Extremely well packed! 3 boxes, and padding between the layers! (No surprise he survived his ordeal by post)

Image
A standard Simply Divine Head Box

Image
Alec! And butterflies!

Image
Free gift! That is one of the coolest freebies I've ever gotten

Image
That nose!

Image
That sculpt! The nose! The cheekbones! The crows feet!

Image
The cheekbones!

Image
Love the way the sculptor made his face slightly asymmetric - as it is in real life!


...And my poor attempt at a face-up - was going for Nicholas Rush here (hence the v.sparse stubble; :? he doesn't look right without the 3 day beard!) I may redo this sooner rather than later but:
Image
He's got 12mm eyes in here - but I think I might get him 11mm eyecos or a 10mm pair

Image
The traditional camera glower

Image
Shocking sideburns... They look a bit better in real life, the camera focus here really hasn't helped

Image
Image
Tried to darken his eye area to make him look a bit worn out - but not to the extent of full-on bruised... Not sure it worked!

Image
Really adore all of the details in the sculpt - the lines around his nose, all of it. I just wish I was better able to do him justice, a lot of the subtle detail around his nose is really difficult to try to bring out!

Image

Still hunting for a wig for him at the moment, turns out Dr Rush's haircut isn't as common in bjd wigs as I'd thought...

I'm thinking a 65cm body for him - since his character isn't very tall so he needs to be shorter than the majority of my male dolls. I'm quite liking the skinny Akagidoll 66cm at the moment, but suggestions are welcome!

His blank face looks reminds me of Captain Picard

Congrats! Whoa, they did get his facial features just right in that sculpt. I saw Rush even when he was still blank!!

Thanks! Yeah - I adore Simply Divine, all of their sculpts really do capture the person/character they're representing perfectly, that and the company seems to share my taste in characters!

Now I just need to work out a decent way to represent stubble... well and find him a body!
