A friend and I placed a small order for wigs and a couple items which we were curious about, the order arrived quickly and safely in about 6 working days (not counting weekends). The box is packed with some crumpled newspaper as padding which was removed before the photo below.
This time Taiga makes a quick trip down town with us ^^;
Before I left the house I realise that Taiga can wear the skirt I made for the bigger dollfie bodies due to the elastic waist band ^^
Brought Taiga to work yesterday ^o^
I was almost not going to, but the weather was spectacular compared to the last 2 days of non stop rain.
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 :)
…for Danny Choo’s lovely Dollfie Dream musumes – Saber and Aoi chan really ^^; As you can see, final product is slightly different from the original finalised sketch, but thankfully Danny approves! Just mailed it out today, but got green light to post about this ^o^!
It’s Daisy and Clover! Her current “mommy” dropped her off as a very wonderful surprise last weekend :) I am so happy to have her visit ^O^ They visited in a “capsule box” ;P First look at her again after such a long time! I am bursting with happiness!
I have to make her some new clothes and take her out for pictures when I have time ^^;;;; been too busy this year =_=;
Past related entries on Daisy and Clover here.
I came across a friend’s flickr photo and realised that the obitsu body has a new type of body, and I liked what I saw, so I bought a couple off ebay to sample. ^^
After some thinking, I decided Hagu (my Honey and Clover “fan art” doll) would be the new recipient of the new 25 cm body ^^! Just realised that her blush had faded a bit over time (oops) hope to find time to reapply soon ^^
So here are some comparison pix of the new and old body:
The new body has soft bust and torso, the latter I didn’t know about so it was a surprise. My only concern with soft rubber parts is sometime they tend get stained by dark clothing easier. But that hasn’t happen yet — I rarely put dark clothing on my dolls.
My older obitsu body came with a bald head, some neck parts which I never use, and some spare hands, the new body comes with a couple neck parts and a few hands as well. I think the older type of body these days do not come with the head anymore — from my most recent search on ebay.
Different elbow joints – the new joint is easier to bend for elbows, but for knee it’s a bit harder to bend to desired positions.
Front of knee joints
Side of knee joints – I noticed that the older body has more visible seamlines compared to the new one.
Similar pose ^^
Hopefully this entry is for some help for people who are considering to get obitsu body for their dolls. Thanks for reading!
