Merry Christmas~! ♥

Before I leave to spend this day with my parents, I wanted to share a few Christmas-themed photos with you guys~ ♥ These were taken and edited on yesterday already, since I'm leaving right in the morning and wouldn't have had time for that today :3

First of all, I took a photo with all of my Picconeemos~  Here you can also see my newest Picco girl that just arrived on Tuesday, but I didn't have the time for taking box opening photos. She's an Aika named Aimi, the one in the middle of the photo~ Now I have one of each Picconeemo face, except for Himeno which will be getting a new release next year and she'll definitely join the crew then!

Me and Sarg also took some pictures for the annual Christmas calendar project of Finnish BJD forum, our day was the 24th - just like last year ^^ Since the weather outside is far from the "white Christmas", we decided to create a small Christmas set-up with some fake snow. Hopefully these photos bring at least some Christmas atmosphere to those people who don't have any snow~

Sarg posed the dolls, while I was taking the photos :3 It's fun to do things together~ Sarg has said that she enjoys posing the dolls more than photographing herself, while it's often the opposite to me XD I guess we make a good team, hahah...

Lulu and Neffie are ready to open some presents!

I wonder what's in this big one...

Whaaat, it's Olga?! D:

"Where are my cakes? >:I"

Grumpy little Olga still got some hugs since it's Christmas ♥

Even though she doesn't seem to like it that much X'DD

A few random shots:

Our smallest resin dolls~

On behalf of all tooth fairies, Lili wants to remind us that we need to remember to brush our teeth extremely well on Christmas, since we often eat many sweet things, like gingerbreads XD (I feel bad how little attention this girl has gotten from me... I've even thought about selling her a few times, but every time I look at her, I just can't do it ;___;)

I won Tony from Soom in their last year's Christmas photo contest and wanted to take a photo that I could send them to wish them merry Christmas ^^

Of course I had to snap a few photos of Chici as well, since she has her own winter hat and scarf! ♥ This was Chici's first time in the snow, so she got a bit too excited...

Merry Christmas everyone~ ♥

Hope you all have a great time with your families and friends ^^

After Christmas I need to make my doll year 2015 post and also talk about my plans for next year~

Comparison: Re-ments & different dolls

Fantasywoods asked me if Re-ments would work for yo-SD sized dolls and I promised to take some pictures for her :3 I chose Lulu (Peakswoods Vampire Hucky) as my yo-SD example, since Fantasywoods has a PW girl too so I thought this way the comparison would be the most accurate~ Other dolls in the comparisons are Shiori (Pure Neemo Maya, M body) and Miu (Picco Neemo Miu).

I believe Re-ments are meant to be 1/12 sized, so they should work the best for Picco Neemos as those are in the same scale. Many people do use Re-ments for 1/6 scale Pure Neemos as well and it does work too! Yo-SDs are considered as 1/6 scale among the BJDs, but their proportions are very different compared to Pure Neemos, so they look different with Re-ments as well.

I'm only sharing my personal opinions along these photos, everyone can decide from themselves what they think and what doll size they would use these props for :)

I'd say that that the furniture are too small for yo-SDs in terms of realism, but the food and such work fine! The Rilakkuma table set might work for a kid's room etc. but not necessarily as a more realistic cafe setting ^^; Lulu seemed to fell in love with that tasty-looking cake piece...

I also compared Lulu with the Rilakkuma kotatsu that I have, again this gives off a child's room type of feeling :3 The size is not too bad, but it is a bit on the small side. She was wearing boots and her feet wouldn't fit under the table if the toes were facing upwards, she would've lifted the whole thing from the ground with her feet XD

But still... Yo-SDs have their cutesy factor so it's not like they'd look stupid with anything u_u

Here are two of my Azones with the same kotatsu, I think this looks a lot better :3

And also with the cafe setting~ Shiori (left) has the M body and her legs are maybe a bit too long, so this table set would work better for S body, even though there's not that much of a difference. Little Miu on the other hand might look tiny here, but I imagine my Picco Neemos being younger than their "big sisters" so it doesn't bother me.

I hope someone found these helpful! ^^
