Box Opening! Meet Bríean~

Postby TasiaChiba » Thu Oct 03, 2013 10:14 am

Coming out of lurkdom because I realllly wanted to share~

So, my camera is still AWOL and I really haven't had a chance to look for it, lol! But a boy I've waited a LONG time (years) for has finally come home to roost and I really, really wanted to share him, so showing off my really crappy unboxing photos taken with my tablet. I promise for updated photos as soon as I DO locate that camera~ It went missing right after a trip... here's to hoping I didn't officially lose it... ^_^;

For many reasons, either due to finances, family emergencies, or just poor timing, I was never able to purchase my much longed-for Shiwoo. I had always wanted to purchase the full doll brand new with the dreaming vampire head, since my character is a vampire et al. Then I missed purchasing him before the Luts discontinuation. When I would look for him on the second-hand, I could only find full dolls over-priced or floating heads in white skin only. Such was my luck! lol! I finally spied a vampire head, un-modded, normal skin, and nearby that I simply couldn't pass up. I'm reserved about about his state, but I've seen worse~

I still hold out hope his standard will get a re-release at Fairyland, but until then I have a gorgeous vamp in my hands!

Pooooor lighting shows crumpled newspaper wrapping/packaging. Top of package shot.

Image
Inside the newspaper is moar wrapped head (beside package).

Image
Me unwrapping the head, hee~ My hands were totally shaking~

Image
And, here he is, folks!! *_* Isn't he precious? =slowly moves fingers away from very dangerous teethies= And don't you just love how cameras turn all hands, including my tiny ones, into meat palms? whee~

Image
Obligatory up-the-nose shot showing off teethies~ I swear, total reason I wanted the vamp head so much... those blamed teethies! Only the elf head has tiny teethies other than this one.

Image
Tape spot on the top of the head cap... there's more of a color difference than the photos show~ But I do get to see just how pink he used to be~ ^_^

Image
He came with these random drill holes that I can fathom no purpose to, lol~ I'm assuming whoever did the drilling snapped the mech off when drilling, because it's definitely been re-glued, heh.

And that's all I've got so far! I've spent the past week watching a race between my MSC arrival and my Dollmore order~ Wonder what will get here first~ MSC is slated for Monday and oh, but does that feel so far away! Until then, Bríean must remain face-less... =le sigh=

And eyeless and wigless... because I haven't bought either yet... purchasing him was totally a surprise... =flails=

Absolutely MUST find that camera!

Congrats! Grail dolls can be frustrating but gods it's fun once they're here! Ooh little teeth! I had no idea that Vampire Shiwoo had a full set in there! Huh I wonder how many versions of him Luts came out with? I hope the MSC arrives soon so Bríean can get his face (and that you find your missing camera... I hate it when stuff goes missing, I always end up messing up everything looking for it...) Also he's adorable!

Thank you so much! Goodness, he is absolutely a grail doll... and the years that have passed as I tried to get him... =faints= But I am nothing if not persistent and patient, lol!

And yes, TEETH! For the longest time I didn't know about them, then one day I saw a MP sales photo that revealed their existence, heh. I had thought only the elf head had them, but nope! They're like the deep dark secret of the vamp head that no one wants to mention. O_o; Still, in person they are so amazing.

I admit to being in full on squeal mode when I realized that they aren't just flat carved in there... there's a definite BACK side to those teeth!!! All in such a tight and tiny space.

As for versions, there's just the standard, the LE elf, and the vamp. The standard was used for their art versions. I do think it funny their vampire version has normal human ears, though~ Other molds got the "elf vamp" treatment, albeit with shorter elf ears. ^_~

Yisssssssss~

I have plans for two more vamps in my dolly family. One is to be a CP Juri A and the other's mold is still undecided, but I have plenty of time and options! ^^
