To Sell Or Not To Sell?

A quick post.

I've been thinking more about the Dikadoll Rena some more, and how good she'd be as Emelyn's angelic form, but I promised not to just buy anymore dolls, I'd have to sell one first...

And sadly, my first thoughts go to Naiiri and Odette.

Naiiri has been with me for a few years, and used to my my dream doll; a Delf Chiwoo that once belonged to Frozen Wings, as the character Sadie, I went mad to get him, but now...well, as precious as he is, he'd changed a little more than I thought when he arrived, and wasn't the character I fell in love with.
He's still had a good time with me, but doesn't get the attention he should...he's WS, and the years have yellowed him slightly, and even his faceup has worn away...his brow paint was already chipping away when I got him! He's still the best-strung doll I've ever had, but when I think about cleaning him up and getting a new faceup for him...well, I kind of think 'why?'
I guess it was a 'you're adopting the doll, not the character' lesson...I'd like to fix him up, but I don't have the money for a new face, and I worry about his worth, as well...Delf Chiwoos don't seem to do well, second-hand. ...no idea why, they're a favourite mold of mine!
Even my Breakaway, Yder and Delf Body haven't sold yet!

Secondly...Odette. I feel guilty as hell for even suggesting this. ;__;
I got her at the same time as Emelyn - two Ante's together, and Odette is a WS LittleFee.
She's beautiful, but I just haven't bonded with her as much as I'd like.
The character idea was that Emelyn is a grand angel in hiding, who has taken the form of a child, but is ancient...and Odette, is her guardian//servant, and took the form of an older child.

To be honest, I haven't bonded with Emelyn's current form either...tinies are cute, but awkward...the only one I've been concerned about before is Pongpong...(I love her, but she's a toddler, and doesn't require much one-on-one interaction...just a bit of cheekiness here and there!)




(bad pics, with flash but only one of I have of them both.)

Still, either of these girls have a better chance of selling, since they were only bought in late 2011, have hardly had any attention, and thus no damage, discolouration, etc....
Actually, they even both have their sleeping faceplates as well!

Damn! I hate selling my guys...will have to think on it some more, but for now..these are the candidates. ><
