Body Box Opening III
I've got two headless bodies underneath my bed right now, and have no idea who is getting which.@_@ I bought this MNF body for Helios (DOC Tender Too), but if the proportions don't work out, then I might just give it to Joshua. I really don't want to get his head blushed to match though, and he's a bit of a small-head on the body too. Ah well, we'll see. Doll plans what are they.
This body is my first ever 'adoption'. I bought it off the DoA Marketplace from Pinkmaltese1. She originally planned to sell her Luts MNF El (with both heads with face-up) for a hundred dollars, and I e-mailed her that he's worth a lot more. She looked around for his receipt and found out that she bought him for five hundred. She got a lot of offers for him but after raising his price to 350, no one wanted him anymore. I suggested splitting him up since she really needed the money. She found a buyer for his OE head pretty quickly, and I got the body. The SP head is still for sale here.
Anyway, on to the box opening./o/ This is my first ever USPS box, and my first box opening done at home.>w<
The box. It was light, and I knew the body was packed very well since I couldn't hear anything shift inside. At all. But augh. Shipping from the US is insane. This one took 47.95USD out of my wallet to get home."orz
After hacking away at the tapes and wondering how the fuck do I open the box, I finally pulled on the tab that wasn't a tab. Really. It helped me tear through the carton more easily but I wouldn't call it a tab, OK?
Packing peanuts (and halves of the body)! It's my first time to see them IRL and the box was maybe half-full of them. I might attempt to make beanbag chairs out of them or something.
The two halves of the body carefully bubble-wrapped. Pinkmaltese1 said the body needed restringing, so I was expecting to receive it in more pieces.
But both halves are stringed, just not put together. I think the neckpiece is missing a piece?
And finally, Joshua on the MNF body. Resin match is off IRL and the head just looks...weird. The neck is too long too.
I had to pack up right away 'cause I was in the middle of chat with Jan and my family (who generally disapproves of the expenses of the hobby) could walk in on us at any moment. Joshua's head won't sit well on the body (would sanding the neck work?) so I placed him back on the impl one and hid the body underneath my bed. I'm hoping to complete everyone soon.^_^
