Have you already seen? Big discontinuation: Discontinue on 2023.06.21 : BJD - Alice's Collections - BJD Dolls, BJD Accessories
Oh no! It is a massive one and I hope it means we’ll see new dolls from DC. And some sculpts were not even for that long. (Flora!) Also surprised to see Y-04 body go? I’d say it’s more popular than 03 with extra neck piece and jointed feets. No sculpt I’d be missing but feel tempted to snatch Flora head. And Y-04 body in peach? But I already have two in white so it doesn’t really make sense
*weeps* they're discontinuing Alva AND Ula! My budget wasn't prepared! It looks like only a couple of bodies are going so I might be safe just ordering the heads to put aside till I can get a little more cash in hand to buy bodies for them. I'm surprised to see their k-02 body go as well, it's arguably the most "normal" looking of their male bodies and one of their few actually msd height msd bodies. They've mostly switched over to 50cm there. looks like Alva and Ula both have a 5.5-6cm neck, which might be a bit tricky to work with as most msd bodies at like 6.5 I think. DC always has such extremely slender necks. My other problem is I have always wanted a green dc doll and was planning to get Alva in green but now i'm not sure because splurging for a full doll right now isn't really viable. argh. ARGHHH I say.
Super glad I'm safe this discontinuation. None of these are on my wishlist. Good luck to anyone who's dream doll is on the chopping block!
I'm still salty about missing Hugh. He wasn't even LISTED in their discontinuation list and they discontinued him at the same time regardless -_-
I took my dolls down to sort them out, readjust the shelves and decide who doesn't "spark joy" (lol) and Elanora (Bella) was looking pretty worse for wear. Her lips had chipped and were just looking BAD so I redid them in a shimmery acrylic husband has for his warhammer minis lol. It's gold in some lights and purple in others, quite fun. I enjoy how sulky and peeved she looks. She's always been a pain for me to pain because she needed a dramatic makeup and makeup is NOT my strong point. But i'm learning, slowly. Her wig is too big but I love the colour of it on her far too much.
@purple_monkfish: Your doll is beautiful. I love how you did her face up. I especially like her eyeliner. Her clothes match her makeup so well. Oh man l'm so sad about this discontinuation sale. I really wanted Gladys, but I just purchased a body for one of my floating heads so my doll budget is kind of blown. I wish we got more warning about discontinuation events.
aww thanks both of you. I kinda wish i'd learned more about makeup when I was younger but I guess it's never too late to learn lol. I'm still arguing with myself over this discontinuation event. I found my original plans for Alva and i'm like "arghhhh" I dunno. Money is tight right now but I have til the end of the month I suppose. I'll see how I feel in a week or so.
@Naomicamlux - They're so beautiful!! I just realised I never shared photos of Arachnia's finished wig (although I've since added an extra braid): IMG20230303170031 by Liz, on Flickr
These two are so amazing together. Their horns are absolutely epic! Her wig is fabulous on her. She is such a beautiful sculpt.
