Ha-Yarn Cho
I have basically been in love with Dollmore’s gorgeous Ha-Yarn Cho since the moment I saw her. The Dollmore website offers the following description of her:
There is a slender and beautiful Model doll Ha-Yarn with oriental eyes.
Her name “Ha-Yarn” in Korean stems from her look that is as white as snow.
15-year-old Korean Model girl Ha-Yarn without double eyelid
makes a good impression like the soft sunlight
besides, Her smile flickers in her face with white teeth~
She is so attractive to have a perfect slender body lines and Model poses as well.^^
Is it sad that part of the reason I love this hobby is the Engrish?
I waffled over buying her for a long time…I wasn’t sure that I was actually into Ball Joint Dolls as a hobby, because Lawds, I thought yarn was expensive! And even if I was certain that I was willing to make this sort ofcommitment, I still balked at spending $500-odd on a doll. I had decided that I was going to wait until Christmas to order her, for a few reasons.
The first of which was to be sure that I wanted her. The second, to see if they would have any holiday-related deals. And lastly, being a waitress, I make a decent amount more money during the summer and again during the holidays, so I could be certain to have a surplus of funds. All in all, it was a tremendously wise decision, with lots of sensible reason backing it.

I, uh, bought Ha-Yarn on 4-27-10. The fact that I could afford her eventually overrode all of my common sense, and I bought her and a small fortune worth of items to go with her. I must admit, though. It was quite the bargain. Dollmore has a deal wherein you spend $700 and get free shipping. Considering that shipping is $90, it seemed more than reasonable to just splurge on some accessories for her.
Ha-Yarn Cho is the name of her sculpt, but my girl is named Fawn. Her name came to me while I was chatting with some friends over AIM, and to be completely honest, was the deciding moment for me. As soon as she had a name, I knew she was right for me. She doesn’t have a surname yet, if she ever does, and I’m reserving judgment on her personality.
I admit that I don’t seem to be able to think of Fawn as a real person, which doesn’t seem to be an issue for many people in this hobby. It’s possibly because I don’t have her, yet, but I don’t have a story for her, or an age, or a personality. I might not ever have a great epic tale behind her – the most “fantastic” idea I’ve had for her is that she uses a wheelchair – but not everyone can have a fire elemental lost on the material plane without their powers, I suppose.
Speaking of wheelchairs, that might have to wait some time, in any case. The only one I can find that looks like it would fit her 26″ frame is for the MyTwinn doll, which is discontinued until at least Christmastime. I suppose Icould make my own, but I’m not quite that ambitious, yet. I suppose we’ll see!
Anyway, on to the accessories I bought for her. I paid a grand total of $706 for all of this:
