Date of acquisition:

May 2014

Provenance:

DoA Marketplace (secondhand from Abbychan)

Reason for choice:

I love the Shiwoo face, and this listing kept showing up when I searched the MP with a declining price, so I finally went for him.

Best Points:

Very sturdy resin, decent posing for an older single-jointed body

Worst Points:

Some of the mods he arrived with were not very skillfully done and have required some extra work to conceal them; old-style head connection is really difficult to work with

Ed was a bit of a rescue job; when he arrived, his body was very unevenly yellowed and his elastic had no stretch left to it. While his head was being restored, I worked on restoring his body, smoothing out the torso mods, evening out his coloring as much as possible, and restringing him. His original hands could not be saved, but the rest of his body restored quite nicely, and some strategic blushing is concealing the rest of the yellowing that couldn't be removed.

Toward the end of the canon storyline of Fullmetal Alchemist, Ed was approached by a mysterious being offering him the chance to have one wish granted, in exchange for traveling to another world, sacrificing his memories, and participating in "games" to have them returned and earn the right to his wish. During his time in the caves on that world, he met a number of people from other worlds, made several friends and enemies, gained a new family member, and fell in love. His sister Razzy and lover Jace accompanied him back to his own world on their escape from the one where they'd met, creating new situations for all to deal with in Resembool.
