My first Coroporo Doll

I ordered a Coroporo doll kit for my self as an Christmas present. (Yes I'm so selfish, present for myself! 8D)

If you aren't familiar with these dolls, you can find them here: https://sites.google.com/site/coroporodolls/
Also there is group for them in flickr, check that out too! :)

Since my doll was a kit, it meant that I had to build it from pieces. And that was a 4 hours project for me! xD I did a simple face up in that time too, but still. There were soooo tiny screws, and you had to cut 1mm pieces from 1mm diameter silicone tube, and put those pieces to the screws. And all kinds of fun like that! :D My bf helped me with one hand and after that he said good luck for the next week. x) Thought he came back to help me to build the head mechanism. Wich was pain because the nuts didn't stay in place with the super glue I had. :D

Firts I thought that I wouldn't need the head mechanism  since I was going to give her different eyes than the glass balls that the dolls come with. But the head mechanism attaches the body to the head too! xD Not only hold eyes. Sooo I had to build it too.

Contents of the package opened, and some tools.

Figuring out what part goes where. :D
And tried on the acrylic animetic eyes! Might need one size smaller. o_O'

After few hours I had the body done. :'D
It was quite simple to build, but the pieces were so small!
I kept dropping the screws and silicone tube pieces. x)

While waiting for the glue in the head mechanism nuts to dry,
I made a quick simple face up for her.

After two persons one hour fight with the head mechanism,
the doll is done. xD

Comparison with Pukifee. Coroporo has bigger head and is thinner. :D
Oh Pukifee you so chubby. u___u
My bf said that in comparison Coroporo looks like an alien.
But I think she is cute! u___u

I don't think I'm going to take her head of in any time soon. xD I'd like to have a better face up for her, maybe to send her for someone more talented to paint, but I'm afraid to take the head of ever again. xD If I would have been smart I'd have taken a pic of the insides of the head, but I forgot. Pics were taken by phone anyway, so not too pretty. :D

But despite the building process, I love her! She is very cute and just what I waited for. :D
Now she needs clothes! At the moment she is wearing one Pukipuki dress I have knit, but it's a bit short. x)
