I get down on my knees and pray

I’m waiting for that final moment

You say the words that I can’t say”

Does anyone know this Japanese owner’s site?

So I lost all the images and links I had collected of owner BJDs over the years. There was this one Japanese owner site that did extreme facial mods on their Isao and old F-28. They had a visual kei look. Anyone have any ideas?

The strange story of a backwards-legged doll - box opening

Someone on a bjd discord server I'm part of posted this doll - male, according to the y!j listing - and I felt sorry for the poor backwards-legged thing. Listed as a Volks SD, the doll was unidentifiable without any photos of a headplate, but I took a gamble and won the auction for ¥10100.

I asked on DoA if anyone could identify the sculpt, but because of the overexposed photos, no one was able to identify the doll. Most users agreed that it wasn't a Volks doll at all.

The box back from my proxy - I used Zenmarket with package reinforcement shipped via EMS. The packaging was incredibly sturdy but the postage cost me about as much as the doll.

The Volks box was bigger than I expected, but safe inside its bubble wrap. It still had a very strong resin smell, stronger than any of my other secondhand doll boxes have been.

The doll was too big even for what I'm guessing is a SD13 size box! I asked Zenmarket to open the box they received from the seller and wrap the doll's limbs in bubble wrap - it seems they half-understood the message.

One sad, tall doll, free from bubble wrap! The doll was much bigger than I'd expected, the tallest of my collection (previously my Isao Nanjou at 60cm).

His poor backwards-bent legs! Despite this, he's the kickiest doll I own.

Here he is next to Isao, who looks sadly yellow by comparison.

A better look at his bare head. A DoA member identified him as a Dolk x RS Doll New Evan Girl Version from 2016. It turns out that only 14 of him were ever made, and he was just sitting on y!j with bad photos for a starting price of ¥8000!

Checking the Dolk listing, his wig, shoes, dress and eyes match the listing, confirming he is this version of the doll.

A new wig and a change of eyes, and I started to see the beginning of his character - my MSD Mako's tired dad. I've named him Evander, and he's currently in SD13 clothes as he was much taller than I was expecting! Mako is wearing his default dress here.

Thanks for reading :)

So back when I was trying to make a story with the Tokyo Boys collection I made Elle’s girlfriend and the Isao siblings for plot reasons.  Which was the main reason I had wanted to make her a Volks doll and why she was shelled briefly as a Volks Liz.

Liz and Isao never really looked all that related.

Now that I’ve scrapped the story and any real need for the relation.  And changed the girlfriend to the Unon Marion.  WHY DO THEY LOOK LIKE ACTUAL SIBLINGS NOW?!
