I Just Bought a Doll...

Post by Spanky The Dolphin »

Some of you out there would probably never think of doing such a thing, but I finally went out and bought myself a doll today.

But not just any doll. I went over to Daydream Comics between classes and picked up a doll of Lain from the anime Serial Experiment Lain for $25.

It's a pretty nice doll, with twenty points of articulation, including double-jointed elbows and knees, and a well painted head with solid plastic hair. Lain appears to be 1:6 scale, dressed in her school uniform and coat, and comes with a laptop and cloth backpack for accessories. I decided to put the laptop in her backpack to help give it more shape, and let me tell you, it was a real bitch to get that thing onto her back and make it look good.

I'll have to get a doll stand for her pretty soon, since now she's just sitting on the edge of my bookshelf. Overall, I think she's pretty neat.

So in closing, I want to say that I bought a doll and I'm pretty damn proud of it. :)

It's not a doll. It's a figurine.

Buddy of mine bought a pair of Golgo figures on a motion-sensor platform. Pass the sensor and he turns around and shoots ya!

Meh, it's not any worse than a Ghidorah plushie, and I plan on getting one of those someday.

Still...25 dollars!? That's almost enough money to buy an anime DVD!
Don't hate; appreciate!

RIP Eddie.

Not exactly. Mine came with her school uniform, but both are part of the same line. Unfortunately, no camera = no pics until the weekend.

And $25 is a pretty good price to pay for a doll of this quality.

Actually that's more than enough to buy an anime DVD, online.

Goddammit, Spanky, you're such a sissy.

If you were half the man I was, you'd spend your cash on men's toys. :P
