A Wishful Nozomi

Happy New Year!

Well, the new solar year has been around for a while, but this weekend IS the lunar new year. So. Hope you had a happy new, NEW year!

Here is the result of my procrastination. I'm finally getting around to uploading the box opening of Nozomi, my much anticipated tiny version of Tsukasa Konoe. I wasn't so neglectful as to leave him in his box for five months. I actually took these photos right after I returned from Taiwan four months ago. So really, Nozomi was only stewing in his box for about a month before I got to him!

Rui tells me she has no idea how Rowan and Aysel are still around when I'm such a horrible babysitter. And that she feels badly for the new kid.

Without further ado, I present my Volks Yo-SD (tiny extraordinaire) Tsukasa Konoe, and Thackery's newest nemesis, Nozomi.

 

A month long in a box, within a box is bound to drive anybody stir-crazy. I'm almost nervous.

Konoe, Tsukasa. 

...@$*&$#*&K(#*$!!!

You have no idea how much I wanted to throw the lid off an go straight for the gold, but peace. Tranquility. I'm mature. 

I'm a mature adult who's afraid of dolls, but also spends money on dolls I'm not afraid of. 

...Sometimes I suspect my brain must be strangely wired.

Wish I could've gotten BOTH Tsukasa and Shiro, but... no money. 

*pokes finger through threadbare wallet* 

This plastic headgear.

And his face! He's here! This FACE.

That beautiful hand-painted, air-brushed face-up.

To be honest, his uniform really wasn't up to par with what I know of Volks' standards. A little let down by the quality, but still looks good on.

Those blazer cuffs are way too small... Luckily, Volks new BJD bodies have been updated for a while with easily removable hands. Otherwise, Rowan would have to share what few clothes he has with this kid.

Big Tsukasa, meet Lil Tsukasa.

Mi casa es su casa. 

 Yeah, right.

Don't worry, little man. Thack gets better with age. 

Like cheese. Thack mellows and yellows with age.

I seriously need to take more photos of the three stooges together. More like the two stooges though, since Aysel often gets left out when chilling with the boys. 

But she'll soon have her own friend to play with. Stay tuned, and thanks for looking! (Hint: if her brother Rowan gets to have a tiny-size cat, Komame...)

Sincerely,

Nobody
