Placed the alert for Mirai and Candy. Very curious if and were they will pop up. I let you know if I discover one of these.

Thank you!  I appreciate the help!

Thank you!  I love Ryomou as a character and her doll is gorgeous to me.  She's not cheap but she's worth the price in my opinion.  I think Excellen is very underrated as a sculpt.  She can be so much prettier with just a refresh of her details!  :)

I'm a few posts behind, but I love Femi <3 You've styled her beautifully. Makes me want one of my own, I love the older girls esthetic too (The rest are cute too, she's just my favorite 😄)

Thank so much!  I really haven't done much to her factory look tho.  Those are her default eyes and wig.  The bangs come styled like that!  😄  I think it's a very retro look but still has a nice charm to it.  I'm so glad to hear you like the older girls!  I know you do already tho since you have that gorgeous Rei and your two pretty 05's.  Clise is just so beautiful!  <3 

Keep your eyes on Mandarake as I see her pop up there often.  And nowadays she seems to be at good prices too.  Mine was originally at 20,000 or 22,000 yen making her like $170 - $185 when I first saw her.  If you decide to get one I really hope you do as you'll love her wonderful little self.  :)

Kind of impressed her og wig style held up so well. (also, thanks about the girls :))

Luckily her wig was still sealed in the holder!  It had never been taken out.  Her clothing had been opened but for some reason her wig hadn't been.  So that's why it's held up so well over the years.  :) 

And HOORAY FOR YOU!!!!  <3  That's awesome!  So glad you found one!  I'm sure you'll be able to fix her up nicely and get her looking great again!  I can't wait to see what she looks like when you're done!

Time for another update!  

First up are two little ladies I adopted as a couple from another good friend up in Charlotte.  He is trimming down his collection and offered me these two pretty girls.  Of course I couldn't say no.  XD 

This is Smartdoll Undiminished!

53109362127_dfa1fe75e8_z.jpg20230604_120018 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

It seems she was a chaos only release or only released as a head or something.  He has her in cinnamon on a base body.

53109934506_2bda38aa9f_z.jpg20230604_120007 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

Of course I couldn't leave her like that, gotta put my own twist on things.  So I gave her a medium bust instead.  She kept her eyes and wig because she looks so good with them.

53149262130_bf4e02f052_z.jpg20230604_175700 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

Her name is Joy and she seems to be pretty quiet overall.  But she is very protective of the girl that came with her.  More on her in a second.

53148828061_447fd1c5c1_z.jpg20230604_175714 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

She's not into fancy clothes or anything but she seems to like fashion and the arts.

 

The girl she came with is kind of her adopted daughter.  This is Pepper.

53109934111_a3327ff03e_z.jpg20230604_113208 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

She is a Dollfie World Cup head on an MDD Mochi body in NS.

53109934446_d0ff4f47d6_z.jpg20230604_114010 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

She is also into the arts and likes painting.  Her style seems to be very eclectic.... and she likes frilly things.

53148829616_4b5eaf25d4_z.jpg20230624_073455 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

As soon as she was introduced into the doll room area, she immediately latched onto this duck and has adopted him.  She carries him everywhere now.

53149263805_8ea641a0a3_z.jpg20230624_073409 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

She's a cute girl and hangs around Joy a lot.  Hopefully she'll make more friends soon and start playing with the MDD girls more.

 

Also from the same meet I adopted Joy and Pepper from, this girl followed me home.  😄  She's named Kayla!

53109934621_bff7c9ec6c_z.jpg20230604_122526 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

At that meet we had a separate table set up for sales items.  Someone arrived while I was away taking pics and when I got back, this cutie was sitting on the sales table all by herself.

53109362467_eb7ee5ac3b_z.jpg20230604_122545 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

She's an 06 head on an older DD2 M-bust body.

53110142399_6aa334849c_z.jpg20230604_174930 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

I thought someone had left her there while unpacking so I felt bad for her being alone and sat her next to a couple of my girls.  then someone said "Looks like Billy is adopting THREE girls this meet!"  I was like HUH??

53149036089_e5781425e7_z.jpg20230604_174936 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

That's when they told me she was on the sales table because she was for sale.  I'm like great, how can I say no to such a cute little face??  LOOK AT HOW CUTE SHE IS.  LOL  Anyways, I scooped her up because she was a great price and she was adorable.  😉 

 

A little later on, my buddy in Okinawa hit me up again for an adoption.  I had always liked this girl but never went after one because other things always popped up first.  But now I had the chance to grab her so I did.  This is Smartdoll Kanata!

53148252862_513dac5e5a_z.jpg20230617_140808 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

I love how she resembles the original Kizuna with that slightly miffed look on her face!

53148829171_9d3c9cff5e_z.jpg20230617_140837 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

She had already had an upsized chest so she was pretty much perfect as is.  She is a cinnamon girl.

53149037354_7f14beaebc_z.jpg20230617_140842 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

She is now done with me taking her pics.  😛 

53149263670_817072ac3c_z.jpg20230617_192735 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

 

Lastly for this update we have one of my favorite DD heads.  A new person joined our local doll group and at his first meet he brought some things to sell.  Among them was this beautiful 05 head!  I already had a spare body set aside for a different project so when I saw this girl, I bought her on the spot.  This is Elyse!

