Grail Doll: Paid For!

This has been a crazy day in my personal life for a lot of reasons, and the fact that I was able to pay for my grail doll during it all has only pushed me further into the "am I dreaming?" territory.  But no, I am not, it really happened.

I am getting Emmanuel's oldest (age-wise) version, in the shell of a Dollshe Bernard.

As I've mentioned in previous posts about grails, Bernard is a boy I've always wanted since I started the hobby.  But Dollshe boys are large, of a different aesthetic, and expensive.  Not to mention Dollshe has discontinued some, which means their availability and price can seriously fluctuate.  I had somewhat resigned myself to not getting one for those factors, unless I found one that was well priced/I had the money/all my bills were paid.  So a perfect storm was needed to make it happen.  Never going to happen right? Well...better get your umbrella!

Like magic I had some extra money from a check I thought was never going to come in, therefore I didn't factor it into paying my bills.  I had already set aside this month/next month's money when it arrived.  So I browsed the MP a bit, thinking of getting another MSD doll or head for Emmanuel.  And somehow I ended up in the large doll section browsing around.  The same woman I bought Emmanuel's Volks body from had two Dollshe boys up for sale, one of which is a Bernard.  He's perfect, literally been in his box since she received him.  No face up, no nothing. He's blank and wonderful.  I dropped her a message and we chatted a bit, and she accepted my offer.  Not sure when he will be shipping, though I suppose it's possible he could ship tomorrow.  More likely some time next week though, and he should be here soon after.

I've got literally nothing for him, so I might have to get a bit creative.  I'm not sure if any eyes or wigs I have will fit him as he's so different than my other dolls.  Not to mention clothing that gigantic body of his. They're slim dolls, but so very tall (70cm I believe).  So he might be a little strangely naked for a while, but those bodies are so beautiful I don't think it will be a bad thing.

I can't even put into words how excited I am, I just can't wait for him to get here!

Grail doll?

So. I might have a chance to one of my grail dolls, one which I never thought I'd get because of size/aesthetic/availability/price/shipping/etc.  I'm not 100% positive yet, but I should know by the end of today.  I'm the kind of excited where I'm just about going out of my mind on the inside but I'm trying to stay relaxed and not be too crazy. But but but...GRAIL DOLL!
