I love figuring out how to make what I want, so I was playing around with making a Hoihoi San for you. If this is the one you want:

This is how I would do it:

This head

I would use the 11 cm obitsu body for amazing posing and the fact that it fits Kelly clothes and squishy shoes.

Basically the outfit is a slightly altered maid outfit, which is easy enough to make. The shoes are white boots or Mary Janes with a black bow. Kelly bunny ears turned backwards and painted black would make the thing on her head. This would give you a real BJD that can stand up to some serious play time. I know I love mine. :)

...wow, i don't know what to say, and especially as id only just joined a few days ago.
thank you.
The main problem though is going to be price - for reason i wont go into right now im working as a carer, which only gives me £57 a week carers allowance.
Add to that the carer work means that i can only really work weekends, cue my one day a week cleaners job, paying £48 a fortnight.
total earnings £150 [or about $241.40] a fortnight.
yyyeeeaaahhh - im not exactly gonna be getting a Dollfie dream anytime soon - unless someones feeling VERY generous.

I love Hoi hoi...and if i could I would get one. IT's really sweet of you to be making one for Ilorcalon

I think the 11 obitsu body is perfect and I prefer the GLib wig.

I'm not so sure about the head though. I feel like she would work better with the neko head

or the 21HD-f01 or 21HD-f02

Of course these are painted eye heads , but for Hoi hoi who herself is painted eye, the head shape just works better. Of course this way you can also do different expressions.

I jsut did one character with dif expressions using three of the 21 HD-f01 heads (since they don't have sculpted mouths). It works well and I will post them here later this week. The size of the heads are on the larger size but it looks super cute.

Either way., she'll be cute. I can't wait to see in progress shots and finished shots.

Maybe a nuffin head would be better

I want eyehole because I really want to use these eyes.

The muffin head is a lot better. The cheeks are more rounded like Hoi hoi's and the overall feel is more anime looking.

Those are super cute eyes. Did you make them yourself?

No, they are Artistique. She has beautiful acrylics at a really good price.

With some right make up, I think a Muffin head can look super anime like, especially with those pointy nose.