53149325948_a28c9dd9a0_z.jpg20230625_143227 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

I adore the 05 girls and this one is just so outstanding to me.

53149264260_56c15bafb9_z.jpg20230625_143232 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

I don't know the artist that painted her but they did such a good job with colors and details.

53148253952_fca9c80ae1_z.jpg20230625_143306 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

I gave her a DDF3 body with Shapely L-bust.  It works really well for her.

53148254122_1d47edbb85_z.jpg20230625_143317 by Billy  Bennett, on Flickr

I didn't have an 05 girl with green eyes yet so I chose these for her.  And that wig jumped out at me from the wig box since it matches her eyelashes and coloring so well.  :) 

 

That's it for now!  Stay tuned for some more beautiful girls and a couple of surprises too!  😄

Hey it's not my fault these girls show up out of nowhere and ask to be adopted!  These things just happen!  😄

Thanks so much!  I figured you would like Evelyn!  I love her coloring too!  As soon as I saw her head for sale, I knew I had to adopt her.  :D

I too have lost count of how numerous our household is now.

Kayla has a really nice retro look. I only have Erica from the older gen, and I should really try her out in some different looks.

Kanata looks like the SmartDoll version of Iori.

Thank you for the compliments!  I like trying out new looks for the older girls, it really works out nicely sometimes.  But I also like leaving some of them as they came default because that older early 2000's vibe is pretty cool to me.  I like Kanata because of her slightly pissed off look.  I've got a special place in my heart for the angry looking girls.  <3

You got some lovely ladies. I wonder what your collection would be like if it increased 10 to 20 times?

Thank you very much!  I'm at 193 dolls now so if that was multiplied 10 times I'd be at almost 2000.  XD  I'm running out of space as it is, at 2000 I'd have to move out so the girls could take over the entire house!  😉

Ha ha, you are soooo funny.  😛 

But this did get me thinking about my adoption rates and how they look over the course of the 13+ years I've been in the hobby.  Let's look at the numbers shall we?

2010 - 3

2011 - 8

2012 - 7

2013 - 8

2014 - 7

2015 - 4

2016 - 6

2017 - 18  ( Damn, that was a big jump! )

2018 - 20

2019 - 17

2020 - 22

2021 - 21

2022 - 18

2023 - 35  ( Sheesh, another huge spike! )

 

So there we go, The first 7 years I was averaging 8 girls per year then it bumped up to a 19 a year average for the next 6 years.  And this year is a banner year so far with me adopting or creating a whopping 35 girls at the moment.

Adding it up I'm actually at 194 now, 2 more than I had said earlier because I forgot to add the 2 newest girls to the roster.  😄  And yes, I have one more girl on her way to me and yet another being worked on by Eblktty who I won't see until probably December due to her extensive cleanup and modification process.  So if I don't get any more after those two I'll be at 196 at years end.  That also means I'll be out of space and need to either redo the doll room to add more shelves or add actual shelves in the bedroom instead of displaying them on top of furniture like they are now.

I guess I could always take out a loan and build in the garage and turn that into the one and only doll room.... that's 600 square feet of space to go wild in.  😉

You may need to. It looks like Rei's maths were wrong. Based on those numbers this is the projection.

Year New Dolls Total Dolls
2023 35 194
2024 52 246
2025 69 315
2026 86 401
2027 103 504
2028 120 624
2029 137 761
2030 154 915
2031 171 1086
2032 188 1274

@BeyondTime  those numbers hurt my head.  I'm not sure how you got to those amounts but I can guarantee you I will NEVER have 500 dolls or more.  That's just a crazy number to think about much less 1000 or more.

PS.  I guess I need to add the rest of the girls here soon.

It was just fun in excel, there is a trick in the series feature that allows you to project a range based on the prior numbers in the series.

From the standpoint of projecting numbers based on a range of numbers, it could be done with more accuracy with the growth projections based on the ups and downs of all the the data from prior years, but that made fractions. I simplified and just used the change from 2022 to 2023, so the series assumes every year you buy 17 more dolls than you did the prior year.

It's not meant to be a serious projection.

Billy, my friend, it's been an awesome trip, watching you go from Manami, and adding Rei and Yoko and all the others. 

I recognize that you've gone far beyond and above the virtue of adopting every Kiddo that wants a Papa, or an "Elder", or just a Guardian, to give these lost angels a home, or Purpose. 

Even my own Kiddos, Tana, Maiko, and the others, have had mad inspiration from what you've done. 

You, And ALL of your Family have done a LOT to create what transpires on this site. 

I, and all of mine, salute you, Sir!!

Wow.  I can't say thank you enough for that completely amazing compliment sir.  I don't deserve it.  I'm just an avid collector that talks too much, buys too much and probably cares too much about these pretty little vinyl beings we all share our homes with.  They're my muses, my creative outlet, my friends and my babies.  Without them I couldn't have met fine people like yourself and the countless others I've chatted with and done deals with over the years.  It's definitely fun and allows me to express myself in a way I never could before.  Sure, I've had some ups and downs but the ups far, FAR exceed any issues I've had.  That's why I'm still here, still sharing and still trying to help out when and where I can because I know everyone, vinyl or otherwise, deserves a second chance.  :)

Thanks again @battrastard , you made my weekend.  <3
