Hope arrived this morning, and I had to take a few photos. For her first portrait I chose an angel outfit - one of the ones that had been commissioned specially for Hope. If she looks 'familiar' it's because Hope is a "modified Nyssa" (one of Kaye's first BJDs) and so is my Miki elf, so they have a 'family resemblance'. Hope is my first Kaye Wiggs girl in the new sun-kissed resin, and the factory did a very nice job on her faceup (there's no choice, all KW dolls come with a faceup) Hope came with very pale gray/blue glass eyes which looked a size too small, so I gave her some nice blue acrylic ones instead. Kaye Wiggs created Hope on September 11, 2011 in order to raise money for a special charity. Almost 500 were sold, making almost $100,000 for the charity. It's been quite some wait for Hope to arrive, and I'm glad she's finally here. Hope came with this red Jojo wig, a gift from Grace at JPop dolls. From all the photos being posted of Hope on the various forums, it's clear she looks great in almost any wig.

Hope is 45 cm, whatever that translates into. She has the original style MSD body, before Kaye started making different ones for her newer sculpts, like MeiMei.
