~20cm Dolls Dream Valley Adela fullset - Box Opening (Normal Skin)

Apr 23, 2019

    1. Hello everyone! Some of you may recognize me as the super chatty dork from the DV waiting room; one of my orders finally came in! :fangirl:

      This was my first time ordering from Alice's Collections and it went flawlessly! Alice was really sweet and I look forward to ordering from there again! I ordered them in Normal Skin to see how it would look and I am absolutely enchanted with the result, gives them a lovely fleshtone :XD:

      Anyways, on to pics! I took....so many, so these are just quick details though >.>

      The shipper was covered in tape and each doll's box was safely contained within in its own cardboard box, with lots of foam to keep things in place! I was a bit worried what with all the delicate parts on these guys, but all was well! The event dolls always get a pretty white box, I love it!

      Alice even added a sponge (magic eraser?) and some extra eye putty, thank you so much for the extra gifts! <3

      For those who may be curious, Adela and Gary both came with tiny bits of eye putty in their own boxes as well. I never have any on hand so this was a welcome relief for me ^^;

      Their eyes are literally little black marbles, way cute!

      The first look! They're shy...

      Foam kept them pretty nicely in place; haven't found a chip or scratch anywhere!

      The headcap seam runs under the mouth, both dragons have a cute lil smile under their snouts! <3 <3 <3

      not too much room in there, and Adela's big ears are strung on! Gary's don't appear to be, though.

      Posing is about what you'd expect, but I'm a bit scared to move them too much with all the body blushing ^^; Tail is a big help in balancing them to stand!
      Sadly as you can see above, Adela's right wing is floppy....scared to restring her and fix it >_>;

      Bonus: Shots with Claire (my littlefee Chloe) for size comparison!

      I haven't seen other posts about these guys yet so if anyone has questions or wants to see something, feel free to let me know!

      Thanks for reading! :hug:

    6. Thank you for sharing!
      They're super cute. I'm a bit curious about their posing range but I'd be so scared of scratching those gorgeous blushing too.

    10. D'aww cuties! I've never seen a headcap system like that before, that's super intriguing. I think they're very happy to have come home to you. <3

    11. I like it too :kitty2 Helps the head sit nicely on that thin neck and they have a decent range looking up and down which is awesome! I am supposed to be storing them in my glass display box but I keep taking them out and carrying them around :XD: I'm so happy with ny dears :D
       
    12. Aww, so cute :). I second that comment about headcaps - very insteresting to see.

    21. Thank you!! He's the sweetest~ I hope yours come soon :hug:
       
    22. So cute!!
      How is the resin match with your LTF? I am thinking of getting a DV body for an older FL head and I am getting conflicting answers if the normal or pink skin would be best.

    23. Thanks so much<3 The dragons really brighten up my room, I'm so glad I went for them!

      Okay so i tried to find unblushed parts of my little Azul to compare colors properly (which is why he's headless, sorry everyone ><) [​IMG]
      My advice would be to go for normal skin, since this looks pretty close to me~

      I did buy my dragon family a while back (early 2019?), so I'm hoping the resin shown here is still true to what DV's releasing now :sweat

      Hope this helps! :aheartbea
       
    24. Thank you! Seems some FL matches better with pink and some with normal. I will see how my head looks when it makes it here (it was just shipped, so could be a while).

    26. So adorable! I love them <3 !
