Progress continues on the crew of the Artemis, though we have still a cravat and hat shortage (stocking, too) Not shown: the ship's surgeon was missing her head (I think it's in a small box downstairs, but I haven't looked yet), the Master Gunner and the Carpenter also have no clothes, the Purser and the clerk are also in modern stuff and have no idea what is in store for them. But here, from left to right is: Ship's master Julian Scot (Granado Fabio) Tilly, Cabin Person (former London pickpocket) (Iplehouse Leona) Captain Davon Aldwood, Viscount Mulgrave (Granado Davon) First Lieutenant Andrew Coppersmith (Granado Xavier) Ship's Boatswain Consuelo Carvalho (a panthera, a non-human species) (Soom Epidia/Resinsoul body) Second Lieutenant William Keppel (Nephew to the famous Augustus Keppel)(Granado Guilem) Admiral Lord Thomas Pickering (here severely underdressed) (Simply Divine Alec/Resinsoul) Midshipman Jack Barnett (Granado Terra) Midshipman Christophe...

First of all, Crocus Lee is working on a Nuevo-sized head, named Fabio, and there was an announcement on the Facebook page from Ikaru: [2014 Chinese Golden week event] We will hold a surprise event on the 2014 Chinese Golden week. Dark side Andrew and Agent Mads will be visit to Granado during this event. Duration: 5/1 (Thur) - 5/2 (Sat) So if you missed Mads or Andrew you will have another chance at those heads! (I really love Mads--he will be going for a professional faceup soon from Lachlana ).

OK, so my head-hoarding doesn't seem so ridiculous now... Granado now follows IOS's "bad example" (as NikiB on the bjdnews.diary.ru blog puts it) of deleting older molds. Here's the news: Dear all, Thank you for your support to Granado. Our 3rd anniversary is coming. Before that day, we decided the followings will no longer be available. Which are including: 1) Sidonia - The next door beauty 2) Guilem as Sebastian, Twelfth Night 3) Gitana as Viola, Twelfth Night 4) Fayette as Titania, A Midsummer Night's Dream 5) Chaka as Othello, Othello 6) Davon as Romeo, Romeo and Juliet 7) Void.f - Dearly Beloved The above mentioned dolls will no longer be available after 31st, March, 2014. Also, we will stop producing the dolls once we reached the quota. Thank you for your attention. Regards, GRANADO My Epidia says "HA! Now I get to KEEP that bronze body!" (I was thinking of getting a bronze Sidonia head for it but that was several months...

Front views are on Facebook if you want to check out the comparison between these two bodies. It was nice to see these side by side, partly to get an idea of the height difference, but also because before I had missed seeing the Maiden body's new knees! They don't have the long extensions on either side of the knee, which is a fragile place on the old design. The elbows look a little more compact as well, and the waist joint is gone. I'm not sure that is a bad thing, though it does mean a little less flexibility, it also means a little more stability--a good waist joint is awesome, a shallow one can mean unwanted popping and slouching. I'm really eager to get my hands on a maiden body to try out her posing! (And pop some sad little bodiless heads on feet, too) :D
