This doll has such a strange concept!
All this was under her liner. Was she one of the first type 2s?
My certificate has no number on it.
Unless the number is a little label pasted on the outside, in which case I have #1! This was loose in her box. Does anyone else have a photo of her certificate?
Losing body parts right and left (literally).
Don't know if you can see her flattened nose.
Savon is the floppiest Type 2 I’ve ever had, and that’s saying a lot. And her limbs kept falling off. But she’s so funny! And adorable.
She can't stand on her own, even leaning against something. I'm holding her up by her head wrap.
Her stock is a hoot.
I fixed her nose best I could. She has some other scuff marks on her face. I’m not crazy about her spikey eyelashes.
I’m kind of tempted to give her KiraKira chips, a new body, and new eyelashes, but I also kind of want to keep her stock, since she is a limited edition of 300. Anyway, I'm glad I got her!

Congrats on Savon! The poor dear is falling to pieces. She's so pretty though. <3

Oh, that photo with the body parts in the bottom of the box..
I often wonder who comes up with the names for these dolls. Soap. Really?
I think she's very cute though. Love the robe & duckie. I'm sure you will fix up her floppy bits soon.

Well, you know, if you take a normal word and put it in French, it becomes fancy. (Not sure what the French do- put it in Latin, maybe?)
I love how strange and creative some of the early concept Pullip were... Wish we had that now.
Congrats on getting such a rare dol!

Congrats True! Strange but adorable it seems
If she really is number 1 that would be so cool! Uhm, okay, not with the falling apart thing.
I'm curious in what you'd end up with her, stock or not. Either I'd think you'd do great True.

Thanks for all the comments!

You didn't take any photos of her with the lemon slices stuck on her face? She's always reminded me a lot of Arietta. You could always try wrapping Teflon tape around the pegs to help keep the loose parts together. I guess I would probably at least open up her head and see if there is any sign of melting around the neck hole inside and then decide whether to keep her on her stock body or give her a new one.

She already has complexion issues - I didn't want to put those 10-year-old stickers on her face!
I do need to find some teflon tape and do something about her joints. There appears to be glue around her neck hole on the outside. It doesn't look like melt, but maybe it is, I don't know. Her head is SO heavy!

I kind of vote for some fix ups. Aside from the lashes, everything else is reversible. *sigh* I need a yellow girl. I'm so envious. So, so envious (Totally in a good way!).

Ohhhh....Savon is so quirky and cute! I love the bath time concept; the little duck is adorable. Glad you got her so you could put her back together.

In the case of my China China, she didn't look like much was going on from the outside. It was once I took a look inside, that I found out how severe the damage was. Not that I'm trying to scare you. She is a unique and charming Pullip.

She's so cute! I would totally obitsu her, after all I consider a stock doll just the face/wig and eyechips c: So a re-body wouldn't be a bad thing in my opinion ^ ^

That was my guess, thanks.
