i-ra~

as most people know, i am VERY interested in "ABJD" otherwise known as 'asian ball-jointed dolls'. i haven't been posting much about them recently because i think the strong 'passion' i had for it has grown a little weaker, but it doesnt' stop me from admiring and wanting to buy many of the limited dolls out there :D

recently, one of my favorite doll companies, the korean 'dream of doll' company released a LOVELY limited edition elf called "I-ra".. she was first shown in pictures with a mask on, so her face wasn't revealed till later on:

isn't she gorgeous? and what a beautiful name! the price was set at USD890 and put on sale on 29 November 2006... from what i read in forums, she was gone in minutes/seconds! i think aside from the doll i own (a lovely girl who i'm in the process of renaming), this girl is one of the dolls i would have LOVED to own.. she looks so much like deedlit from lodoss wars!

aside from the limited 'breakaway' male doll from luts, and the limited ducan from dream of doll (another male doll with elf ears) I-ra would be the one i'd want most after those.

it's interesting how DOD posts a background story for each of their limited edition dolls. apparently ducan and i-ra are in a story with each other (although the english translation is kind of confusing...) :D for those who forget what ducan looks like, he's another mysterious looking elf male doll (yes he's male... it's the whole bishounen type look :P):

aside from dolls.. i need to start/finish up my christmas shopping! i've yet to get gifts for micsis, bro, bro in law, sis, lg718, dinb, manager, company x'mas part, and a few random friends... /insert omg face here/ i think the hardest would be my bro because i have absolutely NO IDEA what he would like.. hopefully i can have it all completed by this weekend and have time to enjoy buying an x'mas gift for myself....

x'mas gifts/cards should be arriving this week to ppl that i sent out to last week :D hope you all enjoy them!

current mood: sleepy from medicine...
