Tag~ Now, you're it! ;D

I saw this from Spica ages ago and finally did it (after like 5 months)... and I still want to do the one that she tagged me on too.

- What got you into the doll/figure/toy/*insert your hobby here* hobby?

For BJD, my mom stumbled upon BJD pictures while she was reading a cooking diary blog, and she showed it to me and I was instantly hooked! I actually never thought I would be able to own them due to the price, but I can be quite ambitious once I have my mind set on certain things. As I grew older, my love for BJD only increased... And when I found out my best friend was also into the hobby, there was no way I'm not getting at least one with her! 

I also collect nendoroids and one coin figures. From a very young age I was exposed to a lot of Japanese pop culture since it was a big thing when I used to live in Thailand, I grew up reading manga and watching anime shows. I remember my mom buying me those cheap knock-off figure key chains of Cardcaptor Sakura, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, and bunch of other anime shows. I guess the figure collecting hobby evolved and got stuck with me.

My first BJD, Little Monica Kliff, Mitsuki ❤

- Do you ever regret getting into the hobby or have you thought of quitting? Why/Why not?

Hmmm, not really (so far). I've always been an imaginative child and loved to create characters and stories about them. Being able to bring my OCs to "life" in BJD form is very dear to me. Plus, I get very sentimental and attached to things once I have them for a while.

- If you had to choose only one type of dolls/figures/toys/*insert things you collect here* to collect, what would you choose and why?

If I had to choose, it would be BJD hobby. I'm too invested (both money and emotion) on this hobby to let it go any time soon. Plus, I've always been the type that doesn't lose interest easily once I'm into it.

- If you could create any kind of game, what kind of a game would it be?

Hands down, role playing style! And visual novel can be a possibility~

- Tell us a little about one of your favorite fictive characters and why do you love them so much?

Hmmm, this is a hard question for me... Ummm Levi from SnK is what I can think of currently. I guess what I really like about him is his personality. He is very rough and harsh on the outside, but deep down he cares for others, and you gotta love his sassy streaks and potty mouth~ Plus, we share the same birthday and we're almost the same height... Levi is slightly taller than me by a little over 2 inches. And one of the biggest thing I love about him is that he's a clean freak! My family and friends also calls me a clean freak.... I'm constantly cleaning my room and spraying Lysol everywhere, hehe. And whenever I see a hand sanitizer, I have to use it even though my hands are "clean". I guess, I do have a bit of an OCD tendency, there are times when I wash my hands too much they starts to crack and bleed... though I've have gotten better now. 

- Do you draw? If yes, what is your favorite thing to draw? If not, when did you stop and why?

Yes, Yes, and YES~ I absolutely love drawing! My favorite thing to draw is people/ characters. Though my drawing style always changes back and forth. In addition to drawing, I also paint with acrylics. But whenever I paint it's mostly scenery/ flowers. 

I draw cute little chibis (Tetsuya x Shiki)~  (´∀｀)♡

 

And yes, I'm guilty of drawing naughty things too... >///< Lucien x Mitsuki (a little surprise for Orion+Cain)

A gift I painted for my "host" mom~

My friend requested a painting from me of the ocean for her birthday gift.

My personal favorite... Also for my "host" mom... I actually wanted to keep this... Lol!

Just like what Spica did, I'll make my own six questions for the people that I tagged~

- Introduce us one of your OC that you want to shell as a BJD or have as a BJD, and what are their likes and dislikes?

- Do you have a favorite sculpt? And what do you like about that sculpt?

- How many BJDs do you have or planned on having? What sculpt are they?

- Which is the most important to you for your doll: wig, clothes, eyes, face-up, or shoes? And why?

- Do your friends/ family know about your BJD hobby? Are they supportive of your BJD hobby?

- Do you have any other hobby?

Now, I would like to tag... (●´∀｀●)

Welcome home, Anri!

One of my demonic siblings trio is finally home! Anri stole Raine's spot of being my first YOSD. She arrived on October 5th, 2015 and she's my first full second-hand doll. Poor Raine is still stuck with Soom, but his/her status changed from being "Order Received" to "Before Shipping"! (๑>ᴗ<๑) So I can expect the eldest of the mischievous trio to be home soon.

I have Scarlet, Mitsuki, and Shiki here to welcome Anri home. ♡´･ᴗ･`♡ Scarlet is quite excited since it's one of their children coming home. Mitsuki is curious to see one of the newcomers that stole my fund for Lucien's body. And Shiki is just happy to have the tiny newcomer home since he is fond of children.

