Augh.

Well, his funky proportions are really annoying me, (narrow waist, wide hips, VERY broad shoulders, scrawny arms, huge hands) and since he's not as flexible as a real human, I've run into trouble with the shirt. He shoulders are too broad to get into it. So I'm not going to be able to put him into anything even remotely form-fitting unless I have it open in front and button up. I hate buttons. Also, I hate cheap fake satin. Some cream satin was the only non-strange color I had for a shirt, that or velour. (Or brilliant cherry red, or metallic gold) I figured the satin was better. It wasn't. So he is shirtless.

Figures. Aidan always did end up losing his somehow.

If you're willing to deal with a bit of ringamarole, there's a company that makes a similarly sized BJD in the less-than-$300 range just now. Problem being that nobody there speaks English, and they don't have an English website, so you have to either speak Japanese, or deal with intermediaries.

I'll probably wait till I have birthday money this summer- I've still got 4 more of Annabelle's outfits to finish restoring before I will be really in need of a project.

*nods* Yeah. I'm hoping to be able to get a second, female doll this summer. Maybe. I want a Secret Keeper more though, so I have to save up for that first.

Yeah... so many neat things, so little money...
