Sinjun (Granado Charles)

Face-up artist(s):

Crocus (Granado)

Date of acquisition:

Arrival: May 21, 2013

Provenance:

Purchased directly from Granado during first pre-sale.

Reason for choice:

This "character" sculpt that reminds me of the homely but sort of charismatic features of King Charles II of England at first didn't grab me at all... but he was so unusual (so many super-handsome or cute sculpts, not so many realistic character sculpts), that he grew on me and I just had to have him.

Best Points:

I particularly liked the facial hair of the faceup... and moles! I usually go for the handsome hunks or cute androgynous dolls, but I also like variety, so the sculpt and faceup appealed as something very different.

Also, I haven't used them, but the high-heeled feet they include just kills me!
