Lacus Clyne (MegaHouse 1/6~27cm. A.F.C. PLUS Doll series)

thanks. i'm not much of a fan of GUNDAM SEED, but i always did like Lacus a lot.

i actually prefer her looks from the first SEED series, and MegaHouse indeed did make at least two dolls
depicting her from that timeline, but this later SEED DESTINY version seems the only one currently readily available,
and available at a price i can realistically consider. the cheapest available to me was a used example from a Japanese seller
for around $80shipped, that is, until a more local seller listed this one on the BAY, NISB, for just under $60shipped. i was the sole bidder.

unfortunately, while mint in every way, she was ill-stored in a musty environment, and came out of her box
smelling like the 50-year old medical, aeronautical and general science books my mother used to have before out last move.

between her being now perpetually freed from her packaging, and regular perfume applications, i hope to eventually banish the offending malodorousness for good.

one last item; it strikes me how much this doll resembles "Megurine Luka" of Hatsune Miku's VOCALOID family;
