Jinlong

Face-up artist(s):

Mainframe110 (me)

Date of acquisition:

December 22nd, 2010

Provenance:

Bought directly from Dollmore.

Reason for choice:

I was new to the hobby and was just browsing doll sites. As soon as I saw his darling face I knew I had to have him!

Best Points:

I love how chubby he is, I like more childish MSDs, and of course, his adorable face sculpt!

Worst Points:

The single jointed knees are so knobby and hardly even fit together. Even with sueding and wiring, he can hardly stand by himself.

Eyes:

Glip (14mm)

Wig:

7-8 faux fur, from Akasarushi on Etsy

Favourite colours:

All his favorite toys are purple, but all of his clothes are red, blue, white, and black.

Fashion style(s):

Very young kid type stuff. Simple patterns, bold colors, sneakers, and a tiny little backpack that usually has a bunch of toys stuffed into it.

Key fashion accessory:

Bandaid on nose and on his knees

It took me 5 years but I finally have the perfect outfit for him. You wouldn't think it, but there just isn't a ton of little boy clothes for MSDs out there. Still on the lookout for a pair of MSD sized crocs.

Name story:

My grandfather was fluent in Chinese and used to encourage me to learn, and gave me some flash cards. I wanted my boy to have a very elegant and traditional-ish sounding name so I picked a word from one of the flashcards: Jinlong, meaning "golden dragon".

Though most people usually call him "Jinny" for short.

Character age:

9-ish

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

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

Fun loving kid, always happy. Has way too many toys and loves to play pretend. He's oblivious to the world around him. His character is very much inspired by Yotsuba from the manga of the same name.
