Description
All the dragons of the first pre-order were shipped! Check your emails.And since not everyone ordered a sueding option(What is highly recommended), I made an assembling and sueding guide. And I also share patterns for suede in this DA foulder.

I love this figure but I can't understand what "unsueded" and "sueding" means, can you explain it, please? Thank you so much for the tutorial ^^

Sueding refers to the old practice of lining a (then porcelain) doll's joints with very thin suede, to increase grip and reduce stress on the joints (and get rid of the awful scratching noises). Nowadays you can still use suede or faux suede on a modern BJD to increase posing ability, but most people use some form of rubber, like thin shells of silicone, or the hot-glue method (applying a thing layer of hot glue into the socket with a glue gun, then quickly press the limb into it, rotating as you go to prevent it from sticking. This will leave a rubbery glue coating in the socket). These last two methods are not permanent, which is always a nice option to have, as the dolls are often re-sold and any changes may decrease value.
So, unsueded would mean that the doll has no additional lining added to the joints.
