Victoria Hollow comes home - Dollmore Trinity Lumie

[Stormlight]

Okay! Trying this again. In the right forum, this time.

I was starting to think she wouldn't show up until next week, but around 2:30, the doorbell rang and there stood the postman with a really HUGE box and a smaller box on top. My sister actually got to the door before I did, and all I heard from her was "Whoa." I knew instantly it was for me. :dance


The guy tells me the small box is pretty light but the big one is REALLY heavy, and he wasn't kidding! I thought my 70cm boys were hefty but holy cow! They're featherweights in comparison! lol


Anyhoo! On with the show. I did it down in my own space because everyone is home and I prefer privacy as I make a huge mess. :blush


The two boxes:








See? Huuuuuge box. Took up pretty much the entire length of my bed! My cat (you can kinda see her behind the box) gave me one wide-eyed glance, and then quickly proceeded to look unimpressed. I guess she's seen me open enough dolls that she isn't phased anymore.


Let's start with the small goody box.





Ooooo! Stuff! I like stuff. Stuff is fun!


First up is ... the free goodies bag. It contains the new Dollmore calendar, a bookmark, a little comb thingy, and oooo stuff for Victoria! A free wig, another pair of eyes, a shirt, and a pair of striped stockings!





Next is the white gothic dress, red wig, boots, and two pairs of eyes I'd bought for her.





And what's in the hatbox, I wonder?




Ahhh! Her fullset stuff! Very nice.

Next box in next post.

And now for the main event. I LOVE that she comes with her own carry bag, instead of another huge box I'd probably just throw away.






MUMMY!




I had to take a shot of her gorgeous hands. Beautiful blushing job.




And here she is, sans clothes. And there is my other cat, laying behind her. Looking equally unimpressed. They are both totally ignoring the gigantic box on the floor behind the bed. I guess no cat-in-the-box shots this time around. Those rebels.




And, here she is fully dressed, after a rather difficult struggle to lift her heavy ass and maneuver her into it. I'd imagine dressing babies and toddlers might be similar. Only with less wriggling involved.





I'll probably wait awhile before trying her other wigs and clothes and changing her eyes. I absolutely love her faceup. I do have to message Dollmore, though, and let them know that her foot is obviously chipped around the edge, and ask if they'll send a replacement (although since I'd ordered seam sanding, it'd have to be sanded, too). I'm not TOO fussed over it, but still, I'd rather not risk it chipping worse or developing into a crack or anything. I'd had worries about her arriving with broken fingers or something, so in comparison a chipped foot is ... well, not BETTER, but at least it can be hidden with shoes.

Anyhoo! There is my box opening. I may get up the energy to drag a couple of my dolls out and set them up beside her for comparison shots later. We'll see.

Incidentally, both of my cats are curled up behind me on the bed and STILL ignoring the huge-ass box on the floor. They are just no fun anymore.

She's lovely, congrats!
Those spoilsports, cat in box pictures are the best. XD

I know, right? I actually flipped the box over, so now they have a little "cave" to hide in. They're all over that! Naturally, can't get any decent pics of them in it.

This morning I decided to change Tori's outfit, eyes, and wig. I really like the red eyes. Still have to try the bright turquoise on her, though, and Dollmore sent a free pair that are pale peach.

And I took a shot of her standing with my Dollmore Model boy, who is 70cm. He stands almost as tall to her as she stands to me! And after maneuvering her heavy body around, lifting him was like whoa! Where'd all his weight go?

Amazing! She's absolutely beautiful and I love the outfit and wig, too!! She's so BIG! WOW! You must be so happy with her!! Just lovely!!!!!

I love Dollmore dolls----they're so beautiful, and expressive!

[Stormlight]

Oh, I know! I am thrilled with her. And she's going to be spoiled, I can tell. I just got back from the mall and I have a bag full of infant clothes for her. She can supposedly wear size 24 month leggings and skirts, and I think size 2 or 3 toddler in shirts and such. And in shoes she can wear a size 4 to 5 toddler. So I managed to find some good deals in clothes, and one pair of pale gold shoes with a rose on the top. So cute! And I paid less than half the cost for all of this than I did for that single white outfit from Dollmore. lol Haven't tried the clothes on her yet, I have to be out and running again shortly. But it does look like they'll fit her pretty well.

She's a giant!

She is lovely though.

[AlmySidaKay]

I saw your photos on Facebook and I'm just utterly thrilled with how adorable she is! She looks really great with the red hair and the white dress! <3

[littlesamuraigirl]

She is gorgeous and wow I didn't even know they made BJDs that big o.o How tall is she, exactly?!

Congrats on her arrival! ^^

O.O I love the red eyes and wig on her! Can't wait to see more. ^_^
