bun with tails in front is great, really improves her silhouette
Tumblr media
Washed, conditioned and brushed out the tangles in her hair. Still not up to the task of curling hair right now so here's a quick and easy solution.

Bun. Bun with tail ends in front.
It's good enough for now. XD

Limhwa Human has been in the mail for over a week now. I wouldn't usually mind except
1. I paid a PREMIUM for shipping (unconvinced the seller weighed right, not happy there)
2. the doll is so rare put her IN MY HAND
So I dunno what is taking so freaking long but STOP.
It's been 100° and I'm on a period and was outside way too much yesterday trying to work on the car which suddenly had several lights come on the dash so I'm not at my best! I would be less grumpy if the work had yielded a single result but nope, gonna have to take it in and pay $$$. Again. Literally had it in three months ago to the tune of $6k and I'm really close to drawing the line here on this only 10yr old vehicle. My ancient Toyota would never have done this to me. (If it had my life would possibly have taken a different trajectory; I often think we only got this far because our cars miraculously held up for decades. I could never have afforded this back then.)

I'm not sure this boy will keep this faceup, as the story I had in mind for him kind of fell through. Still I like him a lot, and I'm so happy to finally have my own Unoa boy💖

you picked a perfect setting for her, and what a lucky find congrats
(even if living where I do has me Anxiously Scrutinizing photos like this for poison ivy)

Upside of making drafts of doll posts: it's done and ready when I need it
Downside: in my brain it registers as a completed task and I never check again
This has been in drafts since may, oops. And this girl is a DoD Pitt elf, a very lucky find at a doll convention. It was love at first sight when I saw her, and finding out she was from a company that shaped my interest in bjd but went down before I could buy from them was only an added bonus.
She's wearing all her fullset as it reached me, except for the wig as her original one is... Of questionable quality

holy shit! so much work! you're almost there and it looks stunning!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hand for scale again 😅
I finished the fill work, but my mom said I should highlight the eyes, and honestly I got to agree
Tumblr media
I added a few darker stitches and line stitches instead of filling stiches and I think despite the pretty subtle effect it looks much better
Tumblr media
Soooo close! Just the border now 😃 (and ironing)

You're so welcome, I'm so happy she arrived in good shape ♥️
The difference between the real doll hair and the promo photos is shocking to me, I sure wish they had actually curled her hair 😤 I hope you can fix it the way you want it.
The romper, the skirt cage, all the accessories are so cool 😍 I enjoyed living vicariously through your box opening 😂
Cupid Asteria
The wonderful @queenofsquids gifted me this Monster High G3 Cupid! Thank you so much! ♥
I won't go into too much details since I'm sure there are others out there who've done full reviews on her.
Tumblr media
(ugh tumblr compression why?)
Some close ups:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The skirt and sleeves are starting to fray in some areas so I'll do my best to heat seal the edges. I love the cage skirt, but I also feel it's a tad too big? It's currently a bit warped so I'll heat it up to see if I can even it out.
I think the printed pattern on the romper is very cute! The top seems to be upside down and I don't know if that's intentional or not:
Tumblr media
Lower legs are translucent! I think its interesting to see the G1 bone wing design is on her earrings:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Speaking of wings.

They clip into the back and are very ornate.
Accessories:

(the obligatory spiderwebs XD)
And now, hair:
Tumblr media
Very loose slightly tangled curls. Oh, Mattel. Will definitely have to wash, condition, and recurl the hair. I want tight curls darn it. Hr bangs are nice, Very gelled, but I don't mind.
All in all, I think she's a cutie! This is my first G3 doll and I gotta say that I really like the body. Forgot these dolls have torso joints (nice) but no doll stands (i miss you).
I'm not entirely sure what I want to do in terms of detailing her. I don't want to repaint or redo anything, i just want to work with what's available. I'm still not ready to get back into "full custom mode" but detailing shoes? I think I can do that.
Thank you so much again, queenofsuids! I love her! :D

Can you show a larger version of the doll in your profile pic? And tell us where you got it? It's really interesting
Aw thanks for your interest. She's my handmade Super Sculpey rat head on a Resinsoul Mi body with a custom torso done in house by RS (smaller chest and shorter stomach part) as well as different arms and Unoa Zero hands (EDIT: As Elizabethplaid reminded me, Ratleigh used to be on a Doll Chateau body, at times with extra wrist/ankle joints for max creature feel -- the jointed finger hands were that body before I swapped to the Resinsoul)
The tag for her is Ratleigh if you want to see more. Really old posts are probably tagged something like custom rat head or rat doll (sorry it's been ... decades)

Gave this cheap little doll I thrifted the slightest glow up.
I removed the red line between her lips and gave her brown mouth corner dots.

I'm so happy to see them, and especially side by side, they're such a neat pair. I am definitely keeping my eyes open for an old Narae girl, if I ever find a bargain.
Yes the Limhwa french resin is so bad. :< But it takes dye so good!
Tumblr media
My poor neglected BJDs. I don't even remember where I've put Limhwa's eyes :(
Both Narae and Limhwa Human's head are french resin, but look at that colour difference! Narae aged beautifully and Limhwa turned into butter xD

the gameplay strategy arrows are killing me 🤣
Tumblr media
Gonna use a spare body i have to fix the g1 Cleo's neck joint.
Im also pondering giving this bratz some actual feet... but like? I feel that its a lil cursed? Like, is it morally legal having a bratz without their wierd nubs??? Much to ponder! Its a philosofical exercise trully 🤔 (im joking btw)
I'll probably use the bratz body for a future hybrid anyway, so the feet dont really matter lol
