atrika Posted February 23, 2012 I signed sometime ago, and forgot that I didn't do an intro! Bad me! I'm also atrika on DoA! I recently got acquired a DDS Ms. Mariko, so excited but so anxious, afraid to get her out of plastic! A long time ago I had a Yukino for awhile, but got frustrated and sad when stain starts to form. I thought DDs aren't for me, but everytime I look at owner pictures or new ones coming out, it just drives me crazy! So wish me good luck with my Mariko, and hope we make more friends in doll world!

Kumi Posted February 23, 2012 Welcome here and congrats on Mariko Stains are bad, but other factors compensate much more over it. Like cuteness overload Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carmen171 Posted February 24, 2012 Hi and welcome to the forum. Don't worry you are not the only one afraid of stains...we all are, just have to be careful. I keep my dolls naked and stored when not playing with them...that is the only way I can relax!

I love your pink rabbit! yes she is still naked, still in the plastic she came in! it's going to sound weird, i long to touch her skin and put wigs on her, but because Mariko's skin is pretty white than Yukino, i told myself to wait until i get protection! lol Aoife ✙ Tae ✙ Miya ✙ Usami ✙ Misaki ✙ Makina ✙ Yume Kanae ✙ Kanon ✙ Subaru ✙ Juri ✙ Aya ✙ Megu-tan ✙ Kureha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atrika Posted February 25, 2012 Hi there, congrats on Ms. Mariko!Have you tried using a body stocking? That may help prevent staining. im still shopping for body stocking, and i know im being silly and picky, am wondering if there's all over body stocking? i found this one on ebay, im not sure if it fits since DDS is a lil shorter? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&item=350479451284&nma=true&rt=nc&si=YJ%252FQNLoFwbrmzK2xBTg7spqMPwI%253D&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc#ht_3402wt_1180 if you have suggestion which company has best body stocking, please recommend! ty very much. i check volks usa seems like the one i wanted is out of stock!

atrika Posted February 25, 2012 Welcome here and congrats on Mariko Stains are bad, but other factors compensate much more over it. Like cuteness overload you are very right! because of cuteness, i took a plunge and was very super happy when i won mariko from volks jp! it is a lil more expensive from volks usa (i dont know why?) when she arrived i was sucked into spirals of DD smiles! The SDs are never quite like them! Aoife ✙ Tae ✙ Miya ✙ Usami ✙ Misaki ✙ Makina ✙ Yume Kanae ✙ Kanon ✙ Subaru ✙ Juri ✙ Aya ✙ Megu-tan ✙ Kureha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
