Tinyfairy Gus - Leo

I was really moaning about the Tinyfairy Gentle body, and for my surprise, I was offered one to buy.. I concidered it for a while and then finally bought it. So. Here are some photos.

The classic Bluefairy Tinyfairy box!

He didn't have a S-hook but I had some spare ones for the times like this.

The head box. ^^; There were still plenty left without a body!

Here is Leo. I like this combination of grey wig and turqoise blue eyes. ^^

I was told he has the classic cream and beige box with gold text, I must say I loved those boxes so much, so much space instead of those new ones you need to dig your doll out from. I was also a bit nervous about him... he was a bargain price body which the previous owner had bought from Ebay. There is nothing wrong to be cautious about buying from Ebay, there are so many things that can be wrong, especially when the item is not costing as much as something I'd buy straight from the manufacturer but is said to be in new condition. My friend made some research about it, yes, about if he would be a recast before I made the decicion about buying him.

When he arrived, I compared him to my Kevin who has a Gentle body. It looked the same, with all the insides of the parts and the tiny markings about the left and right parts. I am cautious about these things, and I've tried to be sure about my purchases from forums and all. I always check feedbacks and try to find out more about the seller, I do hope people who buy from me do the same thing, I wouldn't expect anything else. And Bluefairy did make a notice about their dolls being recasted which made me really sad. The head was bought earlier last year straight from Bluefairy when they said they would make Gus and Xiao limited head molds so I really needed to buy him before I lost the chance. Getting a Gentle body was another battle, I'm glad I got this body for him.

There is very little color difference with the Gus head. He has basicly been in his bubblewrap and box the whole time, only looked at for few times. I think this body has had a bit more "air" so it has either changed it's colour a little or is just a teeny bit different shade. It won't be showing when he has a face up on. He is really floppy! I'm going to need to find some new strings for him, but I'm in no hurry. I'm hoping to catch an artists face up slot near future too. I sure am happy about Leo being a full doll now. ^__^
