Ocean's history is a sordid one - I purchased his blank base body from a less-than-honest eBay seller who nearly forgot to send him. When he finally did arrive, his left hand was irreparably broken. I was irked and my first inclination was to toss the doll but I'm not one to give up so easily, especially when I've put time and hard-earned money into a thing. Annoyed but inspired, I decided to turn him into a pirate.
I replaced the ruined hand with a hook I made from genuine leather and metal after I blushed and sealed his body. His hair is hand-rooted mohair in 3 different shades for depth and goes nicely with the stormy-sea blue eyes I painted on him. His lips, eyes and nails were all sealed with gloss and doll paint fixative for color that lasts.
His outfit is a compilation that took a couple of months to collect the entirety of. Ocean's pants are Barbie* brand and the pirate accessories (vest, patch, hat, boots) are Ken*'s. His shirt is a Who's That Girl? Dollfie* shirt -- it had the slightly-frilly look Ocean needed as well as sleeves that would accomodate his handicap.
Technically speaking Ocean's hook can be taken off but it requires more care to remove and put it back on than a hand piece would. I've found his hook fits through most fashion doll sleeves without needing to be removed so that's how I change his clothes. His hair is shampoo-able too but again requires paying attention to the hook as the bindings are made of real leather.
Ocean was sold 09-06.
