Late I know!

Gonna post her new look once I received her new wig! >w<

Boring eye chips?

Got boring eye chips you want to get rid off or want to exchange for something else?
Well I have a solution just for you! (lol is this a commercial?)  ⊙ω⊙

～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～
Tutorial:
Materials needed:
-White acrylic or any color of acrylic you want to use.
-Tooth pick.
-A clean cloth
～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～☆～


Steps:
1.) Open your doll's head carefully! (note: Don't loose the screws!)
Tutorial:Head opening, eye mech removal

2.) Either remove the eye chips or you can work with it while its still attached to the eye mech.

3.) Use the tooth pick and dump it on your acrylic paint.

4.) Design the eye chips. If you make a tiny mistake leave it be and let it dry a little then use the clean side of the tooth pick and use it like an eraser. Or if you made a whole lot of mistakes, use the clean cloth to wipe it, then try again. (The acrylic is not permanent and its easy to remove from the eye chips)
Warning: Avoid smearing some acrylic paint on your pullip's head! You will need to sand it off if do!

5.) After plenty of mistakes now you have a finish product! You can always change the design once you get bored from its looks.

Sleep eyes!

Since Fridart is a pullip Prunella who was released on the year of 2007, she can only wink.
Now the newer version of the Pullip can now actually hold there eyes in place while its closed, thus the sleepy eyes are born!

Of course the older pullip dolls would love to have a wink of sleep if they can! Duh!
I mean imagine yourself not able to close your eyes and able to sleep! Scary right! ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ

So Fridart here would love to have those sleepy eyes modification....thus a surgery is needed!
Tutorial: Sleepy Eyes!

Be careful!
Or you might end up like me with a bloody finger! ヽ(´□｀。)ﾉ

Now Fridart, only needed some thicker eye lashes and she could pull off the sleepy eyes perfectly! (⌒.−)＝★

Neck Melt!

Found out about this problem here: Neck Melt!

I feared this one very much since, I knew Fridart would come with an SBH obitsu body.
This particular obitsu body has some kind of content in its neck that can melt a pullip's head!
Oh noes! Σ(ﾟДﾟ|||)
I mean seriously! ヽ（゜ロ゜；）ノ
Oh well.....I guess no doll is perfect. Even the great almighty obitsu has some "issues".(；¬д¬) 

When Fridart arrived, I knew I would have to expect some melting issues with her....and alas, I was indeed correct. (ノдヽ) 

Of course I needed to prevent the obitsu body from further damaging my $100+ worth of doll....that I work so hard for.
I used this Tutorial:  Solve melting neck part!

Its not that hard! You only have to change the teflon tape when you needed to.....I suggest, checking the tape once a month.

Terrified at opening your doll's head!?

Of course! I am!
I mean....I did paid a lot for Fridart!
Pullips don't come cheap!

So where did I find the courage to open up her head an deflop her obitsu body?
Easy~!
I practiced!
Before, I bought Fridart, I already had some practice for future use.....And hey, I did managed to use my new found skills! But back then I didn't know that I could mange to afford a Pullip.....
I thought I would end up buying a fake one..... (」ﾟヘﾟ)」

Like the fake Blythe doll that I bought. When I first saw it, I thought it was a "chubby" Pullip doll.
To make sure, I researched the name Basaak Doll and found out that this doll was a fake clone of the Blythe dolls. (Yeah....I found out, about Pullip dolls first before there ancestor, the Blythe dolls)
I bought the Basaak Doll for $12 (cheap than the original right?)
And since I bought it for customizing purposes, I started exploring her and watching tutorials on how to customize Blythe dolls.
I end up, changing her body with Licca doll (Licca was more expensive than the Basaak doll so technically the body is much more expensive than the head..WTH?) (〜￣△￣)〜 
Sanding her face.....
Carving her eyebrows, nose holes and cat lips...
I never got the chance to buy her a new wig or new eye chips because....they are way expensive for a cheap doll head......so yeah.....

Moral of this blog post is to practice first with cheaper dolls before doing it to the actual thing!
You might regret it!

On the side note...I WON'T be customizing Fridart...

Why?

Because I am already head over heels in love with her face up....so why bother? ( ・◇・)？

I'm just planing on giving her new eye chips, new wigs and the sleepy eyes modification!

So look forward to her changes!

OTL I have to save money first to buy her a new wigs and eye chips...(シ_ _)シ

Hair and Body

When Fridart arrived her original hair/wig was sooo frizzy and dirty.... Its probably because the doll was old.
I immediately soaked it on tepid water and applied some conditioner to soften its texture.
While still soaked with conditioner I kept brushing it with a large toothed comb to detangle the wig.
Once the wig is untangled, I  left the hair on the tepid water for a couple of minutes to soften it more.
I followed this  Tutorial: Pullip Hair Care

Now her original wig is not so frizzy and sticky anymore! It kinda soften and smoothed a little but the ends of her hair is too frizzy beyond repair....so yeah....my Fridart desperately needs a new wig.
The previous owner did kindly gave me an extra wig, but I do think red isn't Fridart's color...mint, blue and green are very suited for her especially for her face up!

Fridart is standing strong due to the foams in her body. xP
She has magnets on her feet that is why she can stand very well on flat metal surfaces.

Yeah...I'm still amateur when it comes to photography. lol

Floppy Obitsu

      When Fridart, arrived she was soooo floppy! (；￣Д￣） Did I mentioned she came with an obitsu body and not the type3 body?
Can't blame her thou, because obitsu bodies wasn't created for big headed dolls, like pullip.
But because obistu bodies are like the coolest body ever when it comes to poseablity, I soooo wanted one, but sadly they aren't that easy to come by here in my country....so when I saw this particular Prunella with an obitsu body along with her....I couldn't help but give in to my urges to buy my first ever pullip!

       Prunella is the first pullip doll that I saw on the net and is the one who introduced me to the world of Pullip dolls! So it is only fitting for her to be my first pullip!

     Now back to our dilemma...
Her obitsu body is an SBH Medium bust (really thats medium? Well apparently it is on Japan. lol), white skin tone(the lightest one to match Prunella's skin tone).

So because her obitsu body is so floppy, I just had to have to deflop her so she could at least stand on her own without support! 

Of course I'm not that well experience in doll customization, so I needed so great tutorials to do so!

Here are the following links to deflop you obitsu bodies! Hope this helps!
