Only-Doll Discussion Part 1

[Heiroglyphica]

No kidding! The Yanwen tracking for KeXin has her still in Beijing, but Kiwi's already here in town! I'm going home after my exam next class, but if they try to deliver her today I might miss her...

I really want KeXin, though! Even though Kiwi was the one on my list for so long, I've really gotten wrapped up in lovely little KeXin. XD I suppose I just have to be patient a little longer.

lol Doesn't help that the other KDF I want is Cherry! I always crave fruit when talking about them.

I keep desperately refreshing the tracking page (seriously, I've never heard of this Yanwen express before, but at least you can put the site in English!) hoping for her to move somewhere.

ETA: When I came home (early, since I felt all wonky still) I found a missed package slip in my mail. I shouldn't have, but I walked a few blocks and hunted the mail truck down and made him hand Kiwi over. As soon as the wife's home we're going to open her up! The box is so much smaller than my 70cms...

Edit again: Here's her box opening, if you're interested. X3

[Heiroglyphica]

OMGOMG!! The yanwen tracking number finally updated!! It looks like my KeXin's in Jamaica, New York. XD The expected delivery is April 2! I'm giddy~ <3 I'm going to leave like 50 "please leave my box" notes on the door, and if they still don't leave her... Well, I'll be walking to the post office before class! X3

[Mirabilis]

Yay, congrats on getting them both! That's really fast for Chinese airmail! And my tracking never updated after Remington left Shanghai XD
I can't wait for the box opening! Have you decided on a name?

[Heiroglyphica]

Thank you~ I'm really hoping they'll leave her for me Monday, cause I know I can't go all day Tuesday lugging her around without opening her! XD My normal Chinese tracking never updates, either. This is through Yanwen Express, which I've never heard of before. Which apparently is pretty speedy, and actually tracks! I'm very impressed, really.

I have! Her name is going to be Meilin. ^.^

[HoushiChan]

Heiroglyphica Congrats! You must be so excited~ The hardest part of the wait is once you know its shipped ;~;

[HoushiChan]

I finally found something that ALMOST fits 미동, so he'll wear it until he gets some real clothes. So I took a few photos (pretty much 4...)

[Evelien]

He is so beautiful!

[Heiroglyphica]

The mailman obediently left my KeXin today! I probably won't post the box opening tonight, since we've had a couple rough days, but overall I'm very pleased with her. I think she's beautiful!! And she looks great with the eyes I bought.

There are a couple of small details with her face-up I'd like to fix, but she's a very pretty girl really. And her eyeshadow is sort of a blue/pink/purple shift instead of one flat color. The overall quality of her fullset outfit is wonderful, really! There are a couple minor differences from what was pictured, and her wig may be a little difficult to brush due to all the details. The obi-like piece, though, is about a centimeter shorter than needed, though, so no matter how tight I squeeze it won't velcro completely, which is really only noticeable from the back.

I really think she's a sweetheart! I just might look around to see if when I send her parts off for a mani/pedi I can get the person to fix the small face-up issues. XD

Houshichan The waiting while they're on their way really is the hardest part! At least she shipped quickly... And MiDong's looking good! That wig looks to be suiting him more and more.

I'll try to post pictures soon, I promise!

[HoushiChan]

Evelien Sankyu very much ^^

Heiroglyphica Congrats on getting her! It's good to hear most of what you ordered was what you expected! I can't wait for the pictures~ hehehe
And yeah, I think he'll keep this wig. I'm still working on getting him black eyes though. So many purchases I could possibly make but not enough money to cover it all @__@ what kind of luxery hobby did I get myself into ;~:

[Heiroglyphica]

HoushiChan At least eyes are one of the less expensive things to buy! I've got some dark brown/nearly black eyes I'm not using, but I think they're 14mm... I can rummage through my eye organizer tonight and see. I can always test 'em in Meilin and take a pic.

I really do love her. Her mouth is so cute!! Her sculpt has tiny little teeth, though they didn't paint them. Yesterday just sucked so bad! It kinda killed some of my enjoyment, but I'm going to take her back out today and go pic-happy. Her outfit has so many ribbons on it it's crazy-love! <3

[Mirabilis]

Congrats on Meilin finally ariving, Heiroglyphica! I can't wait to see pictures of the box opening!

I really wanted to take some pics of Remi while the trees are blooming...alas, he hasn't arrived in China yet...and then there's the wait back...*sigh*
I definitely need to order some clothes as a shopping therapy xD

[HoushiChan]

I almost did a photostory today but just never got to it ;~; but I did take one picture today. I want to share it with you all :3

[Evelien]

Still a handsome boy! ^^

I was looking for a suitable head for my Angell-Studio body (I don't like Leira's big head anymore ) for hours, when I realized I fell for Only-Doll's Xuan Yan girl sculpt quite a while ago. And she's $38 on Mint on Card including shipping to the Netherlands!!! Isn't that insanely cheap?! I just pre-ordered a blank white skin Xuan Yan head . Hope I won't have to wait long for her, MoC is placing their next order with Only-Doll this Tuesday ^^

[HoushiChan]

Evelien I hope she comes in soon ^^

This thread has been a little slow as of late >.>

[Evelien]

I hope so too!! ^^

I'll be posting pics of my finished Wendy (RuoDie) soon

[Mirabilis]

Hey everyone, I'm back!!!

Remi's head arrived safely in China and he'll get shipped back the next weekend!!! Then comes the long shipping time...I keep hugging his body, wanting him to come back home

[HoushiChan]

Mirabilis good luck! hopefully you won't have to wait too long.

[Heiroglyphica]

I am sosososo sorry I've been so quiet! Between the semester coming to an end and other things, I've barely been touching the forum, or the internet in general. ;.; But I've only got a project due this week and my finals are next, so I have a tiny bit of time to breath! And hopefully that means I can finally get my KeXin's box opening pics resized and posted. The poor girl's been sitting relatively neglected these past weeks, so I want to tame her wig and get to loving her some more.

I also found the cutest miniature bench on eBay that's a wonderful scale for MSDs and smaller SDs, so I want to put it to good use.

I'm so happy your head finally arrived in China, Mirabilis! Such a long wait... I hope you get the perfect face-up this time!

[Midnight_Malice]

My Xuan Yan finally arrived yesterday!!! Here are some pics I took of her:






I love her, she's soooo pretty!!!!

[Evelien]

Congratulations and OMG, now that I'm seeing your pics I am soooo happy I got a XuanYan head too! She's cute and gorgeous at the same time!!

-edit- Hey, we must have the same taste in dolls, we both have an AE Blueberry ^^. Actually, I've got lots of pics of your Lilybelle saved to my laptop for looking at while I was waiting for mine XD. She's beautiful!
