RS Box Opening! Fei and Tang!
Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2014 10:55 am(X-posted to DOA)
I'm so happy to post that, after a three-month layaway, I got my new doll-and-a-half home safely! They arrived the afternoon of the 17th, but I haven't been on my computer since. So, without further ado...
(As usual, apologies for the phone pictures... I was not about to go down to get my other dolls or my camera. Also, copious dollieh nudes ahead!)
THE BOX!
INSIDE THE BOX!
The first package...
But wait, there's more...
AND MORE!
EVERYTHING! (I was in the middle of lunch when they came, so I put a tray on the messy table so nothing would get too icky.)
Here, I made an executive decision: open from smallest to largest.
Gift eyes! They're the perfect color for my future light tan/coffee Song, Michael.
Ming horns! (For my DZ Hid, Sam.)
TANG HEAD!
He's sooo handsome! And came with lovely aqua eyes. (I got my mom a DT Lu head a while ago, and she has similar eyes in a size or two down.)
A profile shot, because he's gorgeous.
The magical RS bag! I love that they send dolls in these--now I have a good carrier for a doll.
The first glimpse of Siri! She's so beautiful, isn't she?
I took her out... you can't see it, but my hand is shaking.
Fei is such a lovely sculpt, and it goes so well with the delicateness of the Li body.
THOSE HANDS. OMFG.
*Five minutes of excited staring later...*
Standing right out of the box, too! Her stringing is surprisingly nice. (More messy table... )
All the loot!
Close-up on the 14mm gold eyes I got as a gift.
Cordiel in the blue eyes installed in Siri's head. I love how snooty he looks at this angle! It's very fitting.
He's borrowing my DZ Mo's AOD body. It's a bit chunky for him, so I think my next RS order is going to be that LT Song and a WS Wu body... Though I have my eye on a few second-hand bodies, too.
My current crew! L-R: Penemue "Pen" Siyve (WS DZ Mo/AOD body), Samael "Sam" Faym (NS DZ Hid), Cordiel "Cord" Maddox (WS RS Tang head), Leah Tsukino (WS BBB Ariel), and Siri Solberg (NS RS Fei/Li body)!
Leah was my first doll, and obviously that makes her special. I got Sam via an impulse layaway on the MP, and got Pen's head first (Mo was originally Cord's sculpt, but things did not go to plan). So I promised Leah that she would get her girlfriend next--and that's Siri!
Cord was totally uninterested in the fur wig I made him, so I tried making him a feather wig. It was so much fun! He looks rather nice in it, but it's for special occasions. He is a phoenix after all, and since his wings will have to wait (I really want to get him the black kinetic wings from Dollmore, but they're out of my budget at the moment), I wanted to make him at least a little birdy.
Cord = most troublesome doll so far. First he was a DZ Mo. Then a RS Mai. Then they released Tang, and he looked just like the sketches I drew of Cord. Then Sam took his original planned wig. Then the wig I made him wasn't right. Then the DZ eyes I originally got him were too gappy. Then he didn't look right in the RS eyes.
I just bought him a new wig, and I stuck the DZ eyes in him anyway. He looks way more like himself. I have a pair of eyes from Pink Fantasy on eBay that should come this week, and we'll see how those work. Just changing the eyes made me instantly bond with him, though! <3
Cord's original sculpt and original wig, taken when I paid off my MOC layaway for the Mo head, that wig, and those eyes last May.
Bonus Sam! I glued in his magnets and put on his horns last night. They make such a huge difference! He is fully-realized.
I am soooo happy! My little group is coming along.
I think my next priority is going to be a body for Cord, in a couple months, if the stars align and everything. If not, it'll probably be getting Michael (LT RS Song) and Cord's body from RS. And after that, the MASSIVE ORDER OF DOOM! (I'm still trying to figure out specifics. It's probably going to be a Doll Chateau K-08 body, a DollZone Carter, and a Ro head, though I might get the Ro head on the DZ 009 body and get a Doll-Love Kaja. Ro head + DC body = Hikaru, and Carter/Kaja + DZ body = Fallon.)
Thanks for watching!
