I always intended to pick up one of these Fairytopia dolls for swapping and such but... I guess I assumed they would always be around lol. When they went off the shelves I just went along my way...

Spending Valentines Day out and about actually dragged my morale down really low so went I saw this doll, I just totally grabbed her and bought it.

The most foul smelling grape flavoured foulness just bombarded me as I opened her. Turns out, it's scented. Wut?! And her hair was incredibly tangled so I boiled permed it and it turned out pretty again haha. But this doll was pretty cheaply made so I'm kinda not impressed. But the hair is a really nice colour and really nice when you boil it and comb it out haha. It still smells like bubblegum ew.

Her mold is really nicely sculpted so I kinda wanna track down another and paint a more realistic face upon her.

She's based on the face paint of Tuili Chan, aka the Japanese Francie face... I'm kinda half-half on her face right now since I'm not sure if I like it... And yeah I'm on a Japanese doll face painting kick. Lol.

Also, I'm calling her Budou since this girl smells completely smothered in grape bubble gum...

You made her look cuter than her original self

She looks so much better!

very cute

I love the new face up and thanks for the warning about the stench!

Your girl looks adorable

I have one of the purple haired fairytopia dolls as well, but she was very, very lightly scented, and smelled like grape pez.

Your faceup is ten thousand percent better than the factory paint. homygod. The closeup of the original kinda scared me, don't know why. Just...so expressionless and generic.

I like your new face-up much better! She's cute! And that hair color is wonderful!

I've gotten one doll in the past that was scented (eewww!) and one that came stinking of cigarette smoke (double eeeew). Both lost their offensive scents in time. I just put them somewhere out of the way where they got good ventilation, and let them air out.

Ahahhah I didn't realize you had already repainted her face till i got to the end so while I was reading I was like but I really like her face...I guess I mean I really like the face you painted on her....Scented dolls...so weird. She looks fab in her red cheongsam btw. Goes with her hair so well.

Vast improvement! Her hair is fabulous, and she looks much better side-glancing.
