All right, my Iplehouse JIDs are here. I ordered the new body Alice on February 1. I got the old body Kassia secondhand, mostly to hedge against any problems there might be with importing Alice with regards to the current situation in the USA. I may have overdone it, but I'm kind of glad I did. This is my first new body JID, and I'm not sure it's what I hoped it to be. The small bust is way more nippley and a bit more shapely than I expected. Iplehouse's website apparently does some blurring. The skin color is normal, but I don't think I've ever had a new normal color doll that arrived this pale. I'm not a fan. The neck joint has pretty much zero usable up/down range. The aesthetic of the face isn't quite what I was expecting, too. Maybe it's the different hair and eyes from the promo photos that I got with mine. The under eye makeup is fairly pronounced in real life. I'm also not a fan of that. At least the ankles are much improved, and the arm posing is fairly good. I'll keep her for a while and see how it goes. I have plenty of time to decide if she's going to be my SID Eva's daughter. Kassia? I instantly loved her. She's kind of a mini-Eva. She'll definitely be Eva and Leah's daughter. She has the same body options as my previous JIDs, too. She's going to fit in just fine. If you get a red X, click on it!
Congratulations on your arrival! Sorry to hear that it feels bittersweet. I agree though that Kassia is absolutely beautiful and darling. Alice seems to have a lot of potential to me as well, but I understand how you must feel. Maybe they will both work out but I'm glad at least Kassia fits in already!
Thank you, Alison It's still early, so I'll see how it goes. I just love Kassia's slightly pudgy little girl face. Alice looks thin in comparison.
Thank you, Sara. Maybe I'll bring her to the New York City meet on Saturday. Give me some time with her and some other people and get some different perspectives.
