Psych, he's not Kaelin. My F-40 arrived this afternoon. I did get the Omukae kimono but I didn't want him in something fancy right now, and I'd rather take nice pics of it. Ordered: February 14th.
Arrived: March 25th (can't do math what day he was ready in Japan...)
It's a little odd since I had gotten used to the Pixydoll Sevy as the character, I think (even though I decided he wasn't right). The kite purple eyes are interesting - it was slightly sunny when I took them out and they looked a like a darker Neosium (with more red), but in the pics and cloudy light they really look gray. May try him in another color too . . . sorry for lazy pics, I didn't do anything to them either. It was hard to get the energy to take any but I really wanted to.

Head: SD F-40
Skin color: white
Wig: W-94, 60 (mid-length shaggy, FCS exclusive, silver)
Eye: GE-01, 18/9mm (鳶紫, kite purple . . . um, it's "tobi murasaki"?)
Eyelash: EL-03 (brown; I wanted it a bit dramatic)
Hand: H-04 ("gun trigger" hah)
Leg: L-02 (long)
Foot: F-02 (tabi)
For the makeup I used the model doll photos because I didn't come in thinking I was ordering anything. The model on display at the table was actually the one in the book, so there is a small pic of him on the F-40 page - I asked for his makeup, roughly, but suitable for BW (since he's tan), and a little gentler. I also asked for the lip color to be more pink like another book photo. That one's not online, which is too bad, quite pretty - it was a girl paintjob, and I believe it was the same female F-40 who was modeling outfits in one of the Dolpa books. I've still had minor hesitation about skin color - I definitely decided against normal skin. But I went with white because a) looked nice with the wig; b) kept thinking of Dr. Seiji's boy with the tan; c) the manager told me she liked BW when I couldn't decide XD; So it was a little arbitrary . . . but tan still makes me a bit paranoid and I guess Milo will be pleased to have some white-skin company.
Actually the manager asked me if Milo (MSD F-08) and Naoya (Sch. A) were brothers; "tomodachi" was a much simpler answer than "actually Milo has a crush on Nao's half brother" . . . x.x So then she asked me about the F-40, for whom I resorted to describing him as the villain; she mocked punching him in the head (with sound effect lol). XD;
I am so glad that he came before my surgery. I got to see him, and I know he'll be here afterward.Head: SD F-40
