An update on the Mio situation

I heard back today about what can be done in regards to me receiving the wrong head in the group order. It’s not an optimal solution, but it is not a bad solution. The group order organizer said she would buy the head from me and then I could try to order the Mio head again the next time she hosts a group order. In the end I’m glad that I won’t be out $100, but I am also disappointed in not getting the correct head. I really appreciate what the group organizer did for me though. I would tell you who they are on DoA so you can join in any of her group orders without worry, but I’m worried it might be an invasion of privacy so I’ll just leave it at this.

At this point I am not sure what to do about my SD sized girl plans. I already have the Zaoll body (and head) which has been in it’s box since the box opening. The thought has crossed my mind to just sell her while she is still new and forget about SD sized dolls. Though that would mean I would have a very lonely Mudoll Ash…and my Danbi rarely comes out of his box. ^^;;; On the other hand I feel I haven’t given the SD sized dolls a fair shake. I don’t have the necessary stands to display them, nor the space, which is why they hang out in boxes. To compound issues I just found some more lovely and mature looking MSD sized dolls at Withdoll. So now I’m feeling even more than I should just stick with MSD and round out my ranks there…As you can see, I’m just waffling all over the place, so I probably shouldn’t make any dolly decisions for a while.

No Mio, so sad and frustrated…. TAT

As I blogged about earlier, I was expecting a Mio head to turn my Zaoll into a hybrid. I thought she had arrived today, but no she didn’t, I was SENT THE WRONG HEAD! It’s like after waiting for over a month to get my head from this group order, and then for it to be the wrong head I mean it really wrecked my day and potentially my whole weekend. I even laid in extra supplies to do a face-up next week. I just feel so defeated right now.

I already sent a PM to the group order organizer on DoA to see if anything can be done, but as of right now I have yet to hear back. I really hope that I can send it back and that a new head can be sent in it’s place even if I have to pay extra shipping, because it’s better than wasting another $100 on ordering a new head, PLUS the additional EMS shipping charge on top of that.

I believe looking at the sculpt that I was sent the Miso sculpt and not the Mio sculpt, and no offense to Miso owners, but I do not like her sculpt, she is not to my taste. Besides that I just really really really want my Mio. *lays down and cries*

The Dolly Wishlist – Dollmore Mio

mio

I’ve had my eye on Dollmore’s Youth Eve Mio for quite a while. I love her sweet face and distinctly Asian look. I’m also a bit of a sucker for dolls with open mouths and teeth parts as well. What has prevented me from buying her in the past has been the fact that she is a 60cm doll, and as much as I love my MuDoll Ash, the big dolls are a bit too large for my tastes. This being said however I have always wanted to have a male and female pair of that size, sounds crazy right? XD

Another doll I had taken an interest in on the Dollmore site is Zaoll Luv as I find their body sculpt fantastic and there has always been something about the dreaming love sculpt with the purple eyeshadow and pink hair that has drawn me to it. Also interesting about the Zaoll is the size of the doll. They don’t have the impossibly long legs and have more human proportions. This got me to scheming then of possibly creating a hybrid of Mio on a Zaoll body. I’ve researched the topic and was pleasantly surprised to find that there are others who have already done the very same thing I want to do but with various other Dollmore heads and non Dollmore heads. The only roadblock is that apparently Zaoll’s resin is supposed to be a little pinkier than the Eve heads, but that seems easily remedied by a good face-up.

All this being said, I am strongly considering a Zaoll/Mio hybrid for what will probably be my one and only SD13 sized girl. This will probably also be the first doll that I order blank without face-up since I have a specific style of make-up in mind. This probably won’t be happening for a while though as I just bought my first DSLR (yay!) and there are a few other things I want to get squared away first. So for now Mio is just high on my wishlist. 🙂
