Bjd Unboxing: Alice's Collections Accessories Haul

Over the Summer, Anna decided to do a thorough cleaning of our living quarters, donating and discarding many unnecessary items in her closet and drawers. She naturally turned her attention to my own possessions and that of the other dolls.

She discovered that many of our shoes were damaged possibly beyond repair and there were a few other things needed. So, she placed an order at my favorite online shop, Alice's Collections.

And after much waiting, it has arrived.

It took such a long time to arrive, and as usual, even longer to share with my fine readers. So, let's not delay any further.

As usual for Alice's Collections, all items are well packed to arrive safely.

There is a modest assortment of shoes, bjd wigs, and eyes.

Plus, the expected and most appreciative free gift of eye putty.

It will definitely be required with the abundance of eyes Anna purchased.

This is the "special eyebag", a random bundle of eyes sold at a discount. Anna does love surprises.

We were fortunate to receive a pair that Anna had intended to buy eventually. What luck.

However, these are the eyes Anna specifically chose this time. They are ESH00816mm eyes in a most unusual yet attractive shade of pink.

In addition to eyes, Anna chose a package of doll eyelashes in black.

Oh, I do hope this means she will finally get around to giving me a proper face up (see Doll Owner's Corner: The Face Up). Afterall, I have been waiting such a long time.

Anyway, my beloved shoes had broken down, and I was terribly in need of a replacement. This lovely pair will do nicely.

These shoes have very secure crossing buckled straps with a delicate ruffle peeking from beneath the simple bow.

Anna particularly enjoys the flower imprints on the sturdy souls.

They fit my dainty feet quite well. I do hope to get as much use out of them as my old pair.

Anna purchased these gorgeous boots for Misako. Her shoes were damaged as well. Also, Anna felt they were a tad too large for her, and I quite agree. She needs properly fitting footwear.

They are a lovely white but also available in pink, red, black, and beige. They have adorable scalloped edging across the shoe and long the cuffs.

And just like my own fine shoes, these boots have the same floral souls that Anna adores.

They fit Misako somewhat better than her old shoes, though her feet are quite small leaving quite a bit of "wiggle room" as Anna phrased it.

Anna says she is quite pleased with them, though I find it difficult to tell. After all this time, she still hasn't uttered a single word to me. Sigh.

Now for the wigs. This first one is a coffee brown wig sized for a yosd or 1/6 sized doll.

It was purchased for Makoto who felt he needed a new style. His old wig has a large amount of volume at the top that caused him some discomfort.

Anna specifically allowed him to choose any wig he desired.

Seeing it on him, I must say he chose exceptionally well.

It looks most becoming on him. With a little trim here and there, it will be absolutely perfect.

Anna did mention that the main reason he chose this particular wig is because it's the same style as Yuki's, just in a different color and size. Somehow this does not surprise me.

What matters most is he loves it.

"Big sister Momoko, how does my hair look? Cool, right?"

"Oh, hello there. It is a pleasure to meet you, what is your name?"

"Ha, ha. Very funny."

"Yuna, what do you think of my new hair? (please like it...)"

"Umm...I think it's cute. It look nice on you."

"Yes!"

"Oh, Brother dear, she can still hear you."

The next wig is this curly pink one purchased for Usagi. Anna thought the color and style would be perfect and a nice change.

It is a lovely wig, just with overly long bangs. Looks like a haircut is in order for the near future.

Overlooking the awkward bangs, the hair is remarkably soft and silky and formed in beautiful curls.

It comes tied in an adorably sweet style that suits Usagi's innocent nature.

Yes, with a bit of trimming and brushing, it will look wonderful.

Anna has chosen to keep Usagi's old wig for the time being. Afterall, one can never have too many wigs, they add extra options for making a fashion statement.

"Yuki, do you want to try on my wig? I think it will look so cute on you too. :)"

"...I'm good...I think it looks really cute on you anyway."

"What did you say? :)"

"Nothing!"

Speaking of having extra wigs. Anna purchased these two wigs as well.

This first one Anna picked purely because she adored it, and I can see why. This wig is a lovely golden brown color and in such a sweet and classic style.

Here is how it looks on Usagi, Anna thinks it is such fun to let Usagi model wigs, and I agree.

It looks so darling on Usagi, I almost wish she would choose this one over her pink one.

The next wig is a similar color, but longer with different styled bangs.

I'm afraid the bangs look rather odd, not quite what was advertised.

That being said, it is still a lovely wig. It feels so incredibly soft and smooth to the touch. 

With a bit of styling to the bangs it will be perfect. However, Anna says she will wait a little longer to restyle because she has a specific use for this wig.

"Hey Hikaru, if Anna planned to buy that pretty long wig and those pretty eyes, does that mean she is buying another doll? It would be fun to have another friend. :)"

Come to think of it...Could she have? Did she?!

That's right, I bought another doll! I actually ordered it the same day as these accessories, I just placed it as a separate order because I knew it would take longer to make. I didn't want to delay them too much. 

!!!

Well, this has been a surprisingly day.

