Elfdoll Catsy discussion thread 3

Thank you for the nice comment, phanuel! It's a quiet thread these days, so it's easy to miss a post on it.

Love your pic - saw it on flickr and it made me smile to see your Catsy clan together again! I understand what you mean about taking a pic of both the black and white ones together - it's tough for me to get the lighting right, too. I always put the black one where it gets the most light, but even then, it's a bit of a crap shoot. You did a great job with this one!

I'd like to take a Halloween themed pic of my guys, but my legs aren't so good these days and it can be tough to do the amount of set-up they demand, without losing steam halfway through. BTW - did you see the new Mini Brioche? I think the light gray would look great with your larger butter one, but I'm not sure it would look good with my mint one. I may wait for another color, which is probably best, because I don't really have the extra money right now and still have one more payment on Mialypso to go. Then there is the fact that I already have Catsy cats that are gray, too. Would really like something different.

 

Congratulations, phanuel! So happy to hear a Mini Brioche is coming to your house! I'm looking forward to the pics you'll take of this little gray one - you always come up with such fun photo ideas! I'm also glad I'm not the only one who makes a choice dependent on the color. I love gray kitties and all of the real ones in my life were gray - even one of my current guys is gray in a sense, with his blue point markings. But since I got the mint Brioche, I think I need a color that will play off it a bit better and I don't want to over-shadow my gray Catsy cats, either. I think that would be very easy to do with a Brioche - those cats have so much character.

I also know what you mean about anthros. They were my first love in the BJD world and they remain so. My DH has kidded me about my Catsy cats, saying of all the dolls I have - some of which are quite extraordinary and dear to my heart - I'd probably save my Catsies in a fire first. There is just something special about them and my other anthros, too. Really love them.

 

I haven't posted this one in this thread and I doubt folks look at the old ones, so figured it would be nice to add a seasonal touch:

The Headless Horsecat

 

Thank you @phanuel! It's one of those few times you get an idea and hope it actually works out okay.

 

That is a wonderful photo Cattwo. I miss my Catsy .... and this thread.

 

Thank you @spensers_mom! Here's a newer Catsy pic for you:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


Someone put too much catnip in the cauldron again!

 

Lol, that did not stop me from asking about the Catsys! Everyone, flood the Q&A! Let's get the Catsys back!!!

 

Thanks for sharing the info @phanuel! I rather doubt he'll go back to Catsy, too, since it seems most artists prefer to move on from past works. Doesn't mean you can't ask, Tonboko - please let us know if he replies to your request!

It seems hard enough to get artists to make other versions of their most popular dolls. Why that is remains a mystery to me, especially if we're talking about a best seller. But I don't know how popular Catsy ever really was - certainly was always #1 with me. My tiny Elfdoll girls still haven't had their pics taken years after I got them. Catsy always steals the show.

 

Ermygursh!!!
This is what I was told:

Hello dear,

Thank you so much for your interest on Catsy.
We will put Catsy to our next release list.



Warm regards,


Oka

 

What great news! Thanks for sharing it, Tonboko! Not that I personally need another Catsy, mind you, but I think it's wonderful for those who have been wanting one. Would love it if they came out with another, different style one, too. Or different colors.

 

It would be nifty if they offered pick a Catsy, pick a color. I have wanted to get an original one in that lovely grey color they used for Catsy 2. Already have a name for her. I need my trio completed!

 

Well, I could make room for another Catsy.

 

Lol! That is the beautiful part about them! There are always room for more!
I am trying to figure out how I am going to afford them all.... they were around $280 last time, correct?

 

I think that's about right, Tonboko. Something just south of $300, unless you were adding a Reminisce head. I hope you get yourself a grey one! Here's a pic of the female and male together - only difference, beside the bodies, of course, is that female has painted lashes:

 

Yes, they don't take up much room - even if you have a lot of them.

 

I'd actually like to see some done in an array of pastel fantasy colors - the way Pipos has in the past. I love blue resin and even though I made myself a pink Catsy, I'd love one is a softer pink.
