Anna has been doing quite a bit of online shopping lately. It seems to be mostly due to recent holiday sales for household items and human clothing. Unfortunately, nothing doll related.
Or so I thought, until this arrived at our door. Anna purchased a pre-owned doll from the site, eBay.
Inside the box, we find our new friend lying unwrapped among package material. How alarming, is she alright?
She has a lovely face with a simple faceup. Anna says she is made by a company call Night Lolita or Yeloli (
). It seems to be a company that makes large vinyl dolls for an animated television series in China.
She came wearing a well worn, but lovely dress. It appears to be her original dress. Hopefully, Anna will be able to repair it.
She unfortunately has some staining from a dark colored wig. Hopefully, Anna will be able to fix that as well.
She has unusual joints. She isn't a ball jointed doll like myself. Anna said they are known as "hinge joints" or "mechanical joints". Truthfully, I find them a little unsightly compared to my own, but they seem to function quite well.
Our new doll also came with two wigs. There is this a somewhat messy braided blonde wig.
And, this long, equally messy black wig. I suspect that this is the cause of the dreadful staining.
There is some sort of ornament attach to the black wig.
The quality of these wigs is subpar compared to bjd wigs, but they may be useful to us.
Here they are after Anna treated them. After washing and detangling, she attempted what she calls a "boil wash". A technique she normally uses for Barbie dolls. There is some improvement, but they still need more work.
Anna mainly purchased this new doll to be a companion to Mirai because of their similar size. She is somewhat shorter though, approximately 56 cm tall while Mirai is 60 cm, within the range of an SD or 1/3 ball jointed doll.
This doll's head is noticeably larger than Mirai's.
And unfortunately, Anna's initial attempt to remove the ink stains has failed. It is fortunate that a good wig will hide them sufficiently.
But which wig indeed?
The blonde wig, though quite messy looking, looks lovely on our new doll.
It looks wonderful on Mirai as well, not that she needs another wig. Her regular wig is sized perfectly for her.
The black wig does look charming as well, however, this is the dreadful wig that left those horrid stains in the first place.
Again, it looks wonderful on Mirai. Just the same as Usagi, all wigs seem to look marvelous on her.
Because the new doll's head is larger than Mirai's, we are unable to let her try on Mirai's wig. Such a pity, I'm sure it would have looked gorgeous on her too.
But wait, there's one more wig? Where did this grey on come from?
I haven't the slightest idea where this wig came from, but it looks perfect on our new doll. And she seems smitten with it, so we have decided on this one.
"Your hair looks so pretty. I am so glad you are here, and I know we are going to be great friends."
"Thanks, and I agree."
By the way Mirai, where did you get that knit dress? I don't recognize it at all, and I am certain I would remember such a charming garment.
"Oh, Anna bought it for me. It came with our new friend's wig from Amazon."
What! When did she?! Why didn't she tell me? And why didn't she get one for me!?
Because I knew you would react like this.
As mentioned in this post, I bought a set of SD sized bjd clothes from Amazon specifically to get more shoes for Mirai. And it didn't come is MSD size, so of course I couldn't get some for you, Hikaru.
Well, if that's the case then the only solution is for Anna to starting making some seasonally appropriate clothing that
is in my size. Maybe, a soft knit sweater for this chilly weather perhaps?
Or better yet, the holiday dress she promised me. It was unfortunately delayed along with the Winter fashion show due to unforeseen events (
I got sick, twice!), but perhaps Anna can manage it in time for Christmas?
Only time will tell. Until then, be at peace my dear readers.
