Pullip invasion!

I was really excited about the March Neo Blythe release, then I saw her.  She is Vanilla with long hair.  I was hoping for more.  Instead of possibly going over my dolly budget, I bought 2 Pullips and 2 more Icy dolls.

R requested a Mavis doll (Hotel Transylvania), so I purchased the Pupil Icy. Mavis and Icy dolls have a lot of similarities, including face shape and thin lips.  Pupil's dark hair and bangs are great. I either will do a scalp swap between the witch and pupil or just paint over the lips.  It appears Mavis's lips are black not purple.  I'm planning on knitting her a dress and buy some leggings and shoes.

I bought Death Note for myself.

I have fought off the desire to buy a Pullip for a long time.  I don't like listing in my Etsy shop stuff like it fits Blythe, Pullip, Icy, etc. without really knowing if the item fits the dolls listed.  It probably would, but I don't know that for sure.  This way I will know. It only took one doll to know this information, but she didn't want to be lonely.  Actually, I do have a reason.  I picked out Shan-ria.  She is so gorgeous as is and I wanted a customizing project.  I found Stica (she is a French maid) used on Ebay for a good price.  She is cute, but re-doable.

I'm hoping that most of my Blythe items fit Pullip already.  There isn't as much info on Pullip as there is on Blythe, or I haven't discovered it yet.  I did find some good wig removal tutorials.  I misunderstood about how the wigs are attached.  I thought they came baldy with wigs that just slip on with elastic- nope, they are glued.  I think I eventually want to remove Shan-ria's wig but I'm going to practice on Stica first.

I guess I'm going to start a Cool Cat supply list.  Hopefully some stuff will sell in my shop first since I cleaned out the account buying 4 dolls!!

  1. Thanks for the compliment on my blog! I try to always keep things nice and happy. Turns out I really love Stica. I changed her wig, eye lashes, and eye chips. She is perfect now without any major face changes. I did have to change her body because she arrived broken unfortunately.
