Stuart Nichols

Face-up artist(s):

April Story default

Date of acquisition:

March 2015

Provenance:

Ordered from April Story

Reason for choice:

There aren't many smiling male sculpts out there, which is exactly what I wanted for this character.

Best Points:

His smile! The company faceup is really nice too.

Worst Points:

The body is a bit of a pain - the joints are clunky and he doesn't like to sit up straight. He also arrived with a much more yellowish skintone than I expected - most of the other April Story dolls I've seen photos of look much more pale so I'm not sure what happened.

Eyes:

18mm Crobidoll glass

Wig:

Crobidoll

Favourite colours:

red, blue, grey, green, yellow

Fashion style(s):

classic/preppy/nerdy

Key fashion accessory:

bow tie, glasses

My husband described him as "an anime version of young Stephen Hawking" and I laughed really hard, but he's not entirely wrong.

Name story:

I borrowed his first name from one of my favourite singers, Stuart Murdoch from Belle & Sebastian

Character age:

26

Character gender:

male

Offsite roleplay:

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

Stuart's a pharmaceutical sales representative who tries to charm everyone he meets, and usually succeeds. He spends a lot of time in pubs after work, where he smokes and drinks, but for some reason doesn't do either at home.
