Date of acquisition:

April 14, 2023

Provenance:

Purchased directly through Dollmore

Reason for choice:

I've had this body before and loved it! I thought the head sculpt, especially the eyes, was good for the character.

Best Points:

Poses well, good quality resin and Dollmore has the best customer service I've ever dealt with, and that includes waiting through CNY and their website change. The optional hands were cast and came out a different color, and Dollmore contacted me to let me know shipping would be delayed so they could remake the hands to match him! Wait time was almost three months to the day.

Worst Points:

Honestly, none. The only one that might be an issue is that the body is listed as 63cm and he's actually 57cm! O_O But I already knew that and it's a big positive for me.

Eyes:

Eyeco Emerald (old pics), Alice's Collections glass (new pics)

Wig:

Monique Starr

Favourite colours:

gold, pink, red

Fashion style(s):

80s Glam Metal

Key fashion accessory:

star necklace, dangly earrings

Name story:

Monroe McCoy (Miska Kauri Raimo Luoma)

Monroe from Michael Monroe. McCoy from Andy McCoy, as he is very Hanoi Rocks inspired, so he chose these names for himself.

For his real name, Miska because it's the Finnish version of Michael, but I also love the name. The rest, I just picked because I like them.

Character age:

He ages in real time, but his birthday is June 26, 1995.

Character gender:

male

Offsite roleplay:

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

Monroe is over-the-top, outgoing, flashy, center of attention with attitude for the stage in his band Stained Glass Heart, but on a personal level he is very down to earth, friendly, sweet, encouraging, and loves building up others. He is the youngest in his family, with two older sisters, though he doesn't feel much connection to his family and moved out at a very young age. He met Lumi when they were very young, and the two have been inseparable best friends ever since. Monroe currently lives in the city with a wide range of friends. He is the frontman of Stained Glass Heart, a glam metal band, along with bandmates Lumi, Cooper, Collin* and Grady*. Collin is also his "Hero" ever since he rescued him from a creepy guy during his first night in the club after moving to the city. He considers Willow* to be his honorary little sister. He lives in an apartment with his cats Razzle (Peterbald hairless) and Lola (oriental shorthair). His apartment is next door to Lumi's, and they kind of in a relationship but not fully committed. He works at Uhlik's Music along with Grady*. In his free time, he enjoys crocheting, knitting, needlepoint, writing, clubbing, fashion and riding the metro at night. He is very musically talented and aside from singing also plays harmonica, xylophone, saxophone, guitar, bass and piano, though he hates guitar and bass because of his long fake nails. He cannot play drums to save his life. His friends say he is "allergic to life", as he has severe allergies to eggs, pork and red meat, and is lactose intolerant. Because of these dietary restrictions, he is mostly vegan and has become a very good cook. His favorite drink is pink gin and tonic, and he never takes more than $10 to the club, relying on his flirting skills to get him free drinks all night. He is highly annoyed by breaking a nail, losing things, and people who make their entire personality about one thing. On the other hand, he is highly annoying by being very messy, drawing on the mirror with makeup, wanting to hug everybody all the time, and being completely flaky and ditzy at times. Despite his downfalls, Monroe is a very upbeat and positive character, always having fun, making the best of life and constantly encouraging others and boosting their self esteem. Nothing boosts his own happiness like seeing friends succeed!
