Does anyone have this head?

I was looking around on Parabox and saw that they have a new eyehole head for the Obitsu 1/6 slim male bodies. He's so cute! http://parabox.jp/eng_new/para_miroku.html
I'm just wondering if anyone's grabbed one of these yet. I've got some birthday gift money so I'm thinking about it.
(I also just bought a couple of J-Dolls and will post photos of them as soon as they get here :D )

I normally don't toy with buying eyehole heads for 1/6 dolls but seeing as he doesn't have a non-hole alternative I may just grab him and a pair of eyes because he IS pretty adorable isn't he? :D

He makes for a rather cute tomboyish girl. I had been thinking of getting him to reshell Yuri in order for her to step out of Kula's shadow(Kula stole the Gretel head to begin with...)

Probably getting this if i can transfer away some money from my bjd fund :lol:

Do you think JunkySpot will get him in stock?

Could always ask on facebook or email to bring him in.

MeltedCaramel : He really is! :D I like him better than the Ares, which looks a little weird with certain eyes to me.

Iwa_Hoshi: He seems worth it! And that head would be adorable as a girl, too!

OkamiKodomo: I hope so. Like Iwa_Hoshi said, they probably will if we ask nicely. XD

Hah, the Ares head looks amazing with some faceups, and a little bit....sketchy :? with others. I think it has to do with the SUPER ANIME sculpt of his face...except the nose. If he weren't so expensive for a 1/6 vinyl head (plus I don't have $15 to ship two heads the size of a ping pong ball thank you so very much Parabox) I would get one and try and modify the nose into a more 'anime' profile to see if that fixes a bit of the problem. I might do that as a project in the future actually, I've been meaning to find some vinyl smoother so I can start customizing better because I can only handle so much of the limited base models we get, and I don't have the money to buy $150 dolls just to pop their heads off because they've got a unique vinyl sculpt. :lol:

Speaking of heads. Parabox has some new heads coming up mentioned on their Japanese site. The top right one looks like a mini version 1 Megu which I could get for Yuri to be reshell.

Is it just me or are the newer heads starting to look a little...weird on the Obitsu bodies? I don't know if it's the new heads or if the Obitsu bodies could use spiffing up and redesigning to be a bit more aesthetically pleasing (the hard bodied female doll...her boobies...they track you like eyes... :lol: ), the male chest specifically...those weird sharp contours that serve no functional purpose...I don't know!! :? The new heads look nice though by themselves, I wonder what they'll look like without faceups? I think what may be bothering me is that the 'male' looks like a young boy, and I think the face should have been modeled on a 25cm male body at the most.
