Custom faceups, mods, and the like
The past couple weeks I’ve been working on another batch of faceups, and this time first to the finish line is Alna! Well, 2B is also done but I’m waffling on the best eyes for her, and she’ll get her own update anyway. Alna is from Volks’ original character line ‘Akihabara Girls’ and has…
Rounding out my latest batch of faceups, Yukiho Hagiwara! Yukiho is another sculpt that was on my wishlist for ages. Back when she was originally released, DD lotteries were super competitive and I missed out on the chance to get her for a reasonable price. I kept my eye out for an affordable option, and…
As mentioned in my DDH-24 arrival post, my plan for the MDD one-piece body involved a custom DDH-27 head. And, now that custom head is complete!

I squeezed in one last faceup before the start of the rainy season here! I was looking to clear out some floating heads that hadn’t seen much sunlight lately, and found this DDH-01 modded head that I did way back in 2012. I felt like the faceup didn’t live up to my current standards, and…
Finishing up a last few sunny weather faceups, I just completed this custom DDH-14 girl. She wasn’t originally part of my planned slate of faceups, but I impulse purchased her floating head and felt immediately compelled to repaint it. As you can see from the Before photo, she had a modified factory faceup that was…
ShoushouDoll Niko arrived! And immediately got a faceup :D ShoushouDoll is a China-based BJD artist who sells their work through Taobao and a couple other representatives such as BJDivas. I picked Niko up second-hand since I missed the original order window. As soon as Niko arrived I hurried to give her a faceup since…
