Doll of the Month
Zoe - face 7/body 5
Hello there! My name is Zoe, and I live in Amanda's office at Abyss. I'm a medium skin tone doll with blue/grey eyes and cinnamon brown hair (style 0718). My makeup options are very natural because I'm more of a "girl next door" kind of doll than a "night on the town" one. I do like to change my hairstyle and color pretty frequently (living at Abyss has some perks, like easy access to new wigs!) but one color you will never see on me is blonde. My face isn't too popular among doll buyers for some reason, so I'm hoping that by being featured as the Doll of the Month more people might order my face for their dolls. I'd love to have sisters!
Deals and Specials
Holiday 2008
This year we are pleased to announced that from now until Christmas you have your choice of two holiday deals. The first is $500 off the purchase of a doll. The second is a free face with the purchase of a doll. The offers cannot be combined. If you would like to take advantage of one of these specials, simply reference Holiday Promo 2008 in the comments box of your order form and specify which deal you would like. We will manually adjust the orders to match your particular choice.
It's All In The Eyes
Standard Eyes vs. High Realism
The standard eyes that all our dolls come with are called "Glastic" and are simple plastic eyes without a high level of realistic detail. The Guy Louis eyes are individually hand made out of acrylic and feature more realistic coloring (ie, the whites of the eyes are not pure white and have tiny veins threaded through.) Below are pictures of our standard light blue eyes and hazel brown eyes and one light blue eye and one hazel brown eye by Guy Louis.
New Offerings
Economy Dolls
If you have ever wished that Abyss would keep some dolls in stock that could be immediately purchased without having to wait 18 weeks, you are finally in luck. We are pleased to present our new line of Economy Dolls - three different dolls that will be made in advance to be available for immediate purchase. These dolls CANNOT BE CUSTOMIZED IN ANY WAY. They will all cost $500 less than a standard doll (and the Holiday special does apply to them, so for the next month they will actually cost $1000 less than a standard doll.) These are the three you may choose from:
Doll One: Medium Body 5 / Face 11. This doll will have the 0702 wig in medium blonde, light blue eyes, and the following makeup options: Medium black eyeliner, slate eyeshadow, rose lips, French Manicure nails.
Doll Two: Tanned Body 2 / Face 14. This doll will have the 0704 wig in red, hazel green eyes, and the following makeup options: Medium black eyeliner, bronze eyeshadow, cinnamon lips, French Manicure nails.
Doll Three: Asian Body 4 / Face 13. This doll will have the 0709 wig in black, dark brown eyes, and the following makeup options: Light black eyeliner, natural eyeshadow, natural lips, French Manicure nails.
From all of us at Abyss, may you have a happy and healthy holiday season!
