As mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I ordered a custom doll from Makie.me, and today he arrived!He's an interesting toy (I'm not sure whether to call him a doll or an action figure - he seems to be right on the dividing line): very light, very well jointed, and a little strange about the face. He's also fairly sturdy; the packaging was quite minimal, and he still arrived in perfect condition.
The accessories are a bit hit-or-miss. The eyes (which are easily changed out) are lovely, but the clothes are very basic and not well-fitted. The hook, is the same quality as the body, but is white rather than matched to the body (which it was in the creator). The wig is a standard quality fur, but ends at such a high point on the head that it makes the doll look as though he's experiencing male pattern baldness (it was also adhered to the headcap, although it wasn't too difficult to remove).
The rabbit (a freebie during the sale period), which is unjointed, has lovely light-reflecting red inset eyes and is quite cute for such a simple figure.

I'll have to share more of him once I've changed his hair and paint!
