...and a famous box.
You may say, "So what? It's an old Soom Elf Sabik box, a fairly rare doll but not famous.." And I would say "Yes, but it's Mr. Have's box." If you don't know who Mr. Have is, all I can say is he belongs to, and is the creation of, Seattle artist and doll collector Candygears. He looks like this:
He has a Flickr here:
(Also, Candygears does have pink hair.) Mr. Have is so famous that Soom later made this guy, and did some of his styling (IMO) as a sort of homage (scroll down to the second promo).
Anyway, Candygears painted up a doll of Cat's, Clyde the Romantic Heliot, who has gold trimmed hooves:
Clyde was displayed at the Seattle bjd convention Uncanny Dreams, and then shipped back to Cat in Mr. Have's old box, and then Cat, finding out that I needed boxes, especially for the kit-form-Benmore, sent me Mr. Have's box. It's a really large box.
