Hello, this is Sea hedgehog, and you're here again on my
channel, A Jest in Sober Earnest, and I thought I would
do another BJD Addicts tag. I'm not doing these in
order, so I'm sorry in advance. I'm just doing the ones
that are interesting to me or speak to me for that day,
and I'll probably get to all of them eventually, it's just it's
not going to be in order.
So, the particular 1 I want to answer right now is, "What
do you do while you wait?" and it's mostly because the
wait has been killing me right now. I don't know if
anybody else has experienced this, and I think I have
mentioned it in another video, but
--Hey, cutie! Oh, god! [Grunts with effort]—
But I kind of feel that waiting for BJDs tends to cluster
in periods because you'll order from 1 company that has
killer wait times of a year, or 6 months, or something
ridiculous, and then you'll order from another company
that has a wait time of 4 months, or if you're really lucky,
and are ordering from a company like Resinsoul, maybe
only a month, or maybe you're buying a doll that's
secondhand and so, what happens, at least for me, is if
I have the expectation of a certain wait time, it's really
easy for me to wait for that duration of time because I'm
not expecting it to be earlier than that
--[To cat:] Hey! You're OK!—
And then once I get past that timeframe, I start getting
really antsy. So I have some dolls up here to serve as an
example, and I think I'm going to have to set this kitten
down because now she's unhappy.
She does this thing—She's always very happy, but she
does this thing where her mouth will stay open when
she's trying to run away. I guess her mouth isn't really
open right now. But it was.
So I'm going to set her down and replace her with a
doll—[to cat:] You're OK!
She's like, leave me alone!
So in particular, I have a lot of things that I'm waiting for
right now. I was really bad. But also, being bad is sort of
based on perspective because I did order—
[Cat is trying to eat camera. Tries to catch cat]
these dolls, I don't know, some of them have been
5 months ago, and I haven't—
[To cat: Staaaahp!]
And I haven't heard anything. So I'm waiting for this doll,
and it's all sort of odds and ends. So this is—and, there
goes the head.
This is what happens when you use neodymium
magnets for things. It turns out that your magnet ends
up being stronger than the head magnet, and so when
you move the wig, the headcap preferentially goes with
the wig instead of staying attached to the head.
So this is my UniverseDoll De'Ath head on a FantasiaDoll
Muscle body, and I also have the other De'Ath head that
I dyed using a dye resist technique so that there's white
and tan. They both started out white. And then I
modded an open mouth mod here, because that's my
favorite.
But this doll, in particular, so she has a skull head from, I
forget what the company was called, like ArtWorks or
something? (no: Anatomy Tools) So it's a 1/3rd scale
human skull. But I kind of have an ambitious modding
project for her.
So what I want to do is make this body kind of like a
Fairyland body in that certain body parts will be
removable. So I'm actually going to change the stringing
so that you can like—I don't know exactly how I'm going
to do this—I don't know if I'm going to do this with insets
into the shoulder, but somehow make the arms
removable and magnetic because I've actually ordered
her the CharmDoll Jonasson body.
That is the: it's basically just like a spine and a torso
with skeleton arms, and then I'm going to pass along
the head to someone else. The reason I bought the
whole thing is because it ended up being cheaper to buy
though Taobao than to split with somebody, which just
shows you how ridiculously more expensive buying
from the international market it is when you buy
particularly a Chinese Doll. (May be cheaper in Korea for
Korean dolls too, but Taobao is not a Korean thing.)
So I already split the accessories, like the swords
and cr*p that I didn't want. But what I really wanted was
the spine, the humerus (upper arm), radius, ulna (lower
arm), skeleton hands, [spine], what other components
were there? I think there was a pelvis, but I don't know if
I'm going to be able to use it, although I might.
I'm not entirely sure how you would go about doing that.
I may have to use the pelvis actually, because I might
actually have to articulate the legs to the pelvis. Unclear.
But basically the idea is that she's going to be pretty
modular. And I kind of have to investigate how possible
this is once I have the body. But it's killing me to wait
because I really want to keep working on her because I
think that she has a very compelling, very enchanting
features.
