Introducing Owen Sebastian, brother to Simon Oliver and Lorelei.

HOLY COW. I have NEVER had a doll arrive to me so fast. I got a shipping notice for Crobidoll Tori on I think the 21st, but couldn't track it yet as the package didn't show actually being picked up until the 22nd. I checked the tracking number yesterday and it had a flight number but showed nothing in regards to it reaching US or ANYTHING. No info at all, like it was in limbo in flight.

Osaka sent me a text today that he had arrived. I initially was confused, since she had also been expecting a package but no it was in fact from Crobidoll.

I had asked on their Q&A board on the 19th if they knew when he might ship (knowing that I could still have a week or two to wait) and they responded,

"Hello
this is BJD CROBI :D

Not quite what I was expecting, but this was my first transaction with them, so I don't really know what I was expecting.

So yeah that was a pleasant surprise. I got home and Osaka was out with her son, so I had complete quiet to open him up at my leisure. I took photos. :)

First I got Simon Oliver out to be there to greet his brother.









Some kind of facial tissue? The photos are cute.




Some beautiful postcards of some of their other dolls.


A Christmas Card.


A REALLY cute Crobidoll BJD calender with gorgeous photos on one side, and the month on the other.





In the box that black booklet was a basic owner's manual with a stringing guide, and advice for first time owners of BJD. This particular image made me giggle pretty hard.


My FIRST Certificate of Authenticity under this legal name.


I was surprised, I didn't realize the body wasn't gendered!


Tiny little hands!



And faceup! It's so perfect.


Little standy man, steady as a rock.


And with his brother in his wig.


At this point I realized the clothing wasn't going to work for him long-term. He's a little beanpole and the waistband is comically large.


His intended eyes.



After some wigstop and re-dressed.



One with Lorelei and Simon, both of his half-siblings.


One of Simon and Lorelei.


And just Owen, all put together and perfect.


Now I need to figure out exactly what sort of clothes I need to make for him. The TTYA stuff will do for the moment but it won't work long-term.
