The big city walmart got Shadow Highs recently, and in a moment of weakness, I got Ash. I always liked the Rainbow High line well enough, but apparently I can't resist big dolls or fantasy colors, lol.
His packaging was much less complicated than the other Rainbow High doll I purchased (for a modding project) in that I was able to access all his clothes without tearing any of the packaging apart.
I didn't care for his airpods or the sneakers he wore in-box, but otherwise I love his outfits. I wonder if he's supposed to be Japanese or just an otaku? Maybe both?
I plan on going through and cleaning up the loose threads and hairs. Maybe someday I'll wash the glue out of his hair, trim the back to his crown, and style it more like the box art.
I suspect it's the case with all the Shadow High dolls, but he was a pain to photograph.
