The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men.... When Doll Plans Fail.

I have quite a signifigant amount of incomings this year.

Like most collectors I attempt to put a curb on my purchases, swaps and outgoings, and like most collectors, I fail miserably. It's bad enough that I collect something that continually comes out with new, exciting, enticing things, but to add to the pressure, they also happen to be things that enable me to do my favourite thing in the world. Character design.

So it's little surprise that my carefully stressed rule "NO MORE TILL I AM SETTLED IN MY NEW HOUSE" went flying out the window. All thanks to this little thing-


She's Fairyland's newest evil temptation, the PukiFee Luna.
I've known for a while I'd get another PukiFee girl, but I had no idea what it would be, and was quite content to just sit and wait for one to come along.

Well Fairyland answered my call quite a lot sooner than I'd like. Luna appeared for their Summer release and instantly won me over. She stormed in, fully created in character and occupied my mind. I needed to get her, and get her soon, the demands of her rapidly forming personality over rode many other dolls that have been on the list a great deal longer.

I resisted for some time, I really did, but it crumbled with an offer to join a layaway and the threat of losing this adorable Fullset (My PukiFee Ante, Elsie is a little Lolita tea maid, and suited that dress in the picture to perfection...) due to the popularity- it's sold out once already, I have no doubts it will sell out again, and Fairyland only renews fullsets a few times before removing them permanantly.

So Zula is now on Layaway. She's a Whiteskin and is destined for a BRIGHT red wig. She will join the cast as keeper of the Castle Armory.
