With the wonderful gift of monies at Chirstmas I headed to JS to order him. Before I finalized anything, though, I decided to peek into the clearance section. Apparently these poor dolls have been sitting too long in stock and need to make way for the more popular kids, and are offered at a very nice discount. That's were I found the boy who I purchased instead of Wu: a DZ Aaron. At only 5 dollars more than I planned on spending, he was too hard to pass up. What swayed me most was that I have heard that RS bodies are cranky posers, but I already knew that the DZ body he has is very nice at posing.
And, boy, did I make the right decision! I had never even payed attention to this sculpt before, but he is absolutely gorgeous! His sculpt has been retired, which is a shame, because he really is lovely, and there seem to be very few owners out there.
Enough talky- here he is: Aubrey Ebenezer Aldrick IV!
MOC actually still had his fullset outfit in stock, including the boots!
Here's a closeup of his face. He came with with a variant faceup.
While waiting for him to arrive, I figured he would be a bit of an arrogant, pretentious snot, but he seems to be a very nice, if serious, fellow.
Aira seems happy to have another guy in the house, and Aubrey doesn't seem to mind hanging with someone lower class. (he's very polite)
And here re all 4 of my 1/4 DZ kids together. (taken to compare skin tones)
I don't know if I've ever been happier with a doll purchase!
As a side note, though I am his first owner, I have no clue how old he is. He is a white skin, and was in stock long enough to start to yellow. Does anyone out there who has experience with DZ white have a guesstimate on how old he might be based on his current skin tone? (he's my first white) I hear they start our paper white, so comparing him to his wig, I assume he might be at least a couple of years old?
