I post mostly about my own dolls on here and cute releases I like. I don't collect playline, though I've tried, and am only interested in jointed dolls, whether MJD or BJD. I collect mainly 1/4 scale dolls, but I own a few 1/3 scale, and some 1/12 MJDs.

Below is a list of my 2025/2026 doll plans.

Restringing: N/A

Wiring: Winter, Blair

Sueding: Winter, Dimitri

Faceups: (new) Mordred; (redo) Iona, Toby, Carmen, Gray; (nails) Dimitri, Gray, Winter, Carmen, Sadie, Toby, Iona.

Doll Buy: (2026) Guard Love Hertz

Acc Buy: shoes for Iona; wig for Carmen, Blair, Winter; outfits for Iona.

Misc: make Gray's wig; piercings for Aaron, Dimitri, Fable, Gray, Winter

Soooo. The weather is still rainy in June. I can only really do doll stuff when it's dry, and the humidity has been insane this year, and coupled with my job the stars aren't aligning for me to do any faceups, which is what I need to get done in order to post photos. :/

I don't have any desire to look at new doll pre-orders let alone think of ones to buy. All I gotta do is sell, but I don't have the time to set aside and take pictures of the rest of the dolls I need to, so idk.

What I mean is that I think I'm on a doll hiatus. ...And I don't hate it?

So, yeah, officially I'm on hiatus until next year.

seeing a lot of people talking about making a neocities site for their dolls and want to say that neocities is run by (1) one guy and as a result sites might suddenly disappear and he may never get back to you.

another good place is nekoweb.org. it's got its own downsides (inability to let people post comments on profiles and need to establish an rss feed for updates), but it's run by a team and (also) does not allow ai crawlers on your site.

i prefer it to neocities, but neither is better than the other. if you're frustrated with neocities or worried about ai or your site getting deleted randomly, nekoweb is a good option.

lmao what a time to realize i wanted to try selling on the doa marketplace after all

welp goodbye doa it was fun

!!Notice of Schedule Change!!

The deadline is April 7! Not the 17th! We apologize for the mistake!!!😭😭

Finally, here are the pictures of Fable, along with one of the dolls I was expecting this year that arrived yesterday.

Here are pictures of her body and her new clothes, which the clothes are for a SDGr body, I think, so they don't fit her perfectly, but they fit well enough where it counts that I don't care, lmao. As you can probably see, her faceup makes her look a lot yellower than her body, but the ears show that the resin still matches. Props to Loongsoul for keeping consistent.

The new doll is going under a readmore because he has no eyes right now, but he's a Luts Muhwa in real skin brown.

Babbu. I don't know what to style him as, but the leopard print, wolf cut, and skull shirt are pretty cute and I might keep his style kind of punk/vkei. I want to give him a blonde wig and make him kind of a gyaru boy, actually, maybe.

Also I knew Real Skin Brown was kinda orangey, but I wasn't expecting it to be yellow. It's very yellow. I don't know if they changed the formula or what, but it's way more yellow than orange. So, idk. I've never owned real skin brown before. Let me know if you have noticed a change in it.

[augiedolls]

Good News: Fable's body arrived WAY earlier than expected.

Bad News: I'm currently hyperfixated on making a neocities site and have been spending pretty much any spare time on it, so the box has been sitting here unopened for a while now.

Good News: I'm forcing myself to open it today.

[augiedolls]

Well, it's a new year, which means time for me to start working on projects again! I'm looking forward to doing faceups. ^^

I also got hit by a tarriff fee from UPS on the Luts order that had arrived in my last post. The fee is at 15%, so if you're buying from Luts this year and live in the USA, be aware and plan accordingly.

More personal doll talk under the cut.

I'm waiting on some dolls:

Fable's body, per usual

2 blind box dolls

a KDF I bought during Luts' discontinue sale (sigh)

I'm still frustrated at the impulse purchases, so I'm going with a new 1-in-1-out doll policy! Once these dolls all arrive, that's it. If I want to buy a new doll, another has to go. And that includes non-strung tinies, like Bearnard.

I also will NOT be selling on DOA anymore. I do not want to deal with uploading images for that site. It's a pain and every hosting service seems to be pay-to-use now. If you want to see what I have to sell, you can check the subreddit /BJDsales once I upload stuff there.

[augiedolls]

Forever ago I got some clothes for Toby and a wig for Winter (along with clothes for Fable, but this isn't about her). Well, they finally arrived!

The rabbit hood is by Chicabi for those interested. There's no pictures of his outfit because the lighting was obscuring them, but once he gets a faceup next year I want to take him outside for spring pics.

As for Winter's wig, it's by Eden. I'm super excited because he finally looks like himself! He's not wearing anything new, though. I just pulled up the coveralls he had on.

something is coming

original wired doll (at least an attempt)

[augiedolls]

What is the best wire to use for wiring a bjd? Floral wire or coated wire? I want something that's flexible enough to move but not so flexible that the doll can't hold its shape easily.

I also don't know what gauges are best for SDs and MSDs, either.

Any help would be appreciated!

[augiedolls]

Just in case anyone isn't aware, some time tomorrow Luts is going to start a 20% off sale for dolls they are discontinuing. There are a LOT on their list, and some of them I assumed were pretty popular. Some of them were even released in the past two years.

You can find the list under Limited Edition > Luts Archive on the website.

[augiedolls]

finally deleted my insta because i wasn't really using it and also having anyone with an instagram see my location is nuts and turning that function off isn't good enough for me i gotta DESTROY

[augiedolls]

i reorganized the layout of the room and now have space for a small fold-out table i could do craft stuff on

i feel like i've unlocked some sort of new hobby level

[augiedolls]

apparently the imagehosting site i use for doa either made hotlinking a paid feature or something and they all just went caput

if only that was the reason no one's biting at my sales posts
