Here's my current girl, Dess, sitting on his box. I was surprised how big it was - Cal was very well protected by a lot of peanuts.
I didn't get any pictures of opening him - I was too excited - so we'll just cut to him sitting on Dess's lap. I was a bit surprised how different resin and vinyl feels. Cal is much heavier, more solid, and ironically enough, quite a bit more plasticky. Unfortunately for Cal, his body will be a fair while coming; it's going to be a BBB Apollo, so I got it through the Jspot preorder. All he can do for now is sit around looking pretty, but he's very good at it. I love how much expression these dolls have even when they're blank.
Here's a profile shot of him. That's something I always look for and often have a bit of trouble finding. Plus, I love his profile.
A much later picture, after I managed to get a wig on him, despite the strenuous protests of both parties. I don't know whether resin is just more slippery, or if Cal's head is more of a 9 than an 8, but I really had to fight to get it on. Thank goodness for velcro! Cal's little glare is so cute! I can tell he's going to be a bit of a handful.
