Wisteria in action!

Wisteria is an Ortomi gen 4 on a CF Doll Dai body.

the new pixelated barbie faces are horrible to remove. ive tried following reddit advice on leaving soaked cotton balls of pure acetone on their faces for 20-30 min before trying to scrub the paint off but that barely even made a dent, and i repeated it like 3 times, ive only been able to get like 40% of the paint off at best. elbow grease seems to basically do nothing regardless.

due to getting careless from frustration i also accidentally got some acetone on their bodies so they have some melted scars now :( which sucks bc i bought them for their MTM bodies to begin with and removing the facepaint and repainting them was just supposed to be something unimportant to do with their old heads while i figure out what new heads to put on them..... so, lesson learned, pop the heads off before attempting to remove the paint on the pixelated dolls bc all the hard work makes it way more likely to accidentally damage the bodies.

anyone have any other advice about removing the pixelated facepaints than this "leave cotton soaked in acetone on them"?

My WIP Cleo doll! I still have a lot of smoothing to do lol

My tumblr has been shadowbanned💀

All good now though! I'm back from the dead with a bunch of new stuff. This is an ImomoDoll Apsu head I'm working on. She's going to be Coco from WHA. I'm so glad there is a company with more affordable vinyl anime-style dolls. Imomos aren't perfect and the body has some issues however I'm glad to have one, I really do. The vinyl is really nice and doesn't have a "cheap" feel to it. I might take the body apart and make it more poseable when I have more time.

doll customizers i need your help!! i’m rerooting for the first time (specifically mh g3 ghoulia and frankie) and i’m having some trouble getting the hair out. i managed to get nearly all of it, but there’s a few strands that just won’t go! i’ve been mainly scraping the glue off, but when i scrape those last few spots it does nothing and i don’t feel any resistance. i’ve heard of people using nail polish remover to dissolve the glue and i’m thinking of trying that next. if anyone has any tips i’d really appreciate it!!

(sorry for the poor picture quality, but you get the idea)

My first regret purchase and turning it around!

Warning- this got a little long lol. Doll transformation pics at the end!!

Soo, over a month ago I finally received a doll that I've been waiting for for weeks, but what was supposed to be a happy day turned into dread as I realised that I did not like her. Now, no shade to anyone who has her and loves her! I hope you do, since she deserves it. She's just not for me.

It shouldn't have been that way; I did my research and waited for two weeks before ordering it to make sure it wasn't just an impulse buy. I looked trough all the pictures and I loved them.

It just wasn't meant to be, I guess.

She's been sitting on my desk for over a month. I tried posing her in interesting ways and changing her outfit, but it didn't work. I was scared of personalising and drastically changing her, just in case I decided to resell. But still, nothing worked, and seeing her just filled me with dread and regret. It made me dislike her even more, to the point of not just disappointment over her but actually hating her.

Finally, I decided to talk to my boyfriend about the situation. He doesn't know anything about dolls, but he'll happily listen to me ramble about anything, which is one of the best ways to find solutions (if you don't have a boyfriend, talking to a friend/toy/imaginary person works the same way!). I realised that it was honestly just the doll's head that bothered me. As it happens, I have a doll on the way whose head I could take- I wasn't planning on using it anyway. The neck peg fit, and so I went on to make plans to totally change the doll! The original:

Looking back, she's really not the worst. It was just my regret taking over, but I'm happy I ended up changing her.

Now, for the transformation! I transed the doll hehe^_^ I made this lil edit and fell in love with him instantly. The head is from UfDoll Doremi series. I don't have it yet, but the neck peg fits so I think the head should too. I want him to be a sheep-satyr!

First thing I did was the dye job on his legs. The original white was a little strange to me with the hair tufts. I think the brown gradient looks much nicer, and it makes the hooves so much prettier!

Since I don't have the head yet, the only thing left to do was clothes!

I really like how his outfit came out! I gave him a ring as an anklet and a hair-adornment for his arm. The loincloth is made from an old pair of pants. I made the scarf by sewing a rectangle into a tube and putting a piece of wire inside, so it keeps the shape.

All in all, I'm so happy with him now, he's so much better and I finally love him as he deserves<3
