Honestly anons, vinyl doesn't give a fuck about much.

Not that anon, but I do take mine out as well. Honestly... vinyl is pretty tough. Just mind the face.

Scuffs may happen here and there, but the whole thing can be replaced if it bothers you- legs, arms, wigs, clothes, it's all replaceable so it's not a big deal if something does happen -- and aside from stains (which don't bother me as much) I've rarely had anything go awry. Clothes get wet or dirty, wigs become unstyled, dust settles over time, but all of this is fixable. Resin is more fragile (the fucking fingers especially, you have to baby it, but as long as you're careful and mindful of how brittle small and thin pieces can be, it's no less portable in my experience. Some older bodies eventually get loose joints or minor cracks in the frames, but that's just wear and tear like anything else, similar to how resin dolls eventually need to be restrung -- something I am terrified of attempting on any doll that isn't human-shaped, but will eventually need to confront regardless.

Nothing lasts forever, so I just try to enjoy the time I have with my dolls while I have them -- and if that means putting them in a backpack to trek them into the woods for a photoshoot, well, nothing bad has come of it yet! People are generally nice about it, too -- some are curious in a positive way, most are simply ambivalent. In the age of the internet, strange happenings are somewhat commonplace, so it's not that noteworthy to see someone taking photos of a doll in public. Don't be afraid to live your life... even if something goes wrong, it's not the end of the world. Do what makes you happy, anons. Life's too short to do anything else.

Doll stands and photoshop.

She's gorgeous anon. What color eyes are you planning to give her?

Oh hey anon, I remember your girl. Who are you waiting to come in? Might as well lament here until someone remakes the thread in /toy/. I'm waiting for a doll to get over here too, and the anxiety is no joke.

Are you the thread regular 2B anon? I hope you get your doll soon. You've been waiting a long damn time.

Maybe some of their wig styling products? Good pick anon, and I'd love to see your Yukino. Be careful building a doll from parts though, there's a regular in this thread who's been waiting to find semi-white MDD wrist parts for months.

I had some snowfall the other day. Still getting used to using doll stands, but I had fun.
