Anime Boston- Dolls

You may wonder why dolls are getting their own post but I attended two doll meets at the convention and I carried a doll around for at least part of the day.

BJD meet-

This was my first BJD meet, I had heard about it online but I am not active in the bjd community so it was a bit awkward for me. I was not anticipating such a large meet. Everyone seemed fairly nice, and the dollfie dreams were better received then I thought they would be but I think my Ante, Marie stole the show.


Luckily, my Fairyland Puki Piki arrived on Friday even though she had only been with me a day she came too and I even managed to find clothes small enough for her to cosplay in. Before and after shots

Impromptu meet- There was supposed to be a pullip panel which got canceled then there was supposed to be a meet which never really came together so I basically decided I was having a pullip meet come hell or high water so I stopped and talked to everyone carrying a pullip that I seen at the con.

I think we eventually had five or six people then we snatched a nearby person that we spotted walking by with a bjd for even more dolly goodness. I felt very at home as we eventually ended up with four Papins lol. I broke Joyette’s leg during the convention but I have already fixed it.

Other sightings-
I seen lots of people carrying around bjds at the con. Here are some of the ones I seen around..

When I was getting ready to get on the escalator while carrying Ryomou I bumped into a gentlemen with a very lovely volks bjd he had named Charlotte. Of all the bjds I seen at the con she was my very favorite.

Carrying Dolls- After the bjd meet I decided that my partner in crime and I would both be carrying the Dollfie Dreams around. The reactions were mostly positive lots of people seemed very interested in them, I even got an offer from someone wanting to buy Ryomou which I politely turned down (of course). DDs are not that heavy but my wrists were very sorry after carrying Ryomou around for several hours.

We got the most stares when we went to go get lunch in the food court mostly because we had to walk through an actual mall to get there but it was still worth it.

Spicing things up a little

I decided to spice things up a bit and decided to rehome a few of my dolls, for those of you interested there is Sales Information here. I am currently looking to rehome a nude Kirsche pullip, a NRFB Monomono dal and a Rouge Noir blythe. I am the point where I have so many dolls that there are a few that get zero attention so I decided to let them go.

I am also already in the progress of trading one of my twin Hangry’s for a Fairyland Puki Piki. Adorable Aubrey is possibly also being traded or sold if the trade falls through.

In other news I unexpectedly won the preorder lottery for Rin

Recent Acquisition- BJD- Little Fee Ante

I received my first bjd in the mail last Saturday. I purchased a Little Fee Ante (Full Set) by Fairyland from Denver Doll. I had been curious about bjds for a while but never really found one that spoke to me before, a friend of me posted a picture of her up in their blog and I just had to have her. I ended naming mine Marie… 

Marie is approximately YO-SD sized so approximately 10 inches tall. She is approximately the same height as a dal but she is much chubbier. She poses wonderfully almost as well as a pullip. I am still a little nervous about handling her and I do so literally with white gloves on as to not risk me accidentily touching her face. I am also ultra-nervous about her yellowing so I had to put her in the upper hallway where there are no windows and no natural lighting whatsoever.

The opening was a bit of an ordeal as she arrived somewhat in kit form. She herself was nude and bald inside of a small pillow-like bag and all her clothing and accessories were in seperate bags. It took me a few minutes to get her dressed and photo ready.  Once I started photographing her I absolutely fell in love, she is an absolute joy to photograph. I am so enthralled with her I actually want a second one but the one I want appears to be sold out at the moment. I am considering getting a puki which are smaller dolls by the same company but I am having hard time choosing one.
