Looks OK to me and the title sees OK, but he's a bit blurry - maybe the heat!   :)

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Thanks Guys!
I found the pieces on my new Egyptians...had to have Cleopatra and her family for the lovely clothing they wear. Great designs on these Egyptians!
Reminds me of when I lived in Saudi...took a while to get used to men wearing headdresses, but after a bit I did not notice them. Scarier were the women whose only feature you could see barely were their eyes behind full face veils. Gave me the chills just watching, and hard to believe in 130 degree F temps of July. Never knew if they were happy or sad under those veils.
Do they make enough PM Middle Eastern females for those markets? We need more than just one family representing one ethnic group. Still waiting for babies in all colors.

I love it! Are the torso and arms custom too?
