Doll Meet!  
I went to a doll meet yesterday at [info]imhitomi's house. Here's the photos. :D




Two Pukis of doom!


LittleFee Ante...this made me think of Allison's Amandine. :P


Close of of Ante, just for you, Allison! ;)


Three LittleFees: Ante, Chiwoo, and Piki.


My three Lati yellows (Tati, Madeline, and Bailey).


Eli and Puki Sugar...the Puki is on her knees, that's how small Eli is. Several people at the meet were amazed at how tiny he was. I think it's widely believe that the Puki is the smallest BJD out there so they are surprised to see one even smaller. :P But he is amazing and so, so tiny.


Penelope (my Lati white SP).


The two Pullips in attendance: My Dita, Avery and Felice's (imhitomi's) Celisy, MJ.


Close up on Avery...I love this. :D


Close up on MJ, she's really pretty. ;)


This is Felice's Volks Yo-SD Remy. She is so cute! Plus her dress is just gorgeous.


Close up on Remy's cutie face.


MJ and running Petal. :P


Foxy. :P


This was my favorite doll at the whole meet, it's a little tiny tin man BJD! I put him next to Eli for an idea of size, he's really tiny. Anyway, I can't remember the company that makes these, but dang, so cute. Found the company making these, right here. Apparently they are off topic at DOA...they are so weird about that sometimes. :P


Here's the best thing about the tin man: The front of his chest opens and there's a heart inside! That's just the best...and I think I'm in love. Not that I'd know what to do with the doll like this, but it's just really fun and nifty.


Woodling Faerie from Charles Creature Cabinet. These are really, really cute in person. Sorry this photo of mine sucks big time, but it really is cute.


Break dancing?


I took a photo of Tati with this much larger doll because they are both tan, just from different companies.


Aw, I like this, I think they look very sweet. <3

------

There were a lot of other dolls there, I just didn't get a ton of photos, which is fine. I mostly focused on what I was the most interested in...but there were a lot of dolls and quite a few people, too. Anyway, it was fun just hanging out, talking about dolls, and a group of us had quite a good time bashing the "Twilight" fandom. That was highly entertaining to me. :P

I was there for almost five hours! It was also an hour drive to get there, so another hour back and I was exhausted when I got home. That's why I'm just getting these photos up now instead of yesterday, but it was really fun and therefore totally worth it.

I've seen a few of the little tin man BJD's around, they are sooooo cute! I saw one somewhere (can't remember :( ) that was blushed to look a little rusty :D I never realized how tiny they are though, I thought they were closer to Yellows than Whites :O
Joni[info]little_joni on June 28th, 2009 11:39 pm (UTC)
I found the link for the tin man: http://dollti.co.kr

They are really tiny, it's just amazing...I sort of think I want one. :P
Holly: Sachi[info]princesschuchi on June 28th, 2009 10:50 pm (UTC)
Lots of different dolls! I love the CCC faerie and the robot, I've seen it before somewhere, but yeah, because it's not allowed on DoA it's forgotten.
Joni[info]little_joni on June 28th, 2009 11:42 pm (UTC)
Yep, there were tons more, too, I just couldn't photograph them all. It was really fun and interesting. I'm in love with the little tin man, regardless of what DoA says (heh). :P
annina: reachthesky[info]ajun on June 28th, 2009 10:58 pm (UTC)
aww i saw that tin man sometime and thought they were cute, but i had never seen owner photos. they really are so cute, and i love the little door with the heart in it.
hmm let's see i must have saved the link somehwere...
oh yes i found it again: http://www.dollti.co.kr/

oh and have you seen the Firefly tiny of Charles Creature Cabinet? it's so cute i think i have fallen in love with it but it was a limited doll: http://shop.charlescreaturecabinet.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9&products_id=41&zenid=cd147fddd37e6017a55105efef867548

it looks like it was a really nice meet!
is there any doll now that you want more because of seeing it in real life?

