Oh wow, Sonya, I love this one! I saw the blonde version at TRU yesterday and I was like "Enh, not for me," but I love the AA version... damn I thought I was safe, lol. She kind of looks like a bigger version of the "Brandy" sculpt? Of which I have I like, at least three in the small size, ha ha. If I see this one, I know I'm going to be sorely tempted, even though I try to stick to resins mostly (I like being able to switch out the eyes/hair easily). I love the versatility of the resins, too, but I like the play aspect of the vinyl dolls. And the prices tags are pretty easy on the wallet. :-) And at that cost I have absolutely *no* problem with modding them. Ahem... and... ummm... speaking of the blond.... I *may* or may not have accidentally brought one of them home today. (whistling innocently) I get into *SO* much trouble while I'm waiting for dolls. (snort) I've had my eyes open for the pretty Asian and Hispanic versions, too, but no luck. Oh, well. With blue haired Evie; that'll be enough. I hope. Lol hehe... My mom mentioned repainting the blonde maybe, but I was all like, "Nooo I have too many projects with the BJDs". But yeah, I like all the other versions, so if they have them at my TRU, might grab one. They seem sadly hard to find in Canada, though. I hear you on wanting cheaper dolls for modding, though, I can never carve into something that cost $600+ either. I actually just bought a Mirodoll for that reason, I wanted something I can mod without being "eek," plus I wanted an elf like the ones from WoW. So I got Lightning: rs722.pbsrc.com/albums/ww224/mirodoll/Big%20Dolls/Lightning/Wood%20Elf%207.jpg~c200 If that works out, I want to get Mika next: encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSqSMg5tyQ2-xsdQheR_TKhPHG_pFHnKC_FxFQ-g9b19WrZCDYHtwMika has such a cute face I had a hard time not just ordering both at once, but I want to see how the quality is first before I go crazy... |

OMG! Lightning is *awesome*!! And Mika is so cute. I hear ya about dipping the toes in carefully. 1 that doesn't work out is no big deal. But a family of them is hard on the wallet no matter what. I think on the blond I'll just give her eyebrows a bit more detail and give her lips a more realistic paint job in a neutral color. I can see her as either an ice fairy or winter elf. Good times.  |

I didn't even notice her looking like, "Brandy", until you mentioned it. |

She is, Kiddo. I really wanted one too...then Jen said she looked like Tai Pal from Star Trek (sp?) Mostly I could see she earring potential...hopeless Sparklie girl here. Ice Queen...hmmm...good luck Kiddo, I know you'll do great! Sounds like a fun project |

I had a wallet once, then someone just built a doll currency exchange center over it...  And, that sounds really neat, can't wait to see what you do! |

ROTFLOL. "A doll currency exchange center." Oh, dear! That's about right, isn't it? (giggling) Iplehouse has loosened it's grip on my purse strings, but Amazon and Cricut picked them *right* up.
