For my second faceup of 2023, I completed a modded SWS DDH-07 head. I’d original started modding this head last fall, to test out UV-cure resin additive mods, but didn’t get a chance to finish until the weather improved this month. The DDH-07 sculpt was never one of my favorites, but somehow I’ve ended up…
It’s been a couple months since I last picked up a new doll, and though I was trying to hold out for Kaito’s arrival I didn’t make it. I’m lucky that the newly announced Ciel and Shin Sato DDs didn’t catch my eye because this lovely Mash Kyrielight has just arrived and stolen away my…
Once again, I’ve welcomed a floating head into my collection. I’ve had my eye on Ribbon for a while, but didn’t really want another DDP body and figured it’d be difficult to rehome. I was hoping that repainting my SQ Lab Miyuki would scratch the itch, but then when I saw a second-hand Ribbon head…
~ Boys are back in town ~ Once again Volks International created an online event for D’Coords, and this time I was lucky enough to bring home a DDH-26 boy. He’s using the DDB body in SWS, and has the M01 style faceup with red eyes and a shaggy grey wig. Like my previous online…
~ A long-delayed rescue project ~ My final faceup from the fall batch is this dreamy Syo (Sho?). She’s an older Volks sculpt that I picked up with vague intentions a while back. I knew she was yellowed, but I didn’t realize the previous owner had done a rough job trying to sand off the…
Next up in my fall faceup batch is SQ Lab Miyuki! She’s an older resin head that I purchased directly from SQ Lab when they were selling heads and accessories on their website. SQ Lab heads were made to match DD or SD skin tones, and they also released anime-style SD and Yo-SD sized…
Rounding out the latest batch of faceups is this custom modded DDH-10 gal. Lately I’ve seen a lot of great modded DDH-10 customs, and since I had an extra head floating around I decided to give it a shot. I didn’t have a clear plan in mind at first, just shaving down the mouth until…
The next subject from this round of faceups is 2B, of Nier Automata fame. Her default faceup isn’t bad but the two-toned matte lips were starting to bug me and I thought she had potential to get revamped into something a bit more special. 2B before and after It’s tricky finding the right…
