Oops I almost missed this girl! So, I had the old F60 body with Delf limbs (Soony’s leftovers hybrid) and wanted a head to pair up with my Soony. I thought over a lot of options and actually picked up an old Elfdoll Soah head originally, but I found that I didn’t like how she looked with big ol’ 9-inch-head, 20mm-eye-wearing Soony. In my heart I knew the sculpt I had in mind was a Volks 4 Sisters. I ended up picking up a whole Megu from Dollyteria because she cost pretty close to what I’ve seen the heads go for on DoA. She’s a lovely mold I always liked, but she’s also a particularly good scale/style match for Soony. I’m going for a sweet frail goth/scary angel handmaiden kinda vibe with the two of them but I’m still trying to pin them both down.

I haven’t done too much with her since she arrived, besides sueding and styling… she has a Volks faceup, so she hasn’t been at the top of the queue, although I don’t like the faceup.

I’m almost through all the dolls! This girl is a Serenade Doll Charlotte SP. She has fun proportions, 1/3 height with a 5-6 inch head. She looks like roughly the proportions of my mature ¼ scale dolls, but taaaaaaall. She’s quite beautifully sculpted, but the details are kind of hard to make out with her translucent resin. I’d like to go in and give her some detailed blushing sometime. Her company faceup is beautiful but I’ve just added a little shading around the nose without sealing so far.

Oldest one I have is 7/6/2007 (only the doll on the right was mine):

I picked up this nice Fairyline Minifee boy body hoping that Tennant or Wes could use it, but it was way too small for both of them. However, what I did have was the extra sleeping head that Dollshe sent with my Saint. I was interested in modding the eyes open to look a bit more like the faceplate Saint with the smaller eyes, and I thought the proportions on the MNF body were really good. I made the wig from a wigcap I’d rejected for my first Saint’s wig because it was too thick, so the wig is kinda bulky but he has a lot of drama.

I could say a whole lot of words about my most grailiest of grail dolls but I will refrain from that and leave you with a bunch of Soony photos with minimal explanation. I will make my scale exception for her, she is the best and I love her. In the less than a year I’ve had her she’s had body mods, she’s had three faceups because I wanted it perfect, she got a rare old F60 body just for me to steal the arms a legs from, and I’ve made her two different hard cap wigs. I’m still feeling out her personality/character but she’s by far my favorite non-OC doll.

She’s a Garden of Dolls Nabiya I got on eBay for an extreme bargain, but she smelled badly of cigarette smoke, so she had to have a good bath. I think her company faceup was “enhanced” with nail polish. I was really afraid it would have stained her badly, but it came off fine. I did her faceup along with Conchita’s that went really badly in December, so I was frustrated and still haven’t quite finished it, even though I don’t think hers is bad.

Nabiya is an old American artist sculpt, casted by Bobobie/Resinsoul. I’ve liked her for a long time so she was cool to find. She’s dark tan and this is batch is darker and and the cooler side which I love.

Once I was actually nearly finished with my OC dolls, but not off my OC dolls kick, naturally I started thinking about shelling more OCs. King had been in the back of my head for a while, but I never come across any Project Doll Parts that seemed like they would work for her. When I realized the scale that Daniel and Tennant had turned out, though, I realized… hmm, that’s about FID size. And Iplehouse is a great aesthetic match for a Barbie like King. And when I went looking, I found a perfect combination of sculpt and color for her on the DoA marketplace, so that was that.

I made her wig pretty quickly, but I put off redoing her faceup because the Iplehouse one was perfectly nice. My first redo attempt, in December 2020, was just bad! Sometimes it’s just not working with you. I gave it another try slowly over this spring/summer and I’m much happier with the result. She’s gorgeous and she poses… enough, but I hate the Iplehouse hips, haha.

In spring 2020 I was going to attend an anime convention that obviously Did Not Happen, so I spent some of the money I’d set aside for that on an anime doll instead. I happened to find both the head and body I wanted readily available for a good price – 55cm Obitsu with a Parabox Sleeping Princess head. I’ve never had a soft vinyl/internal skeleton doll before, but they’re very fun! I was going for Animal Crossing vibes with her faceup (hence no eyebrows) but you can tell that the anime style thing isn’t my wheelhouse, haha.

Also from late 2019 to Summer 2020, here’s Tennant 2.0, which I worked on alongside Daniel. His head sculpt is a lot more refined compared to the first version, and more appropriately scaled. Like Daniel, he’s printed on my Anycubic Photon, primed, and airbrushed. I think it’s cool to see how much I’ve improved at faceups as well! I did go back and darken his brows a bit when I replaced his eyes. I’m very pleased that these two look good together now.
