and I'm "AtomicSpaceKitty" on DoA just in case you see me around.

Oooh, that sounds expensive…
Eeeek, Jason is so lovely and I'm sure if you could get a doll to represent him it would be brilliant. But sometimes, it might be better to work out which characters are most important to you and get BJDs of them.
But I'm sure you'll find a solution somehow, Kara – the answer will probably pop into your head when you're least expecting it!

Spinel is beautiful, but maybe you're right about him. His face is gorgeous, but in a kind of a different way than Jason's.

The tan Mano – wow, also quite a lovely doll. But again, he doesn't seem to fit what I envisage Jason (as a humble reader ;)) to look like. He looks a little too pouty to me – kind of man-child, where Jason is so clearly a grown man. Hehehehe…

And I know what you mean about Minimees…*shudder*…scary. My cousin has one of Ozzy Osbourne and it really freaks me out. He has to shut it in the cupboard when I visit because it gives me the creeps. But he adores it. I suppose it's all whether or not you like things more on the realistic side or not.

I think I see your dilemma…

Oh, and because I can't resist – my boy is finally here! But I won't see him until Christmas Day…bah…
He's sitting on my parent's bed, probably all curled up and claustraphobic in his box. Poo! I want him so badly, it's hard waiting.

Kara said: Gah, I know. Sooo expensive. Plus, the more I think about it, I think I want them to look like dolls rather than too real. Although, it's funny, sometimes it seems that the dolls that look more like, well, dolls have more of a spark to them then dolls that physically look more realistic. I hope you know what I mean, I don't know if I'm explaining myself very well. ^_^;

Eeee! And I'm so excited for you! At least you know your boy made it in time for Christmas even if you can't have him in your arms until then. Seriously, you must take pictures when you get him. I want to see him! 😉 heehee Which doll did you decide to get?
