Headless no more!

Phineas was the second character I created and the third to arrive. But when I'd gotten him back from a face-up I realized that I didn't like him as much as I thought I would. So I sold his old self and started the search afresh. Finally I came across a Narin heartbreak with a custom face-up and realized that this was Phineas! Moody, stubborn but essentially a good person.

Once I had settled on his face, I went over to the Dollfair waiting room and checked out the waiting time. Even though people in there assured me that dolls were bound to arrive soon and that Catrina, the retailer of Narindolls had never let them wait long, I was wary (I got caught up in an 11-months long wait for a Custom House order, no way I was repeating that experience any time soon!). Good thing I decided against ordering at that point of time. When Bimong opened up his own store I was glad and after waiting two months to see how things were going I finally ordered Phineas's head in January.

He arrived today!

Box. He was really well protected in there. Luckily I didn't have to pay taxes for him. ^^


Err, I caught you? Didn't know that was Bimong's motto.


It says Narae on the back but mine will be a boy. (It's really more of a unisex head anyways, I think.)


His face. I had ordered him without having seen the head blank. I rarely ever do that. When a Heartbreak without a face-up arrived on DoA last week I was glad to see it and wasn't disappointed in it. Though I have to say now that I have him here and can see him IRL, his head is tiny!


I got out his body and pair of pants for him.
Head, meet your body!


Yeah, don't ask. ^^ It's a Soulkid body wearing Angelheim hooves. I've started to mod them so they fit a bit better. Not quite done yet. He won't be wearing them a lot really.

At this point I had to ask my brother to help me. Soulkid bodies are strung insanely tight. The Soulkid thread has yet to agree, if Souldoll employs robots or the Hulk to string their dolls. I'd restrung the body once when he got here but now that I had to put the head on, the strings were way to tight for me to pull up the S-hook far enough. My bro is stonger than me though and was kind enough to put Phineas's new head on him. I also switched him back to his human legs and put some pants on him to make him decent.


Random 12mm eyes I had lying around. They are actually a bit big. So is the wig. I tried a blue Leeke wig I had gotten for him but for some reason it made him look gaunt. He looked like he had a bad drug addiction. I didn't even take a picture of it, so much did I hate it. So here is a wig I made for his first head way back. I think with a bigger body he just needs big hair as well. My Unoa hybrid has that same problem and a big fur wig solved it nicely.


The wig is just for now (so he doesn't have to look like a drug addict). I'll make him another one soon. The bangs look weird on him so maybe I'll try a different style. Or maybe he'll get a fur wig instead. And yes, his hair will stay blue. ^^


One last picture of him. After that "Eeeeech" moment with the other wig, I actually went back to liking him pretty quickly (luckily!). The head is there to stay. The resin match is off unfortunately. The Korea normal skin is a pale yellow while the Soulkid NS is more pinkish. Well, heads can be blushed to match. 

Ok, this will be the last box opening in a while. Gosh, this is the first time in how long that I don't have a doll I'm waiting for. Wow. The last time was probably February 2010. All thanks to Custom House. >.>
