Cosa Bonita; Pullip Cosmic Jupi
This is the first time I bought an old doll not due to lust but because it was offered to me at 50% off the original price (SING$90)!
Still, she is starting to grow on me. Her effortless bare faced beauty look paired with nude, glossy lips is absolutely gorgeous and her lightly tinted violet hair is just perfect for her. However, I did not like her original hair style as it was very badly tangled. Hence, I cut her hair and perm it in big loose waves. In addition, this beauty is a high maintenance doll as the silver studs located at her apparels and shoes tend to drop off easily. Despite all these, I believe that she may very well be one of my grail Pullips.

Love At First Sight
Greggia has been on my wish-list ever since I first laid my eyes on her. However, since she was produced a few years back (October 2005), she costs a lot more than my first Pullip; Ala. Fortunately, in an unforeseen folds of events, I managed to chance upon her at an extremely affordable price! Hence, she is now part of my collection!
*PS: She is still in her box (I still do not have a proper place for my dolls!), thus only one shot of her.
It’s So Kawaii!
Not to long ago, I decided to rekindle my childhood love for dolls. A seemingly challenging task, some may say, especially since the size of the local doll collectors’ community is relatively small. Thankfully, for the Internet, I managed to trace down a quaint little doll shop in Singapore!
To be honest, I was pretty excited yet apprehensive at the same time. After all, I’m not very sure as to what to expect. Upon reaching the address stated online, my excitement definitely did die down a little.
It never occurs to me that a doll company will choose to locate itself in an industrial building. Furthermore, the entrance of the shop seemed pretty “suspicious” (sealed and locked) and uninviting. There is no presence of any homosapien around the level and the only form of greeting was a typed A4 paper, indicating that an entrance fee of $5 per person will be collected and is refundable with every purchase made.
As I was determined to make a purchase, this greeting did not “scare” me off. I punched the door bell and waited patiently for whatever/ whoever that might come next. A man appeared shortly and welcomed me in.
Upon entering the shop, I was blown away. It was as if I entered another dimension, one which contains no trace of the “industrial-ish” environment that had greeted me a few minutes ago. Magma Heritage is definitely a dream comes true for all doll lovers. Pictures speak of a thousand words and as such, I will let the pictures do the talking.
