      Kitty: Uuuugh. Too exhausted from Samhain trip. Jason, can you get the door? Maybe Rin ordered pizza.
      Jason, offscreen: What! Why me?
      Alec: Because YOU didn't transfer terminals and aircraft three times in Dallas yesterday. I need 3-5 business days to recover.
      Kitty: Ha ha, you're old.

      Jason: Oh, sure, fine, make the smallest guy go get the door... [grumble]

      Jason: ...
      Jason: GUYS??? I'm gonna need some help!

      Alec: What the hell is this?
      Kitty: Well, if you ask me, it looks like a really big corpse.
      Alec: I did not ask you.

      Kitty: Hold up. I smell resin.

      [​IMG]
      Alec: Oh, what fresh hell...
      Kitty: Augh! Not a corpse!

      Saw this guy going for a song on ebay and even though I swore I would never go larger than MSD size, I got a big boi now. No clue what to name him or what his character's going to be, but I love him already. :D

      Set him up at my roommate's laptop to baffle and confuse her when she gets home from work. xD

      ETA: No idea why it looks like half the images are broken, they show up fine in the preview window! You should be able to click through in the meantime, sorry for the inconvenience!

      And I am VERY open to name suggestions!

    4. I saw him on ebay as well (I check trying to help a friend)! Lovely to see he has a good new home. And he looks like he fits in perfectly with your crew, congrats on your first big boy!

    5. Congrats on receiving the new boy! He's got a lovely classic face. I enjoyed this little box opening story, how everyone is very puzzled about how to get along with a big guy :lol: Still, he seems like he'll fit right in. ^^ Thanks for sharing!

    6. I love the way all your dolls help out with unboxings, it's so cute seeing all their personalities come out as they interact with the newcomer.

      You said you're open to name suggestions, and frankly that's my favourite part of getting a new doll of any kind - learning their name and personality. So I'll offer you a few suggestions and my thinking behind them, and maybe something will click.

      Cypress: Apollo, in mythology, is said to have loved a boy called Cyparissus, from which we derive the name of the Cypress tree. Cyparissus was said to have been turned into a tree when he (accidentally) killed a stag, and with your Apollo being your tallest boy, he is rather like a Cypress tree in comparison (Cypress trees can grow to as high as 82 feet)

      Orpheus: Because Jason was the one who ultimately found and 'rescued' your new boy, even to the point of being thanked for his role in it, naming him after one of the Argonauts seemed appropriate, and Orpheus is probably the most well known of them (Can you tell I really love mythology and folklore?) Orpheus was also a bard, and your Apollo is dressed kind of like he's in a garage band, or at the very least, very into music.

      Aidan: It's a Gaelic name meaning 'born of fire' or 'the fiery one' - the blaze of red in his wig made me think of it.

      Ira: I'm just fond of unusual names, especially ones that start with an odd letter. Ira is particularly unusual in that it only exists as a male name in a couple of cultures - in the rest of them, it's almost exclusively a feminine name.

    8. Thank you! He really does have such a lovely face ^^

      I was sure other people on the forums had an eye on him, so I was surprised he didn't get snapped up before I got paid, haha. After a little while, it's pretty normal to have him around!

      He's gonna fit right in with this chaos squad whether he wants to or not. ;)
      Funny story, but I'd been kicking 'Aidan' around as a possibility with some friends, and hearing this from you when I asked for suggestions? Aidan he is. :)

      Thank you! They let me let out my inner chaos gremlin. >:3 It's going to be fun putting this poor guy in Situations.
