Fun with promo pics!

Pullip Roundup! This does not include the minis (it would be far easier to list the ones I don't have of those anyway) but does include Namus, Taeyangs, and Dals. Byuls do not really appeal and until just recently I hadn't really noticed Isul. So they obviously aren't included either. I feel like I'm missing someone... Ah well.


2003:


  Squall and Carol. They weren't bought when they were released and instead came much later. Carol isn't officially (...you get the idea) named MA, but she really reminds me of her (the sad brows!) but mine is customized and she was free. I still can't believe that.

2004:







  Arietta, Anne, Nero, Principessa, Alice, Oren, Purezza, Panda, Fourrure, China China, and Serpent. Nameless really is called Nameless (short for The Nameless Prince) so don't get confused by the ones who never changed their names or are, in fact, actually nameless at the moment. Alice was my first Pullip, but Princi was the first one I saw in pictures and realized was a Pullip. (Serpent was the first Namu I saw and remains the only one I have any interest in at all.)


2005:





  Fanatica, Afternoon, Mercu, Jupi, Paja, Rovam, Greggia, Raphia. The transition to type 3 was not a happy one. So many awesome outfits wasted on a body that was exceptionally fragile without any payoff in terms of posing ability.

2006:










  Cornice, RIDa (yes, twins, but not purchased at the same time), Holly, Nina, Nahh-Ato, Eternia, Craziia, Papin, Brand New Purezza, Zuora, Chill. MJ, Filato, Timulus. Drta, Fiori.
   Dals and Taeyangs were introduced. I want to say the DAL promos looked one way and everyone either ordered or ran screaming and then new promos came out and people did the opposite of what they'd done before? Anyone remember? Anyway, I've grown to love grumpy Dal because she's INSANE.

2007:







  Suigintou, Stica, Suiseiseki, Barasuishou, Aquel, Uncanricky, Hello Kitty, Prunella. Rot-Chan, Jolie.


2008:




  Celsiy, Adsiltia. Hangry, Magical Pinkchan, Tezca, Milch.

2009:



  Clarity. Angry, Lizbel.

There are a couple I need to check to make sure I didn't forget but this is mostly the complete list of everyone who is currently here. Two more are on the way.


  I love my Pullips, although good lord do I have a lot. I think I liked it better when there actually seemed to be a Pullip community although I don't think I was ever fully integrated into it. I liked the snarky communities (shocker!) and I liked the way various communities came together. Ultimately I think I fell out of the habit when my AG love flared up again and when the prices for Pullips went up and the collabs also went up. So, no community, no money, and dolls that didn't interest me as much? Yeah. I checked out. It didn't help that they'd go through periods where the faceups would all be identical.

Looking back, there are a few I probably would have passed on if I'd seen what was coming later or what they actually looked like as opposed to the promo shots, but mostly I am happy with each doll. I don't think everyone can say the same.

  Anyone who you want to see more of? Ainsley, Evie, and Theresa are all wig-swappable, as is Evan, but I'm not entirely sure where the wigs are. Oh, and Scar is as well but she's not likely to actually join in because I like the wig she's got now.

Oi, z! Did you know they were re-releasing Moon, Anne, Alice, and Fanatica starting this month? (Well, Fan and Alice will be shipping sometime in early April but you get the idea)

And just to clutter up your post some more, how do you take your pictures? Mine...well, let's just say the word ass is heavily involved.

Oh and I think that new Dal Macaroon? Has teefs, yo! DAL TEETH!!

I've got two boxes converted to wanna-be lightboxes (sadly, the larger one is impossible to get to at the moment so I tried the Pullips against a blanket backdrop and my eyes are still tearing up at the way it photographed. So bright. It burns!) and this desk lamp that has a swivel base. Which means at any random time it'll remember it swivels and... bad things happen. The other 50% of the time, I just get lazy and take pictures on the metal part of my bed. Sometimes this works, sometimes the lamp is used and that works, and sometimes... well, greyscale is everyone's friend, yes?

Dal teef! Macaroon is the one that costs a kidney, yes?

All my dumb lamps seem to do more yellowing than good. I need to do the lightbox thing, but I'm too lazy to make my own and too cheap to ever buy one when I go looking.

You bet she is! *thumbs up* :D (sarcastic face) I'm massively curious now, though.

Does your camera have a white balance setting you can easily change? The one I use most often these days does and it helps keep things from turning orange, or at least not as orange as they could.

Frickin' Dal teefs cost a kidney! D:
