Display Showcase - Nostalgic Shots

I have this display showcase ever since I moved in this new house like 4 years ago. I arranged the display bit by bit whenever I feel like to. Many of the dolls in the pictures have already found their new homes, and plenty of the new ones have moved in after their departure! I should have done some photo shootings whenever I have changed the display. Anyway, before I could find time to take new pictures, here are some nostalgic shots!

Reminded Me of My School Project–New Releases from Superfrock

I have been running here and there for business trips lately and were not able to get online as frequent as I wanted. Not until my dear dolly friends both from Australia and Hong Kong mentioned to me about their new purchase of Sybarite – Geometry, had I then visited Superfrock.com and found that they have also released another outfits set - Picnic Magnet outfits.

Some Insight from Friends:

Both of my friends told me that the elbow joints of the Geometry have been improved by showing only one piece when they are bended; and that the slip-on shoes with metallic plat are cool in style - although the front is too sallow that it could not stay on. Plus there is a hook stuck out from the ear lobs for hanging ear-rings. Although she has no idea whether the hook could be removed from the lobs or not, you could further accessorizing her with more fun!

Reminded Me of My School Project:

To me, both pieces somehow reminded me of my primary school art project which my teacher asked us to recylce old magazines, cloth, candy wrapings, food packaging, anything we could recycle of, and sticked them on a paper to form our own art!

I could not help but notice why there is a blue feather ponygirl headpiece on Geometry! Is it inspired by the Circus? Having said that I sometimes appreciate how C&D surprise doll lovers. It may not please everyone but it spiced up the dolly world with their wild imagination!

Sybarite Jewellery–Acquired Wealth

Today is still a holiday to me, so I just surfed aimlessly online after a rich breakfast. And I have found a very nice main picture of Sybarite on Superfrock’s website. I think it is the best of all Sybarite since V3, Play, Playeur and Toxica.  I like that picture and the metal look accessories, so I clicked inside and found the below pictures and items of their “Acquired Wealth” series.

Marl & B’s Exclusive Sybarite – Toxica

Wow, one after the others, the Marl & B exclusive Sybarite (LE100 and pricing at US729.99) has just been reviewed and for sale on their website.

After the new engineered body and new face mold V3 have been released, the 2^nd and 3^rd Sybarite, the Paris Convention exclusive PLAY (light blue outfits blonde and same design green outfits red hair), were reviewed. A few days later, the 4^th Sybarite, Marl & B’s exclusive Toxica, is for sale online. It is the 4^th Sybarite being released in about 1.5 months since V3 has been launched.  What’s more, it is the first of the 3 Hells Belles series.

Toxica has colorful birdie tattoos on her arms, breasts and neck (not sure if more on the other parts of her body). She has the retro look…and as usual, I like her shoes!!

Swallow Sybarite–a Great Theme Doll…no more these days??

I used to be a fan of Sybarite. I started my collection of Sybarite when I came across the hot discussion on Prego by chance on the day that Haute Couture Magazine exclusive Sybarite was for sale online.  In order to eligable to order one Sybarite, I subscribed HC magazine for 2 years implusively.  I was lucky to be able to order Skye (although I prefer the other one more)!  Then my serious collection started to grow from Snow Baby onwards….Couture Salon, Pony, Rosemary, Parsley, Swallow, Inque….

Since V3, the modified face mold and newly engineered body of Sybarite, released, I began to miss my Sybarite. In my opinion, all the new changes have distroyed Sybarite.  They have changed something they should not have changed (e.g.: face, nose, eyes…yuck!). And also changed something, such as elbows, hips, thigh  joints, in an incapble way) That makes me miss the Sybarites that I used to have.  Swallow is actually very nice in terms of great theme, design, styling, quality, as well as the tiny little touches such as the scratches and the wings!!   I searched my archiev and found these pictures!  I just LOVE them!!
