List price is $68 retail, plus $7 shipping (for continental US).
Thanks for looking!
When I get a new doll, I have to completely redress her and see how she looks in different outfits (and wigs and eyes, if she's a ball-jointed doll). I haven't switched out her eyes (yet), but here's Morphoa, my newest Doll-Zone SD-sized girl, modeling an outfit by Michele Hardy, bohemian shepherdess style, in a mohair wig.
My very first Elfdoll has arrived, and I don't think she will be my last! She's adorable.
Kai is a flower fairy. She's a full set, including the dress with attached feather wings, face-up, eyes (3mm--one blue, one brown), and wig, which still needs to be attached to the head cap properly.
She stands 14cm tall (about 5.5 inches). She's slim, but has a miniature woman's shapely body. And she also includes magnetic feet--these white shoes and a set of bare feet--which are at the same time simple to change and stay on securely. She also came strung with closed-fist hands, and included a pair of open hands as well.
I was examining how her wrist joints work--I had never before unstrung a doll (and wasn't planning on starting on one so tiny)--when I accidentally unhooked Kai's right hand. The elastic crept up the wrist ball joint, but I caught it before her entire arm came unstrung. I was able to get another (right) open hand hooked back on, as well as the wrist ball joint (thankfully, right side up, on the second try). After the experience, I've decided I'd better learn about restringing dolls, and soon!
I bought her from Lone Star Dolls, who I highly recommend. The doll was not only in stock on Monday, she shipped the same day, and I received her today (Wednesday)--free shipping, too! And she even included an extra wig, for free. I recommend this store highly, and will definitely be ordering again--probably sooner than I should.
See more photos with Kai, including a few posed with Sky and Morphoa (my SD-sized dolls), for a size reference on my Mobile Me gallery. She's so cute! You can even see more extreme photos of her box opening, too.
Finally, Morphoa, my first Doll-Zone SD-sized BJD, has made her arrival. You can check out my box-opening photos here. (Sure, it's a little out of control.)
After waiting so long, I was afraid I wouldn't be as thrilled with her as I would have hoped, and I was also afraid her red eyes and flower tattoo would scare me a little. But I shouldn't have worried: it was love at first sight!
Morphoa is 58cm (almost 23 inches) tall, and she's a white-skin doll, and her eyes are 18mm. She has double-jointed elbows and knees, which is different from my other SD-sized doll, a Peak's Woods Sky. Morphoa can touch her face, cross her arms, and keep her arms posed easily without assistance, right out of the box. Plus, kneeling and sitting poses are easy for her as well.
Her outfit is a little over the top--she has white puffy bloomers with coral and purple trim, a strapless zip-back babydoll top with bells and bows on the front, a collar with chiffon trim, a pair of sleeves with bells and ribbons, striped socks, platform shoes with ribbon ties, and a lace-trimmed petticoat. Her long pink wig is the only part of the outfit that leaves anything to be desired--the bangs look a little thin, but it can be worked with and styled.
The doll also included an extra pair of high-heeled feet, which is nice, and I love the shape of her fingers and elegant hands. Her pale skin is longing for some blushing, though! I just can't wait!
You can see more photos on my Mobile Me gallery. Enjoy!

Ever wonder where to find out about all the dolls Tonner has ever made? Well, Tyler Wentworth's archive is now up and functioning again! Check it out--all ten years are up, including some one-of-a-kind dolls, centerpiece items, and limited edition dolls I don't remember seeing before. But keep in mind, I'm a mother of four, and I may just be losing it!
Sydney as Guinevere. There's finally an official Tonner photo of her, and she was a Tonner Club exclusive!
R&D Fashion Dolls is a great international site where you can find Jenny dolls, like my Birthday Club doll. While she is no longer available, you will be able to find others (including other Club dolls, at much cheaper prices than what I paid on Ebay, I should add).
My first Takara Jenny has arrived, a 2005 Birthday Club doll. She's a limited edition of 1000 dolls, and I found her on Ebay. Her arms and legs are wire-framed, so she poses a bit like Gumby. I think it will take me a while to figure out how to pose her naturally.
Of course, she's in my collection because she looks like Alice in Wonderland. And yes, she has variegated blue hair. Her face is very anime-looking. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but I find it quite cute in real life.
Her outfit is surprisingly detailed--with ribbons and lacing in the front. And her shoes are fun--platforms that lace with ribbon. And she needs a birthday crown. She's about the same size as a Barbie--maybe 10.5" tall or so.
You can see more photos of her on my Flickr account or full-size photos on my Mobile Me gallery. Have a great weekend!
She's a Barbie-sized doll, or 1/6 sized, BJD by Soom, called Aren. With a face-up, her price is $310, but she's gorgeous. She wears 8mm eyes, and includes a random wig.
My wish list of Tiny BJDs is growing rapidly! (I really shouldn't be spending so much time on Den of Angels, browsing through the fabulous photo galleries...) Here are the current top four candidates:
The Alice head sculpt by Alice in Labyrinth is available as a head and body combination in a second run. And she is now also available in a painted or blank version.
I'm starting to fall in love with this girl. This is Taking A Letter Monica Merrill, purchased as a split from www.dreamcastledolls.com. I just got her outfit (also as a split), SoHo a Go-Go. Together, they are divine!
I have to admit, I didn't really like her at first. But with the outfit, she really makes a statement. She's quite an interesting character--reminds me a little of the original 18" Kitty Collier (also by Tonner Doll Company) with her brown acrylic eyes. My doll has rooted red hair, set in a perfect up-do. She stands 16" tall, and she uses Tyler Wentworth's regular bendy-wrist fashion body (with convertible flat/fashion feet), so they can share clothes.
The outfit is very well made. The princess-seamed halter dress is made from chartreuse satin and ties behind Monica's neck. The fun feathered jacket has an over-sized satin bow on the collar. Matching opera length gloves, glass bauble earrings, detailed bow pumps and pantyhose complete the look.

I've redressed Harmoni (and changed her sad little eyes to brown) as Alice, and also my exclusive Mod Alice (Uniti sculpt) as the White Rabbit (well, sort of), using a combination of outfits by Michele Hardy. Both dolls are 12-3/4" resin BJDs by Berdine Creedy. I also straightened out Uniti's eyes a bit.
You may not be able to tell from these photos, but I've blushed Harmoni. And Uniti will be next, as soon as I refill my sealant supply. It's easy and fun, using pastels. I love the effect!
Tea party accessories are by Rement. I think the petit fours are a Tiny Kitty accessory, from the Christmas Hat Box gift set.
You can see more photos on Flickr, and there are larger photos posted on my Mobile Me gallery.
Oh, can you guess who is dying to add this doll to her collection, and is so sad, since she sold out?
Three new Twilight™ character dolls have been released and are available for pre-order from your favorite Tonner Doll dealer. (I missed these in the Fall/Holiday release somehow.) Each doll is a LE 1000 and retails for $179.99. The line contains three new sculpts:
