darnit. I live alone and has a runaway imagination......I used to literally run out the door and run back to take out the garbage at night because at one time my bf had me watch some zombie movies with him and I was afraid of zombies.


You might also consider speed walking as a low-impact alternative. It's better for your knees, and you'll still outpace the zombies. :lol:

@ landwhale: lol, sorry about the scare you had. Sometimes that happens to me as well, especially after seeing something creepy (strangely, creepy writings usually doesn't effect me most of the time). I closed my eyes and plugged my ears while watching some scenes of Jurassic park.
The ever growing wishlist: Hujoo Dana, Obitsu 40, and an army of other Obitsus with anime style heads.
The more expensive end of my wishtlist: Limhwa Half Elf and Elfdoll Soah, my dream dolls.

Congrats! Squeaky joints on the ball-joint body is a sign of good tight joints and a well-cared for dolly. :)

The slide-joint 60cm has the joints like the little Obitsus and are a little more flexible. The 50cm bodies are way more flexible, but still...they are all awesome.

Congrats on your new girl and welcome to a new dolly addiction. :lol:

The reason why they did not use the same design on the 60 cm dolls is because the 60 cm dolls came first. You would not believe how long we waited for the 50 cm dolls to come out. Two years after they were promised? Three? but when they did, the re-engineering made it all worth while.

Also, you will want to replace the part between the hips and the chest with the 50 cm jointed part, which will make her more flexible at the waist and prevent the inevitable waist-piece break. As soon as someone starts a Parabox GO, join it and get

50RP-F01WP-23
Abdominal part
@ $21.00 ea

K2 will probably do a tut here on how to make the replacement happen soon. He should be getting his sets in the next couple days, as Emory's Parabox order with the 11 cms in it came in.

Thanks for all the nice responses and information guys! ^^

Okay, so the slide-joint 60cm is more flexible, which type is that..? And is the 50cm even more flexible or just as flexible as that one..?

@victoriavictrix, thanks for the tip but there'd have to be a GO from Europe for it to be useful for me, and I don't see that happening any time soon. I'll just be very careful with my Sosha :P, OR I'll place an order at some point myself. We'll see.

Oh and yes, the elven ears look cute on the Joshua head, but if Sosha doesn't have them and they're sisters... who's gonna explain to them that the postman always rings twice?! ;)

OOHHH!!! You and your girl look amazing! Such Beauties! She has such attitude! My Risha wishes she could meet your girl!

I too have the ball jointed body and she is three years old and squeeky as ever! But that is part of her charm. I think for my next body, if I go 60 instead of 50, that I will get the other soft body version.

Thanks :D
I posted what she looks like now in another topic though:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2934

I'll have a Sosha day this Sunday. She'll get her final faceup and a dress. I'll finally have some time for her now that I'm almost finished with college :D :D :D

P.S.: Risha and Sosha haha, that sounds awesome, they should be friends indeed ;)
