Here (http://www.mermaid-doll.tk/) you can see my collection of ball joint dolls and mer-stuff ;)

[Thalassa]

That is so awesome, Kae-Leah! I don't remember if you've said before, how many do you have total?

[Princess Kae-Leah]

@Thalassa-a few hundred, not sure the exact number

[Lyna]

that's quite a collection. reminds me of the cabinets my mother in law has.

[Arella]

Neat! Do you have a favorite?

[Mermaid Momo]

nice to see there are fellow doll lovers here! though i prefer BJD's (i don't own any, but i'm currently making one) My goal is to get a large collection only from dolls i make. and that is one huge collection kae-leah!
also, mermaid Fenicia; are you by any chance interested in Lolita? I looked at your photos and some of the dresses had that overall Loli look.

[Mermaid Fenicia]

@draggersprez: I really like the look of lolita-outfits, but I don't have many. I really like to make some more of them :)

[Mermaid Momo]

i just got my first dress from Bodyline 2 months ago while in japan, and I really want to make my own, but the fabric i want is always so expensive!(and not to mention i need a new sewing machine)

[Mermaid Fenicia]

That mouse is very cute ;)

[Mermaid Gosalyn]

Aaaah! I LOVE dolls! All kinds, though lately I have moved into BJDs and the like. I have some porcelain style dolls, several barbies (used to have a lot more), a handful of brats, two monster high (lagoona and draculaura), one pullip, and one BJD (a pukifee Cupid).

Kae-Leah your collection is impressive! Your display cabinets are nice too; I wish I could display my dolls so proudly.

Fenicia your dolls are lovely! How many do you have?

Draggersprez, how cool that you're making your own! I hope to one day be able to do that myself! I'd love to make a mermaid one, of course. I also like lolita, though I don't have any lolita outfits. When I get better at sewing I hope to make some. :D

Xuchilpaba I'd love to see more of your dolls! I haven't got a Pipos but I'd like to have one, one day. Oh, so much to buy, so little money!

[Mermaid Fenicia]

@onelilmermaid: I have 10 characters but I have 12 dolls :p 3 SD (1 male and 2 female (1 extra human female body that will turn in a mermaid soon), 3 MSD (1 male and 2 female) and 4 tinies (2 from 27cm, 1 from 20 cm and 1 Pukipuki from 11cm (she got 2 bodies, 1 mermaid and human). ;)

[Mermaid Gosalyn]

How cool! Sounds like you have quite a nice collection!

[Mermaid Gosalyn]

Oh man, I can't afford the Pipos koolaid right now! T_T I can't wait to see some of these mermaid dolls! The only mermaid dolls I've ever had have been barbies, and they're not that impressive. I'd like to make fabric tails for some of the dolls I currently have though.

Also, here's a pic of Melize, my Pukifee Cupid:

there are actually quite a few mermaid BJD's. Just google them in images and they should pop up. I hear one company that made them in a HUGE size sold out in a night. (oh! and you can also youtube it. I've found a lot of videos of people unboxing mermaid dolls)

[Mermaid Fenicia]

I just make fabric tails for my BJD's :p only my pukipuki has a resin tail :) I'm planning on making latex tails for dolls later on this year ;)

[Mermaid Celissa]

I'm starting a Monster High collection! I have four so far, Nefera de Nile (Wave 1), Lagoona Blue (Skull Shores), Abbey Bominable (Skull Shores), and just bought Venus McFlytrap (Wave 1)
