It really ...Thanks to both of you for your support! It really means a lot to me to know that people are out there reading and enjoying what I cast out into the ether.<br /><br />There are a few different Combat Joe headsculpts out there and eventually, I'd like to get another one. That'll have to wait until the family finances improve….<br /><br />Thanks again!Geektopianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598139714335006408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086353247988117271.post-57768462179256504592016-01-14T06:49:43.762-06:002016-01-14T06:49:43.762-06:00I totally understand last year being a bit of a .....I totally understand last year being a bit of a ... ahem. XD Real life got in the way big time for me too XD I love these dolls... of course I love the Azone ones... but Combat Joe is pretty awesome... his facial expression is so stern! I'll be interested to see what he's like when he shows up this year! <br /><br />Here's to a better year of blogging XDHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111661500387424612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086353247988117271.post-67879146674196532602016-01-08T02:39:01.691-06:002016-01-08T02:39:01.691-06:00Haha, that first sentence of the post made me gigg...Haha, that first sentence of the post made me giggle a little, although it's not a laughing matter that the year was sucky for you. Good to see that you haven't lost your sense of humor! <br />I know how hard it is to enjoy your hobbies when you struggle with real life issues. I'm definitely not happy that things have been hard for you, quite the opposite, but it's been a great source of strenght for me to know that someone is going through the same kind of feelings about the hobby. Like, I'm not alone in thinking things like quitting and wondering what's the point of doll/figure photography... <br /><br />Still, I think I see that spark of enthusiasm in your posts and pictures! So I'd encourage you not to lose faith in your hobbies! I'm sure you're not really fed up with them, it's just that the hardships of real life may be clouding what you actually love about figures and dolls.<br /><br />I love the figures and dolls you got this year! Those Saru-Inuya soldiers are an awesome find, I tried to keep my eye open for these while in Japan but there was just so much stuff everywhere, I might have had better luck if I'd asked for them specifically. Well there's always next time! :)<br /><br />I'd be super happy if I got a combat Joe as a gift! That was a very good present! (and he still looks British to me! I don't know why that is xD ) It's good that your family seems supportive of your hobby. <br /><br />I've had the same kind of thoughts about Yuzuha too, but happy we both have our Yuzuhas now! She's definitely my favorite of my own Pure Neemos so she was worth all the trouble! :D<br /><br />I hope that 2016 will bring much happiness for you, both in real life and in the hobby! Thanks for always writing nice and funny comments and being there! :) Spica~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01876806259446269299noreply@blogger.com
