2026 Doll Plans

No, but you may need a dozen. Or more.

You just don't know it yet.

And have you asked your dolls?

Illya is biased and keeps insisting she needs more magical girls around - unfortunately, she's probably right. More magical girls is literally always the solution.

My still-unnamed doll is too busy sulking about not having any clothes that fit to give me any feedback xD I am seeing a possible solution here though...

Further update:

• As mentioned earlier, got not one, but two character dolls: Sakura Amamiya and Ranko Kanzaki (+ all her outfits + some more that suit her). That leaves one character doll on my wish list (Sakura Shinguji).

...I might add a Temari.😓 Her gap-moe character is growing on me (that's her serious attitude vs. her silly and immature antics - I'm actually surprised there isn't more "charisma break"-fanart of her, seems like the perfect type of character for it).

There's a fabric seller near me that sells green and black leopard boa fabric, so I could even feline-ify her without the colours clashing too much with her wig...

• Got 09 & 27 SW heads, plus a custom flesh 07 head that, together with some other bits, has resulted in an almost completed doll (just need suitable shoes). I still need a few heads, especially that 05 SW head (it looks like the most suitable head for a cosplay-wearing doll - closest to original character art). OTOH, after writing out the heads and bodies I actually have, I have too many heads suitable for MDDs.

Well, I'm not sure whether Volks is ever going to restock certain heads at this point. DDH-05 has been out of stock for almost 16 months now at the Japan site...☹️

• Got DDP SW body for a floating head that will become a playmate for Ranko.

Here the main problem turns out to be the wig. Mirei Hayasaka has a difficult hair colour, there's one dealer with an almost perfect wig that is continuously out of stock, so I'm going to try to modify another purple wig to add the streak of reddish hair.

• I bought a silicone bust and thus need an additional SW DDdy.

Body acquired since the last time. The 2x DDdy silicone bust turned out to be a handful even with the Esquire Club Kyouka Suigetsu (verrryyyyy revealing) outfit that almost seems specially designed for use with silicone busts. Now I need a head and proper footwear. I still need to think whether I'm going to switch her from "pink fox" to "cat"...gotta say that those "shape first"-fox tails take up a lot of room.

Remaining TODOs:

• Faceups, faceups, faceups.

Well, with the weather continuously oscillating between "way too dry and hot" and "very wet" this one is on the backburner.

• That damn 05 head.
• SW MDD f3 shins.
• Good condition second-hand SW bodies are harder to come by this year on Mandarake. 
• Those Azone bodies - I just need a naked Alice, really.

This did not change.

What did change:

• Elsewhere I related how I acquired a tan DDP body without head. Except I only thought of checking the availability of tan heads after hitting the order button at Mandarake...which of course turned out to be "close to none"😅 This problem likely has been solved via aftermarket resin MDD head. My choice outfit also turned out to work quite well, just need some suitable underwear and shoes, and then I can assemble my kyuubi walking disaster area.
• I did manage to get an additional DD-f3 body, but it needs some spares.

What might change:

• There's a very cute head on Y! Auctions Japan that I'd like, but I really don't need even more MDDs...
• Asainu has started selling more cat tails (of all possible types, including extra fluffy). This...is a problem (FOMO triggered). Maybe I should just get a plush snow leopard instead.

 I have my heart set on adding one DDP and one MDD Mochi-Ashi to my doll family this upcoming year. 

Well, I’m proud to say that my dreams will soon become a reality. It looks like I’ll be able to get my hands on a DDP Ribbon for my birthday this year… if and only if I’m able to prove that I can reign in my impulsive spending habits. I made a promise to someone who I care about that I wouldn’t buy anything frivolous before or after my birthday for several months, since buying a vinyl doll is such a massive financial investment. But I’m very determined to follow through on this promise. I’m more than ready to commit to this. I’ll be so proud of myself the day that I can say, “welcome home” to my new vinyl companion.
