Souldoll Bella & Justitia - double box opening

I was kind of hoping that I'd have time to make a post about the last weekend's second photoshoot before making this post, but nope, I haven't had the time to even edit the photos yet ^^; I wanted to make this box opening post on the arrival day, so the photoshoot post will have to wait for a bit more...

Anyways, as the title says, my and Sarg's Souldoll order from December finally arrived ^3^

Souldoll previously gave us an estimated shipping date for late March, but it got delayed since they apparently had a lot of orders during December/January. The second time we asked, they gave an estimate for late April. Well, we didn't hear any news by the end of April, so we thought that there's some delay again, but I happened to check our order status on Tuesday and noticed that the order was "on shipping"... When I checked the tracking numbers (our order was so huge that it was splitted into two packages...) I noticed that Souldoll had indeed shipped them on the last day of April and the packages were already in Finland :D So we paid the (heavy) custom fees right away and got the girls home this morning~

Warning for DOLL NUDITY!!!

Huuuge packages feat 65cm Shagrilah :D They were so heavy that the mailman asked Sarg to help him carry them inside... 7,5 and 8,2 kilograms, so in total almost 16kg of resin awesomeness X''D

There were actually two doll boxes in each of the package, so four boxes in total ^^; The armors needed their own boxes and the dolls needed their own too... I've never owned a doll from Souldoll, so I was really excited to get this beautiful box with a butterfly logo ;3; 

Armors and wings :3 A looot of bubble wrapper XD Everything was so safely packed!

Aand all pieces unwrapped :3 The extra shield and lance belong to Sarg, otherwise we both got the same armor set. Though I splitted my helmet to another local hobbyist, since I don't need it.

Then, let's take a look at the dolls itself before I show some detail photos of the armors~

Sarg also got the default outfit with her Justitia :)

Awww look at these adorable mummies XD

It feels like they're showing some personality even straight from the box :D Lana is a bit insecure and shy, whereas Sandrian is cheeky and impatient, she definitely looks like she wants to get in all kinds of trouble already XD

Hands~ The left ones belong to Lana :)

Noses ♥ 

Here is my beautiful Lana ♥♥♥ I love this sculpt so much, she looks so adorable~ Her features seem like a mixture of Soom Onyx and Nephelin :3

And Sarg's Sandrian! ♥ This sculpt looks SO different without the default faceup, it didn't do her justice at all *o* She actually has the same kind of naughty grin as Iplehouse Scarlet, which Sarg also has XD 

And then the detail photos of the armor parts, as promised!

Leg armors ♥

Shoulder pieces

Arms and hands

Chest piece ♥ This is probably my favorite from the whole set~

Helmet

Sarg's shield

The lance

And this photo shows how huge it actually is...

The wing lol... 

And lastly a photo of Lana with a wig ♥ This ain't hers though, she's just borrowing it for the photo since it was the closest to her own wig :)

I'll try to work on Lana's faceup and ear mods this weekend ^3^ Sarg is in charge of painting all the armor parts, so it might take a while before she manages to finish everything, but for now I can play with Lana without the armors and sew some clothing for her! We're really excited about these sisters and can't wait to be able to take photos of them together~ They're both just as lovely as we had expected :3

Have a great weekend guys~ ♥

Guess what just happened... A huuuge doll order happened o_o

You might've already read from Sarg's DeviantArt journal that we were both considering getting Souldoll's newest Tarot series release, Justitia, which has the most awesome SD sized armor and huge movable feather wings. And in the end we DID order, though my plans changed a little bit along the way and I ended up getting another sculpt with the armor XD

I ordered Bella with the armor+wings and Sarg ordered Justitia with the outfit, armor+wings, shield and lance. Both dolls are white skin with no make up or any blushing/painting :3

We both really fell for the gorgeous armor and Sarg loved the head sculpt as well, but for me she was lacking something and felt more like Sarg's doll than mine, which is why I was a bit unsure if I should pass on the armor as well... Then they released Bella and well, it was instant love XD That was the moment when we both realized that we MUST order these girls!!

Character-wise my girl is called Lanarwen and Sarg's is Sandrian, or just Lana and Sandra like we shorten their names in RP~ They are elf-like creatures and sisters, who are deeply in love with each other... Sandrian is the stronger sister, trained to be a warrior, while Lana is more lady-like, sweet and innocent "daddy's little girl". Sarg has made some sketches of them both and we're really excited to see how our plans will end up working for their doll shells~

We got a really nice 15% discount due to Souldoll's ongoing winter event, it definitely made the order less hurtful for our wallets hahah XD We'll be paying with layaway as well, which means that it might take a bit longer time for these girls to be manufactured, but we don't mind since we need some time to gather everything ready for them anyway.

These will be our first Zenith girls and among everything else, I'm very excited about the gorgeous body too~ I already have some clothing ideas in mind and can't wait to get to work on them >:3