Joni[info]little_joni on June 28th, 2009 11:08 pm (UTC)
Heh, I just found the link for the little tin man and was updating my post when you posted this. :D

This is totally my favorite one, he's so freaking cute! However, the site is all in Korean and I have no idea how to order one if I really want one...and it's funny you ask because of all the dolls I saw at the meet this is the one I'd be most likely to want.

I like all the dolls from CCC, I think they are amazingly tiny and artistic. They just aren't really my style, it's just one of those dolls I like to see but not necessarily have. I was really excited to see the Woodling Faerie in person because I've been curious. Never thought I'd get to see one though without buying so that made me happy. :D
annina: moss[info]ajun on June 28th, 2009 11:21 pm (UTC)
aww he really is cute. hey i just searched a little and check out this thread on DoA, read post #5. http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=237279
the person posting ordered through email, it sounds like that worked great!
ha i will keep this link close, i think i would love to own a little tinman in the future.. this one is my favourite :)

oh and about the CCC's, i like how he makes dolls exactly in his own style but often i was dissapointed in their body sculpts, but this firefly fidelia just stole my heart, she is on my wishlist now but of course only 33 were made so no way to know if i'll ever own her. it's ok if not but i'll be looking if i see her for sale sometime.

are you gonna get the little tinman?
annina: moss[info]ajun on June 28th, 2009 11:23 pm (UTC)
ah i only read the full thread i gave you now and saw someone had problems receiving an answer from them. well maybe it's worth a try anyway.
Joni[info]little_joni on June 29th, 2009 01:33 pm (UTC)
I'm seriously considering the little tin man...I don't know why, I just think he's really neat. :D I need to save up my money first and then I think I will try emailing them. Plus, I'm thinking I might PM the owner of the tin man I saw at the meet and ask her how she went about ordering one and if she can give me any tips, etc. :D
annina: moss[info]ajun on June 29th, 2009 03:52 pm (UTC)
oh yes that's a great idea to ask the owner of this tin man. good luck with the saving and aquiring! :)
Joni[info]little_joni on June 29th, 2009 11:05 pm (UTC)
We'll see how it goes. :D
Miaka, Bunny Girl & Blender Goddess™: AFFECTION! <3 <3[info]sobloodycute on June 29th, 2009 12:09 am (UTC)
Awww! What fun! Man, I miss going to doll meets...*sniffles*
AH OMG I forgot just how much I love that Tin Man doll...I totally want to get one eventually, they're way too cute. ;3;
Joni[info]little_joni on June 29th, 2009 01:34 pm (UTC)
I don't go to doll meets often but it was really fun. :D I have never seen the tin man before but I'm seriously in love, it's just too cute.
Miaka, Bunny Girl & Blender Goddess™[info]sobloodycute on June 29th, 2009 01:46 pm (UTC)
Heehee, when I was a kid I was OBSESSED with the "Oz" series, so I have a soft spot for that kinda stuff. I have no idea what I'd do with it, but...he's just SO cute! ;3;
Joni[info]little_joni on June 29th, 2009 01:51 pm (UTC)
I'm in love with this one...his face is so sweet and vulnerable looking. I'm not sure what I would do with it either, but I'm seriously starting to think I want to get one. Time to save my money... :P
Miaka, Bunny Girl & Blender Goddess™[info]sobloodycute on June 29th, 2009 01:57 pm (UTC)
It's really hard for me to decide which one I like the most, tbh. XD They're all pretty freakin' adorable.I think if I did, it'd prolly be this one. ♥
herroyaldemoness[info]herroyaldemones on June 29th, 2009 12:38 am (UTC)
Oh Ante...she is the perfect doll. To me, at least.

And all of the dolls look so adorable! At the last meet Rachel and I went to, people were just in awe of Cameron, too. Since he's just so tiny! They liked Greta, too. There was much squeeing over her little piggly tail :)

Seeing all these BJDs makes me want another one of my own...Amandine DOES need a friend, after all.
Joni[info]little_joni on June 29th, 2009 01:39 pm (UTC)
Ante is really pretty, I just didn't like the way this one at the meet was dressed and she didn't have a wig so I don't think I was seeing her at her best.

