So... things have turned out Perfectly Backwards here over the last couple months... Principles of Asian Wabi-Sabi in Action, i Suppose. First, Got this Schoolgirl Sailor Suit for my Konomi a couple/three months back... Turned out to fit my much larger WB AT203-Based Shaorin; Just got this Re;ZERO "Rem" -styled Maid Dress for Shaorin... Turned out to fit my much Smaller OBITSU BODY 26-Based Konomi;

Well... after going through about a half-dozen irregular pairs over the years, - all from ReMent's "Petite Mode Costume Collection" series of 1/6 outfit sets - i'm finally pretty sure now that i wont be finding a more Perfect a Pair of Ballet Slippers for my Little Wife♥ Konomi~

the Clunky, Clumsy Princess Ayeka Jurai, from TOYNAMI's short-lived 2001 "Tenchi Muyo!" 12in. Character Doll series, that single-handedly inspired me to pick-up Sewing as a Hobby and a Skill;

Somehow... i had totally overlooked this ♥Cutie Pie♥ when she released back in 2011. Well... ♥She's Coming Home for Christmas in 2023♥

NENDOROID Chobits "Chii" with YMY 11cm. Body;

A Personal Classic Waifu from around 2000... -acquired by me in 2008 - given a whole new lease on life thanks to the WorldBox AT203 aftermarket Doll Body;

"Vintage" 1996 TSUKUDA HOBBY "Sakura Wars" Sakura Shinguji... that should be showing up today; this would be my second copy of this particular Character Doll... the first i had picked up used - loose/no accs. back around 2007 or so. i will be stripping this one of her shoes... for the immediate benefit of Shaorin;

Adjusted the longer of the two skirts that came with those two Sailor Suit sets for a more ideal length;

Second Time Around is certainly the Charm with Nendo Rose and her YMY aftermarket body!! this second example, - from a different seller - actually matches her skintone... and, in hand, is of noticeably higher quality as well. Shoot; now i'm going to have to order up a couple more just like this one; one for Miku... and another, for the Nendo Chobits Chii i have on the way that i intend to convert into a Nendo Doll~

Between her new body and Eye Faceup... Shao no longer embarrasses herself nearly so badly beside my Wife Konomi... herself about a decade newer, and in a proper Asian 1/6 Scale...

the Stock NENDOROID Body for Contrast; the YuMeng YMY 11 2nd Gen.

Miku Hatsune and Red Riding Hood; "Rose" my two GOOD SMILE Nendo Dolls to date. i've had them for two or three years now, and never quite satisfied with their stock bodies, i finally got around to finding my answer in the YuMeng YMY 11cm. Doll Body; i had ordered two of the 2nd Gen. bodies... and received one each of the 2nd and 1st. i'll have to see about getting another 2nd. Gen. in the meantime, Miku gets the 1st and Rose the 2nd, as shown above. All in all; they're just so Adorable♥ now... Just Perfect~

So i picked one of these up cheap... with an Eye towards appropriating her outfit into a lovely Nightie for my Konomi~

After a good Decade-plus worth of waiting for a suitable modern doll body to materialize for my old 2000 TSUKUDA HOBBY Mamotte Shugogetten! Shaorin here... WorldBox provided the answer, in their 2023 new AT203; ♥She is just so Lovely♥

this odd-scaled (1/5-ish) Sweetie was my second-ever Queen-Bee doll... taking the mantle in 2007/2008-ish, from the 2001 TOYNAMI Tenchi Muyo! Princess Ayeka Jurai that was my first ever Anime Doll, and served as the initial catalyst for my picking up and developing scale doll-clothing sewing skills. Shaorin here took over as my prime model for fashion-fitting until my bar was raised once again by my first OBITSU BODY 27 Girl around 2010/2011, Mikuru Asahina from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Anime. though, 15-odd years on my Anime Character Doll standards now firmly rest upon the Beautiful OBITSU BODY 26, i'd still like to pay homage to one of my early "Waifu's" (Favorite Female Anime Characters that Hardcore Anime fans fantasize about being Married to) and a very major step along the way to the current standard of perfection that my OBITSU 26-based Wife Konomi Yuzuhara lovingly gives of herself unto me♥

those cute little shoes came for Rose... and they fit her oh-so-perfectly♥

Rose with PICCODO 9;

Nendoroid Dolls; VOCALOID Miku Hatsune and Red Riding Hood Rose, with new, more well-proportioned GENESIS PICCODO 9cm. bodies fitted; - Stock NENDO Doll bodies - - GENESIS PICCODO 9 - Got sets of OBITSU doll shoes coming, that should fit to their now-larger feet well, and a YMY Brand 11cm. body for Rose to try out. if i like the taller YMY (i'm sure that i will) then i'll get one for Miku, as well...

how about one of most Beloved Blondes in all of JRPG Videogaming? Colette Brunel♥

My Wife, Konomi Yuzuhara, and her companion Doll, Lucy Maria Misora, are members of a very short-lived two-doll product sub-line from around 2008 that were part of MegaHouse Corp's much broader and longer-lived "ACTION FIGURE COLLECTION PLUS" Series. i came by both of these Ladies all at once in late-2019, and over 2020 i was able to upgrade them from their stock older OBITSU 23 and 24 cm. Doll Bodies to the modern OBITSU 26. i appropriated Lucy's Sailor Suit for Konomi... and greatly altered it to fit the OBITSU 26. i made each of them new Bras, Panties, Stockings and Socks, and reworked an existing Chinese Qipao to fit Lucy; https://to-heart.fandom.com/wiki/Konomi_Yuzuhara https://to-heart.fandom.com/wiki/Lucy_Maria_Misora
