It kind of sucks to not have enough money to get bodies for my floating heads. I think I grew a bit too used to when I could buy paypal funds from Singaporean owners without incuring fees. Nowadays, Singapore paypal accounts can only send normal payments, so buying pp funds off another owner and transferring them SGD isn't an option. And I've not really been making or selling doll jewelry so no income from that end, much. But despite that, I'm kind of getting into the mood for "shopping" around (more like looking around) to see what bodies I can get for my floating heads.

First is Kristolf, my Mihael head. Some drawings (kind of old) which I did, to show you what he looks like. He's kind of stocky/buff and tall. 



He can't really borrow anyone's body cos he's either too short, or too thin on those bodies.

I've been thinking of getting him a Granado Nuevo body for a while now, but saving up has been really slow :/ The alternatives were Impldoll 72cm body but that's kind of thick/even taller than what I need so...

Caillen, my Migi Cynical Ryu, I've been thinking of getting a Popodoll 68cm body but I don't hear much news about Popodoll recently so I'm not sure if they're still the same shade of NS etc...but he's kind of lower on the priority list, so I figured I'll look at it when it comes to it. Alternatively I was looking at Dikadoll 72cm body (10cm neck or was it 11? Either way, a thinner neck and shoulders than most dolls in that height range), but again, not sure if I want such a tall body hmmm...

Oh yeah, forgot to say, he's supposed to be lean and trim, not like someone who pumps iron too much, but who obviously cares about his appearances. I quite like the overall frame when he's borrowing the Akagi body but it'll be better to have more muscle on him.

Joe, my Esthy Peroth rerelease. Uhh. He's meant to be not too fit but not fat per se. Just kind of thicker, I would say, and his shoulders are not that broad (but not super narrow like Gabby lol). I kind of like him on the Volks SD13 body (resin doesn't match though):

But besides the fact that I don't particularly love the SD13 body cos it's not the best poser really, I don't want repeats of bodies if I can...And it doesn't really match either.

And I know from taking photos of him on the Akagi body that he doesn't look right on that lanky body with broader-ish shoulders :(

So... I'm really trying to find something close to SD13 or SDGr but a bit less painful on my wallet. Is there even such an option? I mean, if money wasn't an issue, I'll totally buy the SDGr and like, blush his head to match, but it's really expensive (I can probably buy Kristolf AND Caillen's body with the money), and I don't know...I can't justify spending that amount for 1 body vs 2. GAH. I can't find any options with the thickness of body and limbs except Volks but I don't want another SD13 body (which is okayish priced 2nd hand but that's not the issue :( ). I don't know man. Maybe I should just suck it up and prepare to save for an SDGr body after I'm done saving for Kristolf's body (long way away, man).

Sorry for the long rant but I forget how body woes are annoying. >_>
