milkmoth Posted March 15, 2021 hi! i'm miles, i've had an account here for a while and i've been in the resin side of the hobby for almost ten years now, but yesterday i just won my first dollie dream on yja! she's a mari makinami and i've been after her for at least five years now lol she's gonna be my birthday present this year and i couldn't be more excited! another grail finally checked off! :') i'm probably gonna get different eyes for her, maybe a new slightly longer and differently textured wig, and i'm considering a more modern/accurate faceup, but i'm definitely going to be getting her some of the alternate outfits they have in eva store art. 😛 i have no idea what i'm getting myself into despite all the experience with resin (i'm going on 90 dolls/heads), so i'm putting myself in your hands i guess! :J 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dollvari Posted April 5, 2021 Hello & welcome to the vinyl side!!!!😄 Nice choice I love Mari, I own her, Rei and Asuka. Sounds like you have a good plan, would love to get some plug suits someday. I'm very tempted to get another Mari to make into a boy, but like you I have many dollsTake a look around a lot of good info to be found enjoy!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wait to see you post your girl when you receive her! hello! and thank you! welcome to you too! 😄 i got her at the end of last month actually, and i filmed an unboxing but my camera died in the middle of it lol so i haven't posted her yet. i'll have to do a photoshoot sometime but unfortunately i need shoes for her since hers disintegrated as volks faux leather tends to do.... being in a little plastic baggy for 10+ years probably not great either T___T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
