happyJulian of Norwich had a point: All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.
Peeps, say hello to Trouble.
Trouble is, as best I can tell, a Lucas 1st who has been pampered and protected from sunlight his whole resin life. No discoloration, no chips, no scratches, no stains. I could wish that his previous owners hadn't multiple-pierced his ears, but such is life. I need to replace his eyelashes and tighten his stringing just a tad, but otherwise, he's fresh as a daisy.
Cast in 2002.
Banzai, Volks.
(Apologies for the phenomenally awful picture--all God's chillun's having a bad hair day, and the flash + incandescent light don't help one bit. I just couldn't wait to post.)
*Not looking at your userpic, in case I'm infected with SwD Lucas Fever!*
He's a cutie and a half!
*snerk*
In my defense, I didn't play the bidding-war game, and I refused to add money for the "extras" that I didn't want. Judging by the total lack of response to my cheery thank-you PM and measured but positive feedback as soon as the package arrived, I think the seller isn't what you might call happy with me.
I'm so crushed.
(I need to try those gray Zouks in him--the ones I bought from you--because while these Soom Purple Nebulas are okay, they aren't thrilling me. That means wrestling the Zouks away from Kit, though . . .)
My Lucas 2nd has been de-yellowed several times .. that's so fab you got one in such good condition ♥
I was prepared for serious yellowing, undisclosed chips, you name it. Will stop griping about the seller right now! ;-)

I remember when I first saw the Lucas and Chris first versions ... I thought they were SO ugly and that no one would buy them because they were so expensive! XD
That Lucas 1st outfit is adorable; trying to track one down will keep me happily occupied for quite a while.
It's so funny, isn't it, the way our eyes change over time? I thought the same thing as you did when I first saw Lucas and Chris (or "Clith," as Babelfish rendered it sometimes when I started looking at Y!J). I've really only been bitten by the Lucas bug in the past several months, as I worked through my hyper-realistic BJD phase and circled back to the classics. I could say it's destiny, though, since Lucas 1st was released the day after my birthday . . .
This is so funny to me because I have a new MSD girl and was thinking of naming her Trouble, but than decided on something else. :)
will he get a new faceup? just curious. he is great!!! this is about the only boy that I think would look good with my girlies. ^__^
You know, I think you're right! An F16 boy might be just what your Amazons need. :-)
