Asian-Ball-Jointed-Doll Giveaway

Hey, do you like Asian-Ball-Jointed-Dolls? Do you know someone who really wants one? Well, since its the season of giving this is the Tumblr giveaway for you!

The Prize:

One lucky Tumblr blogger will receive ONE ABJD (Asian-Ball-Jointed-Doll) from any legitimate company for up to $700 not including shipping.

Rules:

Must be 18 years or older to participate

Basic Dolls and limiteds that are still available by the end of the contest are eligible as prizes.

You don’t have to follow my blog in order to enter.

Only reblogs will be considered in the drawing of this giveaway not likes.

Contest ends December 14

The doll will be ordered direct from the company unless in stock by local distributor.

Due to the nature of the production of these items dolls usually take to a minimum of a month and over to be completed. The winner will be forwarded any correspondence that I receive from the company.

The winner may get extras included with their doll (faceup, wig, eyes, clothes, etc) as long as the total doesn’t exceed $700 and is from the same company.

The winner must contact me within 72 hours of notification of winning or gain penalty of automatic forfeit of the prize to the runner up.

If the winner decides not to use the complete amount of $700 they forfeit the remaining balance.

Misc:

This giveaway is not associated with Tumblr (including, without limitation, that it isn’t administered, sponsored, or endorsed by Tumblr), and a statement that each person participating is giving information to me and not to Tumblr.

I am no way associated with any the ABJD company. Everything provided will come out of my own pocket and the generosity of my heart.

Reblog if you create infinite numbers of stories for your character in your head that never get written or rped

[another3am]

Starting now, I'm going to try to post pics and writing and sew a new outfit at least once a week. Let's see how long this lasts...

[confessionsofthebjdkind]

DoA is down for the week while they do upgrades but made a little “off topic” forum for everyone while they wait. As kind of boring as I find it, (and as much as DoA likes to whine they don’t have the space) I do feel like DoA really does need to make an off topic area because people seem almost desperate to find overlapping hobbies besides dolls. It’d be like a bit of a pressure release.

[another3am]

I can't agree more.

Sometimes when I come back from meets and realised I have not got pictures of certain dolls that were there. It makes me a little sad that I missed them. It doesn’t mean I didn’t like them, it could have just been too distracted talking to the people there and having a good time. Or I didn’t get round to that doll, for some reason.

It is why I love to see other people’s meet photo’s so I can see what pictures other people took and I hope they got pictures of dolls I didn’t.

[another3am]

This.

Or I'll get pics of all of them, but sometimes some of those pics just don't turn out. It happens.

[micaeverywhere]

Hey guys; so to celebrate 200+ followers I’m going to run a giveaway! Let’s start off with basic details about what you’ll get!

♥ A faceup (Worth $60) by yours truely.

♥ Free removal of old faceup if needed ($10 value)

♥ Free lashes application, lashes either supplied by me or you (upto $8 value)

So all together that’s worth $78 USD!

______________

Now the Rules:

* The Giveaway will run from October 11th 2012 to November 30th 2012 at 6pm CST (So think of this as an awesome Christmas present)

* You must be following Micaeverywhere for your entries to count.

* Both likes and reblogs count as entries, I won’t impose a reblog limit but please be courteous don’t reblog a million times in a row. EDIT: My tumblr giveaway noob is showing, reblogs only show up once no matter how many times you do it . So uh please don’t spam your followers.

* Please don’t enter if you don’t have a doll to paint, that kinda defeats the purpose.

* You have to pay shipping to here and back (I live in Canada and basic airmail out of here is usually about $10)

* Please know that complete re-dos are not included in the prize, if you want something completely wiped and changed it is an extra $30. But as I have never ever had to do that I don’t think it’s a big worry.

* I’ll be choosing the winner via http://www.random.org/. If there’s demand for it or whatever I can livestream it. I have no idea how this giveaway is gonna turn out.

*I think it’s kinda obvious, but this is for BJD dolls only. I can probably do things like Pullips/Blythes but I don’t have a lot of experience with them.

* If you need to contact me further, my email is Leen.Johnston(at)Gmail(dot)com.

And I think that’s all! This is my first time doing a giveaway so feel free to point out anything I missed. 

EDIT: As I’ve gained a surprising amount of followers from this, I’ll return the favour by including $10 off return shipping(Which is about the cost for airmail to canada/US) if I hit 400 followers before this ends! Only 20-ish more followers to go!

i don’t like when people mostly just post pics of other people’s dolls on their tumblr. if i’m going to like or reblog a doll, i want my compliments to be going directly to the owner, not the owner having no clue at all.

What the hell happened to this community? I’ve been in the abjd hobby for seven years and back in the day it was never THIS bad. It seems like all the most whiny, prissy, egoistical, coddled, entitled, spineless, two-faced, self gratifying, and selfish cretins from every cesspool of the internet just jumped onto the abjd band wagon in within a year or so. I feel myself getting dumber from all the stupid drama. I miss the days when this hobby was pretty small because we didn’t have this b.s.

(via bjdsecrets)

It's this way everywhere in everything anymore. This is the new generation and quite frankly, I don't care for it.

Please like/reblog this if you have a tumblr for your dolls so I can follow you.

I needs more dolls and doll stories on my dash. Maybe it will inspire me to do things.
