Samurai Warrior

For Christmas, my talented and awesome sister made me a number of necklaces for my guys. How cool is that?! Over the next few weeks, I'll show them to you (I want to savor the goodness).
Mad Hatter
February 7th, 2008
As with Dominik in the previous post, Ethyn wore this outfit for two months before I finally got around to taking pictures of him. However, the wig and the hat were last minute additions–both are crazy and very fun to play with. Anyway, I think Ethyn's definitely channelling a Mad Hatter-vibe here.
Vampire Prince
February 3rd, 2008
It's time for some pictures of Dominik again especially since he's been sitting around in this outfit since the beginning of December waiting for me to get around to taking them. Poor guy…well, at least he's the patient type. Plus, I can't say that seeing his chest on display these past couple months has been a real hardship. 😉
Laid Bare

Warning/Bonus: naked doll
Well, it's come time to introduce Tahlvin Shadowtalon, the elf mercenary. He is still without his face-up or other customizations, but I just couldn't help taking (many, many) pictures of him. There's something beautiful and haunting about dolls that are bare. And by "bare" I not only mean unclothed but sans paint.
The Search for Jason
December 10th, 2007
Someday, I'd also love to have a BJD that could represent Jason. He's a hard one to find a doll for though. Firstly, I don't know of any molds that would really fit his character. Secondly, he'd have to be about 68-70cm so that he'd be in the same size range as Brandee and Tahlvin and that really narrows down the field of possible dolls.
There's one doll that has caught my eye. He's Spinel, a new BJD done as a joint project between Soom & Elfdoll. The face-up would have to be different, of course. The current one is wonderful, but looks a little too "good" for Jason. I love Spinel's profile, chin, jaw and lips though. The only problem with him is he's only 65cm tall. That's 3cm shorter than Brandee. Damn! He has a nice looking body too (great abs!). I wonder if his head would fit on (and match in resin tone) a Hound/Dollshe body (like Ethyn's) or a Unidoll Jace body (like Dominik's)?
Spinel has also been released as a basic edition at Soom, and oddly, looks a bit like Prince in the sales pictures. Kind of weird. Prince is cute, but… On further reflection, although I like the mold (but not as Prince), I don't think this one will work as Jason. He just doesn't have that certain spark that Jason has.
And then there's also the tan Mano to consider (I mentioned him in my previous post). Here are some additional pictures of the new tanned Mano:
