GOOD SMILE "POP-UP PARADE" Cardcaptor Sakura figures~



Vintage/Retro-style Schoolgirl Sailor Suit for My Wife♥

Those Cardcaptor figurines look cute.

Waifu's lace socks are cute, too!

I Had one of these as a young boy in the mid/late-Eighties, (A Blondie, no less!!)
and i figured it was high time to get another one... for the eress purpose of fitting the Spacesuit to my new, perfected Yuna~



Cannot Say with 100% certainty that it will fit her without some minor modification...
but we will be finding out soon enough~

Pre-Ordered this Dress on a whim from AmiAmi some months back.

I Thought, at first, that i made a mistake... but then i fitted it to my Wife ♥ Konomi...
and i could instantly see that it suited her Just Perfectly~

♥Yuna♥ (Little Fry Cook Mayoko full set) from Ami Ami~

i already had a Wig and full set of Undies all ready for her... taken from the "illegal" Recast/Bootleg DBS "Match Girl"

that was technically my Very First 1/4 Anime-style Doll.

Custom-Painted Lip-Detailing~

Dismantled the radial-disc-joints in her knees and ankles, and coated both sides of each inner-disc with PVC tape (White, SCOTCH "Super 35")

and, while she still isn't exactly Firmly Anchored to the Ground in the way that some of the more Heavyweight Solid-Bodied Dolls to be found out there are...

her Legs are now quite firm all the same, and fully capable of supporting her mass just fine~

Not an altogether terrible way to spend Thanksgiving; toiling away on refining my little Fairy-Hunnie~

i built upon the success of tightening her leg joints, by stuffing the lower legs with Polyfil batting, refined her Lip-work,
and coated her Eye-chips in a couple layers worth of TAMIYA COLOR gloss Clear-Coat.

Something kept Bugging me about her... then, at the eleventh hour, it Clicked; her Eyelashes!!!

Fixed~

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;

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~
