Finding the right wig

Rabbit Goon

Sometimes finding the right wig for a doll makes all the difference. Who'd have thought--Mr. Rabbit Goon (Peak's Woods Fairy of Fairytales) only needed to be blonde? I think he's simply adorable in this shade!

I'm pretty sure this is a DollHeart wig, which, as far as wigs go, is on the pricier side of wigs. On the other hand, as with a lot of things in life, you get what you pay for when it comes to wigs, and this one is no exception. I think he is quite a handsome chap! He looks like a sun-kissed elf with his new blond 'do.

He's wearing John Darling, a DollHeart outfit sized for YoSD dolls. See a few more photos on Flickr.

Casual clothing from DollHeart - just lovely!

Olivia, DM-000006
Lots of new stuff is available from DollHeart and their dealers, and I am delighted with the selection of lovely casual clothing. There is a new line, called D2 Casual Wear, which includes both single pieces and sets, for reasonable prices.

Above, you can see Olivia, available for preorder for $79.90. Sized for Dollfie Dream medium bust, this set includes the hat, top, fur collar, coat, pleated skirt, socks and panties. Super cute--I wonder if it would fit any of my current girls? (Did you know I can find out here--right on DollHeart's website--which clothing will fit my doll? They have posted a measurements guide online. It's very convenient!)

Lauren, YD-000182
Next, there's Lauren, sized for YoSD girls. Another adorable casual outfit, this set includes the hat, bubble shorts, socks, ruffled shirt, denim jacket, scarf and bag.

LA-000289
One of my favorite pieces from May's preorder collection is this lovely one-piece dress. Here, you can see it on Luts Ani, sized for MSD. It's $32.90 in this size. Only the dress is included, as this is one of the separates available.

LA-000288
This dress can also be ordered for SD10/13 girls, so you can have twins! I think it's simply adorable. It's $34.90, and available for preorder now.

LA-000290
The same dress is also available for Dollfie Dream Dynamite girls. The price is $34.90. Check out the rest of DDY casual separates available for styling this piece here.

Mia, WD-000002
A new size for DollHeart, Mini Dollfie Dream, and their first outfit, Mia, is sure to be a success! I've checked her measurements, and she seems to be between MSD and Unoa. This outfit is $69.90 and includes the dress, cardigan, chain necklace, and socks. All the pieces (well, maybe not the socks) are available for purchase separately as well.



A few sneak peeks - Melissa is not yet available for preorder, and price has not yet been determined, but wow--it's cute! Sized for SD10/13 girl, this set includes the hat, coat, socks, belt, woven shirt, gold knit sweater and denim shorts. I've already got those shoes, and I think I see this outfit in my near future! The pieces are listed separately as well.

LA-00282
Another fun one-piece dress has been sneaked on DollHeart's site as well. This black number is being sold as a separate, also for SD10/13 girls, with no release date or price available at this time.

Isabella YD-000150 and Noah YD-000149
No DollHeart post is complete without something fantasy, and Isabella and Noah definitely fit the bill. No release date or price, and the pieces are being offered separately. Outfits are sized for YoSD. 

Isabella includes a pink eared hat, furry neck collar, one-piece, bloomers, socks, necklace, and a pair of bracelets. Noah includes a shirt, vest, shorts, grey bunny ears, and neck accessory. My guess is that the outfits without prices will be available for preorder in June. Eeek--they are so cute!

New! Segi twins from Peak's Woods!


Sculpted by KyungMin Lee, with limited edition make-up (including freckles!) by Dhar, there ae two new dolls coming soon!

First is the FoC Segi Twin, girl version. While I adore her red wig and bright blue eyes, it looks like she actually includes a random wig and eyes. You can choose her skin color (white or normal), and bust size (normal or small).

The base price of $567 includes a face-up, and is available May 21-31, when you pay in full. The discount isn't offered when you use lay-away.
After June 1-June 10 (or with lay-away), her base price is $620.
Special hands and feet are an additional $25 per pair.
The uniform adds $159, and includes a jacket, V-neck sweater, lined shirt, skirt, crest, bow tie, and black knee socks. Shoes are not included.


Next, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the second FoC Twin Segi is a boy! He uses the new Dandy body, and you choose normal or white skin. He includes a random wig and eyes, too.

The base price of $603 includes a face-up, also with freckles, and is available May 21-31, when you pay in full. The discount isn't offered when you use lay-away. (Interestingly--his face-up doesn't include eyelashes. I didn't even notice he didn't have on eyelashes at the show.)
After June 1-June 10 (or with lay-away), his base price is $670.
The uniform adds $148, and includes a jacket, V-neck vest, basic shirt, trousers, crest, and necktie. Shoes are not included.

His height is 61cm, with measurements following soon.

Migidoll at the KBJD Show

Migi Doll

Migidoll's booth at the Korean BJD Show - it was my first time seeing these cuties in person. This husband and wife team makes up the former Cherish Doll company, offering adorable tinies and expressive large sculpts, and wow, are they amazing!

Good prices, too, and very nice dolls. Check out this guy's little smirk, and see more photos on Flickr.

Migi Doll

They are selling a new girl, Jean, in collaboration with Sadol. The girl is on Sadol's fabulous Honey63 body. I love her, too. She has a high heel leg option, similar to a Volks SDGr body, which I think is super sexy. Jean's full set is limited to only 20, and her base price is only $500.
