Oh man, sounds like my life...
For a while now, I've been working my way towards bringing a character of mine to resin 'life'-- I know the sculpt and body options, the wig, the face, the clothes... But every time that I've had a good chunk of money saved up, life has gotten in the way, and life has to come first. Gotta pay rent, gotta buy food, gotta take care of family... holidays and vacations and basic living expenses as belts tighten have all taken turns eating away at my doll money...
And then... the release I've been waiting for hits, and I blow my latest big saved up chunk on two dolls. Welp! (to be fair, two Hujoos is still a fraction of an Iple doll, but I never seem to work up more than a fraction... and they're really adorable, so I don't regret it, but I do wish other things wouldn't bleed my funds dry!)
