Finally the other half of our 10th anniversary gift arrives, I have my Obitsu and Misheru has her Dollfie Dream Dynamite. Miu is absolutely lovely. She's gorgeous, and has that special anime aesthetic that just somehow works. Her outfits are amazing, but she definitely is a 'big' girl.
I've discovered that this scale of doll, really grabs your attention. I mean, my dolls all find a pace in my heart, but these big girls really carve out a special place for themselves. I can totally understand now why Japanese collectors will take their dolls to shows and other events and literally carry/cradle their doll with their forearm/hand as they walk around the event.
Anyway, my Gretel head has been painted by Misheru, and she did an excellent job. With eyes and a wig, and a body now, she is gorgeous. I'll post some pictures when I can, probably later in the week. Her name is Mariko, as in the Lady Mariko from the novel Shogun. I'd read the novel a couple of times long before the TV mini-series happened. It was my first taste of Japanese history and culture. Anyway, Mariko is gorgeous, and I'll have some pictures of her soon.

I like my dolliehs a lot.
Actually, I like my dolliehs more than I like a lot of people I know in real life.
Is that bad? I think not!
