Obitsufying!

Funny things those Dals. I put my new dolly apart to switch her eyechips and change her into Obitsu body. It was a bit scary, since it was my first time doing anything with Dal. I was able to do it anyway, so it wasn't too complicated. :)

My Dal Coco victim on the left, new body on the right.
New Coolcat eyechips on top right. :3

Dewigged!
It wasn't too easy, those wigs are glued on with some _very_ good glue.

Huge glueblop on the back side! Took of the skrews from head.

Scary eyemech. D:< Pullips eyemech is more complicated thought.
And luckily I didn't have to touch to it too much.

Fake eyelids! 8D

Eyes when old chips are taken out.

New chips in! Looks much better. :)

And with her new Obitsu body and eyes on!

Added wig and clothes and went out for pics.

I decided to name her Yanagi, with nickname Nagi. :)
Yanagi means willow tree in Japanese, as far as I know.
Did or not, I think it is pretty name anyway. :3

Dall Coco arrived :)

Supriseee! :O

My Dal Coco arrived yesterday. When I got the arrival note from post office I thought it was the Gryffindor tie I ordered some time ago, because the note was labellet "big envelope". I thought that okaa I will pick the tie up from post office before taking my train to Helsinki.

Well, that was a mistake, because from post office I got this:

Clearly not an "big envelope", what do they think at the post office?!? I thought tha tI can easily carry that tie with me when I go to Helsinki, but not this... This didn't fit in my bag so I had to carry it in my hands. xD But it is my Dal! Dal! So of course I was exited even thought it wasn't the tie like I believed.

Thihihii I had to see inside the box in the train. :3

Seacupcake clothes pic at the back side of the box!

oka I got rid of the brown box at the railway station
and carried it with me like this instead.

Cutie. :3 Glorry liked it too when I met her.
Maybe she will get Pullips too. 8D

I took the doll out of the box at Glorry's place.

B-Day party! Clearly. Chocolate cake and Coke. Yay.

Today's project will be chancing her into Obitsu body and switching the new eyechips in. Wish me luck, I have never do that!
Also, she heeds a name! DD:

Items waiting for the Dal

I received my Mollamania order today~ 

So now I have Obitsu body and new eyechips waiting for my Dal Coco to arrive.

I'm very happy about the color of the chips that I chose. The color is more pretty IRL than in pictures. They are Coolcat eyechips with two colors in them, dark slate blue and deep sea blue. I think that eyes with two shades of color look a bit more realistic than eyes with just only one shade.

The SBH Obitsu body is really pretty, which is the main reason why I chose it over the hard bust body. But after handling it for a while and trying posing it I started to consider ordering the hard bust body too. I knew that they are not the same what comes to posing, but still I wanted to go with the SBH body. The tummy of the SBH body isn't too pretty when bending the body. You don't even need to bend it much for the tummy to kind of slob. It slobs a bit even in basic poses like sitting. :p 

When in basic sitting position, the body slumbs a bit from the sides.
Not bad, and might not be so visible with clothes on.

From side it almost looks like the doll is pregnant. x)

If you bend a bit more forward... Well, it looks like this.
The body can't keep that position by itself anyway,
it bounces back to the straight position.

  I don't know yet how this body behaves with the huge head of Dal or Pullip, but from the pics that I have seen from other people it can at least do some basic standing and sitting without falling. I have heard that the hard bust body is a bit floppy from the joints with the heavy Pullip head, but I think that this one is too.

Well, we'll see. I might order the hard bust body to and make a good comparison with the bodies. Then I'll decide which body type I prefer using. I might stick with this SBH body because it is pretty, and then just avoid doing any bending poses. :D

Also I have made few crochet hats for the newcomer. Shia is kindly posing with one of them, even thought the hat is too big for her. In addition to this bunny hat I have a bear hat and Domo-kun hat, but they are still missing some of the details so no pics of those yet. :)

I hope that this fits Dal better than Dollzone BB. :)

Peekaboo!

Dal Coco! And pics of Matoko.

I ordered Dal Coco this morning. I found it from eBay. I dunno is that rare to find or not, but at least I haven't seen too many around. Pullistyle haven't had them available for all the time I have been following that site. I don't wonder why, the stock outfit of Coco's is so weird... But I hope that the girl under there is cute anyway. :3 Also I placed an order for Obitsu body for the Dal. I'm not too fond of the bodies of Pullip dolls, so I have been planning to go with Obitsu from the beginning. SBH bodies are quite pretty, and pose better according to what I have read. Maybe I can take comparison pics when I have the doll and the body.


The Obitsu body I got was with medium bust instead of the small bust that I originally planned. There was no small busts in white skin when I was browsing eBay, and no luck from Mollamania (Finnish dealer) either. :( So I ended up with M bust. I hope it is not too bad. I ordered it from Mollamania, and also included blue eyechips to my order. They are for the Coco too, I'm not too fond of the stock chips of Coco's. I just hope that I don't ruin it's eyes when trying to change the chips. :O


And some Matoko pics from our summer cottage trip, as promised in my previous entry. :3

Matoko! Setting out for a trip!
With his favorite froggy hat and weird orange bag...

Trip to the lake!

 

Shoes alone on the rock! Where did Matoko go?

He seems to be testing the water. Maybe he is going to swim?

Thank you for visiting our blog!

I'll tell you a secret... After that last pic, Matoko fell with his face down to the water... All his clothes got wet. :F I knew that would happen, it's always like that. With no exceptions when I have been taking pics with water, the doll has gotten more wet than planned!

Crochet hats :3

Matoko's new froggy hat!

 I have been on a good crocheting mood lately. :3 I have wanted to make a proper frog hat for Matoko for a while now, and finally I got it done. 8) I'd like to go for a dinosaur hat too, but I don't have enough of that green yarn anymore. It was Novita's Rose mohair and I only had one ball of it. Colors of Rose mohair seem to be seasonal, since I can't find that same color anymore from anywhere. That's sad really, because I love working with Rose mohair, it is so soft and bit fluffy and it is easy to work with my favorite size of crochet hook. And it looks good on dolly sized things. :)

Note to self: buy few balls if you find color of Rose mohair that you really like.

I managed to get the measurements needed for Dal sized hats from Finnish Pullip forums. (Thank you bang!) I'm looking forward to make a pile of funny hats for my first Dal. I'll make some before I get the doll so she will have something of her own when she comes. I need to buy brown yarn, my Dal needs a Domo-kun hat...

I'm almost sure now that my first Dal will be Coco. I'll change the stock eye chips for some prettier ones, but I want to stick with the blue color. I might order Ixtee chips from eBay, they have some rally pretty shades of blue. Also I'll get an Obitsu body for her, because I don't like those skrews showing on the back of Dal body.

I'll be able to order Coco from my next pay, so I'll place the order after 15th. :)
I have no idea yet what my Dal's name will be, but her character is quite clear!

I'll be out of town for the next week, we are going to spend some time at summer cottage! So I will be without internet connection. See you at 17th again!
I'll order Dal Coco then too when I come home, can't wait! :3

Leo got a new hat too! It is... a monster? o__o
