DUKE (Granado Neptune)

Face-up artist(s):

Limited Neptune by Crocus Lee

Date of acquisition:

Arrival: April 23, 2016

Provenance:

Purchased by me directly from Granado.

Reason for choice:

Too cool to pass up! :D I just loved his faceup, his sculpt. The Evol body is a bit too muscular in back and has nipples and pecs of DOOM, but it's also just beautiful and realistic (in an idealized way). Crocus' faceup is just magic, too: subtle and realistic. This guy looks like he should be running about on his own!

Best Points:

Holds position well, nicely flexible for a big guy. Not as bulky as IP EID, more defined. Lovely tan-- on the reddish side, but not too red.

Worst Points:

Nothing, really.

Eyes:

10mm glass eyes

Wig:

unknown fur or Monique Jojo.

Favourite colours:

Green, gold, black and white.

Fashion style(s):

Casual, surfer, sports-wear, street, cool.

Key fashion accessory:

coconut shell necklace.

Black hoodie and harem pants and white tank from Granado Dolls.
Hawaiin shirts and shorts by aernath's Shirt Shack on etsy.
Board shorts by DEwear on etsy.
Surfboard by HAOLESREGRET on etsy.
