Hello! A long time ago I remember seeing photo stories where currently owned dolls would help unbox the new ones, it seemed adorable, and I thought I would try it! After staring at the promo pics for a while, and viewing what else was for sale, I realized I really, really liked Orion's fullset, outfit and everything, and that no, it was not a common theme, readily available for sale elsewhere. Also, a beast body is uncommon, and this particulary body design is unique to gem of doll, so finding clothes that fit might be trickier than anticipated. So when the fullset came up for sale on Denver Doll, I knew it would arrive in only a few days, and the outfit was already sold out everywhere else, so I caved. He's gorgeous, the outfit is gorgeous and full of little details and I love that about it. It is tricky to get on. I do not think I will be interested in taking it off for quite a while. Helping me with the unboxing is my dream valley Bora, Mishiket. Here is the box: 1. 2. Mishi is very proud to be assisting me in this important task 3. There is decor even on the flap of the box 4. Lots of stuff inside! 5. Mishi is getting tired of waiting to see his new friend! 6. Finally down to the last part! Mishi loses his balance in the excitement 7.Oh no Mishi, where are his ears! 8.Oh thank goodness, there they are 9. Introducing Orion!
The Clothes: 1.The shirt goes on first. It's a see-through fabric, like a veil? It is very easy for his claw like hands to poke holes in the sleeves. 2. The pants seem more durable, of a smooth, polyester, almost stretchy fabric? Mishiket would like to remind me the buckles are undone. They were a pain to buckle. 3. And the coat. The easiest to put on so far, made of a cotton feeling material and with lots of awesome details and accents. Small chain to buckle, fortunately buckle really does hide under embroidered snow flower. Orion is looking cooler now! 4. And the cape, with Mishi showing off the gold detail at the bottom. It's longer on one side than the other. More polyster feeling. 5. For some reason, the fox fullset came with the wig that the human fullset wears! It's a very scratchy feeling wig. I see why fox Orion does not wear it in the promo photos. 6. It also comes with the little hat crown thing! Mishi is wearing the crown of flowers to match. 7. Another wig pic, with the gun, the extra beads and the extra ribbon too, and the buckles buckled. Oh and Mishiket too, of course.
Oooh I'm so glad I saw this. Orion enchanted me from the first time I saw him, but I tried to convince myself that the blushing wouldn't be nearly as gorgeous as it looks in the promotional pics. I'm so happy to be wrong about that, the blushing on him is immaculate, and the gold details are so unbelievably intricate and neat. And those hands! I'm also consistently impressed with the quality of Gem of Doll's clothing - I don't know who does their sewing but the stitch work is always pristine, the seams are always perfection, and the small details like buttons and lace are always so beautifully done with care and precision. Whoever their tailor is, they are worth every penny! Congratulations on your gorgeous new addition, I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of playing with him. Or even just looking at him, I mean, he's just that gorgeous!
@Leenah I do too! I'm glad you enjoyed this one. @slight Thanks! Agree that the face up and outfit look great, really make the sculpt pop! @Cubism Thank you! The gold detailing is quite delicate but also very well done, I was impressed too. Looking at the promo photos again he does not have the pearl beads on his forehead? But it doesn't matter, he looks great without them. I am glad you and others think he is gorgeous too! I was feeling like a one-person cheerleading team Are you planning to get an Orion also? More foxes are always a welcome sight!
The pic of them both wearing their hats is so precious! Congratulations on such a beautiful addition to your doll fam.
Thank you! I had a lot of fun doing this. Orion is so gorgeous. That coat, that cape! Still need to put on his tail put since it is a pin, I am reluctant to pin it on his clothes, I don't want them to get holes (even tiny ones, and it's a decent size pin).
