MILO has been shipped..and on his way to me

so, this kit has been the ever elusive kit to find and i was fortunate enough to have it locked in my ebay as a notice and had the chance to get it.

i was concerned at 1st about the payment, because when i opened up MY ebay, it showed craigs account for paypal there.
i swapped it, or thought i did, and it went direct to a thank you for your purchase ..page. i didnt even get to make sure the data was correct.

so i emailed the seller, and asked them to make sure on their end the money had cleared because it took thr weeknd for it to appear on my end.
and it had. i sent the money from my card, through my paypal, and it hit her account.

so, milo was shipped yesterday...
and is in route to me today.

so, hes in route to me.
takes about 3 days for me to get anything, so im expecting him by wednesday, altho i dont see anywhere on USPS his due date displayed. i am, however signed up for email notices, so ill have those sent when ever he hits a location and gets scanned in, love that were all digital now. 

in the conversation i had with the seller, she expressed shed like to see updates of his progress, i told her that was no issue, because ill be posting pics as i go on my Facebook page, she doesnt have social media. so she wont be able to see them.

i tried to send her my email, but ebay was dumb and wouldnt let any variation of what i treid to send go to her..she did the same, with the same results back to me, it was a fail for emaisl to be shared (dumb, really)

pretty sure if i sent her this blog link, ebay would say it cant be shared as well..so ill just have to send all my updated images to her via FB..watermarking them, of course.
i let NOTHING go public without a watermakr, one thats nearly invisiable, and one thats obvious.

if, for any reason, and i dont thinks hed do it herself, but you cant ever be too careful, my images get up on the web and someone trie to claim they have MY work in THEIR hands, thats gonna be a flat-out lie, because MILO is andreas  regular reborn.
and ill know, so i watermark, for that reason. to keep MY images safe and under MY control.

so we;ll be updating on my Fabebook page for this side of my dolls as well as here, if your not connected. 

in another note, my MICHELLE kit i wanted, wasnt ever purchased, it went back up for sale and  at the sellers original rate.
if i can manage to get the cash before anyone esle buys her, ill get her, but i know my luck, because i have an interest, shell be bought by someone else, heck she may already be i havent gone to go look today, lol

shes being sold, online by a retailer for 109.00
if i could get her at that discount price of 79.00 + shipping (13.00) =(92.00) doesnt seem like a huge discount, but its enough)
its good to know when i want this kit its still online, i thought it had been discontinued.

on this note. the site i buy most of my kits from has announced they are relaesing (and i have no idea the price they will be for) REALISTIC REBORNS,they call : REALBORNS
hers a sample of the opene eysed kit they showed:

i can see any of these realistic one selling like hotcakes and being VERY in demand, i cannot wait for these to be produced and see what they will be like and ALL the renditions of them from all the artists. SO EXCITED!
theres a sleeping version of this kit as well, cant seem to find that picture...FOUND IT!

i do, intend to have both of these kits, simply because they are so realisitc looking.
and i like the TWIN factor.

looking at them they look like they would make great biracial dollies as well.

a bit about how they are created, which i find facinating, because were stepping away from  molders who pour the kits and then ship, were going to be abkle to make these almost on demand now, of course the sculpt is created at the factory, and then shipped off to be poured, so were still at that stage, but with enough advancement and technology, i can see, in the near future (20 years, maybe even 10) creating these kits on demand, right at the factory.

Created by the Master's Hands
Bountiful Baby introduces the first ever Realborn® Babies.

A Realborn® is a Real Baby Replica, created directly from computer photometric scans of a precious real newborn baby. The beauty, innocence and soul of the newborn child is captured like never before in these stunning, heaven sent creations-- the most beautiful and perfect canvas ever offered to the reborn world!
Virtually every sweet baby fold, wrinkle and crease of the head, ears, eyes, nose, fingers, feet, and toes are captured with this technology. Then small details are carefully checked to assure the detail will transfer over beautifully into the vinyl. Then a 3D prototype print is created using one of the highest resolution 3D printers on the market today. From the 3d prototype print, the molds for the most perfect reborn artists' canvas (the Realborn® vinyl doll parts) are created.

cant wait, so excited!!
