Jack with his purple and green streaked hair. Sharpies are awesome but kind of smelly for colouring fur wigs.

On a side note, so many of my dolls' headcap magnets are falling out, it's not even funny. Hew and Sion's have long fallen out. Nat's was after he came back from faceup. Cail's came out yesterday (all 4 of them, which implies that nobility's glue isn't strong enough for the super strong magnets), and lo and behold, Tiyana's came out today when I was switching her head with Jack's. ...I need to get super glue and glue everyone's back. That's like more than half my crew with fallen out head magnets, of which 2 (Nat and Cail) have severely loosely headcaps that will definitely fall out once I lay them flat on the floor. :/

Caillen's box opening [Esthy Peroth]

It's actually not that long since my last box opening, but I was super excited for this particular one, since I've been eyeing a Peroth since a long time ago and didn't buy him because he was selling for much more than I can afford/am willing to pay for just a head on the secondhand market. Super glad he was re-released. Okay, box opening time :D




The bubblewrap isn't super thick, so I can see him from the start already, the faint NS colour, haha.


Box. Similar clear plastic box to the one Leeke gave me for my Mihael except smaller.


And after turning it around, I saw the "Distant Memory" sticker. Oh yeah, I know I still call the brand Esthy when they're supposed to be Distant Memory now, but old habits die hard. Technically he came from Nobility though, which makes it more difficult to call...So he's a Distant Memory Peroth rerelease from Nobility. Lol.


Can you see his lips?


One layer of bubblewrap off, and I can see the head inside already. :)


Another blurry shot of his lips.


And his neck hole. The resin is the same as my Nobility body. I was wondering if they would use a different shade for Peroth but I guess not. Well, good news for me anyway. Means he can share a body with Nat since Nat's on a Nobility Emotional body.


Hello there!


And a photo of his magnets.


Inside his head.


And with some random eyes (really, the only extra pair of eyes I have)...his brown eyes would be arriving soon. I just need to go collect them from the GO organiser, haha. Oh yes. The resin match is 90% to the Nobility Emotional body I have. Head looks just a teeny weeny bit yellower in real life but you can't really tell unless you are staring, and it's virtually nonexistent in photos, until I told you and now you're probably staring really hard trying to spot any color difference.


And a further shot of him clothed. More for proportions than anything. Caillen is pretty tall as a character though, so he would need a different body, but I should be prioritising Tiyana's body, so he's stuck with sharing for a long long time. Most likely.


And lastly, a close up! It's a bit blurry. I'm rusty from not having used my camera for so long in manual mode.

I'll be busy for a week at least, but I'm going to try faceuping him after that, because he just has so much potential. I keep seeing him as Zeke, but hopefully a faceup would make him more like Caillen (because Zeke is grumpy but Caillen has a smirk, and the sculpt is so obviously grumpy, haha).

[edit]

Since someone requested for it, I got photos of Peroth in Nobility's NS with a 06 Volks NS. The Volks part is the inner torso part so the only sort of yellowing is the yellowing with age. Volks looks pinker and peachier. But they are pretty close so maybe 80% match? 2nd photo is more accurate in terms of colour.

First time I have a curly fibre wig, and man, is her wig long. I'm not used to dealing with such long curly wigs, and I'm not sure if the wig would end up in a tangled state soon. >_< Hopefully I'll get better with styling it. I need to learn how to tie braids and such, because that's Tiyana's style. But of course I've no idea how, since I mostly have short hair, so I think I'll have to learn it soon.



And another quickly edited photo, because I think the bag she's carrying is pretty cool. It's actually a super small coin purse for humans, that I thought would make a good handbag for her. I bought 2 different designs, and I like the other one (white with green birds) better, but she's wearing such dark clothing so this bag came out. I'm too lazy to change her, cos the S hook is a bitch (stupidly small hole in her head means I have to use hands sized s hook, and those are annoying to deal with.) I did buy a skirt and blouse for her, and that means she'll have something new to wear. And also, I forgot to mention, the purse works. Like it clicks open and closed. And it was like, $4.90 (SGD), so it's pretty worth it.

Honestly, I need to save up to get her a body, and stop just saying that, and actually DO it. On a higher note, supia old body is a good proportion for Vivien heads :D

Zeke seems to match Sion's body (LM type A) better than Hew's (LM type B). Which doesn't really make sense, but whatever matches. Anyway, this is a checkered shirt that I thought was a really gross colour, but looks pretty decent when worn. This photo has been colour edited to bits, so you can't tell the original colour, but my point is that I'm always amused by how clothes look different as is, and when worn, both for human clothes and doll clothes.

For some reason, they look reasonably similar to my naked eye, but my photo shows Elfdoll as a yellower shade? Though I have to say that Elfdoll does look a bit more pink than dollmore in real life.

Dennis doesn't get to go for meets or anything as often as my other dolls. Maybe because I feel he's too shy or un-photogenic, but maybe also because he's special, and I want to keep it that way, by not bringing him to show others as often. Okay, I sound really weird when I write it like that. I guess what I really mean is, Dennis is a representation of my moody and pessimistic side, and I don't want to expose it/him like that. Yeah.

Now that was probably more than you wanted to know.

Finally finished her faceup!

I've been searching through doll companies and such looking for a suitable body for her. Something broad shouldered, slim but not anorexic looking, and with small breasts (or at least not huge ones that stick out like they are fake.) and I THINK Island Doll might be a good choice (Well, actually I really like Supia body but I don't think it'll match. That and it's hard to get.). But it seems that doa doesn't have much information about the resin match and such so I've no idea whether/which of the skintones matches.

Gah. I'm waiting for her wig too. So yeahhhh.

On another note. I took a long look at my Khal head yesterday and I still think he's a good Zeke but I'm wondering if Peroth is offered as a head, would I buy Peroth as Zeke? Should I? I don't want 2 heads for the same character, so it means 1 would have to go...and I'm reluctant to sell. At the same time I don't want to make up another character just to fit either 1 of them or something, cos it'll mess with the story I have now. And that's all assuming that Peroth would be offered as a head. If he's sold as a full doll only...well, I don't think I can even buy him. D: Haven't been saving much. Uni life eats up my allowance pretty fast. Argh.
