Harumika Dress Form and LPS Blythe Hybrid

I found these while thrifting:

Left: A Harumika dress form with no stand, from the New York City designer dress form set.

Middle: An unidentified anime figure's body. Hope I can identify the owner using this website: https://www.animecharactersdatabase.com/. A figure of Perona from One Piece. (Thank you for the ID, "Unknown"!)

Right: A Littlest Pet Shop Blythe head, from LPS Blythe Style Skate set.

A clear envelope with some crafting supplies. What I find most important in this is the cutting mat.

Now I have a cutting mat, yes!

Back to the Harumika dress form. It didn't come with a stand so I have to improvise. I have a short wooden dowel, and a balloon cup stuck on a jar lid, which was previously a doll stand I used for my dolls. 

There is a shallow hole underneath the dress form which was for the original stand, so I inserted the wooden dowel through it and it fits perfectly! I don't even need to add glue!

Then I inserted the wooden dowel through the balloon cup and it also fit! Now my dress form with stand is complete. I might leave it as it is, or paint the wood, the balloon cup and the jar lid black to match the dress form's colour.

/What's special about a Harumika dress form is that you can drape pieces of fabric on it and tuck them in the back to secure them. There's a tight slit on the back of the dress form for tucking fabric there so you don't have to sew anything. You can use a ruler to tuck the fabric there if you don't have that special tool that comes from the Harumika set.

Then this anime body Perona figure I found, at first I had a different plan for it because I knew I have an anime head in storage in my new place. While rummaging through the toy box at the thrift store, I found this random LPS Blythe head, then I thought of sticking the Blythe head to the body.

As you can see, the neck hole is just right for the neck peg of this body. So I gave the head transplant a try.

And it works!!

I had a heart shaped wood from a lot of toys and found use for it when I painted it black with a marker and stuck the figure onto it with sticky tack. It works!!

Afterwards, I gave the figure a wash specially the Blythe head because it had paint on its face and hair. I also stuck a lollipop I made from a wooden bead and toothpick to her raised hand to complete the look.

Now these aren't at the thrift store but at a local supermarket. I found this Sikaly doctor doll.

Then I noticed the joints of the doll.

Oh those are Liv joints! This doll has a Liv clone body...

... but I spoke too soon because her feet are Barbie sized and unarticulated. This is still good, because Barbie sized shoes are more accessible than Liv shoes!

And I noticed this cheap doll called Anita. Wow look at all that hair!

And the dress looks somewhat decent! The doll apparently has chopstick legs, but it's nothing a body transplant can't fix, right?

A Photo Dump! [Part 3]

I don't remember if I've posted this already or not, but at the time I took this photo (during Toy Con) Cocodels were new arrivals at Toy Kingdom. I don't know anymore if they are still being sold.

Cheering squad gashapon. Not to be confused with Fuchiko on The Cup.

Desktop Creamy Mami gashapon figures.

Frozen fashems.

Blind bags, blind bags, blind bags.

Ugglys blind capsules.

Mini Fuji camera gashapon.

Yu Yu Hakusho gashapon.

I also want to share a miniature bench I found at a supermarket. I got a miniature KitKat bench with a memo pad.

Miniature Kitkat benches

It cost me P150. It was tempting to get the bench with a speaker but I already have a speaker, and the tape dispenser was also cool, but I like the memo pad the best.

Here's Kitty trying the bench. She's a little too big for it. There's that bootleg Shopkins basket, too.

Here's Harry trying the bench. It fits perfectly. There's my new Winx Club Flora doll, too. I don't like the outfit she came with. I think it doesn't suit her, but the Daiso kimono does, probably because her eyes make her look quite Asian. Her original outfit is now with my My Little Pony Equestria Girls Twilight Sparkle, which I've yet to talk about.

Coffin doll backpack

I was bored so I thought of making a test bag for my doll. I saw this video beforehand:

It's not a functional backpack but a decorative one which is good because I don't plan to make any doll sized accessories to put in the bag anytime soon.

The backpack size is for Littlest Pet Shop (LPS) so I had to modify it to Monster High or fashion doll size. I also changed the shape of the bag into a coffin because... Monster High.

Materials:

Cardboard

Foam sheet

Scrap fabric

Thin ribbon

Hot glue

Scissors

I made it with four layers of cardboard. The LPS backpack tutorial only required three.

And the fabric is from... dun dun duuuuun... an old underwear. Hahaha.

Here is Maddie Right Legs wearing the backpack. I know the coffin design doesn't match her aesthetic, actually any Ever After High character for that matter, but she is the one I grabbed for fitting.

The hair gets in the way, and the ribbon is a little loose on her probably because of her size.

A pic of Maddie just for fun. She's wearing a Daiso waitress outfit and shoes from charms I bought from CDR-King. Some parts of her hair has become frizzy but I haven't restyled her hair yet because most of her curly locks are still intact.

I still kinda hate myself for not being able to make proper clothes for Maddie so she is still wearing this Daiso outfit. Someday, someday...
