The Junky Spot box opening

I always wanted to order from The Junky Spot. I saw chocolate dolls and broke down. I also got an Obitsu 11cm doll with elf ears. These dolls are perfect for the 12th scale dollhouse cabin. I didn't buy any eyes or accessories to go with them yet. So this is just about opening the box and what's inside.

I was totally amazed that I got my order within the week. I thought it would be like months of waiting. 

This first doll is Hujoo Ted in chocolate skin. I believe these dolls are made from ABS plastic. I haven't managed to get the head open yet but I will. I will go to the junkyspot.com site and read about it again. I think they have pegs inside. 

 I noticed a little bit of the stringing is hanging out. That's cool. The doll has so many joints for such a tiny doll. Next, is the Obitsu 11 cm body and Paxabox elf head in fleshtone. At first I thought the skin tone didn't match but it does.

 The head is flexible and just squeezed right onto the body without much push at all.

The package contains extra hands and adapters for folks wanting to use different body or heads. The head cap goes on with just a squeeze and a turn. The doll has eye cups for glass or acrylic 8mm eyes.

The really cool thing is the magnets in the feet. They are like Fairyland dolls and can stick to metal.

 Here is the doll standing up on my Harbor Freight shears with magnets. Hope I don't stick him somewhere and lose him.

This next photo shows the difference in Obitsu/Parabox and Hujoo sizes. Hujoo is bigger with a bigger head. 

 We got free prizes too--a yellow dog I think I'll name ol' yellow. The dog is perfect to the doll's scale too. 

 The dog's head is poseable. 

 The dog's head comes apart like a bjd and has an eye plate for its beady little black eyes. So cool. I wonder what other colors can be had?

A big treat like a gummy bear?

Choosing eyes for my 1/3 scale BJD Magical Angel SD

It is really cold outside again, so I got out my SD sized doll and tried her new eyes out. If you stumble upon this and don't like doll family pictures, warning this is obsessive. I like this doll like Barbie on steroids. I got her second hand awhile back. I thought her eyes were beautiful but so dark I could barely tell they were blue. I was looking for pale grey because they seem to take on colors from her surroundings like a mirror. The first grey eyes I tried are beautiful but a bit too dark to achieve the reflection of light that I was looking for.

I like the grey glittery ones next best.  The eyes make her look so much like an antique doll picture. These eyes are almost the same as the grey ones above but have specks like glitter in them. 

The bright blue eyes really shine. They got me dreaming of BJD Barbie someday. They really got the staring doll-eyed look for sure.

Here she is just relaxing on my new  Pinzon faux fur blanket. She's thinking how soft and plush the new blanket is. 

 Now these eyes are just right. They are pale blue-grey with the lines in them. They somehow seem to be the most natural to me. The photos are a little too close, but I was really studying them to see which ones I want to keep. I noticed when I go away for a few minutes and then come back and look, I really like them. I look too hard sometimes. 

I think now I have some confidence in piercing doll ears, she will get her ears pierced. I was just too worried I might damage her. I think it is best to practice on a much less expensive doll for sure. Then on to the body blushing...

I pierced the ears on the Lusis face plate this weekend. I still need to gloss her lips. I am still thinking about selling the doll. I really don't have time for so many dolls.I like her but I know I will just never do much with her. The one thing I really like about this doll is the head poses to just about any position and holds really well. Teeth are so cute too.

I am thinking about piercing her hand like a Moxie Teenz doll. Then you can insert a ring into her hand much like an earring for photos. It's supposed to look like she has a ring on.

I got out my poor little 5star doll Mia and tried on some of the 1/4 scale stuff on her. I had not really thought about it much but the little jackets fit fine with hoodies too. I was wondering what to do with this unusually sized doll. She is bigger than the Littlefee. I just love the doll. It is either the first or second bjd I ever got. She has been discontinued for several years. I just can't part with the doll. I love her too much. I like the way her eyes seem to follow me around as I look at her from different angles. I like the elf ears. At first I only wanted elf ear dolls, but the prices are so high for resin dolls, I am glad to get any doll. I am still thinking dollhouse sized dolls are my kind of dolls. I like the 1/8th and 1/12th scale more than anything. It is just so hard to let go once I get the doll. I think collectors call it bonding with the doll. If I talk to her while I am fixing her clothes and hair, she's mine. So silly, I make myself chuckle when I realize I am talking to a doll. I tried this vintage boy style wig on her and it shows off her elf ears. 

BJD Doll's Updates and Photos After the Snowy Week

Minifee and Unoa doll both posing together with their new ear piercings. They look like best friends.

I got a secondhand Lati Yellow doll. I didn't think I would ever get one of these 1/8th scale dolls. They are so expensive for such a tiny doll. I put the light blue eyes in her, because I can see them better. I added a little blush because I thought she was too pale.

But 1/8th scale dolls look good in my log cabin dollhouse I built. I can't wait to make them cute outfits. Here they are together on the porch I made. I traded their eyes and wigs around just to see what looks best for each one. Left to right is TylTyl, PongPong, Verne, Lati doll, Sleepy. Sleepy is 1/12th scale but looks like the runt in this picture. I am not sure which sculpt Lati doll is. I think from looking at pictures on the Internet, she is Byurl sculpt. I love her smile. It makes me feel cheerful to look at her. If I had to scale back on dolls, the tinies would all be keepers. I think the dollhouse sized items are more my grail. I thought grail dolls would be the expensive, rare dolls. But no I am not finding that to be the case for me. They are the one's I enjoy playing with the most.

I finally finished blushing my little Verne doll from Impldoll. I tried on the little wig I made for TylTyl's huge head and decided it suits Verne more. This doll was really hard to paint. The resin was so slick like Vaseline. But I just kept working on it. I gave him long eyelashes too. I like that he's as pretty as a girl. He's like a little forest creature that came to live here.
