My Dream Dolls

"I want to have 16 BJDs in total. Some day maybe..." - I said with serious look. Nobody responded I'm crazy because it was BJD meet. Dolls are our beloved hobby so it‘s serious thing for us.
Actually I‘m not sure I‘ll have 16 dolls in my collection ever, but I like the tingling of that number. Six-teen...

When we were supposed to decide on our first BJD we searched through many BJD websites... There were at least 8 dolls I wanted to buy my first. We have chose Scout from Granado. Amazing doll! But the others also are amazing! I decided to post my dream dolls here – do not forget them to include into my 16 dolls collection. Some day. Maybe :))))

Rongtian, Limited Loong Soul Doll

It was my idea to make my lovely young samurai Iwaki-sama more mature and masculine, a grown-up man. 

My imagination pictured him to be a young noble daimyo of some more-like-middle-sized han, located somewhere on the western side of Honshu. His residence - the white stone castle - was built on the coast of the Japan Sea, in distance not so far from the opulent royal capital Kyoto, but far enough from the Tokugawa's renewed and strategically situated castle town Edo (the future Tokyo). Iwaki-sama served at the Emperor's Court as a remarkable member of the Royal Diplomatic Mission closely operating with China's Royality. Period - Edo Japan. 

Of course all this historical stuff around my dolls isn’t literally correct. It is MY Japan and this fabulous fantastic land lies far away from the historical reality.

The first doll Ivan from Loong Soul suited this image as the daimyo was young. Few years have passed and I wanted him to grow, to obtain some power and weight in the Japanese high society. 
So, I searched for the new doll to fit the changing personality of Iwaki's character.

The new Limited Edition Loong Soul doll Rong Tian was an EUREKA! 
He become my love and desire at the first sight! I ordered a full set without hesitation on the next day he was listed. When I received my doll - all expectations were fully reworded! Stunning wonderful doll! This is definitely one of the most successful BJD projects in the world!

For your notice Rongtian is fully sold-out already. 60 sets only.

Actually Rong Tian is a character from the famous Chinese BL novel "Feng Yu Jiu Tian" ( "Phoenix from the Nine Heavens") written by Feng Nong and from the related manhua wonderfully drawn by Chinese artist Wang Yi. 
Rong Tian is the secret Real Prince, who is not quite the gentleman but not quite the cold-blooded whip-in-hand villain either. He is ruthless and unrelenting in the world of politics, but carries a soft and tender heart towards Feng Ming. He is so devoted and deeply in love with Feng Ming that not even a maiden of goddess-like proportions can stir his heart. Also, his love and dedication to Feng Ming runs so deep that when his lover was kidnapped by Ruo Yan (a king from another kingdom who also harbors a love interest towards Feng Ming), he would willingly engage in an open war to rescue Feng Ming.

Iplehouse - Bichun in Korean costume

My dream doll Bichun by Iplehouse. Yeh, still dreaming. But nobody knows when this beautiful boy will join my collection. I have Asa waiting for him!

This time Iplehouse presented a new version of their most popular (I gues) sculpt Bichun - ancient Korean Nobleman Pung Un in traditional historical Korean costume. Hanbok designed on late Chosun dynasty period (18th century).

Pung Un has a new Korean style face-up as well. Those brows!!!

Hanbok also is my long lasting dream. I have some plans to learn to sew traditional Korean garments. For women and for men. While visiting Korea, in Seoul, I have purchased the good illustrated book how to sew traditional Korean clothes. Studying now :)))









Please enjoy new photos collection from Iplehouse.
