Miku box Opening!

So my Miku arrived this evening! and even though it's 11:30 at night, I had to crack her out. I figured I'd do a quick box opening for those still in wait

 

Sorry in advance for the poor lighting, as I said, it was late lol

Her box is pretty nice looking. Really sturdy cardboard.

Funny detail, but she is the only doll I have that was fastened in with clips. Not just tied ribbon...

She does indeed come with the tape and the extra hands.

Her skirt is lined in white, but has a huge black zipper in the back >_>

Nice detail though

Her sleeves are the same, white inside but lovely black stitching...

Volks gracing us with a few tries for her decal lol.

Boots, again white with a black seam! (I'm noticing a trend here lol)

Inside of her top, not lined but doesn't look like it will stain. Not sure about the green parts though, have to keep an eye on that

Instead of taping up Miku, I opted to tape places I thought might stain. See how it goes

Had the adjust the decal after this photo. Not sure if I should seal this in of not...

And her wig.... that wig is a beast!! It's super long and can get kind of wild. Not for the faint of heart lol. A little tricky to get on, I couldn't get a wig cap under it sensibly.

 

Anyway, here she is put together! She's a cutie for sure.

I'll do a proper shoot with her when it's not the middle of the night Thanks for looking!

ahhhhhhhh XD so cute!! congratulations!!

Congrats! Thanks so much for sharing the detailed box opening pics (o^^o)

I don't think so, I think any sealer would rub off onto clothing eventually. At least they gave us extras.

Thanks for the pics! Now that I know what to expect, I might annoy Raven just a little bit less when he opens her. What can I say, I love looking at new things and seeing how they are made. I wouldn't have thought about putting the tape on the inside of the boots, but I think it's brilliant! I also appreciate that you showed the inside of the clothes and pointing out the exposed areas that could stain. As for the skirt zipper, even with a basic knowledge of sewing it would be an easy fix (with a flap.) I'll have to think a bit more on the inside boot seam and the inside arm hole, but I'm thinking it may not be too difficult depending on the amount of wiggle room. Either way it should only take hand sewing to fix for those who wouldn't want to use the body stocking.

 

Congrats!

Congrats! I didn't notice the black at the seams, I'll have to be careful too (I did put tape on the skirt zipper though). That teal wig will make a nice casual wig for her, very cute!

Congrats, she is so cute! The short wig looks awesome as well.

Hmmm true! Thank you. it seems pretty fragile, and on those instructions (that I can't read) it looks like they seal it with something. Oh well, I'm not too worried about it

Thanks for the pointers! I always like seeing these type of things in box openings, so I tried to do the same. As for fitting in a flap, as long as it was thin it might work. The boots are pretty tight to the skin, and the arm bands don't have a lot of play either. Boots would be you're challenge I think.

 

 

Thanks everyone!

 

Also worth noting, Miku smelled a little funny. Different from my other dolls, maybe its a new formula? She also feels really solid, her joints are nice and tight and nothing feels wonky about her. Just a couple of things I forgot to mention

Congrats! She's a cutie

 

And thank you for the unboxing, I really love full set unboxings (wonder why less and less people do them nowadays :/ ), and the very detailed ones like yours really make one feel like being just right there in the middle of the action

on those instructions (that I can't read) it looks like they seal it with something.

Oh, that's Mr. マークセッター, which is Mr. Mark Setter, this stuff,

It's just decal solution so it sticks well. Which might be a good idea, actually, but I think you would have wanted to do it while it was still wet.

I've thought about this (or in my case it would be a review after the box opening since Miku is for my husband) but its hard not getting the feeling that no one would care because (there used to be) an avalanche of pics after people got their new girls. Raven and I did videos of the box openings of Kos-Mos & MOMO that I didn't get around to putting on YouTube (before my hard drive was fried in a lightening storm) because it seemed that no one would want to sit through almost 2 hours of video and Raven & I just rambling on. Frankly, I wouldn't blame them.

 

I have a hard time taking a lot of photos because of lower back issues (even though I miss it like crazy!) but would a short video review of Miku be of interest to you? To anyone?

Heh, in my case I feel silly taking pictures of unopened/half opened boxes and uploading that for other people to see. For most of my dolls, I just open the box and enjoy without making any forum post at all! I do enjoy other people's detailed posts, though.

I like inspecting all the things that come with my dolls, so it wasn't a lot extra to snap a few photos lol.