Here is a full body picture, because I want to show their outfits! Scarlet is wearing the Nine9style bootie boots I got from DoA marketplace. I was surprised that they were able to wear those boots with their standard feet since the heel feet have not arrive yet. 

Here is Mitsuki with his new eyes, Mako AM-15 in 14mm, and a cozy winter shirt and scarf from Rrabit and pants from Nine9style. I'm loving how he looks with the 14mm. 

Here is Scarlet rocking their Princess Doll outfit and their new eyes! I was worried that they might not fit in the clothes, but looks like I was worried for nothing. They have on a Crobidoll CRWL-117 in cherry blossoms this time, and I still have to try on their character "real/default" wig, a Crobidoll CRWL-83 in light black on them. 

And here is Shiki looking dashing with with those suspenders and tie. Since Mitsuki has 14mm now, Shiki gets his old 16mm which I liked way better than his 18mm (it looks too big for my liking) until his new eyes arrive (I actually like him with a 14mm too, but it left too much noticeable gaps)... Anyway, the eyes I got him is an Enchanted Doll Eyes, the Milky series #62, I bought it through the Enchanted Doll Eyes Etsy site. I actually forgot and missed the group pre-orders period, but a few days later I saw that they were having an in-stock flash sale and they had the eyes I wanted in 16mm... Lucky me, I don't have to wait like 6 weeks for Shiki's eyes.

Anyway, please enjoy the photo story~ (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

~*~*~*~*~ Extras ~*~*~*~*~

 These are some of the extra pictures that I didn't use for the photo story~

She is so tiny!!! I didn't expect her to be this small, she's so cute!

Drop Dead Gorgeous!

Day Dream Lance ver. 2 has always been my ultimate grail doll since it came out in 2011. So back in late March of this year, I found my ultimate grail head for sale and the seller offered layaway plan. Instantly, I contacted the seller and bought the head on layaway. I didn't like the face up she had on Lance, but lucky for me the seller happened to be a friends of Angel Toast Aesthetics, so she offered to hand my Lance off to her once I'm done with my payments. I finished my payments early and was able to get a face-up slot in May. I've always wanted to make an incubus/ succubus demon character, so I decided to make DD Lance into it. I'm not too sure about the name, but I've been calling the character "Scarlet" for now. Scarlet does not have a specific gender, since she/he can turn into male/female at will. Scarlet is the type of character that makes people miss their last train home cause they were too busy staring at her/him. As far as the bodies goes, when Scarlet becomes a male, she/he is going to be using Shiki's body. And since I don't have a female doll that I can steal a body from, I joined a big Luts GO on DOA (items were ordered on June 2nd, so I won't get the body till next month or so) and picked up a Female Senior Delf Body Type 3 for Scarlet. It's a busty, big hip, small waist—beautiful body.... It reminds me of a Dollfie Dream body. I think this body will fit in with Scarlet's personality very well. I also got a pair of heel feet and a neck piece for her/him. I'm hopeful that resin match will be okay, I tried researching on it and found mixed reviews about this topic, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Moving on, today I got an email from Angel Toast Aesthetics, notifying me that Scarlet face up/ fangs mod is finished. I'm very impressed with the work she put in, it is very beautiful. She followed my every picky details I've requested in the form. (●♡∀♡)

I can't wait to see Scarlet in real person! Thanks for reading, till next time~ (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) ♫･*:.｡. .｡.:*･

Nitro+Chiral Goodies~

I got addicted to collecting these cute little one coin figures by Kotobukiya when I went to my first convention years ago. These little swirly-eyed cuties are based on illustrations from Yuupon, featuring characters from Nitro+ Chiral games (Togainu no Chi, Lamento: Beyond the Void, and Sweet Pool).

These are my old collection of one coin figures.

While surfing in Tumblr a year ago, I came across a girl selling her Nitro+Chiral no Mori figure. I contacted her immediately and purchased Akira and Shui.

Boyfriend Shirt Akira is definitely my favorite one-coin figure! Look at his cute little booty and this version has his little naughty parts in the front too. The original owner lost his extra arms, but I'll try to make them with polymer clay or something.

Two weeks after I bought Akira and Shui, I found Shiki Chiral no Mori version on eBay. I won him on a bid for very cheap, although he doesn't come with his character card. I also have Nano Gakuen version, but I can't find where I saved his picture.

And my new additions that I recently bought from eBay.

My next targets are Shironuma Tetsuo (Sweet Pool) and Yukihito (Togainu no Chi)  from Chiral no Mori version.
