Scary Mary! She’s a Kurhn knockoff that has apparently had all of the color fade out of her vinyl. She was also on a weird little Breyer body. This is an Apple White body that has Catty hands for some reason (thrift stores, haha) but I think it works for her. It’s not as green, but, y’know, nothing is. The neck opening is very shallow on this head so the bulge at the top is very apparent, but I really can’t be bothered about it.

I’d almost forgotten this repaint to be honest, her head was too light for any body I had, including her original body, so I had experimetally stuck her on a tiny Breyer body, which was kind of cut but just not expressive or self-supporting in any way. And it still didn’t match. EAH has enough dolls in the super-white range that this one (Poppy?) is a great match for her though. I like her as an uncomfortable Cupid.

I had a big head-swapping session and finally came up with the idea of putting my Bratz heads (none of which I have jointed Bratz bodies for) on MH/EAH bodies. D’oh. Way nicer proportions than Barbie/Liv bodies.

Medusa here is my first real doll repaint and she’s been on a click-leg SIS Grace body all this time. She’s slightly lighter than the Grace skintone and slighty darker than Clawdeen. I have one Clawdia, but that’s too dark plus I only have the one, so, Clawdeen it is. She can sit now! And bend her wrists! It’s great.

I should try giving another dolls gelled curls like hers sometime.

Not-great photo of $1 doll show Janay head. She has some mystery debris on her face I can’t get off with rubbing alcohol and a magic eraser. Maybe with Windsor and Newton? I’ll probably repaint her eventually.

I got Freddie at Target (was hoping for other dolls on clearance, Descendants and EAH were the only ones at 70% off though… ) right before wisdom tooth surgery so I didn’t get a chance to unbox her for a while. She’s really cute and feels much nicer quality than I expected, having acquired some EG dolls at thrift. I actually like her face mold, but I noticed her reddish skintone was a really good match for Janay’s, and the body proportions seem okay for a regular-sized head, so they’re probably getting swapped.
