When I ordered Moros’ new shell I thought that I’d end up getting him only for my birthday ’cause I paid with layway, but… unlike most companies, Souldoll apparently doesn’t wait until the layaway is fully complete before they start filling out the orders. Which is rather nice of them. When you’re prepared for a long wait, it’s definitely only positive if your doll ships earlier, haha. xD \u2665<\/p>\n

But yeah… I wrote about my worries earlier this week and unfortunately… what I feared ended up being true: he’s very lilac and not gray at all. x__x I hate this kind of bright lilac colour, and it looks especially awful as a doll’s skintone. x_o;; Sorry to those who love the colour, but… it’s really not what I expected. At all. I’m a little disappointed with the doll because of the skintone. :S But he’s really pretty, so I doubt I can bear to part with him even if his skintone is awful. I just have to Photoshop the hell out of his photos. xD;; And leave him under the window so that he’ll hopefully turn more gray when exposed to the sunlight, lol. Definitely not coating him with MSC UV-cut. :’D<\/p>\n

Luckily the postman carried the package to the door this morning… I was so nervous thinking what if they don’t try bringing it at all (’cause sometimes they’re lazy assholes) ’cause my knee’s been hurting again lately and the package was HUGE and weighed almost 5kg. My knee wouldn’t have been able to handle carrying it back from the PO, I’m sure. :S But luckily the same friendly postman who brought Kotori yesterday came again today. I only had to drag the package up to my apartment, although thankfully we have an elevator. xD<\/p>\n

But yeah, I got lots of stuff with him so I have a lot of photos to post:<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s arrival was a little smaller compared to today’s. :’D<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I have tons of bubblewrap again now thanks to these new arrivals, lol~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I love Souldoll’s pretty boxes~ They sent him in an SD-sized box because…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
… under the pillow and bubblewrap…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
… was tons of stuff. :’D I had to climb on a stool so that I managed to get everything in the same frame, lol.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Everything was really carefully packaged! Took me a while to unwrap all of those, lol. xD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Kyron and all the other stuff unwrapped. :3 I had to get rid of my carpet ’cause he camouflaged into it. >_>;;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Lmao lilac boots… don’t look badass at all. :’D I’ve been spoiled by Withdoll, I was expecting black resin but ofc they’re not black… lots of painting to do. -__- The heel comes off (photo<\/a>) and the s-hook is attached there… so you can use the same lenght elastic as you would for the human legs. That’s a plus ’cause I’d be too lazy to change the elastic every time, lol.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Boots, skull mask and scythe. Damn that thing is HUGE. x_o Also it wants to fall apart, there should be a magnet on where the handle joins together as well. :S There’s a big magnet on that skull side of the staff part.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The wings are even bigger. xD Couldn’t get them fully in one photo even while standing on the stool, lmao. I ADORE the wings, though, they’re the best part! So glad I bought them~ ;^; \u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
His eyes and ears are pretty unsymmetrical… his left eye is smaller than the right one and it’s also a bit lower… and his right ear is higher than his left. Frustrating, because I can’t make him wear the WD Juwel head gear because of the unsymmetrical ears. :S<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
A close up of his face… stupid angle, but his head is an idiot. He has shitty string so he either looks up or presses his chin against his neck. -__-;; I hate Souldoll’s default stringing…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The wig was a huge disappointment. :\/ Apparently they had the same wig for Devonia and Kyron, but it was styled differently for Kyron’s photos so it looked much better than it actually is. Mehh. The fiber is really annoying, too, flyaways everywhere. :S Definitely not worth $30, the quality is the same as on some Chinese $10 wigs that I’ve bought from eBay…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Tried on some of Juwel!Moros’ old stuff… the uniform is a bit small and tight for him but I don’t care… I don’t want to give it up. xD God I love those wings! \u2665 So huge and pretty and blue~ And fully poseable!! *___* \u2665 \u2665 \u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And here’s a teaser photo that I put a little more effort into… Photoshop definitely helps with the lilac. xD;; Thankfully he’s blue themed so excessive Photoshopping suits him:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’m a bit nervous about painting him because his previous incarnation’s face up was done by my talented friend, jesmo. And it was ridiculously pretty. \u2665 My face ups are so crappy in comparison, lol… but well, especially after I had to snatch the Usagi-san Miu, I don’t really have any extra money to commission a face up for him. So I’ll try to paint him myself… if ever we have some lovely days with no rain. It’s way too humid, I don’t even dare to try painting him with this weather. :S<\/p>\n

He’s also gonna need some mods… because the NL body has those stupid joints, they don’t have normal ankles either. Sooo I’m gonna have to butcher his human legs in order to use the Withdoll leg armours on him. ’cause they’re lovely and I’m not giving them up. \u2665 He wouldn’t be able to wear his uniform due to the long pants with the Souldoll boots, so… that’s one reason why I need the Withdoll leg armour. I have no clue what to do about the headgear, though… the horns look rather stupid without it and I really loved the double horned look anyway… but those damned unsymmetrical ears. :S I’ll have to see if I figure out some alternative way to get the headgear to stay on…<\/p>\n

And the wings have that super heavy resin part at the back and then some lameass belt-harness thing to keep them on the doll… well, the resin part and the wings are waaaay too heavy for the harness. :\/ So the wings droop. A lot. So I probably have to buy some huge ass magnets and drill them onto the resin part of the wings and then put magnets inside his torso or something. ’cause as it is, the harness is pretty useless… I don’t understand why they didn’t use magnets more for the option parts. Like, for the skull mask I couldn’t figure out any other way to wear it than to secure it on his ears, I guess that’s the point, too… but somehow it’s a real pain to put on ’cause it gets tangled on his ears and it’ll probably scratch his face up too mrgh… I much prefer Withdoll’s use of magnets.<\/p>\n

And the wings are really lovely, although I didn’t even twist them around much and there was already wire poking out. :\/ I managed to get it back inside so that it doesn’t show, but occasionally it peeks out when I pose the wings. So that sucks a bit too… otherwise I really love the wings ’cause you can pose them however you want, they’re so flexible. *___* \u2665 And those blue feathers are gorgeous! I wouldn’t have bought the wings otherwise, but because they had blue feathers, I had to… xD Blue is Moros’ colour, after all~ \u2665<\/p>\n

Oh right, I also requested these eyes<\/a> because Kyron’s default eyes were red\/purple, but Moros should have pale blue eyes. Thankfully they remembered my request and I got them. :3 They’re really lovely, half of them is darker blue and half light blue, but I can position them so that only the pale blue shows~ They’re very close to the Soom Rosette eyes that he had as Juwel. I’m very pleased about that! \u2665<\/p>\n

But despite everything I still like him as a whole, so I doubt I’ll sell him nor any of his stuff…… except for the gift outfit that I got. It doesn’t suit Hisoka and definitely not Moros. ^^;;; I wished they’d sent some of those casual cargo pants instead, I could use some pants for Hisoka. *sigh* Oh well…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
