Dolly Market Forum

my first actual Japanese market Character doll, branching out from the U.S. market TOYNAMI Tenchi Muyo! dolls
that started me out on the character doll collection/customization hobby back around 2001.

i found Shaorin here, a late-90's TSUKUDA HOBBY 1/5-ish girl from the late-90's Anime/Manga series Mamotte Shugogetten, on the BAY for a great price back in 2008.
i had this lovely, highly modified Victorian dress left over from early on in my TOYNAMI Tenchi days, -robbed from a 1/6-ish scaled porcelain display doll-
and i further modified/re-tailored it to fit Shaorin here.

she of course has full Victorian undergarments, -scratch-handmade by me- all except for a Corset, anyway;

Shaorin's original form. first, as she had come to me in 2008,
and then, extensively modified/improved by me, back around 2018, complete, with handmade undies;

She has a very endearing face

Superb upgrade over the original costume! Beautiful detail additions.

But... is this her final form???
