I've only really gotten into dolls recently, although I've wanted to have a BJD (ball jointed doll) For over a decade now. I didn't play with any growing up because my trans ass rejected anything "feminine", but I'm really glad I got over that! They are a treasure♡
Akim was my first ever doll! I absolutely adore him:) He's a scarab bug boy and a future lawyer^_^ He's from the Kukaka insect cafe series of blind boxes. I really like the lil blind box dolls, but I don't agree with the method, so I buy all of mine in confirmed styles.
I really like him, he poses pretty well, except that his big head makes him topple over sometimes (>_<;)
I've known I want a second bug to keep him company as soon as I got Akim, but since I prefer boys, I was going to wait for the second series before buying any more. Sadly, it seems like the second series will never come, and with the original series already being resold for way more than it's worth, I decided to get the Judge recolor of Akim while I could. He- I named him Gale- is adorable! There are problems, of course, like his calves being badly stained from a year in dark blue legwarmers, and having to remove his legs from knees down to get his pants on and off, but I love him nonetheless. I'll be making him more clothes myself anyway, but for the time being, he's wearing Akim's hand-me-downs. Including his old eyes, because they are bugfriends (bug boyfriends) and it felt a little weird for them to both have orange eyes(>_<)Purple suits him tho!
Although I ordered (and recieved) him before Akim, I count him as my second doll, for the sole reason that it took me months to actually finish him. I got him body only (UfDoll DoReMi body) and had to make the clothes/head/wig/eyes myself. Head is a 3d print based of the polaris model that I modified. He's my beloved little Wanderer- I absolutely adore him, but I've stopped playing genshin and so, I needed a doll of him. I actually love having him, and I'm about to receive my second, bigger doll to customisse into him!
He's the best poser in my whole group as of now and most handsome too :P easily stands on one leg, even when wearing shoes!
My two girls! I've wanted a gyaru girl ever since I saw I'd get a free extra body while I was ordering one for Kuni xD Really though, I got Cassie that way. I got Miku later, when I needed a new head for Arty (he's righht below this!). I decided to get him an UfDoll DoReMi head, which lead to yet another free body, and so, Miku was born. Once again, we have 3d printed, cuustomised heads. I've also made all the other things on them, with the exception of Cassie's top and skirt.
Cassie actually came to me in paper white color, and since I wanted her to be a gyaru, I dyed her whole body. She was supposed to be the typical, blonde-curls asian gyaru, but I went a bit too dark to be personally comfortable with it being "just a tan". As such, she's become a beautiful black girl, and I've tried to keep that and show it when I was making her wig. I think it came out good, with the wool strands looking like smaller braids.
Arty my beloved!!♡♡♡
Besides Kuni, he is the one I put the most work into. What started as a regretted purchase, ended up being a doll I absolutely adore and who is, in a way, a representation of myself. Not in the way he looks, although some of his spots are in the same places as I have them, but in the "cute sheep boy" way, being inspired by the breed of sheep that is my kintype, and being a (sheep) satyr to mirror me being a follower of Dionysus. He is also trans >:)
Arty started out as a Penny's box "cute beast" sheep girl. It was love at first sight, and as I hate impulse purchases, I waited around a month before getting her. Sadly, it wasn't enough, and my feelings about her changed as soon as I opened her box. I was ruminating on what to do with her for weeks, keeping her close to me, playing with her and taking pictures, but nothing helped- I still didn't want her, at all, and seeing her all the time just made me feel guilty for purchasing her. I was debating on selling her, until my boyfriend (he is amazing) got me to find out exactly what was bothering me- and, finding out is wasn't really that much (mostly just the head and her being a sickly white color), said I should try customising her. I ended up buying a UfDoll DoReMi doll with a head I liked (the body of which became Miku) and dyeing, painting and re-dressing her. That was the moment he transitioned from "unnamed sheep girl" to Arty, my beloved satyr boy♡
My baby! He's from UfDoll drink+ series, and I adore him♡ My most beloved, I love how big he is and how easy to pose and take pictures. I don't know yet if it's just my infatuation talking or not, but I feel like I'm very much done with the lil blind box dolls. He's changed me, and while I still love my 1/12 babies, I think I'd rather stick with less, but bigger dolls in the future. Actually, besides the two coming later this year, I'm quite satisfied with any dolls for a while. We'll see if that's just my current infatuation talking or not, but really, I adore him. He was supposed to be an AU version of genshin's Scaramouche, but 1. I'm not so sure of that now and 2. even if he is, he still needs a proper, new name. I'll have to think about it still.
I also love furbies! I have two- a 2012 phoenix furby named Frupi and a 1998 champagne furby named Jace Furbelen:) I'm very happy with them and don't plan on getting any more, with the exception of maybe making more plushie ones myself.
Frupi is a cute, lovable and fun-loving furby with soft, pettable fur. He loves to talk and play, so much, that he won't even sleep with his eyes fully closed!. He also likes to chomp on crunchy fall leaves:)
Jace is a stinky, always-sick furby that I absolutely adore. He likes staring into the distance and looking smart. He works well, but I still haven't been able to make him not sick (even with a hard reset) and if he works for a while, he starts being stinky. The reason for it is that his previous home was being smoked in, and the stink got into his wiring. I skinned him and washed the fur, but the screws holding him together won't budge, making it so I can't reach inside to clean him fully. As such, he stays stinky (─ ‿ ─)
I do have a pair of eyes I made for him to replace the current ones, but I kinda like his current look. I'd love to make him a lil hooded cape tho!
I've wanted a tamagotchi ever since I was a kid, but I was only able to get one recently! I found out that you can still get them when I saw the upcoming tamagotchi paradise on tumblr, and fell back into the rabbit hole:P I decided to start with a gen 2 remake, since it's the cheapest, but would love to get a Pix and Paradise someday! But as a responsible adult that I am, I made myself a deal to only get another one if I keep playing with this one for at least a month.
My first ever tamagotchi! I like it a lot so far, but I'm only on my second day of taking care for the lil creature. Here's to many more days!
