I got one more complete outfit for my Minifee from Goodreau MIM collection. This one I really wanted for the tennis shoes. The skirt is a little too big as usual but everything else fits just right.

I did a comparison of my Goodreau Make It Mine doll with my Minifee doll today.I was thinking I may want to sell my Goodreau doll, but I fell in love with her again. MIM doll was one of the first ball-jointed dolls I collected. I had really never heard of it until I bought a Heidi Ott doll for my dollhouse scenes. I was amazed that dolls could sit and stand and even pose. Collecting dolls became a renewed interest to me. I think I crossed a line from just collecting pretty dolls to playing dolls. I am a weekend mommy to all my mail order children now. This has to be the most laughter I have had in a long time besides raising my puppy. And the best thing is dolls don't steal the toilet paper or rummage in the trash.MIM doll Taylor's head doesn't really raise up and down but I managed to work the extra joint in her waist to make her look up at me and have her picture made.

 The dolls are very different in that Goodreau is an American Ball-jointed doll and Minifee is Asian BJD. Goodreau dolls are fashion dolls instead of art dolls. I think MIM dolls look like little girl fashionistas. ABJDs are more for artistic creations, customizations and just plain fun too. ABJDs are usually resin and Goodreau MIM dolls are vinyl I think. I do know Goodreau produced some resin dolls and that MIM dolls are not one of them. MIM dolls hands don't magnetically connect to her and they are a little more time consuming to dress. Sleeves should either be stretchy or open enough to share with Minifees. MIM doll becomes more fun as I learn to pose her. She doesn't seem to have the range of motion ABJDs have. I would really like to customize the MIM doll more than just buying a new wig, eyes and outfits. I would like to see her have more blushing and eyelashes at least. I am not sure how to pierce her ears either. She is hard vinyl and I don't want to break her. Maybe I will be able to find some ideas on youtube.

My dog is so happy I don't dress him like this anymore.
