Blah, blah.....BJD!

So, something not too many people know about Nim- I've wanted a BJD (ball jointed doll) for years. A few weeks ago, I was given my first two in a trade, since they were extra and she wasn't going to use them. The lady I traded with loved my clothes, so I made her outfits for her dolls worth the two vinyl BJDs she was going to return to the company. I adore those two, we'll be seeing pictures of them soon.

Then she offered me the coolest trade of all.....a Miro doll body, for $96 worth of outfits. (That's 6-9 outfits, I did it in a week.) Considering that would normally be around $130-$160 with shipping and all, that was fine by me. She had gotten it in another trade, and wasn't going to use it. I had to buy a head for him, and found one that was gently-used, so very slight yellowing of the resin, but it doesn't bother me, still a good match for the skin of the body. There's a scuff mark on his chin that no amount of cleaning would get off, but again, doesn't bother me for the somewhat low price I got the part for, you can't see it all that much when he's posed, just when he's laying down.

i'm currently working on his clothes, but he has a faceup, his eyes in, and his wig on. I'll be doing photos in the next few days.

This is something I am super happy about....it took me ages last night to coat him with the resin protection stuff, and then to put him together, but he looks so awesome! He's a single-jointed BJD, not a double-jointed. so Oszust Sinclair isn't so hot on the motion....but still awesome, and he does some posing. For the trade I got the most expensive parts of him in, I really can't complain at all. <3
