Three For All (ALM Cocoa + Island Doll Long Qingzhi x2)

Excuse my pun, I think I'm funny 8|

On August 11th, my mom and I ordered three dolls (plus some clothes) from Alice's Collections during good sales for all of them. The ALM Cocoa was discounted and came with a free faceup and the Island Doll Long Qingzhi had a higher discount than usual due to being new releases. ALM Cocoa is my mom's and the Island Doll boys are mine. I thought about getting one with both heads, but I wanted the heads in two different colors so ended up getting two dolls lmao. We intitally did a six month layaway, but on November 11th, Alice told me that the order was ready and I was able to pay it off early on the 18th. Got a tracking number on the 22nd, but FedEx didn't pick them up until December 2nd due to backlog. They arrived safe and sound on December 6th. Still faster than EMS, even with the delay lol

My PukiFee Zoe, Chandler (he's finally named lmao), is helping out. And my white balance was kinda all over the place, so these pics won't really help with colors lol.
This is image heavy!

Hello~! It's box opening time again
Yes it is :'D
I figured they'd all be put into one box, but nope, all three were sent in their own boxes. I'm glad they arrived all at the same time lol. Though, never had tape that said U.S. Fish and Wildlife on it lmao


(link just in case)
No pics of the boxes in the boxes, but here they all are! The ALM box has a dark green lid with white base and the Island Doll boys came in wooden boxes. This was the first time I ever got wooden boxes :'D Though, one of the boxes was coming apart at the base and one of the hinges...


(link just in case)
They stuffed most of the clothes in the Island Doll boxes.


(link just in case)
And some of them in the ALM box lol
Let's get on with it!
Okay, okay. Cocoa is first. ^^


(link just in case)
Cocoa was nicely wrapped up with lots of bubble wrap and a very soft, plush blanket (I want one my size lol)

You have to save her!
Working on it, gotta show the people how ALM packs their dolls since you don't see them often.
But she could be suffocating. D:
She's fiiiine.


(link just in case)
You're right, she's protected by her space helmet. :'D
Exactly. She's perfectly safe.


(link just in case)
And waaaay over blushed. Mom's kinda disappointed in the faceup, due to how heavy the blushing is. At least they omitted the strawberry on the cheek, as requested, though. She's in white skin.

Close up~ She came with these pretty glass eyes. And a pic of her little teeth.
Mom has named her Daisy and she's going to end up with a bright yellow wig. ^^

I'm not sure what they're talking about, but I have a feeling Chandler is going to teach Daisy how to cause trouble. 8|

Continued in next post~

Onto the Island Doll boys!
I'm definitely going to pop all of this bubble wrap later. >:3
But, I want to save it. D:
The bubbles are for popping!



(link just in case)
They were wrapped in lots of bubble wrap and had sleeping bag style pillows.


(link just in case)
More bubble wrap! And the envelopes that have their CoAs in them. There's also a laminated photocard for each doll in the baggies.

Why are the new arrivals always naked?!
Maybe they get too hot when traveling? 8|
They should at least have underpants. D:
We're very glad that Daisy had underwear, even if she was topless lol.
The boys came with these eyes, which are solid black irises (and too big of irises) and have sculpted pubic hair.


(link just in case)
The regular, open eyed head~ He's in normal yellow.


(link just in case)
The special, wink-eyed head~ He's in white. (even though my camera made him too pink lol)


(link just in case)
Inside their heads is an o-ring with a ribbon attached.


(link just in case)
They also have this clear piece on top of the neck. Head mobility is perfectly fine with it. I forgot to get a pic, but the inside of the neck hole has raised places that match the grooves in this piece. The sculpt number is engraved in the piece, the open eyed head is 1 and the wink-eyed head is 2.


(link just in case)
The laminated photocards~ The backs have their measurements, which is nice!

Gave them wigs (5-6) and eyes (8mm). The open eyed head is wearing a Monique BJ with small iris glass eyes from Alice's Collections and the wink-eyed head is wearing a Monique Jade with unknown eyes (they came with Chandler). I don't have characters planned, but I'm pretty sure the open eyed head is going to be a more modern character while the wink-eyed head will be a fantasy character (just haven't decided what type of fantasy).

And last, but not least, the clothing haul~ Top pic is everything together, then mine (minus the black boots & shoes), and mom's (minus the grey boots). The cockatiel shirt is a lot more orange than in the pictures on the site, still think it's adorable even if I'm not a fan of that bright of orange lol. The cockatiel shirt, green shirt, and grey boots were also $1 each thanks to the event Alice had going.

If anyone's interested in seeing more pics of the Island Doll boys, feel free to ask! I don't have any other 1/4 fashion scale dolls (at least until my Dollshe Fashion Arsene arrives if he ever does), but I can get pics of them next to other sizes of dolls (and on their own, of course).

Thanks for looking~

 

Thank you! And yeah, it is. ^^ I got her into them years ago (which wasn't too hard, since she's always liked dolls) and she still has her first doll, too. ^^

Thank you! I like taking lots of photos, just in case, but definitely wanted to take more with these guys since the Island boys are so new (and I've not seen any other owner pics. feel like I'm the only one who ordered him lmao)

Oh, that sounds fun! I hope you enjoy your clothing haul.
I'd love to do another one, cause I still have some naked boys (they're too beefy and have big booties lmao).

Thank you! lol me, too. I guess Fish and Wildlife got a surprise when they opened that box XD

 

He's very handsome, so I totally support getting one lol
If you'd like any more pictures, feel free to ask and I'll see what I can do.

Sadly, I haven't gotten much chance to play with them. I could try taking some posing pics soon?
