I'm sure if you really love the doll, you'll get used to it ^u^ My friend doesn't like SDs at all but when I showed her Doll Leaves' Evan, she was all 'Omg, I don't care that he's SD, I want him!' x'D Just give it some time~ It took me quite a while to get used to my SD10

(it also took me a change of wig and eyes xD )
As for the Imdas, yes, that's sad /: But I think they come out with new ones every once in a while, otherwise you could always hunt for one after you get access to the Markeplace

My favourite would be either Minoru World or Resin Angel Egg though~ xD I really wanted to snatch one, but the price wouldn't allow me to *smacked* Minoru World has pretty nice prices though~
