Obligatory box picture!!!



Heehee... and the mummy picture!!



He's so pretty! I love the ears. They're so cute!!!



A shot of his face-up. The sequins are sorta cool. At first I thought leprosy, but now I'm thinking cool snake scale thingies.



Trying out yellow versus red eyes. I like them both so much!!!! It's hard to decide.


I really like this body. I liked it SO much... well... THIS happened.



POOF! At first thought, it looks like Micah was raptured, but in fact...



"Guys, this isn't funny. I'm not laughing. Not even a little bit."



"Whoa!" Micah is enjoying a whole new body!!!! Yes yes yes... Thanks to Fyrsiel's lovely idea, Micah has a new body!!!!! Thanks again Emory, you're so awesome!!!!

The Doll Leaves Xavor is absolutely amazing, and his head is wonderfully fitted to Micah's old body, which will become Vargas instead of Mordant. I'm getting an RS Feng for him. Maybe in a funky fun color. Micah's clothes fit him perfectly, and his body has a lot more features!!! I'll take NEW pictures of the body to show you guys the awesome features of the Doll Leaves sculpt.

So. let's check out Micah's new Doll Leaves body!

"Aww, this is just embarrassing. I don't want to strut in my undies."

(Dorrie in the background belongs to my friend Solitary Agent, who came over for some box opening and dolly fun.)





*Micah blushed.* "Guys, come on! Go gawk at Ivan. He lives for moments like that."





Both the knees and elbows show great range of motion, they're really, high quality! The tension of the doll was perfect, too.



I love the thigh part. It has little grooves that lock into place. It's really nice when positioning the legs to sit sideways. There's no sliding out of position now.



"I can cross my legs. Woo!"



Micah with a silver wig. I know, I have too much fun wig-swapping.



Vargas with Micah's wig. As always, I think black hair is just awesome and looks good on every doll. You like his red eyes? I decided to go with the red.



Testing out a possible Vargas wig. I bought this thing a year ago or more, and finally have the doll it should go with. The silicon wig cap keeps it nice n' tight even though it isn't really fitted to the head. I love these wig caps!!



I think his blond eyebrows and lower lashes go well with the matching wig, and the red in the eyes pops more. I thought red beads would be fun too, to give him a ... huh. I just noticed a sequin popped off. LOL!!! Funny. I'll have to go look for it. Tribal look. To finish the sentence. Yes.



Hmm.... is Vargas a good guy or a bad guy... and what will Ivan think when they meet?



The 1/3rd gang minus Corlis, who STILL doesn't have armor. I think Ivan looks annoyed.

[solitary agent]

LOL. Andrew naked in the background, just chillin'.

I think Vargas' wig is looking awesome.

Ivan looks like he should be holding a cigarette in that hand. I forgot to tell you I ordered a couple of cigs from Dollmore. And a pipe! Andrew has bad habits. (On top of that whole voyeuristic sadist thing.)

Ryan's looking at Ivan like "...dude. Chill."

A nice group of big boys you've got going there! Cant' say as I'm liking those sequine things. Is he really supposed to have them or are they some sort of packing thing???

[kurosu.chan]

Ohhhh, your sequins gave me an ideeeaaaa!!! Bad sequins, bad! XD (It's only bad because...well...I don't have a doll to do it on! Yet... ) I really like that wig on him, I've always been a fan of the more tribal looks. If I could do it to my own hair, I would.

Congrats on getting him.I'm with Greyhaunt in thinking those sequine were some sort of packing things.

[solitary agent]

They definitely aren't. They're glued on! And I can't think of any logical purpose sequins would serve in packing, haha. They ARE weird...you can see them on Doll Leaves' promo pics too:

[quidam]

Congrats! He's quite interesting looking. I wonder what made them decide to put sequins on his face to begin with? It's kinda of random.
The wig you gave him is really neat looking! Do you think he'll keep it?

[Trethowan]

Yea, the sequins ARE odd. They pop off easily enough, but there's a bit of glue residue. So, if I take 'em off, I end up taking the whole face, and I actually really like his face-up. Soo.... what to do? I'll figure something out.

I've settled on the wig, I really like it. I was originally thinking about doing dreads, but I was afraid the seams and wig-lines would show too much and it would look bad. I did beads and feathers instead.

[solitary agent]

If you take the sequins off, you could probably gently sand the glue spots off with something like those little sanding sticks I have.