Everyone who saw Eli said, "No way!" because they just couldn't imagine one being that small before. Someone also had a piggy there, but it was the larger size then the one you have I think...the one with boobies. :P Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of that one, there were just too many dolls and it was too hard to photograph everything.
herroyaldemoness[info]herroyaldemones on June 30th, 2009 03:16 am (UTC)
I always try to dress up my dolls as well as I can at a meet. Because, well, they're meeting new dollies!

I'm not a fan of the bigger piggy...she kind of freaks me out. To me, what makes Greta adorable is her cherubic nature!! No boobies allowed!
Joni[info]little_joni on June 30th, 2009 02:46 pm (UTC)
Heh, I didn't want to say anything but I totally agree with you, the piggy with the boobies freaks me out, too! XD Animals just aren't meant to have boobs if you ask me. Greta is way cute the way she is. Plus, this larger pig just seemed to have the most gigantic head ever, it just seemed really huge (which is saying something since I love Pullips).

I try to dress up my dolls extra nice for meets, too. I just felt a little sorry for this poor Ante because she was really cute but she had a Barbie dress on which didn't flatter her at all. I feel bad saying that, too, because her owner was really, really nice. She actually has two LittleFee Antes, but she only brought the one. I'm thinking maybe they are new and she just hasn't had time to get wigs and better clothes just yet. But everyone loves the LittleFees (at least this meet and the last one I went to) so they are good dolls to bring to the meets. :P
herroyaldemoness[info]herroyaldemones on July 1st, 2009 06:04 am (UTC)
I mean, I love anthros, but I would like them to be essentially bipedal animals, not anatomically correct! And Greta has a ginormous head as well, it just doesn't come off in pictures as much as it does IRL. You'll find out for yourself when Greta comes for a visit.

One thing I do like about Little Fees is that they're a common size, so there's plenty of stuff out there for them. And some Barbie/Ken stuff fits, too--but you're right, a LOT of it can be unflattering. Especially since LTFs have no chest of which to speak. However, it can look good, too-- Amandine was wearing in my BJD family photos was Barbie and Ken.

I'm beginning to think that sole Tiny collectors are a bit of an anomaly in the BJD world. The meet Rachel and I went to, ONE other person (out of about 10) had a tiny (a Puki). Everyone else had SDs and MSDs. I like my tiny bebes!
Joni[info]little_joni on July 1st, 2009 03:44 pm (UTC)
I can't wait to see Greta...and I'm sure her head is large, but as you know, I like dolls with big heads. :P

The one problem I can see with Barbie clothes on a LittleFee is that LTFs are really meant to be children (given their body design, flat chested and no curves) but Barbie clothes are meant for developed women...so it just doesn't go well unless it's a Barbie outfit that doesn't need a filled out body to...fill. :P You seem careful about what you put on Amandine so she always looks good with what she is wearing.

I'm getting that feeling, too...I was the only one at this meet with only tiny dolls. Even the others there with tinies had larger dolls in their collection as well. But I can tell you that now that I've seen the larger dolls I'm not really interested in getting one, even though I think they are lovely. I honestly think I will stay a tiny BJD collector only, but I'm fine with that. :D
herroyaldemoness[info]herroyaldemones on July 3rd, 2009 03:51 am (UTC)
Well, I've tried a TON of things on Amandine. Discovering what looks good on her is a matter of trial and error. I probably tried over half of all the clothes I own, just to see what looks good on her. Plus, I've already got the clothes, so if Amandine looks good in them, why not? But you're right, a lot of what is out there just looks weird on her, because of Barbie's body type.

