My TV shelving has now taken a darker turn:



Got my Little Apple Dolls box yesterday and it's so awesome! I can't believe I almost didn't buy them. >_< Sooo glad I lucked out into that. I was watching one auction for a single one and then decided to search to see if she showed up cheaper and that lot had just been listed for $150 BIN w/ $15 shipping. It was more than I wanted to spend in one shot, but the overall savings was phenomenal. And it turns out there was actually 18 dolls in there so each one is only $9.16! One's a dupe too, so Mom's buying her off of me for that price. Didn't think she'd like them, but she has always judged the dolls more by their clothing than face.

They also came with all their books, apples and masks. Only one card, unfortunately, which is too bad since they have pretty pictures and I probably can't even download them somewhere considering how hard it's been just finding the dolls. Which I need to do again, because I have no idea which mask goes with which doll, so that's going to be another broody myssery to solve. Luckily there's only 9 and I've already tracked down 5 of them.

After unwrapping them and clearing a place, I just wanted to get them out of the box, so no individual pics at this point in time. If there's anybody you'd like to see more of, just let me know and I'll do a photoshoot since there's too many for me to choose from!




Series 1: Circe, Sine, Umbrae



Series 2: Mentis, Irae, Erro, Animula



Series 3: Sanem, Vates, Triginta Tres, Oneris, Atrum



Series 4: Elysia, Sine of Souls



Series 4: Timor Balatro, Lethe



Limiteds: Mirari, Ianua



I was surprised by Lethe, since she has red eyes and some gray spackling painted on her. I almost thought she was an attempt at a custom at first! She also has ropes on her legs to remind me of Fatal Frame.



Sanem's bloody/vein thing:



Didn't get pics of Vates, but the hands are painted on her as well.

And just for fun here's the masks:




So all I'm missing is the two from Series 5: Nix and Oscen and 4 of the limiteds: the Twins (which I can get for a pretty good price when the CC turns over), Solus and Praeses. If you guys see any of them, let me know, please! Since I'm so close at this point, I might as well try for them all, though I think the rest will be a bit difficult since the only one I've seen on ebay is Praeses.

They're gorgeous but are they in your bedroom? I'm not one to be freaked out by dolls watching me sleep but these ones might do the trick! XD

I especially love Sine of Souls, Animula (is she in the red with the beanie?), Timor Balatro, and Lethe. Lethe's face is very cool. Do the masks go over their faces? I've love to see some pictures of them wearing them.

Haha, that would be a bit too creepy. They're in the living room so that they can unnerve visitors instead. I thought I would be more creeped out having them stare at me while I watch TV, but they're actually not too bad.

Those are some of my favorites, too! Yup, they can wear the masks. Once I get them all matched up, I'll take pics of the ones that wear them! Thanks!

What a deal!!!!

They're so beautiful! And super creepy, but that just makes them all the more delightful, right? <3

Gods, you're going to get me started on a Little Apple Dolls collection. =)

You totally should! I'm actually more enamoured of them, rather than creeped out. Their stories are really interesting, too, and make them more relatable since they're usually pretty bad circumstances surrounding little girls. I was thinking about transcribing them if people were interested.

I just wanted to let you know that everything I know about this hobby, I know from trying to decipher your LJ.

lol Yay? I'm glad that the non-doll people at least try instead of just glossing over 90% of my posts at least. :D I'd actually be curious to hear your take on it, since I have the feeling it could be mighty hilarious.

*grabby hands*
They have the best clothes!

I know, I was kind of disappointed that the faces are mostly all the same, but the clothes totally make up for it!
