Hello :)

I think this topic is not useful. :oops:
Marmit body is discontinued item, and they are soon replaced to other body by their cheap quality.
But I wish to upload this tutorial. :)
I wish it bring the newer technic of doll customizing....

This is my final trial version of Marmit body. Her back style is not good. :(

Comparison photos with non-customized body (left).
Non-custom body cannot bend her left leg completely.

Arm joint system:
Shoulder joint is replaced to Kotobukiya Poly-joint. (http://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/cgi-bin/db_ ... 1366-1369-)
Elbow joint is Volks EB-mini, and wrist joint was made from spare parts of Volks EB.

Leg joint system:
Hip joint is replaced to Volks DM-unit.
Knee joints is two of Wave PC-05 Poly-joint. (http://www.be-j.com/olshop/option/pc/384.jpg)
Ankle joint is Hobby base round-shape joint.

I used this joint as "figma-style" position for connecting foot parts.

That is awesome Yah! I think my two Marmit elves are going to be living in fear of me doing something like that to them one day hahaha. I probably won't, but I will remember :)

Even though I don't have Marmit dolls, seeing how you customize dolls helps. I start thinking "What could I do with the dolls I have to make them better?". Thanks for the ideas :)
