After waiting almost 7 months for a shipping notice for this boy, he proceeded to meander in transit for 46 days without an update in shipping. He finally showed up today. He is a Doll Leaves Evan in normal skin on the V3 body. First the shipping box, which I opened of course… … to reveal the doll box. So far so good. The first look at the contents. I got the wrong jointed hands, I’ve already written the dealer. First look at the boy. His head cap had gone flying and one of his human ears detached too. No damages to the resin at all! There’s the face! I can definitely see the hand sculpted aspects of the head, the nose and eyes are uneven, but it adds a certain charm. Standing right out of the box. He stands better than he sits, so I’m gonna wire his thighs and hip sockets. Of course I do not want to keep the human ears on him, given that he is a grumpy elf. Just look at the length of this elf ear! To get it to stay in place I had to add eye putty to the ear sockets. Swapped his eyes and got him dressed, I’m glad this grueling wait is finally over. Topaz is gonna be fun to paint. Extra: Cat tax!
Thank you! I'm so glad he finally, FINALLY, made it! I am planning on painting him today, I'll be sure to tag you when I post him painted. Thank you! I have two cats, both or bengals, but the pictured cat, Jhana, is the box cat!
Thank you! My other cat has already nuzzled and headbutted him for pets! Thanks! I am so relieved he made it in one piece. I'm not happy with the wig, but I just ordered him a different one. I also just put him back together after doing his faceup this morning. He was being a stubborn butt about letting me put in eyelashes. So here he is in his unenthused glory: @mydaffer & @Seafoam Shade: I promised to tag you both once he was painted!
Very cool! His faceup has such a lovely soft look, and really good definition with the eyebrows! Also that outfit is amazing Another thing, but feel free to ignore me if you've got it covered. Those cans of Mr super clear look like they're in a place where they could fall. The company makes the cans pretty sturdy, but any sort of pressurized container can leak if it falls or gets hit just right. If one of gets dented or develops a pinhole leak it could be very bad for you and your pets respiratory health. It might be good to put them inside a box or other closed container for storage when your not using them. Thank you for sharing photos and congratulations on your new doll!
Thank you! He matches the character perfectly Thank you! And no need to worry about my MSC stash, it is quite secure on the shelf. I fortunately do not live anywhere near an earthquake zone, nor do my cats climb this shelf! Thank you! Thanks, and he definitely got enough ears for that! in other news, this morning I damaged his Faceup like the dolt that I am, so to keep from redoing his whole Faceup I just added scars (which do work with his backstory).
@IzabethS Okay good : ) thank you for understanding. Those scars work really well. Nice creative solution to faceup scratches!
Thank you! Thanks! The waIt was grueling for sure, but he's here now and once his new wig arrives he'll be perfect.
