So I found this roux by cassie brace for only $60 and was wondering if he seems authentic! The lady says she bought it for her daughter 3 years ago and is not sure what’s happened to the coa but he looks pretty legit to me when looking at painting and body!! I might bite the bullet here, a sole for $60?!

Any writing on the neck?
Yes there is 
It says the name so I’m leaning towards legit, it is hard to see though you can see a bit

Poor dirty guy

Yes he’s very dirty… its almost saddening to see a baby this dirty
Ive washed his hair and that helped with the smell a little. He has these weird brown spots on his head that didnt come off when washing, i think theyre from rooting needles

I have a question that somebody here may know the answer to. And the answer could benefit you greatly with regards to Roux’s rooting.
Can vinyl putty be used to fill the rooting holes and make the head smooth again? I have a sole that I bought stripped, with a few rooting holes on top of the head. I’m worried that the paint will pool in the holes.
@jlesser I think you have experience with putty. Is this possible?
@Riseandshinereborns congratulations on the fantastic deal. I am looking forward to seeing the new life that you breathe into this poor baby.

I have used it to fix cracks in a belly plate and a hole. But I have no clue if it can be rooted through…

Thats a good idea though Im not sure, Ive never used vinyl putty
Also this is new, salt to weigh limbs… Im not for sure if this is salt but Im not willing to try it and see for sure!

Looks like polypellets to me. This was a child’s toy for three years, so it could have been worse…

Yes luckily its not salt, just awkwardly shaped glass. I started stripping him tonight though Ill have to wait because I am out of paint stripper.
