AC haul: DC Lillian SP, MiracleDoll

Found it weird getting a text from DHL saying they had a delivery on the way for me, even more so when I hadn't received any email saying anything had been shipped off. The only thing I would have on the way shipped with DHL was my order at Alice'sCollections - but that one I didn't expect any time soon and hadn't got a mail saying they had shipped it off yet. Only logical being a bit skeptical, but it was the only sane conclusion, and, sure enough, a few days later I got a mail from AC with tracking number.

I didn't really know if it was everything I had ordered, as I had added a body and a head at various points, so that was going to be exciting to see.

It then arrived, a nice big box of goodies!

Three "little" boxes, neatly packed and just waiting for me to open them and see what's inside!

In the first, smaller, cardboard box was this beauty - DollChateau Lillian SP i peach skin. Got a pair of free glass eyes in a size much too big for the head, which I believe takes either10mm or 12mm eyes. It wont get to be wearing ordinary eyes anyway, want something fantasy for it, something with glitter, pearls and little glittering stones in them. The nose was way pointier than in the pictures, might do a bit of sanding, might not, it is a fantasy creature after all.

In the second largest was this fancy black suitcase-like box. Inside, covered up like some bubble-wrap mummy, was this gorgeous lad - MiracleDoll Chi Zhu, Little Moth, in normal skin with extra parts in transparent resin on the associated Moth bust stand. I'm still not over all that fine detailing in both bust and extra parts, his face is so soft and sweet, and those elf ears! Just look at those beauties! He's just perfection through and through! I'm even considering placing an order for a second head to put on the LoongSoul body this here head was intended to go on. I just don't want these to part, it's so decorative and beautiful, there's so little that could convince me of not ordering a second head, in my mind I've already done a million times over xD

In the third, and largest, box was this body, very well packaged in a sea of bubble-wrap. It poses beautifully and I love those thicc thighs! Just to show off a pretty neat move, he can crouch down with little to no effort;

Pretty neat no?!

And because I felt a little artistic I shot a monochrome of that Chi Zhu head on the Moth stand. it's just so, words, don't come easy to me.

Thanks for swinging by!

Dream of Doll Elf Ducan - BO

I finally got my Elf Ducan home! He's really here! Oh man, this has been a dream for the longest time ever, I'm all over the place with feels! He needs some tlc and the strings need a look at, but he's just so perfect! ❤️😍 The faceup is original and in mint condition, yellowing is minimal except for a patch on his chest but that's an easy fix. He came with original outfit and will have to sew a new corsage waistcoat and arm protectors as they're crumbling away being made of fake leather, and 13 years down the road it would never hold up. Hopefully I will have time and energy to work on him in days to come to be able showing him off properly. Man, I've got an Elf Ducan! I've got him!

BO - MysticKids Oscar WS

It's been ages here I last did a BO like this, always just gone right ahead and opened the box and shot some pictures later, don't know what was different this time around. Perhaps because I've really been looking forward to receiving this kiddo? Perhaps because I got almost no sleep last night because I was all excitedly laying thinking of him arriving in the mail today? Perhaps that made me want to shoot up a string of pictures to share, oh, and the fact that there aren't a whole lot of pictures of this sculpt, at least I haven't come across all that many.

So, back to what really matters here, the box, and what is inside of the box!

Obligatory box-within-a-box

And the box-out-of-a-box

Got him with his fullset clothing and shoes, had ordered a wig as well which didn't fit, all thanks to wrong measurements stated by the company, no Bueno. MK boy dolls have a head measuring 17cm not 18,5cm. Oh well. And a furry white burrito owo

And out of said furry white burrito this little handsome guy, all interfitted with a pair of undies, didn't know they did that, but hey, awesome not having to spend time looking for some underwear for him just yet. 

Out of the restraints and sitting, the body is wonderful getting to pose. The knees are a bit tricky and something one need to get used to, there are three grooves hidden in there which will click in place as you bend the knee, it's really quite neat making him quite the champ at holding an array of poses.  

And of course, if you have a cat the first thing they do is jump into that discarded cardboard box xD 

All clothed and the free pair of eyes put in place (not some he's going to keep, neither is the wig) and he's just so damn adorable! The outfit is nice enough, just don't feel like it was entirely worth the $80 pricetag as some of the materials used feels cheap and flimsy to the touch and I don't much like the plastic snaps they used. They're always almost impossible to pry open and close again, might switch them for some metal snaps instead. But the overall design of it I absolutely adore! And well, somehow, those $80 are a small price to pay compared having to have him sit naked, for who knows how long, as I am busy sewing at the moment and wouldn't have time to sew anything for him just yet.

It's really a shame with that wig, but now I've ordered up one from FMD in the same style as Norman, Jeremiah, and Theodore. Going to paint him like them as well, going for that whole porcelain doll look and he will probably also sport those long eyelashes with a few glittering rhinestones in them to top off the look.

Bonus

Because I wanted to see how they'd look sitting together. Norman's got a slightly larger head, also like how much more mature he looks compared to Angus, guessing that might change once I get him painted and in the right wig!
