What I order was the Afra doll with a swapped body of a female normal skin with a type 2 body. The reason I selected this was I wanted a mini me. ^-^ The one that I call Rakura Lynn. For many years exploring on the web I have created this massive Char that emotionally, is more like how I would like to be like. There is a long Story, but for now that will have to wait.
I am sure every BJD owner has went through this phase. "The Wait." I was checking my account to see if she shipped, I was lothing the idea what if she came with pink clothes. What if her hands were freaky akward, What if the boob look like barbie huge? All in all I was checking every day. After week into around the time the doll was suppose to ship I sent and email requesting an ETA. I got a nice response back that her hand was broken and the shipper was waiting for a new one, and since I've been waiting so long that he would throw in a free gift. Alright that is 1 doll, 1 outfit, 1 wig, 1 pair of eyes, 1 set of ears (the doll has magnetic ears), and 1 free item. Alright I can wait a little longer.
The wait was even more crazy when it shipped (1-3-12). I recall staying up one night translating Chinese char. to figure out where it shipped from and how long it would take to ship by water. (17 days) Fun right.
So it was now comming to "I wish my doll was here." well the day I said that, coming home from work I walked up to my door step. "Oh?" -insert little skip hop in the middle of unlocking the door and carrying the box in.
Notice the small nick in the box above the o in doll. I didn't think anything about it. So the final arrival time was 1-11-12 and my Hubby was at CES in Vegas. >.> so I waited till he came home to open it.
(insert box opening video here)
So Hubby came home the next day, it was late in the night but still did a small box opening video. (he was a little impatient.) and in the vid you can barely see it but a little piece of resin drops from the bubble wrap when I pick it up. The back head cap was located around that same O that I pointed out before and the result was a chipped latch piece that prevents the head from sliding. This was a little sad but still what all came with her was awesome. She came wrapped in her bathrobe wrapped with bubble wrap and then the pillow which is nice and silky plain white. She came with yellow eyes (don't really like but still awesome at the fact they are yellow),1 bathrobe white, 1 pair of pointed elf ears, 1 pair of drooping elf ears 1 pair of black striped socks with little lace at the top, knee high, 1 pair of hand warmers gray stripe, 1 gray ruffle skirt, 1 black, stripped, chained, patch, hoodie with cat ears ^-^, 1 fur wig black with silver highlights, 1 burgundy wig which sadly I think is too small for my doll for the fact that it didn't easily pop on and I was getting frustrated with the sliding of the back of the head cause it was broken., 1 picture card of the original Afra elf doll, and finally 1 B&G certificate. O.O that was a lot of stuff I liked very much.
Now Piccys.
