Colette, the Astronaut Girl♥ - tasuke - 12-14-2024 I Had this Doll as a young boy back in the mid/late-80's~very-early-90's or so. Recently, i've wanted to get her back... but not as a Cabbage Patch Kid. i found one for cheap enough... planning to fit the Suit to my 1/4 IMOMODOLL Yuna, and that would've looked just Adorable♥ Unfortunately; there was NO WAY the Spacesuit was about to fit poor Yuna. disappointed, but not Defeated... i made lemonade from lemons; I tracked down a lovely-faced, Porcelain Bisque-headed Precious Moments doll, that, while having a body MUCH too small, her head did end up convincingly fit over onto another soft doll body that i found... one that the Spacesuit fits quite well on, lightly-modified; RE: Colette, the Astronaut Girl♥ - tasuke - 12-21-2024 Found a Body that Works Out for her... care of this Holiday PM Girl~ Successfully Grafted the previous PM doll's (Colette) Porcelain Bisque head onto the body of the Vinyl-headed X-Mas-themed Girl; RE: Colette, the Astronaut Girl♥ - tasuke - 12-30-2024 Gee Wiz; She is Just Too Adorable♥ RE: Colette, the Astronaut Girl♥ - tasuke - 12-31-2024 RE: Colette, the Astronaut Girl♥ - tasuke - 01-11-2025 I Irreversibly shifted Colette's head over onto an "American Girl" Knock-Off "My Life As" 18in. Doll Body... And she Did NOT turn out to my Satisfaction. So, Lesson Learned; DON'T Mess with Perfection. i Located Another ASHTON-DRAKE PM "You Can Always Spot A True Friend" Doll... - this one New in Box even - and Restored Her back to all of her Adorable ♥Little-Miss-Astronaut♥ Glory for Keeps this time~ RE: Colette, the Astronaut Girl♥ - davidd - 01-12-2025 Yes, unfortunately sometimes the "improvements" we attempt do not work out as we had hoped. I have learned from bitter ex-perience that if I intend to tinker with a prized figure, I should probably try to find a duplicate to serve as a back-up copy in case the project goes awry. I'm happy for you that you were able to find another Ashton-Drake doll to "un-do" the mishap. I've been on the lookout for a particular Ashton-Drake figure that I unwisely sold about three years ago. During that time the secondary market price has increased from $80-$100 to over $400. I don't want it back that much! RE: Colette, the Astronaut Girl♥ - tasuke - 01-13-2025 Kinda Sorta~