She is very my aesthetic, if you can see; she's more
handsome than beautiful. And I don't know that I
necessarily have particularly defining characteristics
of beautiful versus handsome.
There's a ruggedness or sharpness to her features that I
like, which is probably why I'm drawn to traditionally
male sculpts versus female ones. But I think it's less of
a, "I'm more drawn to masculine aesthetics" than a "I'm
more drawn to mature aesthetics."
Because particularly in the BJD hobby right now, I kind
of feel like the male sculpts end up looking more mature
than the female sculpts, who have like a doe-eyed, so
large eyed, small chin, small mouth, small nose
aesthetic that I'm not so much of a fan of.
I mean, this doll, she has an aquiline nose and very
deep-set, hooded eyes, and a rather prominent chin,
cheekbones, and jaw, which I like.
And I just, I really want to have a modular skeleton
character, and CharmDoll's average wait time was like
4-5 months and it's already been FOUR months and it's
killing me! Just a little bit!
So that is my struggle. 1st world problems. Another 1st
world problems for these 2, and I'll bring this girl down. I
ordered a bunch of accessories from Dollshe. So I
haven't done anything about the hands, and the hands
s*ck, so I need to. I need to make a Doll Legend order,
but I'm waiting for the [winter] holidays for the hands to
be less expensive. The jointed hands.
But I bought her new feet through Dollshe because
these feet s*ck, because she's a fantastic match for
Dollshe Fresh: this is a PhoenixDoll Liu with an open
mouth mod on the NobilityDoll Muscle Female Body.
And so, I ordered her new feet, the Dollshe old 26F feet
for the Ausley Love body, and then along with that I
ordered—gosh, what else did I order?—I ordered 18M
Mystic body flip flop feet for my Dollstown 18years male
body because I feel like they have baby hands and feet.
I don't know, Dollstown, I just can't stand their hands
and feet. Their bodies are beautiful, but their hands and
feet are childish and it kind of creeps me out.
And then, for this doll up here, I ordered an Ausley Love
26F bust in fresh skin, the small bust, and I'm going to
hack it off, hack off the back of it, and magnetize it like
Secernere['s body], so there's a removable bust
attachment to this doll, that way I don't have to mod the
chest piece and don't have to worry about blushing over
Milliput [epoxy clay].
This is sort of my compromise in modding such that I'm
not doing horribly destructive things to a Timeless body;
although, I did do pretty destructive things to the
Timeless body. So those are the 2 that are really killing
me.
The last 1 is I'm waiting for a Soom Morga head in the
mail. It's going to come with the body and the outfit,
because I couldn't buy it alone. Those are going to move
on, the head's going to stay with me. And although I only
bought it at the beginning of this week, I am so excited
for this head to get home.
It will be a replacement for Kore's head which is an
OrDoll Anderl head right now. I need a smaller scale
head and the Soom Morga has very similar features. But
I've had a Want to Buy on the Den of Angels
Marketplace for like a year and a half it feels like. Maybe
only a year. But it's been a while, and finally someone
answered it.
And so, I am so ready to have this home. I never thought
I would be able to have this. I so regret not buying from
Soom when this doll came out because it probably
would have been less expensive, but I had so many
things going, and I hadn't really sold anything major yet
in the BJD hobby, and so I didn't want to get into it, and
so I missed out on a very distinctive sculpt, and I feel
like Soom hasn't had anything that remotely approaches
that aesthetic since. So those are kind of my big waits
in the hobby. And it's like, I have all this cr*p coming
home, like goodness gracious, Sea Hedgehog!
But I also have been waiting like 6 months for some of it
and Dollshe is not coming anytime soon, so that kills
me.
I think, I guess I haven't even answered the prompt, like
"What do you do when you wait?" and it's probably
because I don't really have a good answer. I scroll
Instagram for owner pics. I plan out meticulously what
I'm going to do, so in the case of the Morga, I'm like, "I
want these parts/I don't want these parts/I'm going to
charge X amount of money for the body and X amount
of money for the outfit."
For the different customizations that I have, I plan out
everything. I've got the magnets for this; I've got the
Dremel; I know I'm going to separate the toes for the
feet that I got her; etc.
