Toby (as Luo) came to me with a pretty bland basic face-up. I described his character to Renee, and sent her some pics of the actor Sean Bean as Boromir in The Lord of the Rings movies, and she gave him a whole new lease on urethane life.
In early 2019, I sort of accidentally-on-purpose resold the Luo head before remembering how important he was to one of my core characters. (I'd been on an Iple hiatus for a couple of years...)
In 2020, I set out to rectify my error and purchased the Arvid head--and after months of COVID-delay, he finally arrived--and this head is even more perfectly Toby than the Luo one was.
