Dolls Still Missing:

7/26/23

Note that some of these will be missing headcaps or listed as just heads because Jim Alan Mueller (wholesalejim on eBay) sent back random body pieces just to be a dick

Resin

Ringdoll Pan w/ permanent single horn mod on head

Ringdoll Chen

Ringdoll Quiz GS fullset

Ringdoll K fullset ver. w/ attached hair; minus priest outfit, which was with me at the time because I was trying to make robes; head magnets are screwy so headcap doesn't stay on well **

Island Doll Shukaku ver.2 fullset

5Star Doll Edward

DollClans Vezeto on Mirodoll 60 body **

Blueblood Dolls Draven

Doll Leaves Andrew

Doll Chateau Hubery; company faceup

Dollzone Elsa

Soom Firelord Chrom

Volks Free Choice SD girl; no ears, just holes where elf ear parts used to be; goth makeup; antique dress ** ¡¡

A second Custom House Mina he found; zombie mod; full body painted

ResinSoul Dai NS; mellowed to tan-ish

Bobobie Apollo; 1st gen; also mellowed

Vinyl

Smartdoll girl, NS

My Ballerina Dolls Nicolas

DD Nemu Asakura, customized **

DD Vocaloids 9s and 2b

Heads:

Angell-Studio Vejino; faceup has 5 o'clock shadow

HZ Wang Ye

Minimee Ruki w/ vampire mod

Minimee Gazette (all) **

Minimee Dir En Grey (all)

IOS Jaguar

** These are the dolls he is most concerned with recovering, either due to sentimental value or how difficult they'd be to replace. Reiterating that we can reimburse you for buying to return if it's down to the last day and we can't get it reported in time, as long as you're open to small installments.

According to public records, Mueller has a second business address just over state lines in IN, so be alert to the fact that an IN-based wholesaler could still be him:

732 E 82nd Ave, Merrillville, IN 46410

¡¡ Less than fun fact: this is Carmilla's 4th time being stolen. She was a secondhand purchase from someone we knew from DAK, and she was stolen from and recovered by her original owner 3 separate times at conventions over the years she was with him. We were hoping she'd be a little recovery charm... then remembered 4 is a bad number in Japan. :/ (We still believe in you, Carmilla!)

Photos:

My favorite picture of Father K. We were chilling in the hallway at A-Kon and this Slenderman cosplayer wandered up, completely taken with him. He asked for a photo.

DollClans Vezeto in Volks's Young Black Jack Kiriko fullset. Independent of his correlation to my Volks Black Jack, there's no mistaking that nose!

The Nemu Asakura custom, which may be listed with the wedding dress or shirt/stockings anyway since it was part of a fullset

The My Ballerina Dolls Nicolas, since it's a relatively unknown brand

Ringdoll Chen

Note: I made a lot of the clothes that were stolen, so in the event he posts dressed dolls, shoot me a dm and I can verify the listing that way.

As always, a big thank you to everyone following this story and everyone who's helped us along the way. We owe y'all so much gratitude; we never would have found any of them without y'all's help.

BJDs made to look like real people are such a context-based thing for me. Like if someone makes a BJD based on, say Henry Cavill's likeness but styled him to look like Superman or Geralt, then I'm totally obsessed. If they style him to be Henry Cavill himself, and post as such, it's a turn-off. But I agree with this anon, I usually say "Ooh, nice... (reads description) oh, eww, okay..." then scroll on.

I myself own a few Minimee heads based on real actors but they're styled and shared as a character they portrayed in a movie or a show. I can't imagine owning a little version of a real person on my shelf, but for some people it's all the same thing, and that's fine, because life is too precious to try to change someone on the internet's opinion.

you may or may not know this about me but i am a pretty hardcore collector of ball jointed dolls, and you would not BELIEVE the amount of EXTREMELY dated loveless photoshoots that are out there. i'd feel bad sharing them because like. it's sort of inherently goofy so i feel like it'd tread a little bit into making fun of them which i'm not entirely comfortable doing but god....... (dated as in dated for the both the bjd hobby (the fake fur wigs......... *shudders*) and dated as is like Squeeing and such)

also apparently at some point someone did a group order (when a bunch of people pool money to buy multiple items to meet the threshold needed to order something basically) to have ritsuka and soubi heads custom sculpted which would've cost like. somewhere between 800-2000 You Ess Doll Hairs at that point in time and the only evidence i can find of these heads existing is very, uh........ Patterson–Gimlin-esque

#i'm not going to lie to you even if i had high quality images i'm of the mind that they probably came out extremely ugly #all the DiM minimee heads i've seen are like. um. not Great.#which is funny because their normal sculpts are gorgeous and i own several.#that doesn't stop me from wanting the loveless ones SO BAD though. i don't care how ugly you are I STILL LOVE YOU #also i found a shoot that had the lyrics to such great heights by the postal service attached which is certainly a pick for. loveless.#the years for these shoots are like 2007-2009 primarily we knew less then......... it was a different time..........

