Obitsu head, Dollfie Dream 1 body...

...I figured if anyone knew how to make this work, someone here would.

This is the head I want to use...60-011. I have this.

...there is a biggish round hole on the bottom rather than an oblong hole like Gretel and Haruka.

Going to put it on one of these bodies: a Dollfie Dream 1. Look at Biff's post on her and her significant other's Zandra for a good look at one of those bodies.

They use a resin-style S-hook for attaching head to body. I figured out a great way to explain the floppiness of a DD1 versus the DD2 and Obitsu 60cm: the character I'm making is an Iraq war veteran who got shot in the back, ending her career and making her a paraplegic. The My Twinn wheelchair will work for her...My Twinns are just a skoch bigger than a DD or an Obitsu 60cm.

Here's the link to the chair:

The slings are OMG Barbie Pink but everything else looks uber-realistic. Most people who are wheelchair bound usually put ergonomic cushions inside to support the body better and prevent pressure sores so it won't show much anyway.

The character name just came to me: Sgt. Rachael B. Swanigan, US Army. (Ret.) Salute incoming heroine!

You need a "donut". You can get them here: http://us.sk-coolcat.com/front/bin/ptde ... ory=158911
They also have other neat stuff. I believe they do sell on ebay as well.

Or you can make your own out of the inner plastic thing in pill bottles that makes them "childproof". That's what I do. It works great. If you want I can probably send you some of the pill bottle variety. You cut away the excess, leaving the flange for strength, punch a hole in the center of the plastic and then pull the elastic up into the dolls' head, then through the bottle piece, and then add an "S" hook. TaDaa!

I have one of those heads, and it's a darn shame that it doesn't have a name. Mine is Alerich, and he's a wood sprite married to Hazel's sister.

I can't think of anything I need there that would make the order worthwhile.

That sounds more doable. Please take pictures of this, ok? I think I'm able to make one of my own. No need to trouble you for one.
