Hi Doll Friends,
I got a new doll last week and am just now getting here to tell you about him... I know I keep saying so but I am sorry for my sporadic posting the last month-ish. I can't really account for it other than to say that I feel like I got behind and have been in a tail-spin ever since then...
Nothing to do but try and catch up, eh?
So the Boy Story Doll is a doll I read about a while ago but they were kind of expensive and they kind fo fell off my radar... I also wasnt sure about their 'molded' hair...? A few months ago I saw one somewhere (in a posting on a doll blog? Instagram? I can't remember?). So I looked them up and was sad to see that they'd been given a safety recall and as best as I can tell, they are not in production anymore. I put them on my eBay watch list and kind of forgot about them...
Until... One came up for only $25 starting bid (plus $15 shipping)... So I threw in a minimum bid (cos I really shouldn't be buying dolls... heehee) and was kind of shocked when I won the auction for only $25!
So here he is!
He came in a really nice box! Seriously one of the nicest doll boxes I've ever seen! It opens like a book sort of... I'm sure I'll store doll stuff in it.
Here is the inside 'cover' of the box...
Here is the back of the box. I don't really like politics mixed with my dolls and so I am just going to let it speak for itself. Eh...?
Here he is in the box...
He has jointed knees! It'll be interesting to see how he poses!!
He's got jointed wrists too!
I love that he has snaps on his shirt and not velcro.
I was surprised to find that this fella was a numbered doll of only 3,000? Who knew?!
Here he is with just his tighty-whiteys on... They made me laugh by the way. He has jointed elbows as well!
I like the sculpt of his feet!
Here is his tag.
His leg joints look like most standard 18inch dolls.
Here he is as I envisioned him when I decided I wanted to add him to my collection...
Isn't he great!?
Better run!
XXOO
