I have not posted anything on this forum in ages despite my collection keep growing. I'm very sorry ^^; So here is my latest girl, Coral Reef ONE (called Vega). I ordered her on 01 March 2023 (Alice's Collection) and she arrived home 18 december She is Fullset type A, with the electroplating parts Here is the box with Company logo on it : Traditional box in the box picture with some bubble paper to protect the beautiful artwork on the official box. Coral Reef box have some kind of special dimensions, less longer than other companies... Corners were a little damaged by transit but I guess than can't be avoided Content of the box : The beast and all her accessories : Head and human head (blank) : Continued in next post.....
Few pics of the girl with her head on : Her official eyes are led but the string allowing to make them shine broke before I have a chance to see them glowing... In any case I had one blue AshuraDarkEyes already planned for her so that's no big deal Here the official eye is on her left, the right one is AshuraDarkEyes Details of her body blush and face up are absolutely stunning. Have to post some pics of it : Additional pictures : Thats all for now ! Hope you like her. More pics on her album on Flikr. Link to her album : Vega - Coral Reef ONE
You're welcome ^^ Yes, I personaly think she's a piece of art. Coral Reef made an incredible work with her
Wow...she is absolutely breathtaking. Everything looks so intricately crafted and gorgeous from the box art to her face and body. So sad to hear about not being able to experience the eyes lighting up though. Glad to hear that you had other eyes planned for her instead that you can use. That's always a plus. I hope you will be able to enjoy her to the fullest for a long time! Very nicely taken photos by the way, thank you for sharing them with us! Congratulations on the amazing new addition to your doll family!
Thank you very much ! I'm glad you apreciate the doll and pictures I'm really happy I chose that girl in Fullset indeed because the work of the company is really impressive and I was curious about those electroplating parts - something I definitly can't do by myself ^^
You're welcome~! I'm glad you ended up happy with your purchase. I would certainly have been curious about those parts myself. I understand about not being able to create those parts yourself. It looks like it had to have taken a lot of practice and a lot of talent/time to get those small parts and accessories just right for her! At least nothing else ended up not working or being broken though so now you don't have to worry about having to return anything or getting extra parts (unless you end up deciding to get replacement eyes of the originals). It's all said and done and now you can enjoy her at your leisure~
Yes, everything went all right (I’m not going to ask for the eyes because they were in good condition before I tried to put them on ^^. For the electroplating, from what I understood, there’s a very specific way to do. I don’t think anybody can do it unless you are professionaly equipped beside, once it's done you can never remove it from the doll ^^ In any case, thanks again for you interest
