Ike

Face-up artist(s):

Iplehouse

Date of acquisition:

February 2010

Provenance:

directly ordered from Iplehouse

Reason for choice:

the body!! The EID was the very first male heavy bulky muscular body that time!

Best Points:

Face sculpt

Worst Points:

mobility - he can't sit without help (like all Iplehouse EIDs), he is sooo heavy, headcap magnets are too week (like all my Iplehouse dolls)

After I had my favorite Fire Emblem character Soren, I started dreaming of getting Ike for him - which was difficult that early time back in 2009. All male dolls were slim, showing just slightly muscles and didn't really have anything in common with a strong fighter character. Then Iplehouse announced their new line, the EID. The face also looked great for the character and the body was a dream (except the Iplehouse quality of thin resin, almost no good posing).
He was also released with a free sleeping head for this order period.

Also: at that time there were no outfits available which could fit a sword fighter (and the EID size!!), so I started to sew myself (I had to google how to sew, since I couldn't even fix a loose button or holes yet^^;;

Eyes:

Soom silicone (Midnight)

Wig:

blue/black (For my Doll, Dani Cut)

Offsite roleplay:

This doll's character is not available for offsite roleplay.

Ike is based on a character of the game series "Fire Emblem". He is the leader of the Greil Mercenaries and powerful whenever he wields his sword.

Ike is usually nice and brave. He will do everything to protect his friends and family.

Ike is the son of Commander Greil, leader of the Greils Mercenaries, and takes leadership when his father is killed by the Black Knight. At the beginning the other members look down on him as a rookie, but soon he can prove that he is a true leader who uses all his skills to help Crimea against all aggressors.

For most of the time he is under the service of Crimea's Princess Elincia but does not want anything more than regular mercenary payment and a chance to avenge his father's death. After the wars are won, he leaves his home continent Tellius, together with his closest friend and tactican, Soren*. (*A-support at the game *g)
