Werepuppy's (Attempt At) Doll-A-Day 2019!

Another badass princess with big hair!

[Alliecat]

Oooo, I would be tempted to get her... maybe...

[Elfy]

Moana’s got some attitude there. I bet she’s just put Maui in his place...again.

[werepuppy]

That girl exudes confidence!

She is a very confident lady... in most things. Sailing, she's still getting the hang of. She'll get there! 

Another badass princess with big hair!

The bigger the hair, the most badass you are?

Oooo, I would be tempted to get her... maybe... 

I don't know if this would help your decision or not, but her body is much thicker than the other Disney Store dolls. They actually have done their best to represent who she is properly.

... Well, someone's got to do it. Even if he is voiced by the most electrifying man in all of sports entertainment.

112. Esmeralda Body Swap

Okay, this this was mostly done out of curiosity last summer: I had one of the orange top made to move Barbies lying around and I was curious as to if her skin tone was a good match for Esme here. It's not that her old body (the one to the right) was badly articulated, it's just that it didn't do as much.

So final conclusions?

Actually a pretty good match! There's a bit more orange in Esme's facial skin tone but under most lights it's not that bad, and it largely doesn't seem to be apparent at all when photographed. The made to move body seems very matte in comparison to the old one. 

Also? Much smaller chest, she does not fill out her bodice nearly as much as she once did. 

Still, I'm happy. She'll be able to pull off all her awesome dance moves.

I like the way her costume looks now that it's draped a bit more loosely.

I actually have this Esmeralda! Her knees make the most wonderful screechy sounds...

[Alliecat]

I do like that they made Moana's shape more realistic. MTM is such a nice body! Why can't Groove put Pullips on something like that....!

[Lejays17]

Moana looks great, and I really can’t see the shade difference between the old & new Esmeralda. Good that she’s gong to have a more flexible body for her dance moves though.

Actually? So do I. It looks more comfortable, and more like an actual dress to me somehow than how it had before.

Oh so it wasn't just mine! I don't have her white dress anymore - lost it over the years - but I still think this Esmeralda has one of the loveliest faces.

It's a nice thing to have done. I have seen some people put Pullips on MTM bodies, it seems to work quite well - the curvy one seems more proportionate with the Pullip head somehow.

The difference is really more noticable in person - her face is a bit more orange. I mean, that could also just be the age of it... I do like her having the most poseable body. I really should take pictures to show off how better it is.

113. Cherry Poppins

From RaevynDesigns found on Etsy. Cherry is an OOAK made from a rescued BeGoth Doll. She was actually a birthday gift a few years ago from my parents. I like to say she's the niece of the most infamous nanny, and is being trained to follow in her footsteps as one of the great cosmic helpers.

[neon_jellyfish]

The face-up is marvellous!

Or perhaps she's the trainer of the aforementioned "cosmic helper." As I mentioned in a response to an earlier post, there's a dark undercurrent running through much of the original Disney movie version.

This is a very cool and very creative custom BeGoth figure! She must be one of the favorites among your collection, both because she was a special gift and because she's awesome.

[Lejays17]

She's lovely. And the story behind her as well

It's very beautiful, yes. One of the things that draws your eye.

She is indeed one of the favourites! And you make a very good point. Due to the time I got her, I like to say she's the niece and add she went to Ever After High - till she left because it doesn't exactly help with the whole nanny job. 

She's lovely.  And the story behind her as well

Thank you!

114. I'm That Kid's Home Room Teacher

When I first made her, she was a long awaited custom. Yamaguchi Kumiko, otherwise known as Yankumi, from the manga/anime/jdrama "Gokusen". One of my favourite ladies of manga, and I'm glad to have this representation of her. 

... Now how to do I make a Shin...?

[davidd]

She definitely looks teacher-ly.

"a Shin"

A Shin would be happy to hear that, I'm sure! Are you going to get her glasses?
