My latest girl is Aussie -her name is Mila :) - She wasn't meant to be staying but you know how persuasive these girls can be!

Hello everyone :) I'm Juliette and I live in the UK, I'm married and work for an engineering consultancy firm by day. I'm a bit of a geek and I really enjoy gaming; anything from old school D'n'D (complete with dice, pencils and semi-destroyed photocopies of character sheets) to Minecraft on my PC. I also love sewing and dress-making but don't really have the inclination to complete really big projects.

I'm new to dolls - I say new, I mean I've not bought one for myself or had one bought for me for the best part of twenty years. I've just bought a pair of Tangkou dolls, Aussie and Italia, and have just been emailed with shipping notification! I've always wanted a Blythe and have always been priced out of the market so when I discovered Tangkou on my search I was really happy - to me she looks like the taller, geekier, and slightly more awkward sister of Blythe. I was totally taken :P

As soon as my girls arrive I'll be sure to post some pictures. I've got to start thinking of names for them...

Hope to chat more with you all soon!

Aussie's eye mech looks iffy, but I haven't been able to get her out of her box at work - nor would I really want to. So I'll have a look tonight. They've both come very well packed, I'm very happy!

Hope you managed to resolve any eyemech issues!

All sorted, thanks! Though I have just taken my Aussie apart to begin customising her! She'll be my first custom so I'm a little nervous to say the least!

Hi everyone! My name is Jessica and I live in Chesapeake, VA with my husband, our pug Molly, our Jack-a-Bee Henry and our Kitten Lola. 

I have two Tangkou, Miss Audrey and Chinese Girl. I've been a collector of Blythe and have several Liv. I also have a 57cm Dollmore BJD but when these ladies arrived they stole my heart! I love how they don't have that cranky doll look on their faces and they share accessories and clothes with Liv so well. I am definitely pleased and can't wait to get more and expand the family!

Okay let's represent myself; I'm Stella from the Netherlands where I live near Amsterdam with my husband and Blond Labrador Jeeves (he will be 11 years old on May 7th).

I've always been a "doll girl" never had enough of them but never could persuade my mum to agree with me. So I had 1 Barbie, 1 Ken, 1 Skipper, 1 Daisy, 1 Sindy... well you know, just one of any doll that I really really wanted but I only was allowed to ask for 1 doll, of course. Big trauma when my baby sister ruined my favourite doll I got for a birthday only 3 months earlier

I guess that's when it really started but wasn't aware of it yet. 1996 was the year I started to collect Barbie and than many other fashion dolls followed.

The End..NOT  I'm saying this only once I started my webshop in 2008 and I'm selling dolls (yep! Tangkou dolls) and an increasing asortment of doll stuff for BJDs, Dollfie Dream, Blythe, Pullip and Tangkou. I hope to add more and more kinds of dolly stuff within the coming years for all kinds of dolls.

And here is my very own Tangkou doll I had to have: Aussie!

The colours suit her so well and she looks warm and cosy too, lovely.
