Novi Stars Ari Roma arm transplant

So I fixed the Ari Roma doll I thrifted and gave her new arms courtesy of a knockoff Barbie body I have at home.

Here is the before pic:

And here are pics after the transplant:

*Red Ranger in the background. I painted the silicone balls on his hands white already.

I removed the forearms from a donor body using a handsaw I bought at Daiso. I didn't cut at the exact length because I had to make an allowance for the pegs for both limbs. I carved a peg on each arm with a craft knife and thank goodness, the arms are not hollow or made of hard plastic or else I would have had a difficult time figuring out what to do next.

Then I applied a first coat on both arms with purple acrylic paint, then used Mod Podge to glue down the purple glitter and seal it afterwards.

Look, I can only twist the arms arounds but it's going to stay up like that forever, but it isn't a big deal because it looks like Ari is striking a pose anyway.

I didn't cut off the pinkies anymore because the hands look fine with five fingers.
