I don’t remember if I ever posted photos of my DollZone Mo-Wen on Tumblr. I didn’t make one until much later in life, and stopped taking photos of him for a long time -- these are from around 2006-2007, I first received him in November 2006. I stopped having an interest in BJD for a long while after I got my last floating head, I would say around 2-3-years worth of time. Then, I was in the process of modifying my Mo, and much later when I was bored one day I went to look for BJD news....
I was super sad and a bit surprised to learn when it was already too late, that DZ had discontinued Mo! I always felt like he was one of their more popular first sculpts they released (and that was partly why I wanted to mod mine). Since then, I felt like it was the wrong move to stop looking for BJD related news, even if I have no interest in purchasing more. Otherwise, I would have known he was being discontinued and I would have been able to purchased another head, or not attempted modifying mine in the first place (although, I would have probably gone for the former).
I love my Mo so much, but since I learned about his sculpt being discontinued, he has stayed in limbo since then. I feel like I want to try to work on him, but then I feel ambiguity because i don’t know if I should try to make him look different, which was my original goal. Or try to restore whatever little I can, since I did do subtractive mods on his face already. DX
I don’t regret any of the other modification I’ve done on my other heads, because I knew they were limited like my Minimee, or I had already modified the heads and then much later they were discontinued and I wasn’t able to afford a whole doll just for the head, like with my Mano. However, with Mo, I could have afforded the head, but didn’t know. So, it’s a bit more of a deep wound this time, because I could have had an unmodified Mo, and a modified one as well, had I not been stupidly away from the news!!!
Anyone who read this whole essay about my feelings for my Mo-Wen who is in limbo now, thank you. I am kind of very stressed right now, because I can’t sleep (story of my insomniac life!), and I was browsing through old photos of my dolls. I am just venting now, but I’d like to think I’ll come to a decent solution about this soon, hopefully not one that doesn’t include begging DollZone to sell me a Mo-Wen head sculpt, because I don't think they will.
