Rey Lewis is here!

I have been busy and (almost) ignoring dolls for the past few weeks, because I’m in the middle of my last internship and I’m meant to graduate by Christmas. This isn’t a proper box opening either, it was so dark that taking pictures was pretty useless.

A week ago I got the word that my Dollshe 28M Classic Rey Lewis had been shipped and after an anxious weekend and a few days extra, I finally got him on Thursday! He was ordered on 29th of July and I got him after exactly three months, on October 29th.

My first impressions were that he was heavy and difficult to pose. His nipples are quite, well, protruding, and same can be said about his private parts. (It actually makes sitting a bit difficult for him.)

After handling him for a few days I’m getting more comfortable with his size and posing him. His face looks a bit different from the promo pictures, but I actually like him even more in person.

He was able to hold up Poro in his arms 🙂 And the detail in his feet and hands is exquisite.

I’ll take more pictures when I have time to give him a faceup.
I also ordered smaller eyes for all my big guys and new wigs from Monique, the 7″-8″ ones were a bit too small for them. I’m hoping 8″-9″ will be a better fit. The shoes I meant for him didn’t fit either >.<

LittleRebel Aleksander arrival

This is not an actual box opening post, because I actually got him two days ago but didn’t have the time to take pictures when I checked him.

I placed the order for him on 21.9. and payed by international bank transfer which was available for European customers. I got the confirmation of my order on 23.9. when my payment was received.
On Monday 28.9. Aleksander was shipped and I received the arrival notice on 7.10. I went to get him that same evening.

He is so pretty! I adore his profile, his nose is one of the best looking I’ve seen on a BJD. I’ve tentatively named him Dey.

At first I was a bit concerned if he’d fit in with Joseph (Simply Divine Thomas) but their heads are about the same size, I’m sure can make it work. 🙂
Honestly if there will be an odd one out it’s probably going to be Dollshe Rey Lewis, he will probably have a much smaller head that the other guys.

I’m really tempted to get him the Popodoll 68cm body, but not in a while. (though there is a discount event going on right now……….)
He doesn’t have a wig or eyes yet, but Eyeco Softglass 12mm is a great size on him. 14mm isn’t bad either, but I like the more realistic look that smaller irises give.