Found some smaller iris eyes I’d made… I think I made these for MiniMee but used some others for her.

These are also the only pair of eyes I made that have yellowed, and IIRC it was being secured with the kneadable eraser that caused it.

I repainted my 3D-artist-resin-cast 1:6 scale Leon S. Kennedy head sculpt, for the millionth time! DX I knew I was going to do so eventually; I was just hoping to not f-up again. Which, I kind of think I might have done, again! Fortunately, I feel like I have discovered a way to make him look more accurate, without being wasteful (of MSC, which is toxic, expensive and a pain in the gut to get). I always considered watching a tutorial or two, about how to paint realistic 1:6 action figures, since way back in the day when 1:6 started getting more realistic looking head sculpts and facial paint apps. I even attempted adding pigmented skin texture to some of my DIM Minimee. However, I was doing that with pastels, with small amounts of acrylic paint for just the line work. Which can be heavy and get really “make-up-like’ for my taste. That’s why I thought why not watch a tutorial now, since I was also looking for tutorials on how to gloss eyes properly. I found it’s pretty much what I’ve been doing (the glossing the eyes part), but my terrible shaky hands are huge handicap, that I’ll probably always mess that up.

The painting is so much easier than anything, but it does take a million watered down layers. I don’t know if should be getting model-grade paints, instead of using my artist-grade Liquitex, which might be too saturated and viscous for this kind of paint work? I don’t know, the artist whose tutorial I saw used only model-grade paints, so I am not certain. From the little bit I found on google searches, it seems any acrylic paint will work but the model-grade paints are more like water, than what Liquitex is like and going from the video, they are a lot less saturated/pigmented as well. Oh well, I’ll settle for what I have for now.

Regardless, I was able to get my Leon to look somewhat closer to what I always envisioned him looking like. I’m not a professional by any stretch of the imagination, and not even remotely good at this yet, but I hope that with the little bit I was able to learn, I’ll improve the next time I try repainting him again. I am kind of tempted to get more 1:6 action figures heads to attempt repainting, however, I am not into real people and those are the only heads that are popular in the 1:6 genre of figures. That or 3D printed unlicensed massed produced heads, which I am not okay with. It’s one thing to commission an individual to make a fan-art version for a small number of people, and another to mass produce every single character from a single brand’s licenses (squareenixfinalfantasycharacters), without even blinking. DX

I am fine with repainting this head as many times as it takes, as I have mentioned before, I just wish I didn’t suck as much at tiny miniature work. So that I could get to the point I will feel satisfied with him, sooner. I took a million photos, so I do believe I like him a lot better already! I can’t wait until I can feel like trying again! Which will probably be sooner than later, you never know when you’ll kick the bucket and that’ll be that! Lol! (: My cell phone that is older than dust, but takes “nicer” photos was dying, so I took most of these with my newer cell phone that takes sharper photos, but less pleasant to the eyes (IMHO). The last two were taken with my old-cell phone, I feel they show the texture a lot better. Although he’s not quite as tomato red, IRL.

He’s not wearing his black shirt that came with this set because I am planning on attempting to recreate the game’s version of the 5.11 tactical shirt that HT made. I am also not wanting to have to remove any stains on the body, as it is partially painted on the upper torso. This body is the Damtoys RE2R Leon’s body, so it’s pretty large, but the head is so big, it makes it look tiny....Lol! I am still angry that the head sculpt was made to be so large. From some angles, you can even see a huge gap at the nape of the neck, because the head is so freaking massive. T__T;;

The coolest (or freakiest as my spouse has deemed it) thing has happened. Since stepping back into the hobby, I’ve been trying to track down where the spare of Trudie’s head ended up, even going so far as to make a marketplace post on DoA. Following my old feedback, I found the name of the person I originally sold it to, who was kind enough to look through her records for who she had subsequently sold the head to. That person turned out to be an old friend, but she had had to move the head on too and couldn’t remember to whom, only that she thought that person had likewise sold it onward. I’d kind of given up hope of discovering her whereabouts at that point, but in talking to Twigling about her 1:3 Artifex Kindred body (the self same body I really want to get for Trudie), it came to light that she has the duplicate head! I can’t think of a more perfect ending to my quest. It’s pretty unbelievable and really rather wonderful. It’s a nice mystery to have resolved. I’m really happy about it. 🥰 Damn it all, spoke too soon. Twigling was mistaken about which old minimee head she has.

