#yahoojapan auctions

Working through a disjointed mess of backlog acquisitions. Most of this stuff is from DollyTeria, with the exception of one thing from Yahoo!Japan. It’s also been sitting around for weeks, so… I’m looking forward to finally getting this out of the way. XD

First, second, & third pics – classic Soylent Green SD-size leather boots, in basic neutrals. I’ve adored owning the pairs I already had in magenta and teal, but having some regular, boring colors will be great for outfits, too. The black and brown came with boxes (and with a pretty floral label design!). I’m not sure any of the three pairs were ever used, though, so I’m cramming them on Joce and V as soon as I can. They’re too great not to be worn! <3

Fourth pic – long ribbed armwarmers by +d. These are also destined to be a staple item! +d has made other variations of these with extra decorations (fur and lace), but these are just the plain ones.

Fifth pic – black lace/mesh stockings by KABA. Looking at them again, I wonder who I had in mind when I grabbed these… I might put them on Joce, honestly. Maybe with the black Soylent Green boots? I’m not sure who else they would suit.

Sixth pic – cute cream stockings by girlish*kiss. I love the delicate textures of the fabric. These are definitely going to be for V.

Seventh pic – fantastic “Treasure Hunter” set by OILSHOCK. It’s another gorgeous triangle stole (with glittery crown print) for my collection, plus the matching necklace. I don’t think this was ever removed from its package, and I couldn’t bring myself to do it just yet… it’ll happen eventually, though. I have to pair the scarf with my map-print Soylent Green boots at some point. XD

Eighth pic – random little black velvet headband and printed fabric scrunchie. Completely unsure of the makers… they came bundled with Citron stuff, but I’m pretty sure they’re not either Citron or Aprism. I guess the scrunchie might have been an Aprism thing, or a little giveaway, but I’ve not see it before, either way. I don’t know if I’ll end up keeping either, but I wanted to make note of them.

Ninth pic – really odds and ends! This is a bunch of extra papers, mini postcards, inserts, and other promo things from Citron (+ Aprism) releases. I feel like they got shoved into a listing as a bonus because DT wasn’t sure what else to do with them, although the previous owner obviously kept them pretty meticulously. The green “Joyeux Noel” card might be the most interesting of the batch, as it details the original order placed (for the “blue sky” scissor pouch), including the person’s name. I’ve blocked that out here, just in case, but it’s a nice detail that Citron printed out cards like that for individual orders.

Back to more exciting photos! Of dolls’ faces! Probably. XD

Some accessories that came in a while back! It was fun to unpack all of these; the lots I won them from were treasure troves of goodies.

First & second pics – more bolo ties by Fuga Lupinus to add to the collection. There are so many color and shape combos!

Third pic – “India” keychain charm by Fuga Lupinus. This is an older style and not as iconic as their yarn pompom ones, but it’s amazingly bright and pretty. I hope I can figure out ensembles that will do it justice.

Fourth pic – soft and gentle necklace, also by Fuga Lupinus. It will probably look nice on Justyn, but I also want to try it out on V.

Fifth pic – black leather belt/harness by KABA. I have it in dark brown, too, but black might prove to be useful. Mostly for Vincynt, I guess?

Sixth pic – black leather bunny mask, also by KABA. The design has gone through a couple of different iterations. It’s a bit misshapen from being in storage, so I need to work on that. I’m not really sure how to use it yet – if it were the cat version, it’d definitely be for Joce, and if it were in natural brown instead of black, it’d be for V. But black + bunny… I’ll have to experiment.

Seventh pic – cute horn accessory, again by KABA. It’s maybe more of a mystery than the other pieces, but hopefully I’ll find a use for it. Possibly it’d work even as background filler? Who knows. That’s a problem for a future me. XD

Eighth pic – french macaron set by Citron, a most coveted piece. I have wished for these for ages… and ages… and ages… and now I finally own them, still in their adorable little package. ;o; <3

Ninth pic – another CoCoon scarf for the collection as well. I knew I would be getting it from the auction pics, but it wasn’t clear that this was, in fact, YoSD sized! It’s my first for Yos. Will I give it to MiMi first? Maybe. >_>

Tenth pic – cute “basket” by HavEy SyRop. At least, I’m pretty sure? They don’t have pics of versions with dark pink flowers, just white, but the style seems very consistent and would make sense, considering other pieces from them I’ve purchased from the same seller. There’s some color transfer on the lace, which is a shame, but it’s not a big surprise given its age. It’ll be easy to overlook once it’s in use.

And that’s it for now! The Fuga pieces and the Citron macarons are my favorites, but the whole batch is really pleasing.
