oh wow! I missed you. *hughug* XD;;;

Well, in some cases they're made TO order. In the case of the one I ordered in January? He's limited run, so... They're only making the amount that were ordered during the month you COULD order. So... there's only like 100 of him? or something like that. It ends up case by case with this company. The dolls I already have? Frankie took about a month (pink fluffy doll) to get to me, Georgie about 3 days but I bought her used. XD;, Ant ugh...2-3 months, Billie 3-4 months... etc. It depends on the company? XD; Well, its not so much spoilers as Speculation. No one just WRITES the company to ask (half the time) they just go "OH! Its not going to ship till HERE?!" And assume something... then everyone gets all riled up... but yeah. There's forums devoted to things like "I hate your doll" etc. I usually end up going "Dude. It's a doll. It's a HOBBY. ENJOY IT." XD; Which is probably a bit of where my Who stance came from.

XD; I wonder which I get more Who ridicule or Dolly ridicule. >>; My inlaws haven't seen the dolls yet. They know OF them, haven't seen them. Stepmum would love them (she collects bears) the others? No idea what sort of ridicule I'll be going through there. XD; Maybe if I'm lucky it'll be "o.O ... *speechless*" XD;

NICE! I'm working on K-9 next. I found Sec and wanted my Daleks more than K-9 at the time. With Woolworths out, lord knows where I'l find him now! ;)

YAY!!!!!! XD; That's so cute! I caught it on PBS once or twice but never knew what the hell it was! XD;;;

I'm right here! *hugs* Silly you!

Why does no one just email the company? Then again, you wouldn't have the fun of speculation if you did.... *shrugs*

I get more DW ridicule by far. Except from my sister, who likes Torchwood. My mom makes dolls, so you'd get no ridicule from her! Not the kind you have, though, I think. She doesn't do many, but she paints the ceramic faces to order. She made one a few years ago that looks just like my eldest with the blonde, springy curls. It's sort of freakish, actually - it looks just like her! Or did, when she was two.

We have to be careful with the dueling K-9s at my house. They're just the right size to get stuck under the stove. *laughs*

*hughug* I know! When you were gone tho. XD; I had no one to talk too during work. XD; Just got to sit and rant or pick my nose. ;)

Yeah, and since the company's so busy? their hesitant to give out a shipdate since the order period is a month long. So when they give one, they'll usually post a schedule of the next 2 dolls and the months they intend to ship them according to when you paid. The dolly people just get REAL impatient.

OH! Yeah! there was a shop near my parents that did that! Porcelain doll painting! I think the dolls are amazing, just not my thing. XD; The babies, as cute as they are freak me out, since they look so real. <--- is so weird. I did TRY. I loved those dolls as a kid. Now that I'm older...they scare me a bit? They look so REAL.

My parents are into Who enough I don't get too much flack... Eddie's family gives me a BIT of trouble... but in good humor since my father in law/stepmum and brother in law all love it too. My brother in law has a Dalek mug that says "EXTERMINATE!" every time you lift it but they always go "OH! Gary! Roxy's way worse than you. ;)" So Gary's happy for the reprive?

DUDE. I'll bring Sec. PARTY IN THE KITCHEN WITH RC WHO RACES. ;)

Wasn't gone! Just couldn't type very well. Still get sore after lots of typing.

Dolly people impatient? *grins*

THEY DO LOOK REAL!!!! My mom's done some 'newborns' for people that you hate to leave alone, they look so real.

My parents have been trained - been dealing with me for decades. *laughs* They warned the hubby to no avail. And he looks like Cap'n Jack! What's really odd is I used to date a classmate who looked like Turlough. And I ran into him while at the hospital looking in on my mom. THAT was weird.

YES! RC WHO RACES! We will do this.

lol. figures! Right when you get better! I feel :P

XD; YES. HORRIBLY IMPATIENT. It floors me daily.

YES!!! I think that's my problem. I baby sat too long. I feel like I should feed them or something...

LOL Eddie used to claim to be the Doctor?
"I'm the Doctor!"
I was like "Wha?"
"No, love, Who."
"Doctor what?"
"No, Who."
"I'm confused."

This occured several times... many... many times. XD;

You weren't playing the game right!

[identity profile] roxyk630.livejournal.com 2009-03-06 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
lol he DID get me to do it once. I finally ended up (after the above plus, I believe) going "DOCTOR WHO?!" And he went "Exactly."

*headdesk* it took me awhile to finally understand. NOW? It's hysterical and I understand why the above sent him into fits of laughter. Before I was just going "I REALLY don't get it!"

I'd laugh at you too - that's hysterical!

and dude. CAPTAIN JACK HUBBY?

LUCKY WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ha! What was really amusing was when the niece was watching 'Bad Wolf' (where Cap'n Jack takes on the evil defabricator) and she's watching through her fingers and saying 'Ewwwwww! Uncle Paul!' I was amused.

It was funny. Esp. when the hubby walks in and says 'What?'. We both had the giggles.
