they could grip it by the husk!

Oooh... yes. Gang and Feng are both really nice. Gang's a bit more proportional. The Feng is sorta... like Gang was stretched? Hahaha... He's perfect for one of my characters, but only cause Abe IS all long and stretchy looking. hehehehe...

If you get the Gang, you'll probably want to re-string him unless you like the BBB/RS flop (some do). I'm told he's got improved joints over my BBB Apollo. I think he looks fabulous. He's a hard one to keep in stock over at Junky. I know Emory gets shipments from them often (he sends his orders in small batches and so they send out new stock more frequently.) I don't know how long it takes to order from the company directly, I've never tried it. I like all the free stuff Emory sends out. LOL

Can't wait to see the doll you end up with. And we'll always be here to help with whatever questions you have. :-)

So there's an LS on your list now, is there? Have I enabled? :twisted: I do loooove my LS Ivan's body - very attractive and the easiest to pose of my big guys, even though he's so huuuuuge.

Thanks again!

Final question - what is the normal skin tone like? Is it the model shown in the photos - or is that the white skin tone? It's kind of hard to tell if he's pure white or v.v.pale in those photos.

NS for BBB/RS or another company?

Yeah for BBB/RS is it comparable to white skin for obitsus? Or is it a bit darker? - sorry should have specified

BBB white is paper-white. It's super-super white. Go look at my photo-story titled Uninvited Guests. Foster is a BBB Wu in white, if that helps.

Jillian is a BBB natural/normal skintone. She's a soft peachy color.

Ryan is the BBB light tan.

I should just take a picture of them all lined up for ya.


edit:

Oh, and To Solitary Agent:

YES!! YOU ENABLER YOU! The super-tall pink-skin-tone Loongsoul will be almost perfect for Jim, and the knees should match the Soom wolf-feet I bought from Dark Angel a while back. The thicker size of the super-hero Iplehouse is actually best for Jim, but that particular doll is SO pricey I'm really not sure I could ever justify the cost. $500 is still higher than what I said I'd ever pay for a doll, but anyway. Who knows, with me, as fickle as I am, there's no telling what will actually happen once I decide to buy Jim.

Nekobelle is a default Obitsu head on a BBB NS body. If that helps for color comparison?

It's honestly almost a perfect match. :D

Thanks! That's exactly what I was hoping for! I don't want an unnaturally white guy for now, but I was unsure how dark natural skin was. The photos looked like Gang was a pale natural skin, but then their tester page for skin tone made natural look quite pink.

Update: Yeah... I'm definitely going to be buying him before the end of the year - I've already bought an item of clothing for him... o.O
