I seriously can not even imagine waiting over a year for a doll. Over a YEAR. Like, 4 months is TORTURE, and you waited over a YEAR. I'm pretty sure I would be like, what... I... did I ORDER THIS? Oh. Eh.
ALthough, I'm a little amused that you had a YEAR to get things together for him and don't have it! :P
Not that I can talk, my new ltf is still faceless and more or less stuck in ill fitting Justin Bieber clothes for the moment.
Dude tell me about it...I rebought my MNF Karsh in 2011 from DDE through FL and the four month wait flew by and I didn't even notice it because I was still going "it's been HOW long Dollshe??". I still can't believe it.
LOL I IS EPIC DOLLFAIL! XD I think it's kind of funny too, I have all these excuses as to why I have nothing for him after a year, but...really, I think I'm just lame :B
The dome is super scary. I'm going to have to poke at it to figure out how it works. Or I could go read where everyone has already done it and posted. Meh. *pokes*
:D Can we have a fashion show next week?? *waves cash* That might be the thing!
oh yeah, he's paper white! I think impressions of what is WS and what is NS are off in Dollshe/Dollstown-land. They seem to think that Freshskin is a pale normal, which it isn't, it's a creamy white. So the Pale is super-white! I might have ordered the fresh if I'd known that, but I haven't disowned Anna yet and she's easily this white, so I'm sure it'll be fine....
Nikita's dome thingy fell off immediately and I keep forgetting to put it back in...
I have poster tack around the head back to help keep his face plate on, those magnets are a JOKE. And I rethreaded his arms with spare iple s hooks, but I've yet to locat his body knot to do his feet. I don't mind his knees and elbows, they're a LOT less hassle than EID joints. Finally yes that ass is HUGE, Nikita sat down and ripped out the pockets in his jeans! (They were pretty badly sewn on but still...)
That's good to know, I was wondering if the dome was really needed or if it was just to cover up the mechanism. I'll probably take it out, it's even interfering with his stem-less eyes :\
So far I think I've been lucky. His face is staying on really well. The only time it fell of is when I was fighting with his wig. Other than that, I tried to jostle it off and it stayed!
And omg have you had trouble with his penis in pants?? It's so big my roommate has issues making him clothes XD

Congrats on finally getting him -- the 1+ yr wait was indeed extreme. I have a Rosen on order and am hoping it won't come to that >_> I do hope you bond with him though! After all that waiting, he better be good for something, lol.
Re: Today was special.vampireangel13March 5 2012, 15:23:03 UTC
lol that's exactly what I'm hoping too! and why I didn't cancel my order when so many others were!
I hope your Rosen doesn't take as long! What skin color is he?? They favor other colors over Pale...they pretty much told me that when I asked how long it would take to get my doll too me way back in November...
Re: Today was special.karlylMarch 5 2012, 20:29:05 UTC
I got him in pale tan -- I'm hoping that they do get to him in a reasonable timeframe ^_-;; But I'm gearing up to wait. I don't have a character for him yet, but I loved the sculpt and he interrupted all my doll buying plans with his insistence that he was next to be bought... Sigh. Oh well.
Have fun with your Saint :) I'm jazzed to see what you do with him!
Yay, he's home!! *grin* Wow. I... had no idea that these dolls had a huge metal dome in their heads. That seems so weird to me... I've just never seen anything like it. I thought S-hooks were standard?? Guess I still have a lot to learn about this hobby. *laugh* Does the dome just cover up an S-hook? How does the dome attach the head to the body? *is so curious*
I'm glad he's home and I really hope he works out for your character... but I can say after seeing the pictures that this is not a doll I'd be wanting to add to my group. I definitely go for the more stylized look. But he's still handsome (in a very objective sense). Congratulations on finally completing your Dollshe order!! ^__^
Ugh, I think the metal dome is a new thing for the new bodies...It's not a standard DS feature. That I know of, I guess I've only seen the inside of the old ones, not any of the newer ones XD It covers up some weird Mechanism I'm going to have to poke at to figure out D: If I could remove it and replace with an shook I so would, but I think it's permanent.
Ha ha I think he is kind of stylized XD He's certainly on the realistic end, but not as much as Pilot (AiL Elijah)...I would put him around Iplehouse I guess. He's kind of cold looking, which gives him a sculpted look, so I think even David is a little more real looking. Who knows. I'm hoping he'll work out. I noticed he has the faintest smile, which I think will be the thing that gets me to keep him...

I may have some SD 17 clothes in my unposted sales stuff that would fit him. O.o. I can't wait to see him. He looks paper white, is he?
