finnleo Posted July 20, 2017 welp, me birthday present for myself finally arrived, and oddly enough I am in a peculiar situation.. namely getting basicly damaged goods, but not being annoyed by the result, actually prefering the altered state. This time my focus ended up on a second edition Akihabara girls Moe, which was a slight risk price-range, and was listed as used, however without defects... Upon opening the set naturally inspecting her for anything obviously wrong I noted two faint smudges beneath her eyes... then I also noticed her eyes were purple, and not blue.. the smudges I then identified as what was left of her ho-ho's (or the upper cheek blushing). The eye's were still factory glued, so apparently they had changed color due to UV-burn... the paperwork was also sunfaded, which was odd, but it could have been on display with the doll outside the box. Besides some minor transfers on her feet, the set seemed otherwise like a brand new set .. and without yellowing to the doll which I would have figured for sun-damage... guess the vinyl batch was resistant for that with this one. but the natural alterations were all fine in my book, I wasnt perticularly sold on the heavy blush, and I also like purple eyes, although these burned one's are a weird shade as a result. My variable light source was being very variable, since its been raining cats and dogs here lately, and my camera wasnt really in the mood to play ball as a result, but somehow managed to get a few shots of old little miss Szyslak, or Mo between friends in all her "damaged glory": I really do prefer the second editions outfit, not as kid-like as the first one... moe000 moe001 moe002 moe003 moe004 moe005 moe006 I would have liked to take more photos of the default set, but ran out of camera battery, and I didnt really want to try my luck with stains on a basicly new body. But while I was shopping around for Moe, I also picked up her winter school uniform set into the same box, as I had been wanting to get this one, as its also my favorite of the Akihabara girls school uniforms. moe007 moe008 moe009 moe010 moe011 moe012 moe013 moe014 moe015 moe016 moe017 moe018 moe019 moe020 moe021 And then the pierce-de-resistance ... or whatever. How can we not have a S-bust girl not be stuffed into the latest aquired S-bust outfit...? moe022 moe023 moe024 moe025 moe026 moe028 moe029 moe030 moe031 moe032 moe033 moe034 moe035 moe036 moe037 moe027 Thanks for looking... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chikemuri Posted July 20, 2017 She looks beautiful I really like the posing, especially when she's in the white dress. They look very natural~ Congrats on your new girl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finnleo Posted July 22, 2017 thank you very many. it was fun playing doll-wrangler after a short break, and it might have been a bit much for a intro set, but since the groove was there, Mo was fun to work with, so was just natural to go with it. But.. now back to other earthly things.. like tinting my cars windows.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

galatia9 Posted July 23, 2017 I think the purple eyes go better with her default outfit. She is very sweet! And doesn't she love the camera?? Your poses for her are very cute. Her face seems a little bit lighter than her body in your photos. What a great chair!!

sinclair Posted July 23, 2017 Great photo set. I love the school outfit too, might have to find one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finnleo Posted July 23, 2017 Thanks... Hat tip for her name as well I was wondering would people get the reference... now I guess I have an optional bartender if I ever get around to making my Ahnenerbe stage, which these chairs ware also made for... need a shotgun too.. I think the purple eyes go better with her default outfit. She is very sweet! And doesn't she love the camera?? Your poses for her are very cute. Her face seems a little bit lighter than her body in your photos. What a great chair!! mm, it was fun to note how they matched the tartan sections when bleached, then again they dont match the blue of the school uniform anymore, but such are things. Oddly enough her head doesent seem too much lighter than the rest of the body in real life, though that could also be because of my ghetto reflector which isn't exactly a piece of precision equipment. and thanks about the chair, though it still needs the rest of the bar to go with it... Great photo set. I love the school outfit too, might have to find one. Finding the outfit shouldnt be too difficult, when I was shopping for mo on mandarake there seemed to be multiple places to choose from. Though the cheaper one's had issues with the buttons corroding and staining the rest of the outfit, also available in summer guise, but the short sleeves look a bit weird to me.

Meguchi Posted July 24, 2017 All I can say is WOW! Those are some... alluring poses more please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finnleo Posted July 25, 2017 heh, thanks... though it'll probably be a bit before I make another planned set, but there still should be a few spots in the photo section to look through, if not already seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bellatrix Posted July 25, 2017 Moe has such a versatile sculpt, she fits both rockabilly/punk shots, and sweet and alluring outfits. She looks great, I am envious of that outfit! I have always wanted it. ✩ 𝓥𝓲𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓶 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔁 ✩ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
