My dal Ciel Robin Version also arrived last week, unfortunately I kind of fell behind with blogging new things as they arrived hence why there are so many posts today when I have a little bit of free time. I purchased her from VOTD as they currently have her on sale. I wasn’t home when she arrived so she ended up in the rental office. When I went to fetch her the property manager, who has by now become wise that pretty much any packages addressed to me are more than likely dolls she insisted on seeing her before I spirited her out of the office. So I opened her right there in the office and hilariously tried to explain that it is a female doll, portraying a male character who is cross-dressing. I decided I didn’t need two dolls named Ciel so I decided to name the more feminine of the two Chartreuse (the only liquor so good they had to name a color after it).

I personally consider her to be female, as I am not a big fan of the anime (I don’t dislike it but I haven’t watched much of it and I don’t really have the desire to watch much more of it) so I am attached to his/her’s character in the anime like I am with the other anime pullips from Rozen Maiden and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Even though I am not as attached to the anime character, I still consider regular version Ciel to be male and I consider Ciel and Chartreuse to be twin brother and sister. Her face up is similiar to regular release Ciel’s but is more girly, her lips are more pink for example. I actually really prefer her over the original release, I love her stock and overall aesthetic a lot more than the original’s. Her stock was surprisingly well made.
