I finally got around to unboxing my second Decora Girlz Luna, so I can repaint her soon. I am super excited to work on such a giant headed doll. Which is surprisingly something I would never think I would want! Lol! I prefer tinier dolls, with tinier heads (nothing under 25cm, for customization purposes!). However, I found Luna to be a super cool looking doll since I saw her for the first time last year (if memory serves). Now, I am just excited to paint a super gigantic head again. My biggest doll so far is my Limhwa LImho Mano (67cm tall), but his facial features are far more realistic, so his face is in general not as huge. They probably have the same size of head in height, but not the same proportions. This doll's face is just super wide, not just super tall. I feel this girl has the most massive head of any dolls I own so far proportionately. I also own one OG Harajuku doll I want to keep in box, one Blythe I also want to keep in box, but I don't feel their heads are quite the behemoths this one appears to be. Hard to compare, with in-box-dolls, but just from memory...

I took a few photos of her, to remind me of how nice she looked out of box. The eye on the right appears to be a bit lower than the left one, but other than that, she's pretty much perfectly well screened. No signs of pixelated paint anywhere, no smudges, no other factory flaws I can see. That's why I got two, so I wouldn't regret repainting one. She's really cool-looking to me, once again. So, I love her out of the box, but I am also a crazy-old-fart-traditional-artist. I want to repaint her really badly! Cool as she might be, factory default, I am always tempted to repaint toys/dolls I find super cool/beautiful/appealing. DX

I took a photo with my newly unboxed Sasuke Uchiha Reproprize figure as well. Just to show how big of a toy each are, to some RL friends. I wish Sasuke was quite a bit bigger, but he's surprisingly larger than I thought he would be. She's propped against my bottle of isopropyl alcohol I keep at my desk, because I want to keep her in her retail box once I am done customizing her. I feel it makes for a great display box. I didn't want to remove the stand and not be able to attach it again afterward. (:

R&D Dolls Susie - Rare Black Curly Hair - Gray Eyes - Peasant Outfit

Rudi Teruel and David Wu introduced their collector fashion doll Susie in 2003, which was issued in limited editions ranging from 100-400 dolls until 2008.* (*Curly-haired Susies are among the more scarce examples.)

According to the company, Susie represents a 21-year-old from a Chinese- and Spanish-American background, who is studying fashion design in San Francisco.

Her face sculpt and articulated body are original to R&D and made of hard plastic/rigid vinyl. (Her head is not a soft vinyl like Barbie.)

14 Points of Articulation - 11 Inches Tall - 1/6 Scale. She can borrow fashions from dolls like Momoko, Takara/Tomy Jenny, Francie, Teen Skipper, Azone Clothing, Robert Tonner’s Tiny Kitty Collier, and some Integrity Toys Fashion Royalty dolls.

This rarely seen example of Susie comes with her original white underwear, well-made white peasant blouse, and unusual hair decoration: Still sewn into her hair is a lovely piece of “silver” and black enamel filigree-style hair jewelry.

Also comes with: new soft vinyl black boots, a removable “silver” bead necklace, and a new black cotton print peasant dress (which was designed to fit Integrity Toys Fashion Royalty dolls, which share Susie’s slender frame.).

She is in excellent used condition, having only been owned by an adult collector and kept out of direct sunlight.

It’s been a minute since I posted any pics of one of my Rainbow High dolls, but this time of year basically requires I take some pictures of Delilah Fields🥰:

Anyone else loves the autumn leaves?

Just discovered that #RainbowHighDolls can wear selected Blythe clothing and BJD shoes. Their waists are larger than Blythe of course so bottoms need to be elastic to fit. Still, I appreciate getting more use out of doll clothing for various dolls.

Bild Lilli, the Original German Barbie Doll ♡ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - With the new Barbie movie coming up I thought I should make some Barbie inspired art. With some digging for references I came across the Bild Lilli doll. After reading up on Lilli, I realized many people don't know that her design was stolen! I thought it was interesting and wanted to do a piece about Lilli. ♡

Bild Lilli was popular in Germany for being one of the first 'mature' dolls, described as sexy, young, innocent, and fresh. In the 50s' Lilli was created for a newspaper comic strip before she became a doll. When Lilli got popular from her comics there was a demand from many women for Bild Lilli dolls and was later marketed for kids. With Bild Lilli, kids could dress her up in various fashion (much like Barbie).

The owners of Mattel had taken a trip to Germany where they saw the Bild Lilli Doll. They were enamored by Lilli and decided to take one back to America. Later on, in America a doll was put on the market who looked much like Bild Lilli, though her name was Barbie.