In other news, I seem to have developed an obsession with getting the same pair of eyes (or at least the same brief) made by every urethane eye maker I come across who takes custom orders and can do glow in the dark. Once the dust settles and the winner emerges, I’ll have several pairs to sell. It’s one way of comparing makers. 😜

Faceup for my good friend @wishesforadog ❤️ She is donating this awesome Audrey Hepburn Minimee head as a door prize for one of our local meets, so I had the opportunity to donate a faceup on her! 😊 Sadly, my faceup shop is still closed as we prepare to move into our first home (we close TOMORROW! 🎉). #bjd #legitbjd #bjdfaceup #onionbulbboutique #doll #dollmakeup #balljointeddoll #balljointeddolls #bjdstagram #dollstagram #dollsofinstagram #bjdblushing #bjdfaceupartist #minimee #audreyhepburn https://www.instagram.com/p/CRRb5vjDfxF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Okay, dollblr, I need your help

My friend's doll collection was stolen on May 19th by his shitty landlord. Charges have been filed, but the landlord and the moving company he used to transport the dolls and other stolen property have been uncooperative in giving the information needed to trace and recover the dolls.

I'm asking that this post be shared as far and wide as possible so he has some hope of getting his most beloved and distinctive dolls back.

If anyone sees a massive dump of Ringdolls and Dollfie Dreams on Mercari, eBay, or Facebook, especially in/around/from the Louisville, KY area, please contact me so I can let him know.

I will update as we assess the full extent of the loss, but the dolls we're asking people to keep an eye out for at the moment are

Ringdoll K fullset edition with attached hair, NS. No outfit. Distinctive features: One magnet fell out and was put back in back upside down, so his headcap doesn't stay closed.

DIM Minimee Ruki head, NS. Distinctive features: Vampire mod.

Custom House Mina (both Saint Mina and LE Sad Mina), NS

Ringdoll Quiz, GS, fullset

Bobobie Pixie. Distinctive features: sky blue skin that yellowed to a minty color. Probably wearing green pajamas with brown airplanes made by me.

ResinSoul Yao, WS. His first doll, probably yellowed a fair bit by now. Distinctive features: a small chip on one of her horns.

DIM Minimee heads of all Gazette and Dir En Grey members. If these turn up as a lot, contact us, it's probably them.

Soom Dain

Soom Dawn

2 60cm Sweetdolls, NS

HZ WangYe head

This ResinSoul Dai and 1st gen Bobobie Apollo, probably still in these outfits

Any dolls that appear in a large group with these should be reported.

I will update tomorrow with more specifics on the missing Ringdolls and DD/DD mods when we've had a chance to sit down and assess the extent of the theft.

@okamikodomo @fullyfunctionalminiaturebeehive @buffdolls @laptopcoffee @lupusdarkmoon @lordhigheverythingelse @nyxypixie @freakstylebjd @literally anyone and everyone we've ever met in this community

Thank y'all in advance for any help, he's gutted over this and I am on his behalf. Still in shock that there are people this vile in the world.

Minimee/bjds sculpted and styled to look like real people squicks me out. Even ones that are not originally sculpted that way but owners do custom faceups on to look like a celebrity or a Kpop idol. But you don't see me arguing for cancellation of people over these or screaming anywhere it's weird or it's morally wrong because that's a real person you're making a doll of, or that it's fetishization. I just scroll past these in my IG feed (I am only in IG, and here), or unfollow/block some of the content creators that have dolls that are mostly those. We all have preferences - these are all just preferences, at the end of the day. It's not a big deal. Stop making a big deal out of other collectors' collections and curate your own feed.

Honestly I think I could cobble together an AP body that looked a lot like mine if I had the money. There’s a bigger tummy lower torso, there are saggy, small bust upper torsos, heavier thighs and calves.....

I would put my MiniMee head on it.
