Something beautiful

Well, I've fallen in love with something that I cannot have. Or rather, something that I cannot have anytime in the next few years at least. Good thing is that I accept that, but damn....these are beautiful.

I have discovered Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls. And I have seen what someone with characters in their head can do with them. Were I in a position to purchase one- because the things are pricy- I would probably design it to look like Takumi, or possibly Hughnin, and then save up to get some custom clothes and such to complete the look. It's probably the fangirl in me; the thought that I could have my character sitting on my desk or my bookshelf, watching me detail their life, that I could hold them and talk to them...it's a very appealing thought, even though I know it's not going to happen. But I can admire the art those people who have and love these dolls create. See below for some beautiful examples.
