There's a series of bust statues called "Art Scale Figure". The heads can be removed from the base. When I was attending I-Doll last year, I saw an Re:Zero Emilia head on a Dollfie Dream body. I decided to create my own Art Scale Figure head + DD body combos, except I had a specific rule for myself: The characters needed to have short hair because hard, rigid plastic hair on a large scale doll is hard to handle.
I conducted an introduction to faceups panel during Anime Expo Chibi 2024. After the panel, there was a doll gathering at a nearby hotel.
The only photos in this post not taken at the gathering are the ones of Joker-girl. She was instead present at the doll panel taking place on the following day.
Just a quick post here. If you're reading this and you're new to this blog, thank you for attending my Anime Expo Chibi panel specific to introduction to faceups. :)
I bought a Dollbot body and the L-bust. Due to the body not including a head and the head being unavailable separately, I had to use a non-Dollbot head to pair with the body. I decided to use the Dollce C-type head.
Ginger Tea had a table at a doll convention I attended. I wanted to buy an outfit from there just because I really like Ginger Tea outfits. I bought the pictured maid outfit but I didn't specifically have any plans for who would wear it. To me, it was more about supporting Ginger Tea with my business more than any ideas I had for the outfit itself. The outfit itself is gorgeous and the craftsmanship is top tier.
Some time ago, I came across info concerning the existence of the Obitsu "Rosalie" doll. I of course missed the pre-order and order periods. The doll did subsequently become available secondhand through Mandarake but both the doll and outfit were in poor condition. I then came across the Obitsu semi-custom doll using the same head butt this wasn't good enough for me. Not that it mattered because I couldn't order it anyway. I then came across Obitsu shop's page for the specific blank head I would need for my custom.
