There is doll!
Sep. 17th, 2008 10:12 pmSo, question for those who have successfully managed to sand doll seams-- what grit sandpaper do you use? I tried a couple things on Waif when I first got him, and wasn't happy with the results and never figured out how to do it properly. But there are a couple very in-need-of-sanding bits on Beryl. (silly Soom, leaving little pink casting lines on their dolls...)
They have also changed their packaging, and instead of friendly (if slightly funny-smelling) gray foam, she came stuffed into impenetrable bubble-pack. I think I could have thrown this thing across the room and not damaged her, which is good, but it took me a moment to figure out that undoing the tape across the bottom was how to get in:

...there was also a picture of "her little sheepy foot is as BIG AS HER HEAD!" but the camera took it with flash and then died again, so I'll need to take another one later. And I am close to falling asleep typing, and there are seams that need sanding, so I think she will stay human for tonight, and I will do things with horns and hooves and wigs and saying nice things about
the_impassive on DOA tomorrow.
Also, I will have to do comparison shots of her vs Lady before disassembling her, because I now have two sizes/colors of EXACTLY THE SAME DOLL. Proportions, hand positions, everything. It's rather weird.
