Oh no! My doll's neck broke (and how I fixed it)

  

Starting my first 2024 blog post with a misfortune. 

The plastic neck part of Volks MDD-III body broke from the tension. I have this body since 2015 when my friend helped to purchase directly from Volks Japan. I fix the body with my own custom DDH-01 and her name is Nayeon. Though she made her first debut in 2022 due to procrastination.

Oh yay, finally it's happening! Doll's Meadow Malaysia return this year after last year cancelation due to Covid restriction. The venue has changed but I'm glad the host persistence to get this event going.

A little introduction, Doll's Meadow Malaysia is a doll related sales convention which is similar to DollFest Malaysia & MYDoll Tea Party previously. This event is 3rd party seller friendly and sellers are able to resell their preloved merchandise. Local talent & product are encouraged. This is awesome because sellers / agents are able to cater the doll necessities like face-protector , head cap etc, the small stuffs that usually demanded by collectors. This year event is located at Zi Place, Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur. The entrance fee for visitors was RM5/pax.

The Doll's Meadow Malaysia poster located on ground floor. It's really cute!

Attending : MYDoll Doll Gathering Party 2022

Hey-hey, it's been awhile I wrote about event cover. This time is a special one because I worked closely with the organizer.

When is the last time we have a large scale non-profit kind of meet up? Exactly. If  I recalled correctly, the non bias doll gathering hosted by group admin was held back at 2014. A non bias gathering is when everyone is allowed to come regardless the background issue as long they abide the rules.

Let's be honest our local doll collector scene is divided to few groupies that have their own reasons. This results the hobby from external looks slowly insignificant (if you compared to the other SEA countries' culture). I'm myself was passively losing interest, it doesn't feel the same as I've used to.

While my dolls & accessories were left untouched, collecting dust & slowly deteriorate due to weather. I even had new doll arrived  & stayed unbox for a year, yeah that bad. However, I organized & joined few small meet ups & thought, "Hey, I really miss this.".

I know the main reason for the inactivity is people are struggling with the pandemic, I was at a point succumbed to the virus but thank God I recovered! The public social places are opening again with strict rule to follow. The small meet up usually hold at café but sadly this place only permit you to stay 3-4 hours maximum.

My friend, Wahidah & I were tired of this short hours get-together so we decided to bring back the best way to get together is renting a space for us, like the old school.

Thus, MyDoll Doll Gathering Party was arranged!
