Lols, so I can officially stop actively adding to my vintage collection for awhile... Unless anyone's got some Francie and Allan love to go around ;D
Slightly annoyed that whilst Sipper is completely flat chested all of her height counterparts are already hitting puberty... Plus she would be too old for Todd and the Stacies.
This doll is just one huge basic homage to Andrea (aka Dolls Ahoy and her work, namely around 2009, mostly due to the Skipper head on a Midi sized but not quite Volks body with a poofy dress and the aviator's helmet.
But yeah, it took a crap load of bodyswapping to finally settle on the 12 Dancing Princesses Twin hodge podge body because I was umming and erring over whether to get her a body with bewbs or not, if she she be taller or shorter than her original body and the neck length.
I wasn't even going to use this body, but I noticed Andrea once put a Skipper head on a Midi body and this body is essentially the same size but tanned, so yeah. Putting the head on was perfect.
So yeah, she's taller now but I simply adore her. Though I'm not too hot on the hair.
I got this body waaaaaaay back, the 12 Dancing Princesses body was a shrunken down mold of the BB body except with Ballerina jointed arms and hard plastic legs strung with Elastic. Which was going cuz that meant I could saw and glue on new hard plastic joints. I eventually settled on Ken elbows and glued them together. However, I couldn't find feet so the body went away.
Fast forward to last year when I was getting back into 1/6th and I found a pair of high heeled Barbie legs and this body. Of course a light went off and I completed the body.
However, this body has been languishing in my parts box since then waiting for a head. Huzzah, now I has one.
Just slightly pissed off I lost the twin body cuz I really want to try this again.
In a good pair of heels she can stand alone...
It's incredibly and unusually sunny for winter around here (hence why no outside shot 'til now) but yeah. When I sat Skipper down the light caught her face and yeah. I liked it ;D
In a fit of genius, I finally decided to put Fio and Cadel's head back next to my Momokos, since they used to hang out together. Feeling a great sense of nostalgia I decided to shove Noah's head back onto his Fashion Royalty body,
And yeah, a friend ordered an Obitsu body for Cadel. Woo.
