The Box

I have to admit one of my favourite parts of this hobby has to be the time you get the box arrive and you get to unwrap another small or large resin occupant for your household. There's no feeling like finding out there's a parcel waiting for you either at home or at the post office (the post office more often than not) and that you get to unwrap it and revel in its contents.

I got to have that experience when a small box arrived at my house last Wednesday. I had an errand I had to complete before I got to open and I forgot a whole heap of "supplies" when went through past my place to pick it up, but I did unwrap it and I did have the shiver of excitement when I did.

The box contained one small Minion - Ankou and one body for another Minion, Veja and a faceplate for Emma. So I now have three Minions (although Mati is protesting her superiority) and I love how different they look now they're out and about.

Ankou is a WS Aki, the only one of my RealPukis with an actual RealPuki faceplate. He has a gorgeously cheeky face and a tiny pair of fangs - I'm already planning a photo shoot with him, Nemain and Pax. I also need to get some photos of him with his Masters - the twins Vesna and Rasmus.

I'm only not particularly sure about his face up around the lips - it looks a little like it was put on with a crayon in some places...

Ankou!

I did also get a different box earlier in the week, which contained a new wig for Arawn. I haven't been happy with any of his wigs so far and it has been a source of annoyance for me that I haven't picked right twice in a row. The first I bought before Arawn arrived, so there is some concession, however the second wig, while a good colour - was the wrong style and it made it so hard to photograph Arawn. 

He is now wearing a bigger version of Hades' wig except in Natural Black and Goldenrod and it looks so much better on him. I think I've finally found the right wig!
