I never fathomed impulse BJD purchases, primarily because of the large sums involved. Now, after having successfully bid a disgusting amount for an eyeless SD 16 Yukinojo Sawaragi head on Yahoo Japan, I still don’t fathom them. Nope, sorry…no pictures. I forgot to pull them before the auction ended. If anyone can help me there, I’d be grateful. Exultation and musing over BJD likenesses follows. <\/p>\n
I can’t quite believe I am getting the best headsculpt ever for la poupee de Frank [which I told myself I wasn’t getting]. Well, cross your fingers for me and hope that the payment and shipment actually goes through, and that I get this piece of resin which has the most inversely proportionate relationship between size and cost of any toy that I’ve ever purchased.<\/p>\n
YIPPEE YIPPEE FRANK FRANK FRANK FRANK!<\/p>\n
I’m having much more success in the BJD world than in the 1:6 world when it comes to finding likenesses for my characters. I think it’s a simple matter of volume. With the exponential explosion of BJD popularity, there are probably 100+ companies and perhaps more than 1,000 headsculpts available [all sizes]. Compare the range of BJD options to the range of 1:6 options: 15-20 companies with maybe 25-35 available headsculpts. The sheer numbers of BJD options permit you a much better chance of finding a doll that closely resembles your character of choice.<\/p>\n
Hmmmm, maybe I’ll actually have this head by the next doll meet in Burlington [February 11th] so I can actually bring something resin this time!<\/i> [Lilith, a plastic 1:6er, came to Burlington meet #1, while Brandeis, a plastic mixed-scale, accompanied me to my second doll meet, which was in Uno’s in Harvard Square.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