I promise I didn't ask myself, " can I make a hyper-cutesy-looking-doll, hyper-creepy-looking, or what!" Lol! I always wanted to try my hand at repainting one of the Lol OMG dolls, particularly the male ones. When I got my Rocker Boi back when the doll released a few years ago, I thought he would be perfect for me to try. I got two, so I could keep one in box (he comes with Punk Girl). Sadly, he is a plastic shade of sun-burned red IRL. So, I kept putting that repaint off. I did make a mockup, and even planned on replacing his default body with the Mattel BTS body (I own too many, and don't really need any of them now! Lol!). His default body is too tiny for my taste, I would rather have a taller broader version of it, but there's nothing of the sort, that I know of. I am not a fan of the BTS body either, but that's probably the palest mass-produced body I own too many of, that I don't have to import and already have a million of them. So, I'll be keeping this dude on that body for a while.

My mockup for this repaint/mod has tinier eyes, and chipmunk cheeks. I don't know why I did that with the cheeks, there's no way in hell I can do that to this sculpt. I do want him to have much smaller eyes though. But I had to fill in the sculpted eyes with my old rusty Aves Apoxie Sculpt a million years ago, when I got this doll, because the LoL OMG eyes are massive!! And they are literally sculpted to be deeply carved onto the head. I had a huge pain in the lower back sanding all of that as flat as possible, without making the sculpt completely flat or ruin it in the way. I still need to mod/flatten it a bit further (the eye area), but I didn't have to add any filler as I had feared. The first time I modified him, and repainted him, I feared I had done a sh1tty job because my Apoxie was so old. However, I lucky didn't had to do any additional, additive mods. Just needed to sand a million years more! And I'll probably need to sand even further to get the tiny eyes I want, next time!

That will be the next time I am feeling energetic! I layered the paint way too thin at first, to match the much paler BTS body, so I kind of shot myself on the foot doing that. I do appreciate texture on realistic HS, but not on hyper-sylized ones as much. At least, not bumpy texture. I don't mind painted/faux/pigmented on texture on stylized heads, but I kind of mind this kind of thick texture from too many layers of paint (love it on 1:6 realistic-ish heads, but not on melon-headed anime-ish ones). It was my mistake, however. The next time I'll probably try to get myself a can of white acrylic spray paint first, or go thicker on my initial paint layers, for the color matching aspect. He's a vampire, so I don't want texture of any kind of him, I just want him to look dead-pasty-white-kind-of-pale, and I'll probably rebody him by then. I quite like him for now, I wish there was no texture to speak of, but live and learn I always say! (;

Anime Balala the Fairies Shirley/Xiaolan (小蓝) Doll NEW in Box. Extra Outfit. Rainbow Heart Stone Series 2011 from Auldey Toys.

This Balala the Fairies Shirley/Xiaolan has never been removed from her box (old store stock).

She comes with her fairy outfit (with boots), a second street clothes outfit (with shoes), comb and mirror, and a magically-themed accessory (child-size “wand”). Note that her shoes have come loose in the box, and the box does have storage wear.

For reference, I have an out of box example to show a closeup of the face and the body she came on. Her face is lovely, but the body underneath the costume is one of the more spindly fashion doll bodies. However, I was able to easily move her head to an AliExpress generic brand version of a Made to Move body (by softening the head first with a heat pad.)

Here is some background info on this interesting line of magical girl dolls:

“Balala the Fairies (巴啦啦小魔仙) is a Chinese magical girl franchise created by Alpha Group, (formerly Auldey Toys/奥飞娱乐股份有限公司). The franchise began as a live action show but is currently computer animated.

Balala the Fairies infrequently releases fashion dolls though there are always toy lines and roleplay items.

The Rainbow Heart Stone (巴啦啦小魔仙之彩虹心石) dolls were released in 2011. They are the first set of Balala the Fairies dolls created despite being from the second series.”

Кукла, оформленная в модном стиле, украшена одеждой с орнаментами шибори индиго и батика, обладающими сложным рисунком воскового напыления. Она выделяется на фоне белого цвета. Её наряд включает элементы стяжки с волнообразными линиями и бундишвингунговыми геометрическими узорами, напоминающими работы Дональда Джадда в духе минимализма. Ткани куклы сочетают изысканность дизайна и строгость конструкции; пейсли-мотивы сливаются в единое фрактальное изображение, воплощающее элегантность моды и строгую эстетику минималистичного искусства…
