Paper Dollhouse
Rants, insights, avatar art, pixel art and various other things that interest me. I'll also post BJD reviews as well as Lolita clothing reviews, from time to time.
Meet Abigail - My Foray Into BJDs
Firstly, it has been a longtime dream of mine to own a BJD.. an over ten year long dream of mine actually, and now I find myself owner/mother to three of them (four, if you count my headless Pure Neemo.. or only one, if you're a purist/snob and only count resin dolls. xP)

Secondly, I've been meaning to blog about my dollies for a good while now.. and I've finally decided to suck it up and take the risk. I know the community can be kinda.. Peevish, so I don't expect to be accepted in said community, all I want is a place for me to post my medicre photos and very brief review. ^^' So here it goes..

Meet Abigail.

She is from the Little Monica company and her face sculpt is the Elena sculpt.
I bought her used off eBay, and she had come with a wig that was a little too small. I got her a new wig and a cute outfit to go along with it. She's my first ever resin doll, and I'm really happy that I chose her to be my first. Her being a 1/4 has worked out really well, as I don't think I'd want a resin doll in a size larger.. Too heavy for me I think. xP Her weight is perfect.

She was strung too tightly when I received her, but I think she's loosened up a bit. : ) I also sueded her joints so she's pretty posable now. Her right elbow doesn't straighten out fully, but considering the price I got her for I don't mind.. and I won't be picky about a doll's little quirks, I think they contribute to each one being unique. ^^

I haven't fully tested her posing abilities yet, as I do admit since she's resin I can be a bit overly timid with her. xP But I think I'm slowly being less cautious!

She does stand on her own! With or without anything on her feet. All in all I think she's a wonderful doll and she's very photogenic. Depending on the position and pose she's in, she can either look sorrowful, deep in thought, innocent or mysterious. She has a lot of personality and I look forward to getting tons more outfits for her, as well as a different pair of eyes. I do like the pink she came with, as I think coupled with the pale skin it almost gives her an albino look.. But I think a soft brown would be less harsh and would suit her better. I went a little overboard with her pics, so here's some bonus ones!
