| "Handsome Devil" Damon |
I've actually been considering picking up one of the Dynamite Girls boys since before I bought my London Calling TJ this past spring, but they've proved illusive (or more correctly, have always sold out faster than the girls, and had secondary market mark-ups that went beyond what I was willing to pay). But then last month I noticed a reasonably priced listing for this doll on eBay and decided to take the plunge.
Damon has the standard Dynamite Girls male body, which turned out to be a fair bit sturdier than the female bodies of the line. I was glad to see that - the delicacy is one of the only complaints I have about TJ. The body has 14 points of articulation and can hold a solid selection of poses - the pose-ability was actually significantly better than I expected.
This particular release comes in their medium skin tone

The outfit quality is solid (and quite a bit more detailed than I expected). There is a layer of plastic wrap under the body to prevent staining - something I was glad to see, although that did factor into my decision to not undress the doll (I don't want to have to try to re-wrap with thin enough layers to redress him at this point).

The face painting is well done, and gives the doll an expression that borders on smirking. I did find myself wondering about the materials, since the doll's face seemed to reflect light in a different way than most of my dolls, but I'd have to try photographing him in a wider variety of lighting situations to say anything definite on that.
In any case, in every other way this doll exceeded my expectations, so I can't complain too much!

Congratulations on getting your Damon. He is indeed handsome. I bought him from a dealer along with Spooki Sooki when they first came out. I did remove his horns so he fits in better with my stories, but he still looks a little devilish!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteI love that yours has kept his devilishness even without horns - he just has that "evil twin" smirk, doesn't he?
He's a handsome looking fellow and that outfit really does look detailed. And yes, red is a very festive colour...you've nailed it ;)
ReplyDeleteI think the festive devil will need to be a new seasonal tradition at my house! ;)
DeleteHe's a handsome Christmas devil :-), he has a great face!
ReplyDeleteHe does, doesn't he? :)
DeleteHe looks so sharp! Like he runs a nightclub in the underworld.
ReplyDeleteHeh, you're right - he does! I'll need to take some photos of him together with my Lorne (from Angel) figure - they'd be a perfect pair!
DeleteWell, hellooooo Damon. You're here to TEMPT us, aren't you?
ReplyDeleteHe's very fine indeed. Great expression.
Heh, I think that is his central purpose, yes. ;)
DeleteCongratulations on getting him! He's good looking and has mega-character.
ReplyDeleteOh and he does love red now. Those are some outstanding (outkicking, lol?) boots he has also.
Which of the other DG guys would you have had if price and quantity were no problem?
Heh, with no restrictions I'd be hard pressed not to just say "All of them!" ;)
ReplyDeleteSeriously though, I think my three favourites would be the London Calling Cruz and the Plastic Inevitable Remi and Kyu. And maybe the Love Revolution Cruz with the flowing blonde hair would get to sneak in as well.
