The King has arrived!

[Morning Marie]

I was so excited to come home to this today!

(The small package is a Hello Kitty water bottle I order off of ebay months ago... darn free shipping.)

Didn't get to see how well the dolls from Pullip Style are packed for shipping with Alice. (She was sent to my fiance. He had to open the box to make sure she wasn't damaged before gifting her to me.) Mike packs them very safely in their boxes.


Tadaah!


The butterflies build up at this point... time to disassemble!


Here King is, in all his glory. Just kinda plopped his stuff on... "improperly" layered xD

Unfortunately, a pompom on King's cap came unravelled. But if he wears it the opposite way it's modelled in the stock photos, you can't see it. (Kind of necessary anyway because the charm faces that way!)

King's shoes are ADORABLE! I squee'd more than a little over them. And they're PURPLE! *dies* XwX

For some reason one shoe was laced lower than the other... I fixed it.
*OCD*

Another unfortunate thing, my poor Isul's wrists don't work so well. (May not be able to tell from photos.)

His right wrist (on left) does not bend very well. Also the base of his thumb bone prevents full flexibility of the wrist. It can rotate well though.
King's left (on right) does not bend or rotate at all. A bad case of stiff wrist. (Actually, it seems like the hand was jammed inside the arm too far.)
(The color difference is only the balancing on my phone. There is no color variance on the actual doll!)

This one is my fault...

I didn't realize the end of the stand was sharp. It pulled made some snags on the inside of King's coat. (At least it's inside...) The ends are now taped until my dad can pick up some magical goo to plastic coat them. (Alice's stand will get a coating too!)

The first meeting!

King is such a gentle-doll!

And then he woos her with his blinin' chains!

...yes I am a dork... xD

Romantic Rabbit Dal is next, I believe!
