And then there were 17!

For my combined birthday/Christmas present, my partner bought me a 62cm female Mirodoll body in Normal yellow skin, and it arrived yesterday. So Galhaia, my CP Juri 2005 girl, got upgraded to a taller resin body that matched her resin better than the Obitsu 60 body she's been on for nearly ten years - over that time, her resin has yellowed more than the vinyl body had so it was no longer a good match for her. It's a perfect match for Seraphina, my modded CP Sleeping Soony girl however - so Seraphina got a body and Galhaia got an upgrade! Add to that little Autumn, the tiny 14cm tall ABS Hujoo girl I got back in November, and that brings my tally now to 17 complete dolls and no floating heads!

First, Galhaia on her new body, looking quite regal:

And finally introducing tiny little Autumn (Hujoo Suve)!

The tribe is getting very large and I'm running out of room on top of the piano for them all! But at least Seraphina and Christine (CP Lishe) are no longer having to share the same body any longer. :-)

And here's a shot of the whole line-up - all 17 dolls as of January 2015:

No Shiwoos were harmed in the making of this photoshoot. ;-)

Lazy Sunday

Marius seemed to be rather reluctant to leave the comfort of his bed this morning!










He wasn't the only one, it seems; Perseus always sappears to be startled by the morning:


And Myrddin is always such a deep sleeper, it can be hard to tell if he's dreaming or dead:


But both Perseus and Myrddin enjoy a sleepy cuddle in bed on a lazy Sunday morning.

Dolls stolen in L.A.

These dolls were stolen from a fellow collector late at night from a car in L.A. The thief took a random load of stuff from the car, including dirty laundry and a packet of trail mix. They almost certainly had no idea of the value of these dolls. They may show up on eBay simply as "big dolls".

Perseus as Morpheus?















I'm thinking I now need to get a pair of black marbles for eyes and try this look on Marius - he would make a great Morpheus. :-)

Fatherhood

Marius recently discovered he was a father; and newfound fatherhood appears to agree with him!

Galhaia in the Garden

I took advantage of dry weather outside to get photos of Galhaia with her new face-up today; I also decided to try her head on Nimue's Obitsu body, as I'm not too happy with the lack of posability of the Dollfie Dream body. I find I actually prefer Galhaia on the Obitsu body, so I suspect the swap may be a permanent arrangement until I can afford a resin body!
