impyWith the likely impending archival of the NOLA girls and the likely retirement of Ruthie and Ivy*, I've been reconsidering my AG plans. I'd originally planned on buying Isabelle's Studio because I am clearly insane. However, after careful consideration, I have begun to alter the plan.
I don't trust AG not to pull a #4 move and yank MG and then never use the mold again. I'd hoped they'd do another sale but I don't really feel like playing chicken on this and ebay is being really rude about MG. (No, you fools, I will NOT pay more than retail for a doll you paid $60 for. NO.)
So. I don't need two identical MGs, right? Right. Thus I need a doll whose wig I want to put on MG's cute little head. Preferably one who would look cute in an altered version of MG's wig because I only want to set fire to so much money, y'know?
This means all classic mold dolls are out. The MG mold that made me fall in love with MG at all is:
And this would be easy enough to recreate. Just get #53 and swap wigs. I could curl MG's wig and #53 would be pretty similar to Rebecca then only with looser curls and brown eyes.
I also considered swapping #28 and poof, instant longer haired not!Marisol.
But I think I'd prefer a blonde MG. *muse*
Soooo... I think I will make a very NOLA centric order shortly. MG, CeCe's parrot set, another set of the crinoline/chemise, MG's nightgown and this is where I get a little fuzzy. I could see if I'm brave enough to call and do this order over the phone and try to order Cecile's necklace. Or I could order the accessories and just rarely use the hat (but I do think it's cute) and never use the gloves because doll gloves usually look stupid. If I went the necklace only route, I'd throw in Ruthie's pajamas or the new blue dress for the MyAGs.
*- Of my not so small army, currently the only dolls still available from AG are ALL *probably* goners this year. D:
In other news, who knew getting my credit shredded by the car place (who then denied me anyway) would be an ongoing series of reasons to not look forward to the mail? I swear, at least once every four days I get something related to all the reasons they said no. Which would be bad enough the first three times, but now it's like they're just having everyone say no. WTF? I get it, you said no. It burns my biscuits because you lot are the same people who hand out cars to people who've had four cars repo'd in as many years but still.
Stop telling me all the reasons you said no. I got it the first four times.
(Also, it's hilarious to see all the different numbers used as my credit score.)

They seem to be just clearing house on all the historical stuff, not just these potential retirees. So maybe the plan IS to just give them all one or two big sets of an outfit and set and cycle them out?

Date: 2014-03-09 09:58 pm (UTC)Are you getting #53 just for the wig? Have you looked around to see if you can find a third-party one for a decent price?
And #61 is still looming on the horizon, too. I may bite on Sam since I don't have an old one and if she's limited as well...

Date: 2014-03-09 10:13 pm (UTC)I'm honestly not sure which of the two I'm most looking forward to seeing being done. They'll both be super pretty if I don't bork up the wigs, I think.
61... damn you, 61. I can't wait for her though. I want to scalp her and... I dunno, use her hair for nefarious purposes.
