She’s so tiny, she’s so cool! She smells like a basement and her hair Feels Like Glue! ❤ Her dagger is metal, her boots and gloves have beads sewn on them! Her cape, gloves, and boots are all in great condition (unlike the Rayearth boot situation) and she came with a stand~

I expected her to be a little shorter than her Italian counterpart, but not this short haha ( do not be misled, I adore her, this is amazing)

Italian Lina has been put on a different body, and her original body is at the bottom of a stack of bodies, so pure comparison is not exactly happening here, but Italian Lina had sculpted gloves molded on to her arms and did not come with a headband or earrings. Her cape and shoulder pieces are constructed with a bit more stability than Japanese Lina. Some kind of elaborate one-to-one comparison can probably happen eventually.

This Lina has the basic expected articulation at shoulders, hips, neck. She’s also got a turn at the waist and her knees bend. Her hip joints will let her legs move side to side, but the same does not appear to be true for her arms. I haven’t inspected the joints to be certain yet. When she got here I was so excited to put on all of her accessories that I’m not terribly excited to take them all off again to check!

Somewhere on an old hard drive is still the super grainy photo that I first saw of this doll when I was in high school and was told that it would be impossible to find one~~☆ Lina got me through Some Shit, I’m so glad to own this!
