Bonnie and Owen

8/31/2013

6 Comments

 
Jan ordered two new dolls for me from Iplehouse today; BID Bonnie, and JID Owen.  I've loved both since they were first released earlier this year. Bonnie is a real cutie, with a touch of a smile, and she will be the normal skin like Nami. She's coming blank.

Owen is IH's most mature-looking JID guy. Their promotional photos don't really do him justice. I've seen owner pictures of him with facial hair and he looks amazing like that. I've decided I really prefer the smaller dolls, and Owen will be the doll who gets all the costumes I'd always wanted to make for Tedros. I'm still keeping the larger dolls purely as costume models, but for myself I think I've already mentally scaled down. He's been ordered in real skin, and blank.

I also ordered a pair of high-heel feet for Asa. The older IH JID girls didn't come with the extra feet. Iplehouse started including them when they switched to the newer girl bodies two summers ago. Asa will be borrowing Soa's high heel feet for now, but she really needs her own. However, since doll orders from IH generally tend to take 8 weeks, I can't wait.  Even so, eight weeks isn't really that long. Not like dolls from JPopDolls. My little mice that were supposed to come in July, have now been even further delayed to sometime in September. It's already been well over 5 months, and I certainly wouldn't bet the farm that they actually do arrive in September.

Oh congratulations!!! Those are two of my IH favorites (on my wish list). I'm waiting for a little mouse from Jpop too, hopefully we'll see them soon! :)

I liked Owen the minute he came out, but didn't want to order him right away back in the spring because he'd probably have arrived while I was away on holidays this past summer. After seeing some of the more mature faceups in owner pics which make him look a lot older, I decided he'd be perfect for some of the outfits I have in mind. I'd wanted to make a Musketeer set for several large dolls, but now I think I'll do it for the middle sized ones instead.

Congratulations! I've been eying Owen ever since he came out, too. And Bonnie is such a cutie!

I tried scaling down, but after a couple of JIDs and a bunch of Minifees, I'm about to order nYID Olivia. I can't help myself!

I totally hear you about 'scaling down', and have been trying to tell myself I have enough dolls - after these two. Actually I've been good this year; other than the mice, these two are the first actual new dolls I've ordered - other than Peach, who was to fix a failed experiment from last Christmas.

Congratulations! I love Bonnie. She's my second favourite KID, after Serca. Can't wait to see what you do with her!
