Valentin (Iplehouse Tedros)

Face-up artist(s):

Iplehouse --Noctarcana Circus version

Date of acquisition:

Arrived: July 8, 2010.

Provenance:

I purchased directly from Iplehouse. Have CoA, Box, Shipper, fullset Outfit, Booklets, receipts, etc.

Reason for choice:

Been watching and admiring Iplehouse's large, realistic muscle-men since the beginning. Tedros, with his fabulous facial hair and sculpt just grabbed me (and I don't even like facial hair!). The EIDs are big and heavy and are almost too much... but the sculpts are just so gorgeous!!!

Best Points:

Iplehouse tans are nice
Beautiful face and body sculpt
Loved how entire doll was styled (faceup, outfit, etc.)
Great facial hair/faceup

Worst Points:

Big
Heavy.
Not a fantastic poser, but not horrible.

His character style.
