Do you ever think that such-and-such a doll would be perfect, IF....? That happens to me a lot. LOL So every now and again I stop and think about what the perfect doll (for me) would be.
I always come back to two options:
1) Diana Effner little darling doll on a body with as much poseability as a Fairyland Littlefee doll. It can have mechanical joints rather than ball-jointed ones if it's easier, and no changing out of eyes or anything, and be made of vinyl. The hands should be in a position that lets them hold props, too! It would be awesome!
2) A Littlefee with faceplates designed by Diana Effner. The set must of course come with multiple different expressions - neutral, happy, sad, angry, sleeping....all of them with faceups. This doll would fit in all the patterns I have for Littlefee, and be so much fun to photograph with the different expressions.
Which is not to say that I don't love the dolls I have, or am unhappy with them. Just that if one of those options ever became available, I'd start setting aside funds that same day. ;)
ETA: The Little Darling dolls can be found here.
I wasn't familiar with Little Darlings-but it would be the cutest doll ever.. It might even tempt me to buy a child doll-and I don't buy child dolls.
ReplyDeleteIt really would be an adorable doll, either way... :D
DeleteI think those two options sound very interesting indeed. Actually, did you know that apparently Dianna has designed a bjd? I saw a photo of it a few months back and it's also in one of the Doll Magazines. If I can find it and save it for you, I will put it on my blog.

Oh, I would like to see that! Thanks for letting me know it exists!
DeleteIs there such a thing as a perfect doll? I always wish there were more "expressions" (faceplates). Like you, I'd love to photograph dolls with different expressions. You can only do so much with the same static expression.
ReplyDeleteI had to google the Little Darling dolls as I'm not overly familiar with their style. They are quite adorable. Some of them remind me a little of the Iplehouse BID faces.
I should add a link to the Little Darlings! They have just the cutest faces... :D
DeleteSince the day I got my first sleeping faceplate, I've been gleefully hoping for a doll with lots of different expressions. Elfdoll Hana was the closest thing I've seen to that concept. :)
