Fairyland Sebastian (Kuroshitsuji)...Anyone really SEE him?

[Siead]

some people do amazing custom dolls of sebast, and other characters, from that series. have you thought about building your own?
example: one i found while googling for the fairyland http://zetahadrian.deviantart.com/art/S ... -200788399 (link in that comment section about what body they used/ etc)

Talked to Fairyland's English customer support, and they are sold out and indeed do have a licensing issue which prevents them from making more.

As for customizing one....let me see if I can explain myself adequately here. The girl you linked me to, she used a basic "Osiris" doll from the "Immortality of Soul" company. There was some controversy over this doll because...well...they copied Sebastian down to almost the tiniest detail:

There was a bit of controversy when "Ringdolls" did an obvious Grell Sutcliffe copy as well.

The Osiris doll itself doesn't appeal to me. It has the typical BJD face that lends itself to quasi-realism. The reason I fell in love with Fairyland's doll was the same reason many BJD owners complained about it: It has a rather anime look about it. I'm quite happy with my 1/6 scale fully sanctioned Sebastian actually, but Fairyland's doll held a unique appeal for me. I liked it enough to want to buy out of my "comfort zone" (i.e. 1/6 or smaller).

So it was sort of a "Fairyland or Bust" type deal for me. I have no interest in customizing a 1/3 size doll, especially when it's not the doll I really wanted to begin with...

Am I making sense? I'm sick as a dog and having a hard time seeing the screen and compiling my thoughts into something resembling a coherent sentence.

Not to be scary - but if it was limited and the original price was 92,000 yen - we are talking that was over $900 - possibly $1000. If you do find him, he ain't gonna be cheap

no worries, just figured i'd toss it out there since there are some sculpts that could make a passable, or excellent, sebastian. like resinsoul's Gang, or the mystic kids lawrence.

And I thank you very much for your advice Siead. <3 You're a sweetheart to try and point me anywhere. It's my own weird hangups about this particular character (his face is just...so angular and anime like that any BJD remake I see my mind usually screams "IMPERSONATOR" complete with red klaxon blaring) and this particular doll. I think Fairyland got Sebastian right for a BJD, which was why he intrigued me so.
