In case anyone is unfamiliar, he is a Migidoll Ryu, who I purchased back when Migidoll were just starting to sell full dolls rather than only heads. I was so excited, as I always wanted a Ryu, but never did have the bravery to risk a hybrid myself, so never thought I'd be so lucky!
Unfortunately though, I found myself disappointed.
Ryu himself is gorgeous, just as one would think, but the body...really was not good.
The first time, after a long wait, the body was broken and has parts of his leg cracked off completely.
I contacted Migidoll about this, and they were absolutely lovely and replaced the whole doll with no problem. After that, I was just damned please he could be "played with" and had no risk of more parts falling off, but as time went on and I came to understand things a little more, I realised that the body was still an absolute mess. He needs so much sanding, I barely dared to spend time with him, less he chipped, scratched me or broke.
Now, finally...we have the correct "tools" for the job, and sanding will commence, followed by cleaning, then a damn good restring!
Once again, I am excited at the idea of having the doll I always wanted back -- my nerdy little Jasper!
