Posts: 3,177Hi All, just popping in to tell you that i have bought a Volks SD10 ball joint doll. :dance:

Penny 
Pandy Potter BearsYou have got to treat yourself now and again! Now stop looking on here and get back to work! :hug:
PijangibearsHi Penny
Congratulations with your buy. :clap:
How much did you pay for it?
Didn't you choose the wig yourself. I thought, you put your doll together yourself, before you buy.
Hugs Birgitte :hug:

I bought this doll 'as is' Birgitte so she was a bargain! 
Can't tell you how much i paid - hubby might read this :redface:
Penny :hug:
PijangibearsHi Penny
Oh boy, that much.
You could tell me in a PM. 
Hugs Birgitte
Acid Attic BearsCan't tell you how much i paid - hubby might read this icon_redface
Congrats, Penny !
Your doll has so much potential ! She is the same as this one, isn't she ? 
Please post more pictures of her when you have new wigs and eyes and all !
Congrats again, and lots of hugs,
Marion
PS : maybe in pm you could tell how much you bought her ? 
Posts: 3,177Yes Marion she is the same model as the pics you posted - her name is Megu. She has so much potential for changing her look - i can't wait to play around with her clothes and hair. I may even buy more heads and change them around - freaky! ha ha ha
Penny :hug:
Kim-Bee BearsSo are they like a barbie then?? I think I am a bit lost LOL 
I love her pink hair though... oh, if she isnt too much, maybe I will have to purchase!
Acid Attic BearsI think I would like a Kaede but she is small and as expensive as the big ones

But this one is muuuch cheaper... But I don't even know if it's a girl... Or if she is 60 cm or 40 cm...

