Blog update 18th November 2013

Hi readers!

I'm happy to announce that my MNF Celine is coming home this weekend!!

*fingers crossed!*

I'm really happy, and today I thought about forgetting all about it and enjoy myself. Turns out that the moment you stop caring, things come!

It really isn't easy to find your perfect match. Honestly my opinion comes from me, I mean if you don't agree with it, it's fine with me too :) disclaimer said.

As a newbie, it took me a long time to make a decision to buying Celine. I've looked at Dream of Doll, LUTS, VOLKS, Azone, and IPLEHOUSE.

I had trouble choosing between LUTS Senior Delf Kara (Kara gave me that Megurine Luka feel, no idea why! maybe her outfit reminded me of Luka's Sandplay of Singing Dragon! LOL) over FairyLand's MNF Celine.

This is Senior Delf Kara:

My boyfriend was eyeing on MNF Ante though, she's got the baby face features which makes her so adorable. For me, I don't quite fancy these 'pissy looking faced' or 'somewhat serious' dolls, Ante's default faceup gave me that impression of a 'tsundere girl'. It might be the way how her faceup was done. Nonetheless, she's still a lovely girl :)

I don't know anyone that does commissioning for faceups, so I didn't want to take the risk of buying a doll without her faceup. Better safe than sorry eh?

I was looking for a doll who has that 'innocent', 'sweet' and 'shy' look.

That's when I came across Celine, and I fell in love with her! I love the way how FairyLand gave her the feel of 'sweet elegance' yet 'sexy'. For some reason, the way her face was sculpted impressed me beyond words, how could a doll look both sexy yet innocent at the same time? That's when you look at this.

It's hard to find MSD dolls that have that 'matured' edge to them just like an SD doll except they are younger.

$ Price $ wise, I couldn't do the VOLKS. VOLKS dollfies have more of that anime feeling compared to realistic looking. I enjoy both types, but I'd personally love the more realistic looking ones such as DoD (they were probably the ones I've been admiring since years ago =w=)

For me, I'm thankful that MSD is a perfect size for me. I don't think I could handle an SD girl :)

It all comes down to these very few things for someone who is looking for their first BJD:

• The sculpt
• The size (SD? MSD? YOSD?)
• Your budget (if any)
• Your heart ❤

and Remember! Don't buy a doll because it's a 'trending must-have'. Don't buy a doll so that you can look 'cool' at your peers and lastly, don't buy a doll when you can't take care of them!

oh and try not to buy a RECAST. you're not only paying for something that is not original, you are supporting an illegal act, you not only do harm to the original sculptor, you also feed the industry who's doing it!

if like-minded people are to continously support recasts, what will happen to the BJD industry? They will lose out to recast companies and will close down ! :( This is the worse possible outcome that will come out from it.

Give some respect to the sculptor, if you appreciate and ❤ their work, support them by buying their work!

Much love,

-Miwako- ❤
