Box Opening- DreamingDoll Airi EDIT 3/26! Face-up pics!!
Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2012 9:51 pmSo, this is my first dealing with DreamingDoll.
I ordered just a few weeks ago (end of Feb/first week of March, I forget the exact date), so the shipping was very fast! (though it makes sense, since Korea is so very close to Japan. I believe it's cheaper to fly to South Korea than it is to Okinawa! >.< )
In case others do not know, the dolls include FREE EMS shipping!
They also responded quickly when I had questions.
Anyway, here she is!
I have not decided on a name for her, though her model is Little Elva- Airi. I might keep the Airi name, as one of my students is also named Airi, and though they do not resemble each other in any way (RL Airi is only 8yrs old haha), I have always liked her name. Though...still debating over Manoa...hmmm suggestions?
I can't wait to do her face-up tonight!
Box arrival this morning-
Alice, my overly curious Scottish Fold, inspecting the box.
Very nice doll box, passing inspection XD
Many extras included! And a bubble-wrap mummy!
L-R=. Korean GHANA chocolate (haha, we also have this brand here in Japan! Nice treat!); clear plastic birth card; beautiful, soft, honey blond long wig; glass eyes; extra doll string; lots of eye putty; extra mini magnets; extra Velcro (I'm assuming for the wig); extra circle ring; high-heeled feet. All FREE!
Bubble mummy
Beautiful face sculpt!!
She poses soooo well! Very good limbs, even the stringing was very well done. Not too tight, not too loose.
Modeling a dress I made for her before she arrived (used Hujoo Dana for a model, almost perfect!)
(btw, DD is MUCH better than Hujoo, though twice the price)
Airi meeting my two other girls- Isobel and Cassie.
(L-R= Allegorica Isobel, Dreaming Doll Airi, Hujoo Cassie, all modeling dressing I made)
EDIT! Adding a couple of pictures I took this morning. I finished her face-up last night after work. I might keep it, I might now. We'll see! Currently working on a dress just for her.
Just a simple outfit, but more fitting for her, I think!
3/26- Just finished a new outfit yesterday. Made from soft, tooled black suede, mostly. Plastic boning in the corset.
The corset goes all around, with a slim, black zipper up the back, so the skirts are detachable.
Still need to make stockings and shoes!
On the whole, I am in LOVE with her! She poses well, she's heavy and sturdy, great joints, came with lots of extras, fast shipping and fast customer service. I am most definitely buying again from them next month!!
