Beani Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) I was lucky enough to participate in the Doll Point lottery on Saturday. Wayfinder and I distributed ourselves in the line (number 74 and 157) and waited. With 203 people in the line the head was drawn at 197, which was rather nerve inducing. Luckily though there was enough stock and after around 4 hours of waiting I returned home with a new girl. Untitled by Beani F, on Flickr Untitled by Beani F, on Flickr Rem belongs the Wayfinder so will not be included here. This is my first full set doll and opening her makes me even more excited for 2B. It’s such fun opening a box like this with so many goodies inside. Her box is quite flimsy though, thinner than I remember other fullsets being. Ram’s Arrival by Beani F, on Flickr Ram’s Arrival by Beani F, on Flickr A big sign I am smitten is I love them even without a wig, and I truly do love this adorably grump face! Ram’s Arrival by Beani F, on Flickr I managed to twist the garters while putting them on so had to redo them. Be careful with them! Ram’s Arrival by Beani F, on Flickr Adorably bald shot again. Ram’s Arrival by Beani F, on Flickr I think most of the unboxing took like 20 minutes but just doing her hair took me at least 40 minutes due to that damn cross clip. I’m still not happy with it but just had to give up. Her wig cap is also easily visible so it’s a tough balancing act. Ram’s Arrival by Beani F, on Flickr Here she is with my baby Hanako before she said goodbye to Summer and changed into her new clothes. With her clenched fists I could only think of one pose for Ram, had to go back and spend points to get new semi-white hands for her later. Ram’s Arrival by Beani F, on Flickr To anyone on the fence I definitely recommend grabbing Ram, she’s a complete heart stopper. Was worried I wouldn’t bond but the concern was totally unfounded.

Monty Posted September 2, 2019 These girls sure come with some nice lingerie, I had no idea. Congrats on getting her! I’ve never done a store lottery before, only a Dolpa one. Seems like despite the stress it was less stressful than the clickwar. *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given my other doll has zero nice underwear this was indeed a nice surprise. I was a little disappointed the garters are fixed to the stockings though. Can’t use them on anything else. This time round the physical store was definitely less stress than the click war from the sound of it. For those who wanted Rem the Doll Point lottery worked out perfect, they had enough of her for everyone that wanted her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magique Posted September 2, 2019 So cute! Are the black parts of her clothing lined in white or is staining a worry? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I noticed a few black threads here and there but not in areas that touch her. Its a good thing too. The top is such a perfect (tight) fit I doubt a stocking would even fit under there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marina-uk Posted September 5, 2019 Beani, I was looking at your photos on flickr, it must have been so exciting to attend this event. I wouldn't have known where to look first! The dolls are absolutely gorgeous, and unboxing them must have been a treat in itself. Thank you so much for sharing. 😍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Volks events are a lot of fun (right down to the little snacks they give you while lining in the stairwell for an hour). This was my first time going for a doll myself though and I really wanted the parasol so there was a lot of worry about if stock would remain long enough too. Fun and a tad stressful!

marina-uk Posted September 6, 2019 sounds exhausting but well worth the effort. How funny they supplied snacks, I suppose they didn't want any of their customers fainting in line! Ram an d Rem are just so sweet ❤️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had to endure 3 hours of clicking my phone screen. And finally got one! The pain that ensues after made me think twice the next time i plan to join a clickwar. 3 days of swollen thumb is no fun. But the shipping notification makes it all worthit. Probably. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ui- Posted December 2, 2019 I’m so jealous. I woke up four hours late for the clickwar and both were sold out. Boooo. I fell asleep an hour before. *cries* Theyre gorgeous though. I didn’t realize the clothes were that amazing. I’m definitely buying them on Mandarake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beani Posted December 3, 2019 @Ui- Shame you missed out on them! Would definitely recommend both dolls. The outfits are indeed stunning. I had Ram out of it for a little while but after about a month simply had to put the default back on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had Ram out of it for a little while but after about a month simply had to put the default back on. Yeah it’s too bad. But I got Towa instead and I’m not displeased. Still waiting on the skin protecting tape and wig cap. Going to tie it around her thighs that the brown parts of her dress will touch and I’ll decide on if I want to use the wig cap or tape when they get here. That and the wig styling gel. Made two orders by accident lol. Too lazy to cancel the first too haha. Most everything’s lined in white though, even the shoes. Gotta love Volks. https://ibb.co/cgZKbSG Not too sure how to post pictures. The insert image from URL link is broken on mobile at least. Congrats to you though! They’re really pretty.

cfx Posted December 8, 2019 Towa's wig shouldn't stain her head because the wig cap isn't black, so you shouldn't need to use a wig cap or tape with her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beani Posted December 8, 2019 @Ui- Volks has gotten really good with lining everything properly lately but it never hurts to have some good body protection stuff on hand. At first I never used the tape but now I don’t know what I’d do without it. It’s what I used to get the magnets safely installed on 2B for her ears and tail. I’m glad you are happy with Towa! I was a big Miko fan so was sad to see her replaced. But a lot of people seem to really love Towa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ui- Posted December 8, 2019 @Beani Yeah everything is lined with white except the outer parts of her skirt trim. Even her shoes are lined with white and have white insoles (stamped with Vs; rather cute and cool). I can just use tape to cover the parts of her skin up that would touch the dress. I figured I’d find other uses for that tape too. I have other wigs that don’t have this lining as well. But assuredly, some of the sprays and wig styling cream, is guaranteed to be worth it. Thank you I love her very much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
