White Christmas Dollfie Dream Alna has arrived!

My White Christmas Alna head finally came in today after waiting an anxiously 2 week wait. So excited to get her. However, her head was waaaaay smaller than what I expected (even though my boyfriend thought it was big to him; I think I'm just bad at judging measurement based on pictures and maybe my hands are bigger than most people I've seen who have held their dollfie dream's head in their hand). Which kind of saddened me but her friggin' adorable face just made me be like, "I love you still" in my head. My boyfriend was there taking a box opening video for me so I could remember this moment as well. ^^

I got her from a second hand person on figure fm. Very nice person and it got here safely. The custom ronronshuka eyes that she sent that came with her are kind of odd though and I don't know which way they go in yet and they don't seem like they'd be a good fit since the eyes themselves seem too big around to fit into Alna's small eye sockets. So I'm debating on putting them in or not. 🙂

Hopefully I can buy her a body sometime next month or just buy some pieces of her every week to save on just putting all my money out the door at once. XD I got a loan to pay off so I can't spend a lot~ :3

Sorry that I do not have pictures, I took 4 of them but since my post count is not over 20, I cannot post pictures or even links to them so I apologize.

But she is gorgeous. Only thing I'm not too happy with are the eyes she came with (which can definitely be fixed), and her lips (the color is just a little bit faded but I can make do because I don't want to ever send her face away to a face-up artist since I paid too dang on much for her head. XD I can't replace it. Aha).

But yeah~

That's my new arrival!

(EDIT: Oh and also, the person who sent me her was nice enough to take the head cap off and put the eyes into a small bag and into the head cap. I thought that was clever and saving me from having to pry it off. I've read so many hard times of trying to get those hard caps off! XD)

Congratulations! That is wonderful she is home finally! Alna is certainly one of the smaller heads. That could also be a factor in how it's hard sometimes to get eyes to sit right. The old head caps can be quite hard to get off because of the harder vinyl. The new ones are more convenient but the whole head is now a softer vinyl in general. I hope you can find a body for her soon. She will be so lovely whole!

Thanks for the congratulations! ^^ Yeah. I learned that she needs 20mm eyes. Hopefully I can get those soon for her. 🙂 I know it's because of the harder vinyl. All of them have hard caps if they precede May 2011 or so when Airy and Neris introduced the softer vinyl head caps. :3

It's not a matter of finding a body (I plan on getting a Dollfie Dream III body w/ M Bust), it's a matter of me being able to afford it. x3 I plan on just buying her in pieces though since buying the whole body at once will be too expensive for me right now.