I think a larger doll would even been fun for a visit, but I don't think I would want to own one. That's just a lot of doll to handle, and since I travel with my girls a lot, that would be a big hassle. Plus, clothes for them are SO EXPENSIVE. With some tinies, you can even find some commercially available clothes that will fit. I don't know, I think tinies are more...convenient somehow. But agree, I love looking at bigger dolls, some of them are GORGEOUS!!
Chih: Chi chewing on shoe[info]chih on June 29th, 2009 05:15 am (UTC)
Oh whoa, cool, you met Felice! :D
Joni[info]little_joni on June 29th, 2009 01:40 pm (UTC)
Actually, I've met her before at a meet last summer. Since then we just kept missing each other because she would go to meets I couldn't attend and the only other meet I went to she couldn't attend. :P
Misa[info]ningyouundoujou on June 29th, 2009 06:33 am (UTC)
Great photos~

All the dolls are so cute! Those Little Fee Antes are stealing my heart. xD
Joni[info]little_joni on June 29th, 2009 01:44 pm (UTC)
Thank you, it was a fun time. :D The LittleFees are a lot of fun, I'm actually think of getting Ante but in PukiFee size (she has freckles!!!!!!!)
toveb: aura[info]toveb on June 29th, 2009 09:44 am (UTC)
haha, a breakdancing Lusis! :-D
so many pretty tinies. looks like you had a good time.
Joni[info]little_joni on June 29th, 2009 01:46 pm (UTC)
Heh, someone had fun setting up the break dancing doll. :P He fell down though... :O

There were a lot of tinies in all different sizes so it was really neat to see. There were actually dolls in all sizes, tons of SDs, I just have more photos of the tinies because they are my favorites. ;)
☆BOOM☆.......oops.[info]imhitomi on June 29th, 2009 03:27 pm (UTC)
Haha, close! That's my Unoa L-bi. :)
toveb: lavinia[info]toveb on June 29th, 2009 05:09 pm (UTC)
Ah, it was close! Difficult to see when he's upside down. :-)
☆BOOM☆.......oops.: 『Siwon XD』[info]imhitomi on June 29th, 2009 03:31 pm (UTC)
All your pictures are really great Joni!
I found all the breakdancing pics people took really funny because I was facing the other direction and missed that entire escapade. XD
The tin man is so cool! He also comes with headphones and other parts you can interchange w/ the spikes. The cowardly lion one's expression amuses me so much.
Eli's size just bewildered me. He's probably super easy to travel with. Do you still use eyeglass cases?
It was great seeing you again!
Joni[info]little_joni on June 29th, 2009 11:08 pm (UTC)
Thanks, I like your photos, too. :D Eli still amazes me with his tinyness. I don't travel with him much, but he is very easy to pack. I wanted to use my eyeglasses cases again but I totally forgot about it this time, he just fit right into a little space in my bag that nothing else would fit in...he and my Puki. :P

I keep thinking about that freakin' cute tin man...maybe it's a sign (heh, I sign I'm in big trouble if nothing else... XD ).

The meet was really fun, thanks for having it!
Nene[info]plastic_army on June 29th, 2009 06:49 pm (UTC)
Ahhh, so many lovely dollies! The tin man is especially lovely, his face is so cuuute <3
Joni[info]little_joni on June 29th, 2009 11:08 pm (UTC)
The tin man was definitely my favorite. I wish I could have taken more photos of the other dolls there, but oh well. Maybe next time. :D At least it was fun.
pixiewildflower[info]pixiewildflower on June 29th, 2009 08:08 pm (UTC)
Those are great photos...I just love dolls!
Joni[info]little_joni on June 29th, 2009 11:09 pm (UTC)
Thank you! The meets are really fun because I can see other dollies I don't have. :D
Yra - Lorentine[info]lorentine on June 30th, 2009 08:21 am (UTC)
Looks like a fun meet. I love the fact that there where so many different dollies, in some meets everyone seems to have the same dolls.

The tin man is too adorable, carrying his heart like that <3

And wow, Eli IS tiny!
Joni[info]little_joni on June 30th, 2009 02:52 pm (UTC)
It was fun, which is nice because the last meet I went to was only sort of fun but mostly really awkward so I'm really glad it was better this time. And yes, I love seeing all the different kinds of dolls. I'm glad the collectors around here like variety but it would be cool to find another local collector who likes Lati as much as I do...I'd love to see a few more of those around.

I'm in love with the tin man, I might consider getting one of my own if I can manage it...but I need to think about it and save up my money first. :P

Eli is less than 10cm tall. Very tiny! But that's why I love him. :D
