I was really happy to receive my Caroline after app. 3 months since ordering. I feel like people were waiting much longer for CR previous dolls, like Mantis. I was a bit surprised to receive her with Whale Island logos/box, but I guess this is the company that does casting for CoralReef? The CoA and postcards are all nice with the holographic effect, they are lacking some English translation though The box itself was not damaged at all and doll was wrapped securely. I cracked a bit at her ear wrappings, looks like a little alien! Neck was protected with a piece of plastic shaped like a puffer fish, so funny. No extras apart from eye putty [but no eyes]. In the middle of unboxing I got distracted with how cute she is so please see a few photos with her in a wig, with eyes and some clothes. This body is everything and holds so many different poses, I love the engineering, shape and stringing! I can compare resin with my Doll Chateaus - it definitely has more tooth than DC but also scratches/scuffs easily. Normal skin tone is pretty close to DC Peach, but more pinkish, less pink than DC pink though.
Oh wow! I never expected to see them so early! I still have two more payments. I ordered a faceup and body blushing though so we shall see how long it takes before she comes to me.
She is gorgeous. I'm a sucker for elf ears, and that little face is so precious. I've never heard of this company before.
