New Iple girls on the way!

Me and Sarg placed a big order to Iplehouse yesterday - both of us ordered a new girl! ♥ I wasn't supposed to buy a big BJD now, but since Sarg was ordering we figured we'd kill two birds with one stone and get these both girls at once, saving in the shipping costs as well XD They're going to be a couple too, so it's quite fitting lol~

(All these pictures belong to Iplehouse!)

I ordered SID Grace in real skin, with large bust and no mobility joints or faceup :3 She's going to be my character named Katherine Danrow, also known as just K. As a random fact, her cousin is Alexiel Danrow who goes by the nickname X :'D

I wasn't particularly interested in the Grace sculpt before Iplehouse recently introduced her as a basic version with this stunning faceup option that made me realize she has a lot of potential of being the perfect K. I had planned to shell her as Carina, but Grace got me more inspired about the character, so I decided to alter my plans! I'm glad that I was able to get her on SID body as a basic doll instead of Custom Doll System, which I would've needed to use if I decided to go with Carina (since she's originally an EID). I obviously wanted Katherine and Renate to have that cute little height difference XD

Katherine is a talented engineer that specializes in robotics and mechanical battle gear. Most of the other people working in the same field are males and they never stop wondering how a female can work in such a job - and be more successful than them... K dresses quite formally most of the time - classy suits and dresses are her thing. Oh, and she never wears any other colors than black or white ^^;

Sarg ordered EID Raffine in normal skin, with medium bust and no mobility joints or faceup~ She's going to be Renate, or just Ren for short. Renate was first shelled as EID Bibiane, but Sarg thought it makes the character look a bit too childish and didn't really bond with the head, so she decided to sell it and re-shell Renate as Raffine :) Ren's style is also going to change a little bit - she's getting a bull skull tattoo (maybe some other tats as well) and some scars, inspired by Venom Snake from Metal Gear Solid. Renate has yellow eyes and brown hair :3

Personality-wise she's a good friend of Shagrilah and Ronya, and currently works as a soldier at Xymox Headquarters. She's quite an unisex person and sees herself as more of a male than a female, but we still talk about the character/doll as "she".

I also wanted to show the blank pictures of both sculpts:

Iplehouse is definitely the favorite company for both of us, so we're always thrilled to be able to bring more of their lovely sculpts home ;3; They are usually quite fast to get the dolls ready for shipping - in the best case we might get a shipping notice next month already! We ordered with 2-part layaway though, but Iplehouse starts making the dolls right after the first payment, which is great :3

Sarg already has the eyes and wig ready, but I need to order Katherine's grey eyes >3< The wig she's getting from Iplehouse as well, though we'll customize it a bit and add some highlights.
