A Lily in the Garden (5 of 5)
A quick review:
She's a YoSD-sized BJD, but made of ABS plastic instead of resin, which means she costs a fraction of what she would be if she was a resin doll. The ABS plastic also means she's considerably lighter than my other YoSD-sized doll. She poses like a champ though and is really stable on her feet. I didn't even have to wire her or use hot glue sueding (except for her neck). (If you want to see how well she can pose, I recommend reading Retrograde Works' excellent review.)
One thing I don't really like about her is how her head is attached to her body. It's hard to explain, but the elastic attaches to plastic "bars" in her head. It makes it really hard to remove the head, which is necessary to change her eyes. I much prefer heads that attach with S-hooks or O-rings—they make the head so much easier to remove. In the future, I might try restringing her so that she can use an S-hook instead.
The headcap was also almost impossible to take off. I actually had to use the can opener on my Leatherman tool to gently wedge it open. haha! Luckily, that was easy to fix. I just filed the sides of the pegs a bit and I can pop the cap on and off now.
Overall, I'm really happy with her. She's super-cute and I love her smiling face. I also love that she can share clothes with Wednesday, my Lati Green Coco.
