Back to Brooklyn Remi

I've had Remi for about 3 years, and today I decided to debox him.


He is handsome and tall with well-made clothes and accessories. His mohawk is a little off-center, which bothers me a little. His hair is rooted down the middle and flocked on the sides. I would have preferred the previous Remi with the afro.

This is not how I personally would have chosen to dress him, but I kind of like his attire. I really like his jacket. His T-shirt snaps partially up the back. The pockets on his pants are real, but he can barely get his hands into them because they are so tight. Remi's hands are removable, which makes redressing him easier.

As he was trying on his hat and jacket, Janay wanted to come by and say hello. Remi thought that she looked a little cold in that dress, so being the gentleman that he is, he offered his jacket and hat to her.

Other Fashion Royalty friends came by to say hello and welcome Remi out of his box. Remi is about the same height as Darius Reid, so he's a tall guy.

Remi's pants come unsnapped when he sits down. Adele and Darius didn't stay long.

Below, Remi shows off his articulation. He did not come with these underwear, they are borrowed. He is jointed at the elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles. His chest articulation allows him to bend slightly from side to side. He can also bend forward very slightly, but he can't hold that pose.

 Janay decided to help Remi show off his articulation.

Remi has great balance and is able to hold poses really well, even while holding up Janay.

Remi finds it much easier to sit without his tight pants.

Overall, I think that Remi is a great figure and I am glad that I was able to get him. I can live with his off-center hair, which is really my only gripe. His body is well-sculpted and I love his articulation. Janay is thrilled that I've finally released him from his cardboard prison, and I think that they make a stunning couple.

More Stuff...

Here is more stuff that arrived between May - July that I'm just now photographing:

Justin Bieber gear - for one of my teen guys.


Build A Bear Fashions - after visiting Roville's Blog, I went to BABW seeking fashions that would fit my curvaceous Dasia doll.  I asked the workers if they had fashions from the Friends2B line, and they told me no and that the line had been discontinued.  I bought some fashions anyway, hoping they would fit Dasia.  No such luck.  They are way too big.  Oh well, I'm sure I have some bears somewhere that can fit these.  The good news is that they told me that I could take as many of these ribbons as I wanted for free, so I grabbed a big handful.

Clawd Wolf - what more can I say.  He even has a fashion and some jewelry for a lucky someone.

Fashion Doll Head - a very nice friend sent this to me.  I will practice repainting and re-rooting on her.

Ken Doll Fashion - my action figure guys are looking at me nervously, wondering if they will be the recipient of this fashion.  I think that they can relax, as I'm sure I have an old Ken doll that would love to wear this.

JLS Celebz Mini Marvin - I blame... I mean I credit D7ana for this purchase.  I was never able to find any of the JLS dolls for a price that I was willing to pay, but this little guy was cheap.

Back to Brooklyn Remi - I came close to missing out on him AGAIN this year.  Back in Spring, I went down the list of Integrity Toys dealers until I finally found one who was still taking pre-orders.  I was nervous because I knew that there was no way that I would be able to buy him on the secondary market.  I waited and waited and my Remi finally arrived!

Tomorrow I will start writing about my recent arrivals.  And the deboxing has begun!
