Amazing Wigs by Anthony of Hawaii

Earlier this evening Anthony Hawaii posted dolls wearing his latest collection of wigs. He stated that they are the colors of spring inspired from the Splendors of Mother Earth "OOAK Bouquets of Eden Wig Collection."
The wigs are completely made from saran. Yes, even the parts that represent florals are saran. Unbelievable. Now I've seen some big wigs with pieces of colored saran sticking out here and there but no one does it as gracefully or artistically as Anthony.

Auden - Back to Brooklyn

Let me come right out and say this is a great doll! His outfit is well designed and executed. It fits perfectly. I ordered Auden mainly because his shoes were a knock-out. The rest of the fashion is really top notch.

With the tie not pushed up under the collar, the collar lays much nicer. Well done!

 Look at all the tiny buttons sewn on! The details are amazing.

 The hair - not so great. I wish I could style it differently and not ruin it. Male dolls need wigs for short styles or flocking or long pony tails.

How can a doll like this be manufactured so well and retail for only $65?  I'm asking because there are similar sized dolls coming from IT that don't have such fabulous outfits costing twice as much and more.

La Novia: New Ficon Doll

Today the sales opened for the LE30 resin BJD La Novia from Ficon Doll.  Novia translates to 'bride' or 'girlfriend.'

She is $720. and can be seen at this link http://www.ficondoll.com/

While we are on the topic of Ficon dolls, I was fooling around with Leonie and accidentally put her wig on backwards. I like it better this way. She is wearing a Ficon bustier dress which I ordered from The Doll Peddlar. The link will take you to their Ficon boutique where you can find items no longer available at Ficon and their own exclusives.
