Planetdoll Mini Riz coming to me

[modernwizard]

I bought a Planetdoll Mini Riz off of DOAer tinybear. She will supply Absinthe's body, with a few minor complications.

• First, the body is in normal skin [which has a peach undertone], and Absinthe is bleached white, so I'll have to paint the neck or something.
• Second, the body's neck is thicker than Absinthe's neck hole, so I'll have to aggressively sand down the neck.
• Third, the body has tiny, conical, disturbing breasts, which need to go the hell away. More sanding. I do not understand the presence of breasts on this doll. All other cues of proportion, body shape and fat placement suggest that Mini Riz represents a child or young teenager who has not yet pubesced. Why does she have breasts?!

Anyway, I got my Riz for $200, which includes dolly, eyes, wig, faceup, dress and insured shipping with tracking. That's an unbeatable price. Ideally, I would have liked a white one to match Absinthe's head, but I couldn't resist the tinybear fur wig, which will be repurposed for Little Will. This Riz also comes with a charming, lightly done set of freckles that I really like. She also comes with this white shift that tinybear made, which will be very helpful as an interim outfit [and old-fashioned nightgown!] as I attempt to find out what clothes will fit Absinthe's new body.

I'm eagerly looking forward to the Mini Riz body for Absinthe. From what I can tell, it will pose expressively, even without wiring. [Look -- she's touching her face!] I really hope so. As a bonus, the body comes with an adorable headsculpt full of character. The head is currently unassigned, but I am sure I can make good use of it.....
