Whoa ...
Okay, so, I had an unplanned break.
The usual things that cause such breaks were in full force there for a while - lack of creative drive, money, focus on other areas ...
Then Anasi threw a boot at me, and ... yah. Anyway, I'm back at the sewing machine, and getting ideas, and ... yah. Not having that other boot thrown at me is some pretty serious incentive. >.>
(I knew there was a reason a lot of people wear those huge clod-stompers...)
So. Plans - I had plans! - got changed. I still want to see Faen, in all his winged and somewhat irreverent glory, and all the rest of it, but 'want' is not quite the same, or a good enough reason when my space and resources are still so limited. *sigh*
Okay, so they aren't so limited that I couldn't get clearance to get another pair.
A Bobobie 'Dai' is currently swapping cross-world gossip with Anasi, while waiting for me to get off my butt and actually ... *gasp* ... sew her some clothes that fit. Sorbha doesn't throw boots - but I don't really want a rain of socks, either, so I should probably get around to it.
However, I have to rave. Bobobie is totally new to me - they kind of came up on my radar when Junkyspot started carrying them. I poked around, did some research, checked out their main site, and ... hm. Wait. Under $200, for a 60cm doll? That can't be ... right? Can it? With face up?
Apparently, it can. Their 'new' body (I have no experience with the old one) is pretty flexible, is nicely sculpted (a bit skinny, but for Sorbha, that is at least appropriate. She is /supposed/ to be lean and muscular), and their head sculpts are nice. Some people have had comments about thin resin. I am not noticing anything of the sort ... but. When Bobobie says 'white'? They mean it. Paper white. Porcelain white. No colour at ALL. None. I might actually have to blush her. o.O
(A side-note - ordering things from Junkyspot is a bit dangerous. Her box showed up, and the damn thing was /bulging/. Literally. There was a LOT of stuff in there other than Sorbha and the stuff I had ordered. Some of it, I expected. Some of it, I really didn't ...)
I'll post pics and her bio once I've gone and sewed her combat panties. Technically, leotard - and cooling vest. She'll need that ...
At the moment, I am rubbing my hands, bouncing and waiting for Pjotr - DollZone 'Cosmo'. *cough*
Yes, yes, I cleared it. No idea when they'll finish 'processing' and ship him, though ... Eeee! *boingboingboing*
