I really like the Jadeite sculpt when I saw the face from Dybbuk's box opening, and I went on to email 5Stardoll to see if I could get her on a normal human body. I like the praying mantis, but I wanted a girl, haha. 5Stardoll is actually really nice and replies really fast, and I found out I could get her on a Star10 body.
I actually took a while to decide to get her, mainly because I was trying to save enough paypal funds by selling things. I ordered her after I managed to save enough, which is quite fast, given how 5Stardolls are actually quite affordable! She's the price of the normal Star10 doll (150USD). If I had managed to order her 2 weeks earlier, she would have been 20USD cheaper, but seeing how she is already such a good price, I don't really think it's that big a difference. :)
So, here's the box opening of my lovely girl~
The box she came in.
Flipped it over. I noticed the dent, which was a bit deep...
And the box. The inner doll box got dented/cut too. Ah well. It's a pity but nothing serious.
A closeup of the dent/cut. That aside, the box is quite nice and simple :>
And you probably can't see it while it's in the box, but the box is shrink-wrapped.
Removed the shrink wrap.
She got a card. And a wig, as a gift (:
Haven't open this wig yet, but it looks like a long wig, with bangs, I think?
She came with eyes and putty too. I presume what's in the blue envelope is her certificate, but because it was wax sealed, I didn't open it. Haha.
She doesn't have pillows, just a sort of carrier with a zip.
And here she is! The carrier kept her protected well, and the doll itself was also shrink-wrapped. Haha. First box opening with shrink wrap and not bubblewrap. And her little top is really pretty as well. :>
5Stardoll even bothered to tie a ribbon for ease of removing her head. Which I did use, to put in some eyes.
I took off her top, so I can check for damages. Her lower torso is slightly darker than the upper one. I used a magic eraser on it but it seems to still be there, so I left it. You can see her (: The proportions are much better than I imagined, because I didn't have any photos to base it on, just what the company told me. Haha.
And a closer look. She's actually wearing Nat's eyes, because Nat is now using the spare Mako eyes I ordered from long ago. (I ordered it for him, but didn't think the colour was right. But I went to change his eyes yesterday, so he'll be a bit different for a change.)
Got her standing. She's not the most stable poser, and she's a bit floppy, but fiddle a bit and I got her to stand well enough. I think she might need kips in her shoulders, or a tighter elastic. Haha.
And in pants. I don't have a shirt for her yet.
Here she's with my LTF, who is clearly shorter than she is. 5Stardoll's Star10 line is about 30cm, while the LTF is about 26cm. Also, at this point, I noticed that even though I got her in NS, she looks a lot paler than my LTF...
Grabbed my WS Unoa faceplate to check, and you can see how Jelly (my Jadeite) is closer to the WS than the NS...she is a tad pinker than the Unoa, but overall, mostly white. Apparently, from the replies I got on DoA, this is pretty normal.
5Stardoll has Yellow skin (or NS-Y?) and Pink skin (or NS-P), and I think this is the NS that is the pink one. Someone said the yellow skin might be a closer colour to Fairyland's NS. But you know what this means? It means that once I get the Unoa faceplate a headback, I NEED to try her out on Jelly's body for proportions. The slight difference in colour can probably be easily hidden with more blushing. (Aka if it works out maybe the Unoa faceplate can have a relatively cheap body, haha.)
Oh, and the Jadeite sculpt has a bit of a weird edge in the middle of her face, which you can see as a pronounced bump in her forehead from this angle. Doesn't really show up when she's in a wig, but just something I noticed.
And Jelly says bye, thank you for looking!
