Happy Mail Day!

The dolls are starting to return from their spa days.  Since I have limited myself as to what I can spend my money on, I really enjoy getting happy mail.  Yesterday, one of my doll heads came back in the mail. 

This is my custom Pullip, based on Tifa Lockhart of Final Fantasy VII.  She was originally a baity Craziia head that I purchased from someone (no longer active) on Dolly Market.  This doll has been on many different bodies--from Obitsu to Volks EB Beauty to a female action figure body.  I finally decided on this Dollmore plastic fashion doll body.  It is pretty, but also very frustrating because the strung elastic and the oversize pullip head makes for a poor combination.  She flops around like crazy and getting her to sit is maddening.  However, she stands up fine, and for the most part, I am fine with it. 


Sorry, I was having fun playing with the different effects on PicMonkey, hence the over-edited photo. I don't have photoshop, so please just bear with me. It's been a hair over two months since I'd sent this doll head to Buff (buffdolls.net). I imagine there must have many dolls on Buff's worktable and some needed time off during the holidays. Ordinarily, Buff takes about a month or so to work on and send the finished doll head back. She's always really professional and drama-free. With her, I don't have to worry about my doll head being kept or sent to the wrong address.
 

I wasn't the only one happy to have my doll back home--her Taeyang counterpart (custom based on Cloud Strife of FFVII) was glad to see her return. Here he is with a "Welcome-Back-&-Happy-Belated-Valentine's-Day" bouquet. Yeah....my doll shelf is looking closer to being complete! I'm looking forward to having every one of them back home.
