~ A sign from the stars ~ Volks has really been hitting it out of the park with their recent resin releases, and I’ve tried my luck in a few of the lotteries. After missing out again and again, I resolved to just get SD Alto from the secondary market so I wouldn’t have to…
~ Return to Resin ~ Korean BJD company ChicaBi recently spun up a new brand/storefront for their SD-scale BJD releases, called Luna Blanc. I fell hard for the new Kylie sculpt, and figured since the head is compatible with a lot of my existing Volks/SD collection it’d be worth a try to customize her.…

– A Magical Maid Appears – I ventured into the realm of Tinyfox with their 1/4 scale Liluta. Tinyfox is a China-based doll brand, spun off from Doll Zone and Doll Chateau. They started off with 1/6 PVC dolls and now have made several fullset releases in 1/4. Ordering through their official English language site…
