The first thing that i noticed was that the box is pretty heavy. A sign that this was a truly decked out doll.
When you open the box you are greeted by the second outfit. It consists of what I would describe as a crimson red dress and bustle. They're separate pieces with snap attachments. Very beautiful but the snaps will be very present on the back if you don't like the bustle. It's also lined with what i would say is a sheer tricot fabric for structure. They are attached the the bock with string which leaves a slight hole, but not too noticeable. Included is a metal hanger which just feels so deluxe.
Once you pull that out, you find the doll. When i tell you that it's a face that could launch 1000 ships i mean it. Just a very beautiful doll. This is the first new sculpt released, the DF04. She has brown gradient brows, a neutral toned smokey eye with gray irises, bold red lips with slight painted teeth for a pouty look, topped off with a beauty mark on the right rosy cheek. Her long black tresses are styled up into a ponytail wrapped in a braid at the base.
She comes in red lacy lingerie that's fortified by a tulle layer underneath. A nice matching detail on both outfits is the ribbon arm strings with gold plastic buckles. Both come with zipper closures as well.
Her accessories are gold earrings, a gold bracelet, easy to slip on dark red shoe leggings, a heart locket purse with gold chain,four sets of the standard defalucy hands. (2 skin tone/2 red) and a saddle stand.
Personal thoughts:
this is a great doll and I'm so happy to have survived the bloodbath to get her. The snaps are slightly disappointing if you want to do her without the bustle but i like her with it. The dress could be a bit more cinched but they still gave her shape.
Overall I'm a bit confused on if the lunar series is just RED or more asian inspired like the first doll. This doll and Paris Series 5/6 have similar outfit styles down to the legging shoes. I was a bit sad to miss out on one of those but i did notice that.
