Poofiemus Posted September 17, 2017 I once managed to singe/burn a head. It was Agatha's original 03 head; I had wiped it to give it a new faceup, but the cheap acrylics I had used on it had stained, so I figured, eh, slap some zit cream on it, stick it under a lamp to keep it warm, boom, problem solved. Well, um. Problem NOT solved: I put the lamp WAY too close to the head on accident, and the head actually started turning black in places because the vinyl burned. I coated the whole head carefully with paint, and put the faceup over that. It worked okay for a while, till said paint started coming off. But seriously, thank GOD it was Agatha's bog-standard head that I damaged, and not Nanoha's, because Agatha's I could easily replace later. And actually, I did, though the current one I wound up giving some slight mods. I guess having to cover up the singed head mistake made me more confident with modding in the long run, but more cautious with heat sources for stain treatment too. ^^;; So don't be me: stick to sunlight for stain treatment. Even Arizona summer sun is gentler than that lamp was. In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ayuuya Posted September 17, 2017 Some funny things that have happened: - On my trip to Japan my Saber Alter startled the lady who was presenting my friend and I dinner at a ryokan. She went to close the blinds or something and then saw Saber sitting on the chair and was like "Aaa! A doll!" - On the same trip the next day... I was taking a picture of Saber and Mt. Fuji... Then my friend starts laughing and tells me to look down... On the floor below us we could see a couple taking a selfie with Mt. Fuji in the background... Which means they also saw me with Saber in the window above them The photo I ended up taking www Some things that horrified me: - Saber Alter decided that my vacation was the perfect time to break her shoulder peg... After I left Japan... Thankfully I was headed to Seoul, so I was able to get her replacements... But I needed pliers to get the broken piece out so she remained armless for the rest of the trip - Whenever I find out something has left a stain on one of my girls...

Thespian Posted October 4, 2017 Not really horrific, but funny. When I went to change out my Snow Miku and Mariko's hands with the swivel wrist joints, I accidentally popped off the square swivel piece and it got stuck in one of the hands. I ended up having to use a pen with a metal pocket clip to more or less excavate it from the horror that was tight vinyl!

sinclair Posted October 4, 2017 !st time I took Miku out of town was to go see some fireworks. As I got her out of the car and started posing her to sit in a chair, her leg came loose and all floppy. I thought I broke her, but couldn't check then as she was in a body suit. Once we got back to where we were staying and got the kids to bed, the wife and I carefully undressed her and removed the body suit to check the damage. Thankfully it was just her leg peg had slipped out of the hip joint. So got her back together, and now I'm always checking to make sure all my girls' legs stay in place as they all seen to move out.

Monty Posted October 4, 2017 I usually work in an office but there are some nights each month that I run a seniors English class, which finishes kinda late. Before it was time to go I was watching TV and had Miku sitting on a box on top of the 'coffee table' between the tv and the couch. I decided to leave the TV on as a source of light because the light in the entrance of my apartment is busted and I don't really like opening the door to darkness after I get back late. Anyway when I got back I open the door and nearly had a heart attack thinking someone was in my apartment, but it was just Miku's gigantic shadow on the wall from the light of the TV... *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kinkachou Posted October 4, 2017 A week or so ago, I had my stove replaced, and once everything was said and done my landlord came in to make sure everything was alright. I hadn't had time to move the girls out of sight (Hacchi and Teke in particular) before the new oven was installed, so naturally there were lots of questions about them and their appearances. At one point, I made the mistake of saying that a few of them weren't finished yet, citing Sayuri as an example: "she's supposed to have horns..." I said, before realizing that I had just made a blunder. My landlord is a very conservative Catholic, to the point of disliking Halloween due to it's association with devils and demons and ghosts and whatever. All of my girls are some kind of demon or spirit. I realized this might not go over well. "Why is she supposed to have horns?" I gave what I hoped was a sufficient answer-- "Oh, she's an ogre." I thought using the literal translation of 'oni' would be enough, and he'd assume monster rather than demon. "What's an ogre?" I fumbled for a minute and reached for the quickest explanation I could find: "Uh, Shrek. Shrek... is an ogre. It's like that but... different." I'm so sorry for comparing you to Shrek, Sayuri Black lives matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noxxbunny Posted October 5, 2017 oh geez, I am laughing at the comparison to Shrek. I guess I have an awkward/funny story of how I almost had a horror moment. I had taken a trip up to Lake Tahoe and there was tons of snow outside. I had barely gotten the nerve to take two of my dolls with me to take photos. I was so anxious. And even then, I was even more anxious about taking pictures outside. After moping around about it for like half an hour...I finally got the guts. At this point, we were expecting the TV repair guy to come out to the cabin we rented because the box wasn't working. They gave us the typical "We'll show up between 8am-4pm" or whatever. It was still pretty early and we all know they never show up early even in good weather...until that day. The thing that saved me...I had decided last minute to put Kaito in my doll bag on my way out. As I'm going to go outside to start taking pictures because I had FINALLY convinced myself that "no one is even around" ...I open the door and I'm staring the repair guy right in the face with my bag in hand. And I am so happy all the time that I put Kaito in the bag. I keep picturing how that would've went if I had randomly opened the door to this complete stranger with a two foot anime doll perched on my arm I sort of die of embarrassment inside just thinking about it. Only because I was SO worked up at that point. Unfortunately I never did get the pictures I wanted to take either.

Mimiyo3 Posted October 5, 2017 Not exactly horrific or funny but a little weird and possibly creepy. My Miku was sitting on the edge of a counter with her lags dangling off the edge. Nothing touched her, but she rolled over onto her stomach and then fell off from there because her legs obviously weighted more than the rest of her. No idea how that happened. Present! Miku, Aria, Celia, Melody, Aveline, Rin T, Ted, Chi, Yumi, Melanie, Rin K, Len, Ea, Alter, Illya, Rachel, Aelia, Matt, Jace, & E.N.O. W.I.P. Rose, Tara Waiting Hannah, Lucy, Sonya.

deadlegato Posted October 5, 2017 True horror: When a squirrel managed to break into my apartment by destroying the wings around the air conditioner and ran up behind my dolls trying to get away from my cats. I thought between squirrel and cat the dolls were going to fly off the shelf but somehow all but one stayed. Slightly more amusing horror: I have no idea why, but my MDD girls like to lose arms in front of a particular room at a local hotel. This hotel hosts multiple conventions (sci-fi, anime) and across multiple conventions, multiple dolls have popped their arms off right in front of one particular room. The horror is realizing the arms is GONE while you're at a 5-7,000 person convention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
