Despite ordering him ~2 months after my recent DZ girl, my RS guy has just arrived! (Really was not expecting that at all, I think any plans of doing anything non-doll productive today have just committed suicide...)
Garan is a dark tan ai on gang body, and yeah, seam lines etc are visible, but the colour is perfect for the character I had in mind (medieval/fantasy wizard who's literally been to Hel and back, and so has had much of the colour sucked out of his life, as represented by a slight greying of his skin - so the cold brown of RS chocolate was brilliant when I saw it!)
He's gorgeous, and despite expecting the worst stands straight out of the box just as well as Drax did, but with that characteristic RS slouch due to his hip joints. (Yes Elrana I am glaring at you with your kicky legs... )
If anything I think they might have made a point of imrpoving their elastic - it looks thicker than the stuff that's inside Drax, but I suppose time will tell. (Also yay - free wig , only issue is, it's the exact same shade of red as Drax's hair, and suits both of the new arrivals perfectly... So my 1st boy is now having a hissy fit that he's not the only special snowflake in the family...) And massively impressed by the dual head cap system they've got going on for their magnet/horns, even though I've got v.little intention of using it, though new ideas are forming as I type this...
Erana "Heh shorty, I've got your hair"
Garan " Well at least I don't have a permanent grimace"
unexpected horns!
excess elastic
cool double layer head cap
Wearing the wig that arrived with him
Elrana having stolen the wig, looking very smug, and channeling the Black Widow somewhat...
His intended wig, which the ears are making difficult to get a decent fit
Elrana has again stolen it, luckily she seems to think it makes her look odd
Wearing most of the brilliant outfit made for him by RogueWolf - she made the staff too! (Though I admit the shiny copper and unfinished knob on the end are all my fault...)
Full wizard mode, love his little wizards bag! - I've decided that his horns are manifestations of his magic/appeared after he returned from Hel
Edit: Phew - squabble over wigs is now over... Elrana has settled on her v.short brown wig, Garan the long black wig with braids, and Drax can remain a special snowflake, and now has possession of his own short red and the frizzy red seen here...
