I like some 'character' in my dolls, so have had my eye on Addiction Efreet, from their Vampire series from a few years ago. I'm not into vampires, but I've seen this little girl with her fangs filed so she just had regular teeth, and then she becomes just a 'chatty little girl'. This is her promo picture, but I'm looking past that. She'll be coming blank.
I had been waiting until after my surgery before taking advantage of Iplehouse's annual Holiday Event Sale. Then earlier this week they announced a new KID and BID coming - which they released yesterday. I'm finding their last releases all look so much the same, and so neither really appealed to me. So it was time to decide on my order. I like some 'character' in my dolls, so have had my eye on Addiction Efreet, from their Vampire series from a few years ago. I'm not into vampires, but I've seen this little girl with her fangs filed so she just had regular teeth, and then she becomes just a 'chatty little girl'. This is her promo picture, but I'm looking past that. She'll be coming blank. And I've also had my eye on FID Bianca for some time. But with all the uncertainties with my health, I just wasn't ready to move further into the FID line. I hadn't been sure I even wanted to stay with that size, but I hate selling my dolls, and a single girl and guy just seemed so limiting. So I decided once I'm feeling better again, I would like to get into making a line of fancy gowns from my substantial collection of saris and Indian scarves. And two girls in a photo just has so many more possibilities. I don't usually order my dolls with a factory face up, but I love her just how they offer her, so am getting her with a face up - although in Real Skin instead of PeachGold....

Congratulations, they are two beautiful girls. I like this Bianca too. Maybe next year...

The FIDs do come out again every few months, but I always wait until their Holiday Event to order anything from Doll Choice. I don't feel like paying the extra $50 just for the privilege of getting a doll from there.

Both are excellent choices - I think you'll have a lot of fun with them!

It must have been so difficult to narrow your choice down to two dolls! The two you've chosen are great.

It can be a difficult choice, especially since Jan always reminds me I already have more dolls than I have time for, and that I should only get new ones if I'm actually going to use them. As in photo stories. Comments are closed.