So it's just planning over and over and over and over
again, and looking up owner pics over and over and over
and over again, and especially dolls that I'm waiting for,
so like the CharmDoll Johanson—Jonasson.
Why do I keep saying Johanson? Whatever. Jonasson.
Probably because Jonasson is not a name, or at least,
I'm not aware of it being a name. It could be a name. I
guess they made it a name.
I keep searching Instagram and Facebook because the
arrival pictures have started showing up, and so I'm
trying to look through like, "When did you order? When
did you comment on X thread that you ordered this
doll?" to try to figure out how far they are in the
fulfillment process.
Like, I think I ordered in May and the doll was released in
April, late April and so I hope we're to the early May/late
April fulfillment—like space in line in the fulfillment
process so that mine can come home sooner.
And then, there's also the fact that I ordered it off of
Taobao [through a Taobao agent], which means that it
has to go through them [the agent], and then they have
to inspect it, and then they have to contact me, and then
I have to approve it, and then I have to get it sent to me.
The plus of that is that I can send it EMS, and so it will
arrive in like 2 days.
But it's a process. It's such a process. And it kills me
right now because there are so many things that could
be coming home, but they're not.
And the Dollshe—I talked about how earlier that it's
easier for me to wait if I'm not expecting it to come
home. There's no timeline on the Dollshe, which makes
it harder I think. He doesn't follow a reliable timeline. I
think last time I waited 6 months for feet, or something
stupid.
But...I think part of the reason it frustrates me is I have
so many bodies that could be complete if they had the
Dollshe part, and so it kills me to have to wait for those
parts to come in.
And I think I mentioned in another video—or maybe I
didn't! Ooh! This is weird. Where you have like déjà vu
over something that probably didn't happen.
So I think I was talking in a forum about this, but even
beyond all of this waiting, the absolute hardest thing for
me to wait for is when I have no deadline/timeframe. So
like the BoyPink/Xdissipation Female Muscle Body that
actually looks like a muscular female body, like smaller
breasts, very muscular chest, [lack of hourglass
proportions], like not traditional female aesthetic, that
body has been hanging in limbo with no joints for years
now and has not progressed.
And it's not even really that I'm putting blame on the
artist, it's more just like, even if I had a timeline, and the
timeline was like 5 years, it would still make it easier
than, "Have you progressed? Have you moved on this
body?" I don't know. Like, I will buy it; I will give you my
money, but it's not even ready yet.
And then another 1 is I have a particular head that I'm
interested in purchasing from AngelsDoll and possibly a
body, but he's revamping the body and he also promised
to revamp the head—it's an AngelsDoll Lucia. I think I did
talk about this—to make it without elf ears, and I really
want it without elf ears.
So, I either have to sand off the elf ears, having bought
the head now, or wait. And so I've been waiting, and I've
been very good about waiting, but there have been no
updates and there's also been no orders for AngelsDoll,
so it's unclear to me whether the company is still
functional, which is disappointing because the company
has already gone, like disappeared for several years, and
so I don't want to have not bought it before the
company disappears again. I don't know.
So that's hard. Another 1 is the ImplDoll, their new—is it
MSG? It can't be MSG, that's monosodium glutamate. Is
it? I don't know. Wait, what is it? TGB, so it's probably
MGB.
Yeah. Impldoll MGB, not MSG. MGB. They have like a
shrug your shoulders body that I really like, but I want it
to be muscular, and they were like, "Ooh, we'll consider it
if there's enough interest, and there's been like 10
people commenting, "We want the muscular female
body with the shrugging shoulders," and so they're like,
"Ehhhh, we might do it," so I'm like "Make a decision, I
want it now!" So that's also very hard. I've got no
recommendations for that. Like, I can't even creep
Instagram for that. These companies barely update
[Impldoll is better], so you're just like, "Ehhh." You've got
to focus on other things.
So that is my very 1st world problems crisis. It's not
even really a crisis, but frustration, recurrent frustration
that I am 100% responsible for getting myself into. I
think that's my answer to that prompt. Bye!
