So here is Granado's first vinyl doll, sort of a big action figure version of the resin guys Crocus Lee does. I actually ordered him as a headless body but Granado kindly sent him with the Udell head, which means I owe them some money. I am glad they did though--while I think I could have grafted the Jupiter head I have on there, it would have been a challenge. J thought Udell's head is a bit small, and I sort of agree, but I wanted the body more as a curiosity than a character, so the smallish head is OK with me. Since he's bouncy, he came without a lot of extra padding: Haha no broken fingers! Here he is out of the shipper: Amusingly, facing backward. His certificate says he is lucky number 13. He's not flawless--like one of the Obitsus I had, his hip and shoulder joints tend to slip off if you are not paying attention: It's easy to pop them back on, and if they get too loose. I might paint a strip of modge podge in there to make it grip better: ...

It's Granado's new vinyl doll--something like an Obitsu but with a larger range of motion. Looking at the skeleton, I think it will still be important to be gentle with the hip/spine connectors and bend them slowly and carefully, like an obitsu. Here is the body with it's vinyl "cover": You can read a lot more about it and it's posing and weight here . You can also just buy the frame alone for 80.00 usd, which might be really fun if you want to do something like a paperclay maquette over it. But if you just want a lightweight, hot guy to pose, you can order Udell in all his bronze magnificence (the same price as NS) here! If you do just get the Vindoll body, the checkout page will still ask you about the head--I went ahead and "added" the head and then it vanished when it got to the payment stage. I am hoping to rig my Jupiter head on there somehow (probably with something as simple as a binder clip over the "nub") because...
