Introducing Patrick. He's a hybrid Crobidoll Ys head and Mirodoll body. I'm glad that my floating head finally gets a body! I didn't plan on sticking the Ys head on the Miro at first cause Patrick really should be closer to 67cm but it worked out pretty well so I figured, hey, why not? It's not like it's permanent.

Mirodoll's 'normal' skintone is a nice pinkish cream that is comparable to Bobobie's fleshtone. The resin is nice, smooth, creamy, and I didn't notice any marks or bubbles on him.

This shot shows the definite skin mismatch. The Crobi head is way more yellow than the Miro body.

Lookit that chest! This doll is REALLY muscular and thick. The 1/3 clothes barely fit him. The hands are feet are really huge, the thighs are thick too. He's pretty solidly built though he really needs a restringing. He doesn't stand very well so I think a re-string and perhaps some hot glue sueding in the joints will help.

This is the girl Mirodoll body I bought paired with a Xue head so you can see the resin match. The head was really dirty when I bought it but I imagine once cleaned up the match will be even better. When she's finished up she'll be Josephine Wolfe.

Yay red heads!! He looks great! And that resin match on the girl is really good. Better than some of the Dollzone resin matches from different batches I have.

I think the proportions are really good on Patrick, and I'm looking forward to more characters from you!

I think those are both really nice matches! Patrick is one handsome dude and he knows it :P I just love his outfit. LOVE. I have to ask where it's from.

Thanks guys. It occurred to me I didn't have any redheads in my crew yet. *gasp* He's supposed to have freckles too, but I've not added them yet.

Patrick's outfit is actually just a hodge-podge of random clothes I had in my bin. The shoes were an ebay find, the jeans and vest came from Alice's Collections, and the blue shirt is actually Ivan's and it came from a swap two years ago. The vest is too small actually, doesn't meet in the middle. Patrick seems to be too big for 1/3 items so I think I'm going to have to buy him 70cm clothes and shorten the legs and arms. He's really thick.

hehehe.... I love Patrick. He's high strung, overly animated, and hasn't quite figured himself out yet. He's Jim's best friend since childhood, but I don't have Jim. I'm thinking of having an ebay yard sale of epic proportions to help raise up funds for him. Jim is going to be a tan Spiritdoll Cedar.

thanks so much. I'm excited, I should do a photostory with him some time this week if there's time. I wanted to make some sort of "get ahead in life" joke but keep coming up blank. Patrick was already a head, he just got a borrowed body. LOL
