Redressing Chibi Lipu!!

I decided to redress Chibi Lipu...

 Chibi Lipu looks so much better in this cute Mamachapp fashion!! Meant for the 11cm Obitsu bods! She is such a cutie!!

 Her boots are from a vintage Remco Heidi doll fashion!

Then, I wanted to take a photo of my modded Arnval with Mirai...

 She's playing with her tiny Dollfie Dream doll!!

New Vintage Macoto Memo Found and Inside a Retro Girl's Rm!

I received in Saturdays mail, a very small packet that actually fit inside my PO box. Yay! At least this time I didn't have to drive all the way uptown to pick it up!

 Gorgeous vintage Macoto Takahashi "Swan Lake" inspired art mini memo pad. I found it via a dear friends shop online. Sadly, it is missing the pencil attached to it, but I'm sure I could find a replacement later on...

 Above, inside similar artwork as the front. It is very rare to find Macoto items like these, and to find them outside of Yahoo Japan is even nicer. Generally, if you find them thru YJA, the auctions end in a bidding frenzy and costing the highest bidder a lot of moolah! Eek!

Backside, Ribon company logo. This memo is a welcome addition to my collection and still lovely considering there are some soiled areas.

Then, I decided to do a retro girl bedroom shoot! Below, using my Tomy Little Rooms! Accessories include, Glico, Rement, Tutti case, minix2 bed, minimodernista pillows, and Pico guitar.

 Thank you for looking! ~ ggsdolls

Making Sara's Dolls...

Sara's been wanting me to, "Make her dolls", as she calls it. They are characters from this cute anime short that Tabytha found thru youtube last year! I will add a peek of the video below, so you can watch it, if you haven't already?!

These characters are from "little heart". So, without delay, I purchased some Obitsu bodies via Junkyspot here! I received them in less than a week and of course, Sara couldn't wait for me to start on them!! Below, 21cm obitsu body in Flesh and White Skin tones, along with Brunette White skin head, and Blonde Flesh skin bod, and one set of eye decals.

 So, while she was at school, I worked on them Thursday. I had some eye decals already, but I did get a set I thought would look nice on the boy. It can be easy to place eye decals on, or it can be hard, depending on your patience...

I didn't take any photo of the process along the way, but if you would like to know how its done there's also a great tutorial here by Asenva!

 Sadly, I tried using the larger decals for the boy's eyes, but it got messed up, so I had to get a smaller pair. Ugh! Yes, I took the larger one's off with water, then put the small one on.  Like I mentioned you have to have patience to do this! I added blush, but as you can see I didn't paint in any lips... I'm terrible at that! They were sorta done above. Sorry for the nude photo of them! When the girls got home, Tabytha cut and styled the boys hair below, a lot better than I did!! She said he still looked like a girl! So, I allowed her to work her magic! LOL

 Above, here they are dressed, in Azone PNXS clothing, top on the boy and dress on the girl. The above photo, after Sara had already started playing with them, their eyebrows have already started to get messed up, ugh! That's doll play with a 7 yr. old!!

It was fun to try and see if I could do it! I must admit, knowing you can create something close to characters you love, is a nice idea and fun to do as well! So, go on, make your own characters come to life!!

Finally, My very own Herman Pecker Big Eyed Doll!

I'm not sure of her original name? Sadly, her tag is marked and I can't make out what her name would have been? Still, I've been trying to get a doll like her for quite some time! So, when I did my usual searches thru etsy... Whala! There she was!! This shop here, had her! Awesome service too!

 She arrived to me fast and safely. She comes wearing her original fashion, with jet black hair and her tag as seen above.

 Here she is above, all cleaned up! I love her face. She is very nice and mint too!

 Who can resist her sweet face and those eyes!! She will live with my other precious vintage dollies!


Then, I decided to get some Obitsu bodies for a project I am working on for Sara, more on that soon! I also, bought this 11cm white skin Obitsu bod for Lipu! I wanted to see if I could make her in Chibi-style!? Here she is below...

 Wearing the special edition pink Azone dress, an apron from another Pico neemo fashion, and boots from vintage Heidi by Remco.

I had to take off the screw and knob at her neck to fit Lipu's head on. The body was nice and tight, no loose joints here! Yippee! She is cute. I will see if I like her in Chibi form?!

Busou Shinki Modded!

I've been wanting to create a similar character to my friend Wes' gal, his blog here! His lovely Arnval Character from Busou shinki is the cutest! I've often drooled over his photos!

Recently, he wrote me and told me where he got his ponytails from for his gal. He's also change his gal's look to shorter ponytails, which is all good. I still love his Arnval and her look!

If you are not familiar with Konami's Busou Shinki's here's some past posts about mine!

Here's why I got the Gundam figure! She was a great sacrifice and for a good cause too! My Arnval Mk.2 Tempesta, below, is now dreamy, like Wes' gal! Whoo hoo! I bought my Arnval head via Yahoo Japan, sold as just a head part. Sadly, I am missing her normal faceplate... but one day I will get it?!

 I actually pulled off the ponytails from the Gundam figure. The plastic hair ties, just fell off, which was okay, because I won't need them.  Then, I had to use the Dremel and make a hole into the ponytails, and use a dowel of plastic to glue in to the ponytails. That way they could fit into the holes I made on Arnval's head plate. After that, I was able to glue the ponytails into place. Sorry no before or after photos. I was in the moment!! LOL

Arnval Tempesta above after placing her headplate and faceplate back on. I did have to repaint all hair parts in order to match the ponytails.

Redressed below and so cute too!

She is wearing an Azone Pico Neemo dress, stockings and Maryjane shoes from Obitsu.

In my cabinet above, with all my other anime characters! She will have more photo shoots to come!

More Yahoo Japan Goodies!

Sadly, we are preparing for a Typhoon, so at least some good came out of it. I received a box from Yahoo Japan for the shop!!

 A small packet, that includes Fueki-kun glue containers in original design and pink, and a Lot of Petier Die-cast Furniture.

 I've always wanted these containers! Finally, I found the original design container above. It's a smaller version, but I don't mind! This kawaii character is called, "Fueki-kun". Children's glue paste, generally, used in Kindergarten classes, for its safe-ness as a product. I read that later on the company also made, facial creams, and soaps. There are other colors available and in a stick glue paste version as well.

 This pink Fueki is larger and below both containers together! I will used them to hold kawaii things!

 Fueki is in my kawaii cabinet below! Meeting all his new friends!

A Lot of 6 Petier Takatoku die-cast furniture pieces. I wanted the lot for the sofa and chair! I have most of the pieces in my collection with the exception of those pieces...

 I will add the rest of the furniture into my shop soon!

Then, I also received this cute Cup o Fuchiko style gals!! PUTITTO Series - Kantai Collection -Kan Colle- 8Pack BOX from Amiami!!

I, Taby and Sara will keep only one and the rest will be added to my For Sale page!! I did open all the boxes, but kept the girls in their plastic wrapping to take pics of them. Each one will come with its original box.

There are 6 different kinds and two sets that are the same kind. My fave below, Shimakaze #5!!

 The front of the box...

 The one's available are Rensouhou-chan #1, Akagi #2,  Lemon and Kaga #3, and Kongo #4.

As for the storm it is suppose to hit us late Sunday or early Monday. So far, we are preparing for it and not much else to do, but patiently wait it out and hope for the best! Hope you all are having an awesome weekend?!
