Little Karl

Face-up artist(s):

Eden Workshop

Body blushing artist(s):

Eden Workshop

Date of acquisition:

October 6th, 2010

Reason for choice:

When I first saw him, I thought he would make a hilarious chibi version of Karl, but didn't seriously consider him. Later on, I saw he was the last one on ebay and decided to get him as my second BJD. The rest is history.

Best Points:

He's perfect for... a hilarious chibi version of Karl, and the distributor faceup is a huge part of it. I'm actually glad he was blank, and that they did his faceup, because the default DZ faceup just would not be the same doll.

Worst Points:

His body, especially the knee joints. They're awful, and his legs go wonky all the time because of it.

Chibi German vampire extraordinaire. Thinks he rules the apartment. Has yet to actually beat Asura properly for the title of apartment ruler.

Eyes:

14mm blue glass

Wig:

Ebay, Sunny's World

Favourite colours:

Red

Fashion style(s):

Victorian for the most part

Name story:

His name is from Hellboy, as his character was originally a heavily alternate-universed version of Kroenen, aka Karl Ruprecht Kroenen. I consider Karl an original character now, because he is so far removed from Kroenen. I now have two BJD versions of Karl, but this little guy is the first shelled version and not going anywhere.

Character age:

603 (in 2016)

Character gender:

Male

Offsite roleplay:

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

He's trying his best to be the evil, conniving villain he thinks he's supposed to be... and just ends up looking hilariously cute instead. But he does try! His significant other is the batty elf Little Aster, and he has a son Little Sora (owned by Shai) and an adopted daughter Teeny Shane. Little Karl's arch-rival is Asura, god of the underworld and "gigantic vingy infidel!"