But, I won't dwell on it too long, there is much to do to prepare for the new arrival. Like getting Usagi a haircut, I won't have her looking so unkempt when our new doll arrives. And come to think of it, Makoto could use a trim too. Hmm.

We shall see how that goes, be at peace my dear readers.

What is Misako Thinking?

(These boots are so, so comfortable. The bottoms are bouncy and soft. I don't want to ever take them off. I'm worried that the white haired doll will think I sound strange for thinking that. Is it weird to want to wear the same thing everyday.)

Bjd Unboxing: Kids Sky Tutu Boy! and a Wig and Shoe Review

As I mentioned previously, Anna ordered a new little ball jointed doll through Alice’s Collections.  It is a yosd or 1/6 scale doll from Kids Sky.

Now, less than two months later, it has finally arrived!

Dear little Momoko has been particularly anxious and excited for this new doll’s arrival, and with good reason.

The new doll is from the same company as Momoko (see Bjd Unboxing: kids Sky Doll Review Part 1).  Therefore, it is as if she is becoming a “big sister”, at least that is how Anna phrased it.

Inside the package is the familiar pink box from Kids Sky.

However, inside the doll box we see some sort of strange plastic packaging instead of the usual soft cushion.  How very odd, Momoko arrived with a cushion, so why didn’t this doll?

In addition to the ball jointed doll, Anna ordered a fine doll wig and shoes.  And as usual, Alice’s Collections added a free cleaning sponge as a gift.

Here is the new doll’s card and the care booklet that seems to arrive with all the bjds from Kids Sky.

And at last, here is our newest ball jointed doll.  Such an adorable doll! 

Anna ordered this new doll with a default face up (it was free!), and it is beautifully done though more subtle than usual.

And thankfully, the company included pretty undergarments, just like they did for Momoko.  I feared they would neglect that detail as well.

Over all, I would say this doll is a very sweet little girl and it is a pleasure to meet her.

“Um, I’m boy.”

You’re a what?  It’s a what?

Anna you never told me about this!

I thought it would be more fun to surprise you.  I ordered the Kids Sky 1/6 scale boy ball jointed doll, Tutu.  He is super cute, and I thought it would be nice to  have a little boy for a change.

“Hi! I’m Sakura, what’s your name?  Do you have a name? You’re a boy, Cool! Why are you wearing pink underwear? Is that normal?”

Sakura! Don’t point, and never mind such things.

“Hello, my name is Momoko.  It’s a pleasure to meet you.  I’m your new sister.  And this is my friend, Yuna.”

“Sister? Yuna?…”

“…Um, it is nice to meet you…”

“Wow, you’re really pretty…”

Come now dear, it is time to meet Yuki, he will be a great role model for you (since you’re actually a boy).

“But, I want to talk to Yuna some more.”

“…So, you got mistaken for a girl too.  This is Shiro.…”

“Cool.”

And they instantly bond, it this a guy thing or just a Yuki thing?

Now it is about time you were properly clothed, so I present to you the “new doll dress”.

“You want me to wear that? I said I’m a boy. :(“

Yuki wore it too, so there should be no problems.

“Yuki?”

“…I’m afraid she’s not gonna budge on this…”

And with the “new doll dress” he is decently atired.

Misako was the last to wear the dress.  As such, it would be wonderful for her to give a few words to the new doll, yet she still persists in not speaking.

Actions speak louder than words, Hikaru.  And a pat on the head is welcome enough for a cute little bjd.

Well, speaking of heads, it is time to adorn his with his new wig.

Anna ordered him this lovely coffee colored wig sized for yosd bjds.  It’s somewhat curled style is adorably sweet, though a little more feminine than one might want for a little boy.

Hey, I think it looks great on him.  The style seems to suit him, and the color is fantastic, though it seems slightly lighter in person than in the product photos.  And why fuss about a “feminine” wig when you made him wear a dress. 

Anyway, he seems to like it, though I think I know why.

“…Um, your hair looks really cute…”

“Thanks, Yuna. :)”

Anyway, it is time to try on his new shoes.  They are a simple pair of black shoes with t-straps.  Practical and versatile.

They fit our new doll nicely.  They slip on quickly and the buckles are easy to manuever.  Anna believes the style works fine for both girls and boys.

Anyway, our new doll hasn’t been introduced to Usagi or the cat quite yet.

“Oh, how cute!  What an adorable little boy! :)”

“You can tell I’m a boy?”

“Well, of course.  Why would anyone think you’re not? :)”

“That lady, thought I was a girl!”

Hikaru, isn’t it about time to give him the present.

Oh, yes.  The children prepared a little welcoming present for our new doll, however that was before we discovered he was a boy.  I do wonder if he will accept it.

It’s a little bunny I got from a gashapon machine, and I think he will accept it.

“…Um, Anna got this and said I can give it to you…”

“…Do you like it?…”

“Yes, it’s cute.  Thank you. :)”

Well, it seems our new little boy is getting along fine with the other children.

And our bjd family has grown so much over the past few years.  Anna even had some difficulty getting everyone into this photo.

Even so, there may still be more new additions in the future.  But, we will keep you up to date on such things as always.

Until then, be at peace.
