My WS Mei finally arrived and I am very pleased to have her. In fact, I was so excited (and surprised by how small her box was since my first doll ever was a 70cm who arrived in a box nearly bigger than myself) that I ripped open her box so quickly I forgot to go get my camera and take some pictures to document it! However, with my phone handy, I managed to grab some sub-par photographs to share her arrival with you all! I promise to take some better pictures when she meets Perry, my boy.
Hello little Lark! I hope you had a safe trip!
She looks pretty peaceful here however when I first opened her, she was all sorts of twisted and her headcap was no where near her head.
First thing was first, take out her default yellow eyes and replace them with the pretty grey ones I purchased for her. After I struggled to pull out all of RS's horrible goopy eye putty, I thought it would be a good time to give her some eyelashes (since with the hot weather and the rain coming I'm not sure when I'll get around to giving her a faceup).
Much better!
Since I had her head open, I figured I should tighten her strings right up (knowing BBB/RS I knew they'd be loose but sheesh hers were LOOSE). Using my teeth and knees and all my fingers, I got her pretty tight. So tight in fact that All I did was plop her on the tray and she stood like a perfect little angel. Didn't even need to do any adjusting! I was pleased. Put on her wig cap and wig and stood her up again without any hassles. I'm proud of her standing ability!
After several embarrassing naked photos I figured it was time to dress her. She was pleased with the outfit I chose for her. No shoes yet. They're on the way
Sorry the pictures aren't the greatest as they were taken with my phone but I promise when she meets Perry soon, I will take out my camera and get some better shots
