My Dolly Week #20: Custom Week!

Welcome to the 20th ‘My Dolly Week’! I don’t think that I ever had such an intense dolly week like the last seven days! I had so much fun and learned a lot! 😀 There were also some announcements from Groove about future collaborations and I found a nice way to pre-order this autumn’s Pullips without having to pay for them in advance!

Ruri and her Toy Story poster!It was finally time for Ruri’s fashion post, since I had to wait for some things to arrive and I had a lot of fun to make a faux-diorama for her. One of my favorite pictures, I especially saved for today, is this photo above, in which she looks super proud of her Shinzi Katoh Toy Story poster (which is actually a post card). It is my dream to create more with my own hands and one day make a real diorama for my cuties!

Mayu stole my heart!Ruri’s Poison Girl’s Dolls sister Mayu arrived on Friday and she is the sweetest. I hope, I am not the only collector out there, who sometimes just relaxes by simply admiring her dolls with an absent-minded grin on her face! When I look at them, I feel like I am in a dream. 😉 I am in the middle of planning Mayu’s solo fashion shoot and a joint one with Ruri! Continue reading My Dolly Week #20: Custom Week!

My Dolly Week #19: Changing your outlook & revealing why next week is going to be special!

Welcome to another week full of dolly ramblings! We have made it to July and gosh, there was a lot going on last week! In my personal collection, but also announcement wise!

My rechipped Pullip LupinusCan you immediately spot, what has changed about Miss Luise?! If you follow me on Instagram, you will have already seen that I changed her eyechips. You can see her original eyechips in the review I wrote and I still like them, but taking her out of her stock clothes and trying to give her a different look, never quite satisfied me. Along came María‘s recommendation to take the plunge and change her eyechips. I was super nervous, all my screwdrivers were too thick and I was swearing like a sailor. It is my plan to make a post for eyechip changing for beginners, so not everybody will be as uneasy as me. My goal is to really get into each detail because I was at the end of my nerves. 😀 You might have guessed that lack of patience is my biggest flaw. I swear, I am getting better at it! 😉

Detail of Pullip Luise's new eyechips!Lu is now wearing pretty golden brown eyechips from Chewy Rabbit and isn’t she super cute?! Finally her nice metallic eyeliner is not competing with her eyes anymore. There is also a new wig coming in for her and some other girls. Leeke World had a sale and because I am such a rookie, I have no idea, if I got a decent deal or not (it looked like one and I am happy). 😀 But hopefully those will be all the wigs I need for a while. Also I need to write up some reviews first, before some girls get a new style!

My Ruri from Poison GirlMore big news! I should probably wait until the end, but I am impatient! 😉 A special girl is going to join Ruri and her sisters soon! I will make sure to let you all know immediately because my happiness is going through the roof! Some tears were shed today and my heart was instantly lost! <3 Continue reading My Dolly Week #19: Changing your outlook & revealing why next week is going to be special!

My Dolly Week #12: Myra and Luise!

Welcome and happy Mother’s Day to all the awesome Moms out there! It is Sunday and time for another dolly week, in which I like to write about all dolly-related things that I’ve come across in the past seven days! My highlight of the week was this beauty:

Myra in a new outfit!
She looks completely lovely in this set of clothes! There are not many stock Pullip that wear red lipstick!

Pullip Myra's stock picture.Pullip Myra is an early anniversary gift that I tried not to open until June, but I could not resist. She was released in 2013 and limited to 300 dolls. Groove later released Pullip Aira in 2014, which is a re-colored version. Their big main differences seem to be the wig, the eyechips, the eyeshadow and lip color. Myra is one of those unicorns that suddenly appears and decides to stay with you. She is pure movie star glamour and I love her face! Her stock implies that she is a burlesque dancer, which is not totally up my alley. I like her more in this ensemble from Pariflora Dolls (her socks are from Belle Magni, her shoes and headband are from Groove)! It completely changes her look!

Review: Pullip Creator’s Label Lupinus

Creator's Label Pullip Lupinus
Creator’s Label Pullip Lupinus

Pullip Lupinus is (with her counterpart Dal Quince) the latest release in the Groove Inc. Creator’s Label line.  She came out in November and was created by Silver Butterfly, who previously also designed the outfits for Galene and Nana-chan. When she was announced, the number one discussion was about her eyechips, which do not have pupils. I made up my mind about her, after I saw her in person in Akihabara in Tokyo. Her cute face left such a huge impression on me that I ordered her a few weeks later. Continue reading Review: Pullip Creator’s Label Lupinus