Mm... Are you there, Marie darling ? :D
I do not find this cutie either :
Do you have an idea, Penny, after all your research for your Megu ? :)
Congrats again dear Pen Pen :).
Posts: 3,177I think this one is a boy Marion and i wuold guess he would be 40cm, but i could be wrong.
38,000 Yen is soooo cheap for this is'nt it? But you have to do the face paint yourself and then assemble it so this is probably why.
What a pity that the seller does not sell internationally - i would flex the credit card a little more for this little doll ha ha ha
PenPen :hug:
APOLOGIES to all you girls, i know that this is'nt bear related - we will PM each other now as i'm sure you are getting bored with the BJD's now.
Acid Attic BearsOh yes, sorry girls !!! :redface: :redface:
We will be nice and keep it private by now, I promess ;).
Hugs all ! 
:hug: :hug:
Marion
Hooray Penny!! :dance: :dance: THese dolls are so cool! I'm sure you'll have a blast 'playing with her! Don't forget to show us a pic when you're done with her make over!!
:hug:
Tracy
Jane Perala Designs Ltd.She is just beautiful! I love her pink hair - feminine and off beat all at the same time. Personally, I wouldn't change it unless you can also change her eye colour. I think she looks great.
I hope I don't get addicted - I have managed to control myself with bears for a few years now, as I need the income for my dogs and horse, ie. feed and vet. The last thing I need is to get hooked on dolls. However I won't be able to resist looking for them! Oh well.
Jane P.
Posts: 3,177I will let you all see her after i have dressed her in some new clothes a new wig etc - maybe new head? Poor thing!
They are addictive Jane so beware!
Kim they are'nt really anything like Barbie as they have a horrendous price tag - think in hundreds or thousands of dollars Kimmy. A lot depands on what you want to spend and how you want them to look, but they do hold their price very very well so they could be looked on as an investment - but personally i just want to play dress up with them!
Penny :hug:
Posts: 3,177I know i said i would'nt post on this again as it is doll related but i have just got to tell you that i bought another BJD!!!!
If anyone could please come and lock me in a cupboard for the next 6 months i would appreciate it as by then the credit card will be paid off and i will have lost a tremandous amount of weight by only eating bread and water as penance for my Dollfie sins
:redface: :doh: 
Penny 
Kim-Bee BearsLOL Penpen - you crack me up so bad!
Posts: 1,153Penny, she is beautiful...I love her, really just like she is. I guess I didn't know you re-made dolls too...can we see some?
Bears and dolls are definite companions!! I am sure we all have dolls along with our teddies....actually I only have bought teddies but some artist dolls and right now I am into Helen Kish's dolls (I obviously don't have your wallet)...opps, hope hubby isn't watching.
I had to laugh Pen at not letting hubby know what the doll cost...I have a real passion for Nantucket Baskets...a friend of mine went to Nantucket and picked one up for me (purse).
It has my name on the inside in scrimshaw and a scrimshaw scene on the outside top...a lady asked me how much I paid for it, right in front of my husband...I chocked and am sure I turned every shade of red in the spectrum. I have a real problem with telling an untruth but I am telling you :pray: ....50 bucks just shot out of me as slick as you please!!! hahahaha... YEH,SURE!!!
The nice thing is our hubbies would never believe that we ever paid what we did for dolls and baskets. They don't see the 'value' there...hahahaha!
Enjoy your doll PenPen, we all deserve a little over indulgence now and then.
nanc.......
Posts: 3,177Ha Ha Ha Nance - join the Deceitful Wives Club here..............good thing that the old Pinocchio nose growing is'nt for real huh?
This is a pic of my new BJD - she's freaky and full of attitude and a OOAK full body paint from Custom House.............and i got another bargain!
I am gonna make this dollfie some wicked clothes - lots of vintage silks and gothic structuring - i have'nt made clothing for soooo long she will probably stay naked for ages until i get my skills up to standard again
Kim-Bee Bears
She looks like the doll from the Chucky movies (the one that Jennifer Tilly "plays")
Acid Attic BearsI'm glad you bought her, Pen Pen darling ! I think my fiancé would have found her so freaky that he would have thrown her away (men... :p).
I think I finally will buy a classic Megu from the Volks shop some day (mm... hope she will still be in stock when I will be pregnant ) (in fact, I've kinda chosen one in order to stop looking at all models available from all brands all the time ).
Ooops... I had promessed... :redface: :redface:
Hugs :P.
Posts: 3,177Ohhhhhh....I remember that one!! I looked at her and thought she was so unique!!
Lucky, naughty girl
I know Gina. I should'nt have done it but Hey! what else is there in life apart from having fun - and i'm gonna be paying for this little bit of fun for a wee while yet
She looks like the doll from the Chucky movies (the one that Jennifer Tilly "plays")
Yeah she does a bit Kimmy - i hope she don't try to chop my head off when i'm sleeping or anything similar - i may have to lock her up!
I'm glad you bought her, Pen Pen darling !
Yeah i know i said i would'nt buy her Marion but when you said you were not going to buy her i could not let her go and have her face removed like the other bidder said she was going to do could i?

oh, I hope I didnt just freak you out! you will be sleeping with one eye open
Acid Attic BearsI could not let her go and have her face removed like the other bidder said she was going to do could i?
Pen Pen, you sweet hero ! You have saved this poor dolly from being killed away and replaced by another one !
Without joking, for sure it would have been sad that the professional work on her face (and body !) had been removed !
These dolls are amazing!! I understand the magnetism to them. They're beautifully unique.
Warmest bear hugs, :hug:

Posts: 3,177My Megu arrived today girls, and i can't believe how heavy she is.
I sort of expected bjd's to be just big dolls you know, nice dolls but just dolls all the same - but they are really beautifully finished and smooth and beautifully painted and they pose in every position you could want (and some you would'nt ha ha).
:crackup:
They come in nice boxes with their own pillows and blankets and a little dollfie badge for me to wear - if i ever get to the stage in my life when i start wearing badges that is.
I highly recommend these dollfies girls - they are just so lifelike, they are anatomically correct too so i am gonna HAVE to get some knickers made - pronto!
Penny :hug:
She is still in her box for now as i simply have'nt got time to play around with her wig and stuff at the moment but i can't wait to get cracking on some clothes for her.
