So I did it! :D I managed to sell enough that I could make an offer for a partial trade on a body and I got it. :3 It was an insane deal, let me tell you (he had a broken finger and a few dings around his neck, but otherwise is in perfect condition - and frankly I kind of thought the broken finger was fitting considering why I need the body ^^;). Anyhoo, right place, right time, definitely. I'm happy, the other DoA-er is happy... it's so nice when everything works out. XD

I still do not have heads for these two. Alex's new head is paid for but I don't know if it's even shipped from Japan yet. :\ Y!J buying is so slow through a shopping service... I never realized just how much... But anyhoo. Yay, he's paid!! :D So awesome.

Lini, Ty, and Connor have been repainted and should also ship home soon. From the pictures, they look amazing! :O I can't wait to see them in person. I'll share later; I don't want to jinx them! ><

For now, I will share pics of the body, 'cuz it's too cool seeing the difference in Alex's old bod. I never had another Volks Beauty-White to compare him to so I really had no idea how he was aging - but the new body is almost like new. It may have aged from time, but is a perfect even colour all over and I don't think has been in the sun much if at all, so there is definitely a difference. :3

First, box-opening shots. The person I traded with told me not to freak out when I saw the box and assured me the body was well-packed, so really... I was prepared for this...

tiny box.


And yet... I was still (couldn't quite help it) a tiny bit... freaked out. Have an Alex!bod for reference:


( Do you see why I was a little worried? Cut for the rest - only 8 total )

So ya... pretty happy with this. Now, if Morbidollz can put Alex's broken head back together he will at least have a body, and if she can't... well then I will have to figure out what to do with that situation if it happens, when it happens. I'm trying to just take things as they come at this point. :)
