Everything i´ve try with them was because already other people try with their dolls and they had given the approval to these materials.
43. What is the size you like most?
I like all sizes. I think Yo-sd and MSD are more easier to handle and easy to dress and everything. The 60cm SD and larger sizes, i think they are looking better and because they are larger usually looking more realistic and adult appearance. Tiny are very cute, though smaller than 16cm are difficult to dress and making pose. I choose the Yo-sd size as my favourite.

Not all, but i have makeup them, makeup remove, clean, string and some other things that i must be forgetting.
48. Would you like to be recognized in the hobby or have a fan club of your dolls?
Honestly no, because i´m a pretty timid for these things. With having this blog i am satisfied and i´m very happy with it.
49. Someone tried to steal you any of your dolls?
Luckily never happened and i hope it never happens to me...
50. What do you think will change in the future of the hobby?
I don´t know, really, just i hope that this hobby will be more known, lower the prices a little bit and people see this hobby as a normal hobby and don´t call "crazy" to us.
