Ara? Who’s this shorty? *gets beaten up* x_x
Finally my Taiga (from Toradora!) Mini Dollfie dream is completed! ^^;/ To see some progress for painting the head you can check out this entry - Painting a 3D head on my art blog. :) This entry here is mostly for the completed doll :)
Taiga is glad that her body finally was delivered today :P But as I found out with some online research, her knee and feet are kinda floppy, making it difficult for her to stand on her own ^^; I managed to balance her for a moment tho, and she looks very short and tiny :P I purchased a 2nd hand wig and trimmed the bangs a bit to make it closer to Taiga’s hair style. But my husband felt that her hair colour probably could be a bit darker still?
Borrowed the little tiger from a Taiga figure :3 Taiga also borrowed the armchair made from Matin sensei‘s kit :3 Her clothes and shoes are actually also borrowed since I don’t have time to make new ones yet ^^; I think the top fits Narae, skirt was for a Bee-A body and shoes probably Bee-A as well ^^;
Rawr!
Leaning on the mirror :P
Palm top tiger ^o^
Nyron?
Love her attitude :P
Okay maybe not so much :P
Standing short :P
After all that posing, have to bribe her with something yummy :P
Nyaaaaaaaaaaa! Where’s my spoon?!
If you’re interested in the Mini Dollfie Dream body, there’s a discussion about the “floppy knee issue” going on at my post on figure.fm here, you can find out a bit more information if you read Chibichibiusa’s comments :)
Bonus, Mirin picture ;P
NYAAA! Cute Taiga Dollfie! WANT! No L bust for this little lady xP

Kawaii!!!! Gawd she’s lovely. And I don’t even like the series lol.
Now, I can’t tell, is that a MDD body or an MSD body?

huhu how cute she is and lol @ lightningsabre’s “no L bust for this little lady?” XDD
[Reply]
@yamada, err no. Unless you want her hair put up as big round things… lol.
@chun – You have earned a new achievement XD. ( though frankly, if taiga has animetric eyes or even better, it will be hard to keep away from looking into the eyes :D.
Like this one in the middle :p

Thanks! I feel that she still can be better but I’ll leave it for now ^^;

Wow, she’s incredibly cute! You did an excellent job with the face painting and the hair seems to be a great match ^^
I’m so jealous xD I still haven’t made the plunge with Dollfies…

Thanks! Dollfies are quite a bit of an investment ^^;;; good luck!

wooo!!! She is done! Taiga is amazing ^o^/ The hair color looks pretty good to me and her bangs are very close to the character. Hope to see more of the Tenori Tiger! Great job ^^

Thanks! I am glad you think so :) I think in most of her artwork her eyes (optical ones :P) are bigger ^^; sanding down her lips/nose took a bit longer than expected too ^^; but it was a good experience ^^
[Reply]
woooo!! Taiga-chan XD! How big is mini-dollfie?
now you need to make Ryuji for her so she won’t feel lonely XD!

Oooh she’s about 38 cm tall apparently ^^ And naw no Ryuji for her mwahahhaha :P

She looks so cute! I think this is the only head with painted eyes (rather than eyeholes and installed eyeballs) that I’ve actually really liked. I think the fact that the eyes are sculpted in makes the biggest difference; something about the slight inset and curvature makes her face seem that much more alive compared to a flatter head.
Bummer to hear the floppy knees are MDD-body endemic. :( If I ever decide to get an MDD, though, now I know I need to get those kips too.
And lastly, are those new eyes for Mirin? They look bluer than previous pictures.

Thank you :) I have heard differing input about her lol! I’m hoping I can find other type of material to be a replacement for the kips ^^; And yes! I need to take better pix of her new eyes ^^!
