Thanks to kochan I found that frickart claims the Sep 09 Tae and Dal releases – “on popular demand” – will be the second Kuroshitsuji set seen on a couple of doll shows. This would mean cross-dressing Ciel and tutor Sebastian, with eyes even more evil than before. I am happy to be cured for my Kuroshitsuji craze, there’s no way I would let that Tae inside my house..! *spooked out* The Dal is cute, but I am not convinced. Too heavily into BJDs right now, any new Pullip related purchases would have to be _must-haves_..!

I’ve just arranged to adopt a Prunella, first thing when my March salary comes in, and I suddenly realized the feeling of peace and being “complete” – collector’s wise – this brought on. If I could only get a hold of a RIDa, I don’t think I will be getting anymore Pullips for quite a while. Yes, there are certainly still girls I’d love to have, but at the same time I am doing very well without them. Such a strange feeling, after a few months of adopting craziness.

Same thing goes for clothes and other accessories, actually. I got an awesome lot for my boys from an action man “killer” on eBay this week, and now I’m content, lol. Amazing.

(I _am_ getting Sebastian, though. Just not stressing it, haven’t even pre-ordered him. And I have to make a decision within the next week whether or not to pre-order Clarity, because I’ve arranged to do a split with katandpullip. Hm.)

Latidoll status: Item being prepared. 27 working days now, weekends and Chinese New Years not counted.

Sue at plasticpop.de visited the toy fair in Nuremburg last weekend, and has posted loads of pictures on Dollie Mixtures! There’s Andrew, the Neo Angelique~Abyss collab dolls, Angry, the Kuroshitsuji collab dolls, Clarity, Lizbel and Pollon. I didn’t notice before how similar Angry’s faceup is to that of Prunella! They need to be sisters! *adds doll to wishlist* And ouch, Sebastian’s wig looks like it’s going to be hard to style – I am already planning on getting him a fur wig replacement…

// Edited: Her photos are also found on flickr, for those of you who aren’t registered on Dollie Mixtures. First picture of the series, click left-wards in her main photostream (not the TY set) to see the rest.

Today, these two arrived!

My youngest, the 6 y/o, is the vinyl toy collector extraordinaire of the family, and promptly demanded to get all the Prop Plus Petit figurines – three Sebastians, three Ciels, a Grell, a William and a Lau..! We’ll see, I might get a full box, but chances are bigger I won’t. ;) Funny fact: my son is also named Sebastian, he became rather thoughtful when I told him that they share the name (right after I’d told him that butler Sebastian wasn’t really a human, hehe..).

For other Black Butler fans: there’s now a flickr group, created by yours truly! Please join Kuroshitsuji – Black Butler if you’ve got pictures of merchandise, or cosplay, or want to share your fan art. Original art and screen caps will be deleted!

Just because they’re nice to look at. :)
