it mainly comes from the cost involved in that the money most spend on them is comparable to what you would spend on a child (in terms of clothing n such) i refer to you yuki as my daughter mainly when its around other doll owners. i know some who take it further and refer to buying as adopting or fostering but i don't go that far. just have a daughter and her sister is on the way

I refer Kumi as my son sometimes. But with his story, I'm more so his guardian while being in the human world.
And on the note of getting another doll. I'm getting another one this month actually. I'm going to Katsucon and a lady there is selling dollfies. I'm hoping to get the grey skinned ResinSoul Mu.

i know one guy who makes his own clothes for dolls like really elaborate dresses its most impressive he gave one to me but haven't yet tried it on yuki due to staining risk. im gonna have a crack at making her a protective under shirt at some point so i can try it

I'm getting another one this month actually. I'm going to Katsucon and a lady there is selling dollfies. I'm hoping to get the grey skinned ResinSoul Mu. just googled it nice choice. i ordered a dollzone clovera im going to call her Amy. i like the anime eyes but id always decided if i were to get a second id like a more realistic one but had to really like it since generally i find a lot of em fall into the uncanny valley but i thought the clovera face was sweet. resinsoul mu strikes me as a cool stoic character

basically the ingredient you are looking for is Benzoil Peroxide there's a few tutorials out there on stain removal while avoiding damage to the doll

That is the type of character that I'm giving him, too. I wanted a more serious doll. My AoD Chen is the more outgoing type so I needed a balance. But then I'm hoping on getting a Dikadoll Berry girl who is Kumi's daughter. So I'll have 3 types. Outgoing, serious, and cute. o.o

I have. Not my type of anime though. Or should I say, something that I can't sit down and watch.
