DZ 1/4 Body Box Opening xposted

My ResinSoul Jun finally got his upgrade to a double-jointed body. And because his character is a cuddly, gentle sort, I went with a Dollzone body instead of the more muscular ResinSoul one. During the Leftovers Junky Spot sale, Emory had a white skin DZ body on sale, so I caved and snapped it up. It arrived today! His old body went to a good cause, chiennejin's Alex, which is a ResinSoul Li. Head and body went into a dye bath a day after my order was placed, so poor Rune has been a floating head for a week!

BOX! I was pestering chiennejin and KuroKitty for days going "boxboxboxboxbox" while waiting. Apparently my dog thinks I'm crazy. Or maybe he's just grumpy that I didn't let him chase the UPS man.
Image

Vorelvaeri, my girl ResinSoul Wu, wants to see what all the fuss is about too.
Image
Vorel: "My body came in a box like this too!!"

I haaaaaaaaate packing peanuts. They get everywhere. >.< It took me fifteen minutes to confine them to the bag.
Image

Telltale white box! I love their logo. >3<
Image

Must have been older stock. The top of the box was dusty and had some smudges on it.
Image

Junkyspot goodies!! And holy cow that chunk of eye-putty is huge! It's the size of a block of Sculpy clay. o.o And the two sets of lashes I ordered. Now all my dolls have lashes. The gold ones are for Vorel, the black ones are for Rune.
Image

The bubble-wrap mummy. My heart always starts pounding right here, because I worry that a finger will be broken.
Image

But all is well!
Image

Hehehehe.... I'm sorry, this picture amused me. You know they say God gave man two heads and only blood enough to run one at a time. Personally, I'm convinced that both of them are connected by one long cord, which is why men get full on stupid when you kick em in the nuts. But the resin match isn't too bad. I won't even have to redo Rune's face-up. The headcap of course is less yellowed, but it's also stained somewhat grey-ish because of his wig. But I don't feel like peeling off the velcro to scrub it down.
Image

It photographs much better without flash, and the difference is barely noticeable in person. Honestly, it matches better than his original un-blushed body did.
Image

And put together! Still have to put his lashes in and put his clothes on, but this is actually a pretty close true-to-life picture, though I had a cooling filter turned on, to cancel out the orange afternoon light.
Image

And without the filter.
Image

A few more pics, first with flash, second without flash. I really can't believe how well they match. I was told that I was taking a risk with trying to match ResinSoul white to Dollzone white, but I guess Rune was a bit more yellowed than I thought he was.

Image

And here is Rune all dressed, with his lashes in, and sitting with Alex, who now has his old body. You would never know Alex used to be a white doll. His dye came out so even!

Rune looks great on the new body, also... thought it was a dog statue until I went back and realized he wasn't in all the photos... >.>

lol! No, Kiba is not a taxidermy project! But he does have very hilarious expressions.

Rune is thrilled with his upgrade and so am I!

Dollzone bodies are great, and Rune looks very happy! So does Alex! What color dye did you use?

I love dollzone bodies - but then I have like four or five (or six) DZ dolls so I'm biased LOL.

And I am joining the "I thought it might have been a dog statue" group hahahahaha - i think the perspective just makes him seem small in the background and it's such aclassic dog statue pose :)

If it wasn't for the half winking expression I totally would have though he was fake. He's just too cute!
