Did you take a look at the post I did, about Ro's hands? I put it up yesterday, I think. Bea has the hands, I was gonna order for Ro. The Hand 7 ones.

No, I don't want the ones she's using. I'll order my own pair of that sculpt. I just want non-chubtastic hands for him.

she says he's welcome to her spare hands, if the resin matches. i can't remember which two were hers though.. xD
on a separate, but still doll-related note. i believe that for my xavin doll i shall buy a ns lishe with the exact body type i want, no faceup (plus option parts all at the same time) and dye the pieces myself to get her the perfect shade of pale black-girl tan. then i could also try body blushing and doing a faceup. xD all things i've wanted to try at some point. and with my utterly neurotic nature, i could totally handle the 10 hours of fine-grit sanding it would take to make the colour apply perfectly. heart what do you think of that?

I think it's an enormous project that is really risky because of the dye, but you could do it.
You could also look for a Tan Lishe on the usermarket. Just saying, that could be an option.

i'm looking forward to it. i'll spend the next several days reading every bit of information i can find on the process. it should be somewhere around 15 hours of work. i'm looking forward to it very much. i also know you can remove dye mess-ups with rubbing alcohol or non-acetone nail polish remover.
and i don't want a secondhand doll ever. not because they're lesser dolls, but because i don't want any residual soul sticking to her, you know? i want her to be exactly what i've envisioned for her, and nothing less. i want to sand, dye assemble, blush, and do the faceup for her. i want to be part of every step of the process. heart

I have two secondhand dolls, and both of them are just fine. One had never been removed from his box, and the other lost all residuals after a few months. I wouldn't have been able to get either one brand new, and I wanted them both too much.
I still prefer to buy new, if it's an option, but I'm not above secondhand dolls. :3

again, i'm not saying there's anything wrong with secondhand dolls, and i understand that's the only way to get some of them. for me though, i wouldn't want anyone else's soul-ly fingerprints all over my baby. it's a territory issue more than anything else. xD

No I understand where you're coming from. It just seemed like you were looking down your nose at secondhand dolls from the first post. If you say, that's not how you feel, I trust that. *cuddles Yo-SDs*

yeah, yours are fine, others are fine. i kinda like some of the dolls you can only get through the secondary market (or extremely limited pre-order) such as the unoa lusis, but since i'm to impatient to wait, and a sore loser on top of that, the pre-order fights aren't for me, and the territorial "ugh, somone else loved all over you and i can feel it.." is just too much to keep me from ever getting one. i'm okay with that.

The pre-orders are alot easier to get into now. You just have to be okay with waiting up to 6 months. xd But yeah I know what you mean. I just had to defend my pre-owned babies. I see now that you didn't mean anything offensive by it.

i doubt i'll ever get one. kyu finds them somewhat hideous. i just can't quite bring myself to be willing to wait a few months to find out if she's really mine. if i do it all myself, it'll be that much more of a special bonding kinda thing. whee have you looked into the self-tanning process? there's a good guide to it on bjd wtf. xD it just looks ridiculously fun to me. heart

Nah I balk a little at the idea of trying to tan a doll myself. Not that I don't think it's possible, but I don't really want to try it. I hope you enjoy the process and your results. :3
