Say hello to this handsome young man named Taeyang Akira Destinee de la Rose (geez that's a long title xD)
He is part of a triple collaboration between ALICE and the PIRATES, Akira, and Groove
I don't know if you remember, but he was shown at Doll carnival 2013 and Doll show 39 holding hands with both of the lovely January 2014 dolls Pullip Midori Fukasawa & Pullip Aoki Misako
If you're in love with this handsome boy, you can add him to your collection by visiting eBay.
Things I love:
- The faceup on this doll is so gorgeous, I'm loving those piercing blue eyes
- I like the jacket with the pop of red from the rose
Critiques:
- I can do without the rest of the outfit, I'm not liking it too much
- Pants look a bit baggy on him
- Doesn't translate well in doll form (see images below to view what the life sized version looks like)
- Reminds me a lot like the Gackt doll
- Not feeling the side pony tail at all!!! lol
(The last images are of the actual outfit . . . so much detail, me wanty <3)
Fun fact: The outfit set that is for sale is name Destinee de la Rose
(I don't know how, but Akira managed to pull off the side pony. Taeyang, not so much >.> sorry but just no)

Boy the model who designed this suit and roses sure knew how to dress!! Its one of the most striking things groove has ever made, pullip, taeyang, dal, isul, byul, yeolume or otherwise. Its a work of art. The faceup is supernatural…make sure you see some closer stills so you can behold that beautymark, its on his right cheekbone, just below his ultra violet eyes?!

He’s one of the better Taeyangs they’ve produced in a while, though. And I do love the outfit. 🙂
