Yay!

(With apologies to the doll phobics on my flist, I hope you can forgive this special occasion!)

My Volks F16, Luc, arrived today, and even though he was bought 2ndhand, I did an unpacking photo-shoot. By the time this was done, and he looked presentable, the light had vanished so I don't have any actual nice pix. Yet.

This was the best I could do, his hair is an absolute mess:







The box just arrived, with Élie sitting on top of it. Earlier a package of clothes had arrived and he is wearing some of them, that's why he's pantless. Really, honestly >.>



The opening of the outer box. I was shaking with excitement so this pic is all blurry.



Tahdaa! The silver Volks' box, all shiny



Inside the box is the usual paperwork, pillows, and a ninja outfit I bought from the same seller.



His toes! OMG!



And here he is, all covered in bubblewrap and foam sheet, with a bottle of hair product on his face <3



Out of the box and on my knee for a close inspection. You can see how the light affects the colour of the resin.



I am usually very neat, but now I absolutely needed all my doll stuff all over the floor.

Omake:



Élie: LOL, you have no hair!
Luc: You are STILL not wearing any pants, dude.

Ahahaha! I see they're off to a great start. :D

Anyway, I like how he looks in the top picture, messy hair and all -- just what you'd expect from someone who just made a long trip. "I'm wiped out, man. I just wanna chill here while you do all my unpacking."

I am happy to be able to say we now have the full contingent of hair and pants :)

Yeah, I think they will grow to like each other, but there will definitely be some struggle about who gets to play what role XD

EEE! Congrats!

Toys for grown ups! ;p

[sky-dark.livejournal.com]

I know that well XD

Aww he's beautiful *jealousy*. Congrats on acquisition!

You know, I'm buying into the BJD culture to the point where this really does not feel like I bought something? Not that I think of him as a person, but it's not quite a possession either. There is a certain aspect of idol-ness, which explains the offerings in the form of clothes, shoes, eyes, and hair. Which are defintitely possessions XD

As a mild-doll-phobic I have to say I'm still struck by the beauty of the dolls. If I could, I'd be cooing at them (as long as it was daylight) I only have problems with dolls + the dark :D If my son ever decides he wants an action man (or a barbie of whatever) I'm going to have to keep it loced away somewhere at night. :D

I can't imagine being doll phobic ( that would be a problem in my house :)), but I always thought it was the eyes that made bjds "freaky". But action man and barbie have painted eyes, so that's not it.

Thanks for putting up with the huge doll pic on your flist though :)

[beautiful-fic.livejournal.com]

No. it's not the eyes. It's the ridiculous conviction that they're jealous of living things and will kill me in my sleep. I never even saw chucy or anything like that, but I've been deeply suspicious of dolls since I was a kid. XD

Yours are beautiful, though.

Ah, I see, one of those :) Thanks, I'm really happy with my guys and I want to make a million photos <3

[beautiful-fic.livejournal.com]

Oh, I would love to see more photos <3 Do post them if/when you take them, won't you?
