Just a small note: The lighting went a little strange in the photos, especially when trying out the doll stand. Just one of the hazards of amateur bjd photography.
A few weeks ago, we receive an order from Alice’s Collections of many fine bjd clothes and accessories.
Among those accessories was the invisible doll stand. It was only briefly mentioned, so it is time to properly review it.
It came unassembled with no written instructions, though thankfully Anna managed to assemble it.
It consists of claw shaped gripping device attached to an extremely flexible neck, which screws into a translucent base.
There were these extra parts, for the life of me I can’t figure out their purpose, neither can Anna.
Anyway, I have tried out the stand and I find the grip to be most comfortable when properly fitted. Anna was worried that it might scratch me, however there is some sort of coating on the grip as a preventive.
Anna did have trouble adjusting the “neck”. It takes a bit of patience and strength to adjust it.
The end result is most satisfactory, I felt perfectly stable when Anna took this photo. And the base of the stand is hardly noticeable and could have easily been edited out, if Anna wasn’t so lazy about such matters.
When in use, the rest of the stand can be discreetly hidden behind me.
Anna says this stand can also be used to make dolls appear as if they are flying (MSDs and Yosds only). To test this we will need a volunteer.
“Oh, me! Me! I’ll do it. Can I please?!”
Oh, alright Sakura dear.
“Whee! Look I’m flying!”
And quickly a line forms behind her. What is this, a carnival ride?
Oh well, it’s time to get now Sakura, let someone else have a turn.
“Aw, man.”
Now it’s Yuna’s turn. She seems to be enjoying herself.
“…Oooh, so dizzy…”
Now for Usagi, I think she is enjoying it too much.
“Whee! :)”
“Shiro wants to try too!”
I’m afraid Shiro is too small for the doll stand.
“Yuki knows what to do, right?”
Problem solved.
Overall, I we have been very pleased with this doll stand despite a few quirks, and would greatly recommend it to others.
Now before I let you go, there is such alarming news to deliver.
Sometime after placing this particular order, Anna made a second one, for a new doll! She has discussed it with me somewhat. It will be another yosd sized or 1/6 scale ball jointed doll, from Kids Sky, the same company as Momoko.
What she failed to mention is that she has already received a shipping notice. And it is scheduled to arrived at any moment now! Why does she always wait until the last minute for these things. There are preparations to make for goodness sake!
Anyway, we will soon be able to introduce the newest doll in our family.
Until then, be at peace my dear readers.
Great post! Photos are nice too. Happy Summer, Kippi
