Alice Star

So another thing about me is that I collect dolls.  Not regular dolls, like ones that pee and poo and drink milk from a bottle.  These dolls are very expensive, and essentially movable works of art.  They're called Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls.  Although other countries now make them besides Asian ones.  There are dolls from Holland, Australia, the USA and others.

All of my dolls happen to be Korean.

Each doll ends up being a project.  I'm not the one that does the painting of them.  I pay other people to do that.  Essentially I just like to stare at them.  If you're interested, I have my dolls all laid out at another website.

But my next project is the character of Alice from the Resident Evil movies.  Her head is made by Doll in Mind, and is a "minimee" head.  Minimee is a service they provide where you can request that the mould a doll after a certain character, celebrity, or anything else.  You can order 1-10 at a time.  The more people you have, the cheaper the head is.  Her head is obviously moulded after actress Milla Jovovich.  I may end up buying her an orange wig as well to make her be LeeLoo from Fifth Element but for now, she's just Alice.

I don't have any personal pictures, but I'm borrowing the ones that were sent to me from the artist Miriam Bos who painted her.  I'll be posting more of my own once I get her.

The eyes and wig being used actually belong to Miriam, but I've purchased some new ones for her to use when she gets in.  I'll take pictures when I get her in with her eyes and hair.  Unfortunately she doesn't have a body yet.  I am going to order her one from Doll in Mind later, I just want to make sure I don't cut myself short.  The body itself will be $311 total (which includes EMS shipping from Korea).

I'll be sure to post entire pictures of Alice when she's done.  I'm excited to have her.
