Samurai and DL2, come out to play...Irontech 168 Ayumi Anime
Welcome, the newest addition to our doll family. Anastasia's and Anya's newest BBF. Ayumi Anime....When I saw that TS10208 was selling her, I could not resist to join the Irontech 168 group. I literally just got her home, unpackaged and dressed. Just so I could get one group photo before I head to bed.
PS, I'd be impressed if you recall the movie clip above. That scene is iconic from a 1979 cult classic.

I am working on a special dispensation for a fantasy style doll. Ayumi just looks too good.
BTW, Carrie has a nice wardrobe.

Thanks TS10208, she did get a little beat up from FedEx. They must of placed the box upright with her neck toward the floor and feet at the top. Eventhough you wrote instructions on the box.ts10208 wrote:Glad she made it across the country. My new living situation puts a damper on my doll ownership.

BTW, Carrie has a nice wardrobe.
The tear at the neck is covered by her head, so just the mark on her shoulder that can be smoothed out with a hot air gun. Everything else is in perfect condition.
Her head and face in excellent condition.
Her hands and feet in perfect condition.
You took real good care of this doll for the time you had her. Hope you stick around to check out her photo shoots. Oh yeah, Carrie having a nice wardrobe is a hugh understatement. She will be one of the best dressed dolls on this planet. This dolls measurements are as close to Carrie as any doll out there.
Thanks again, and we will take real good care of her.

Re: Samurai and DL2, come out to play..........
Yeah, that's exactly what they did. No worries, that tear is completely covered by her head. So just the shoulder scrap, which all my dolls have. Heck, even all my ex girlfriends have shoulder scars as I am a past competitive cyclist and triathlete as was many of my ex's. Bicycles crashes are a given. As for dolls, a fall is a given.ts10208 wrote:Looks like they dropped her on the wrong end.
Overall, she is pretty pristine, I take it that you did not move her around much as her feet are perfect, no abrasions.
Also, kudos to you for pricing right for a quick sale. I constantly look at the TDF doll for sale forum. $800-900 is the sweet spot in today's market for a doll in near new condition. So many people out there trying to sell for just a bit under what they purchased. They just sit for weeks with no offer. Doll owners need to realize that the moment she is in your possesion she has dropped 50% immeditately.
Anastasia is coming up on a year old and she has a fair share of nicks and cuts from constantly taking her outdoors. If I had to sell her, I would probably sell just for cost of shipping. That won't happen as I would just dress her up and pose her within the house as an art piece.
Ok, I done rambling. Hope all goes well with your endeavors for a fantasy doll. I will be looking for your posts.
Take care,

Re: Samurai and DL2, come out to play..........
Thanks Samurai, it's all in good fun. Waiting for DL2 to chim in, here. I think the next thing I might be doing is photo sets with multiple dolls, whether it is outdoor or indoor. Haremlover is the only one that I have seen do 3 or more doll story lines, unless there is one I have not seen of the forum. I have seen a Japanese doll owner with 20 dolls, do multiple doll shoots, but they are all in wheelchairs and not posed in a natural setting.Samurai wrote:Congrats Panther68 Oh i am going to be watching what you do with this lady very closley , well ok maybe not that close

I found a different wig that transformed her looks. You and Samurai did much the same thing; it's all about the bangs.
Too much forehead showing is not as attractive.

It will eventually happen, but I don't hold my breath. She likes to have control of the shoot as she only wants to edit them before letting me post. Not worth it to me. I shoot candid and raw. No photoshopping. This the main reason I shoot doll rather than women. I do have a collage of shots of her with Anastasia.ts10208 wrote:They look great together. Maybe Carrie can get into a group shot too. After all, the dolls owe her.
Also, just got back from an excellent morning shoot with all 3 of the large dolls. We hit San Francisco. Aquatic Park and the Place of Fine Art. Man, such a workout carrying 3 dolls to and fro the minivan. Will post later this afternoon.
As for now, back at home for something to eat and a wardrobe change...
Then it will be just her and I in the Miata for one more shoot. I do most of my photography on Saturday, an all day affair.

I remember when my doll got delivered and the delivery guy stood her up on the head end, I thought nothing of it until I opened the box up. Would be nice if the manufacturers made the box slightly longer with padding over both shoulders so if they do stand it up on the wrong end the weight goes on the shoulders not the neck bolt.

Thanks Arthur, she poses very well. Yep, I did it on my own, at two locations in San Francisco. After the wardrobe change, I said screw it, I'll wait till tomorrow. The first set was OK at Aquatic Park. The second set much better at The Place of Fine Arts.Arthur1960 wrote:Well your new gal seems to have made herself at home! I don't know how on earth you have managed to do a shoot with all 3 gals on your own! You must have been exhausted at the end! Well like everyone else following your thread I shall look forward to seeing the results and maybe it will give me the kick up the back side I need to get out on the road with a couple of my gals!
True dat.. I saw that you sold Samurai one of your dolls. Curious, how he will photograph her. I do keep an I eye on the for sale forum, that's how I got this beautiful doll.PaulDenton2001 wrote:Sexy ladies! Got a family going now.
