The first addition to the Noël collection for WTG since their debut four years ago! Noël Autumn/Winter 2007! Also the Selfish Winter collection is on the dark side as well. Yay!

I'm in love with the the Goth-Slavic-Bohemian winter look. Very different! I hope they have this stuff at LA Dolpa. And that reminds me... I'm so excited for Dolpa! Volks spoiled us with all those tea parties last year, I've gone into withdrawal. It is a good thing though, I would have been completely punished as this year we've been so busy/harassed.

Volks' Original Fashion Dollfie

Wowie, something new-NEW out of the Volks arsenal. Original Fashion Dollfie, Masami (light skinned) & Tomoko (dark, and darker than their normal "tan"!). New dollfie based on the EB Slim bodies, same as Who's That Girl. So they'll have the fashion line-up of the WTG behind them to boot.

I love them! The face-mold looks similar to the romantic Century Models, sweet yet still sassy. Perhaps their trying a different tactic from their fashion Century Models? I don't think they ever appealed much this side of the pond.

Edit: It appears that this is a collaboration with a TV show or... ? If anyone can translate the page above better than I, please inform!

On a side note, I have been slowly working on fixing the glitches with my blog, and have been doing some housecleaning with the categories. Trying to trim them down a bit,and replace too specific categories with tags. You can use the search function or the "tag cloud" list to find specific things like "dollfie" or "unoa" and I've tried to add my doll names in a consistent manner, so you can search on "St. Trinian" and come up with all the posts I've ever made about her. Neat!

I don't usually work piecemeal with the site, but with current time constraints I update a style tag here, some brokey js there. Bleh. I'm still getting settled into the new house. But I've managed to have some quality dolly hobby time, just not documented. Yet. Bwahahaha!

Gentle River

Congrats Chimushiburi (Team Sibley)!

Woke up to the official Gentle River pix hitting CWC News. Wowie, wow! If you remember, Team Sibley won the Blythe Beauty Contest, first prize being a load of stuff, including seeing your doll design go to production.

Team Sibley is: Christina of JamFancy (Australia), Paul Kaiju (California), Melissa (California), and Blanki (Asia). An amazing international effort!


She's so amazing. Team Sibley had much involvement with production. CWC collaborated on aaaaall the little touches. The hair is a dark and bright red custom saran mix, the color of autumn leaves! She has a Takara produced custom green glittery P-chip pull-ring, and Melissa even got to design the lip print. I love the boots! Holy cow!

Also please note they made a petite blythe out of River's little deer friend! Lemon Butter! I love how the outfit mirrors a fawn's little spotty pelt and yellow tummy. Aw! Check out the squirrel.

Due out late May 2007. Unfortunately, due to production fabulousness, she will be released as a Limited. While it will make her harder to get, I think many of the special touches would have been lost if they had released her as regular stock at a lower price point. I think GR will share the distinction with Mitten that she is absolutely perfect the way she came. My Mitten Blythe still sits in original outfit, I love it so.

Swoony! Not sure where this set will be available... Robochris & R&D are the only ones I know who carry Annz dolls. But dang. Kimono + accessories only, it looks like.
