Newbie sez Hi!

Postby nezumi » Thu Sep 01, 2011 9:59 am

Hi, y'all. Mouse here. I'm a newbie. I was vaguely aware of the existence of some sort of doll culture related to anime fandom, but never really investigated it. Then I went to A-Kon this year with a friend ( who didn't really "get" anime & needed a native guide -- she understands it more now) & saw everyone's gorgeous dolls there. I told myself I didn't need another expensive hobby ( model horses, scrapbooking, collage art, anime, Steampunk.... the list goes on...) but I found myself drawn to it, little by little. Now I'm waiting on my first doll. :D
A little about me -- I've been a SF/Fantasy fan forever, was introduced to anime by my younger brother in the 80's ( still have old VHS fansubs...) and am working on my first novel. Live in a suburb of Oklahoma City -- we moved here from San Antonio in 2000 when Kelly AFB closed & husband's job moved up here. Am owned by 1 cat & 6 koi fish. Voracious reader. Can be found running around cons in Steampunk garb. Anything else subject to change.

Hiya and welcome! Any idea what kind of doll you'd be thinking about for your first?
A hobby isn't supposed to leave you wistful, regretful and vaguely disappointed. BJD collecting is as customizable as the dolls themselves. Do whatever pleases you the most, because otherwise, why do it at all? All for the 'Gram Bitches love the 'Gram.

Actually, I have already been claimed, as it were. Was trolling Ebay and suddenly, there she was:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/290600237928?ss ... 1439.l2649

It was luv at first sight. Had to be, dammit -- nothing else explains it. After the OOOO-SHINEY-MUST-HAZ eased up a bit I did some more research & found that there's a generally good opinion of the Goodreaus among those who are not wedded to the 'Asian resin is holy' idea. So I had to have her. She's on her way from North TX, which isn't far from here. Haven't told my husband yet. :mrgreen:

Try just doing a search for completed items only ( use the advance search). The item # is 290600237928. Might work better.
Yeah, Ebay sucks sometimes. I think I got a good deal, though, and a good seller.

Yay! Welcome. I haven't seen a goodreau vinyl here yet so she'll be an awesome addition. I always waver on the goodreaus when i see them on ebay.
