Anyway he arrived today, sans faceup. He's beautiful, and completely perfect, and I'm looking forward to figuring him out. He's already proving easier than my last SEVERAL dolls because he gave up his name on the first day.
Introducing Zephi (short for Ismael Zephaniah):
It's amazing how much personality he has even without a faceup. I love the Ttory sculpt so much and I'm so pleased with him. He is soft and sweet and made of love. He's claimed the shirt and shoes for keeps but I need to get him some jeans and make him some shorts that are better fitting and more personality appropriate.
Incidentally for my own records, I made the initial order on 5-22-2014, final payment on 6-14-2014 (a Saturday), and he shipped 6-17-2014, and arrived 6-19-2014. He didn't even pause in Customs, just shot straight from JFK to Norfolk to our apartment.
