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!

Of Arrivals and Face-ups

Bo finally arrived home a couple days ago and is he ever the cute wee one!
I had him borrow a yukata from one of the other kids here and, though I had ordered a pair of eyes for him, the ones I found in me Jar of Eyes is a definite keep for him. I don't really have a clue from where they are from but I'm almost 100% certain they came along with one of the guys here at some point or other.
Sadly the weather is all gone to shits with plenty of rain and cold and zero sun. I would really have prefered if the weather hadn't turned for the worse as I'd have loved being able to start painting him.
Anyway, here's the kiddo with his adorable pouty lips and button nose.

I'm going to be buying a few pairs of extra hands for him as I'd like some more natural hand poses besides his eternal peace signing and pointy finger on the other hand.

Now I'm just wanting for AC to send Jack on his way. The only thing being a hindrance for that is EndlessBJD not having finished up on my order of a dress, that even after over 3 months. It's getting a bit irritating as I had actually thought it'd be finished in time for when Jack would be sent on his way up here. It's why I ordered it, now I'm regretting it a little. Just hope they'll finish up on it soon as Jack is simply waiting for that silly dress to be completed. Would be nice if they had a notice board or a banner saying they were behind schedule, very busy because of a lot of orders, I'd understand that, but they haven't any of that. It's not that I'm made purely of impatience, but after 3 months one would expect an order to be finished, or am I wrong in thinking that?

Also recently got a few faces painted and I'm nearly finished too. The weather was amazing last Friday, blue skies and the sun high in the sky. I got some paint in those cheeks of Harry Potter and Minoru.

Upon painting Harry I noticed his one nostril being larger on the one side compared to the other. Hadn't noticed this back when he was blank. For a split second it bothered me a little but then I thought, to heck with that, he's perfect anyway! And then later that night I came up with a brilliant explanation as to for why his nose looks like that. He works as an Auror, accidents happen, they're bound to, some shit went down and he hurt his nose and before Mediwizards could get to him Muggles had brought him to a hospital and stitched him up. Shit happens, no?

Also, just look at those Scarlet Johansson lips, they really look something fierce like hers if you ask me and I can't unsee it. Perhaps it'll change when I add some more detail to them but I doubt it.

It's a shame one can't really see the blooper on his chin from where sealant did something weird, instead of thinking I had to remove it all again I instead embraced it and thought, hey melasma! I really want him to have a very soft expression  and love how it's turning out so far.

Also tried my hand at a third one, but, eh, it didn't really, uhh, well, see for yourselves:

I couldn't figure out at all what I wanted for him so I just went berserk and did whatever, and I don't even know. This was me not even being serious and part of me had hoped it would spark something in me but nope.

After wiping his face clean from that disaster up there I got the idea to do something inspired a little of BlueOxyde's boys. I sadly haven't had the chance to do anything much because the good weather didn't stick around after Friday. At least now I have an idea of how to paint him.

Harry came home

Got quite an unexpected package today in the mail, not that I'm complaining, Our postal service treats packages worse and worse it seems, quite tattered and beaten up this box.

 At least everything was as should be inside of the box though it could have been battered near flat and that sheet of bubble-wrap wouldn't have been much of any protection

Found it a bit odd the head didn't come in some sort of protective box, seeing how little the postal service cares for treating packages lately.

And here he is in all his naked glory, he looks exactly like on DODs official pictures even without face-up. Usually there's something not quite as in their pictures so got positively surprised.
Seeing this handsome face almost makes me want to bring the other two Valentine heads home, not because I have any plans but all because I can xD

Having swapped the head putting new Harry onto the body 

instead, taking both the eyes, wig and glasses, here he is and

 all that's missing's the face-up. 

And just because, a picture of him without the glasses, perhaps I should 

see if I could find a pair with smaller but still round frames or simply an 

entirely different type. I'll figure it out.

4) What/who was the first BJD you ever owned? Do you still own them? (Who is your planned first?) 

DreamofDoll DOT Homme Ducan and he’s still around ever as pretty as he were soon 7 years ago when he first stepped into my life.

Back when he arrived in the spring of 2008 (grainy as heck as the only camera I had was my mobile and at that time 3,2Mp was the future aka didn’t really prioritize getting a new mobile):
