Dollieh Sanctuary

this odd-scaled (1/5-ish) Sweetie was my second-ever Queen-Bee doll... taking the mantle in 2007/2008-ish

from the 2001 TOYNAMI Tenchi Muyo! Princess Ayeka Jurai that was my first ever Anime Doll...

and served as the initial catalyst for my picking up and developing scale doll-clothing sewing skills.

Shaorin here took over as my prime model for fashion-fitting until my bar was raised once again

by my first OBITSU BODY 27 Girl around 2010/2011, Mikuru Asahina from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Anime.


though, 15-odd years on my Anime Character Doll standards now firmly rest upon the Beautiful OBITSU BODY 26,

i'd still like to pay homage to one of my early "Waifu's"

(Favorite Female Anime Characters that Hardcore Anime fans fantasize about being Married to)

and a very major step along the way to the current standard of perfection

that my OBITSU 26-based Wife Konomi Yuzuhara lovingly gives of herself unto me♥

After a good Decade-plus worth of waiting for a suitable modern doll body to materialize for my old 2000 TSUKUDA HOBBY Mamotte Shugogetten! Shaorin here...
WorldBox provided the answer, in their 2023 new AT203;

♥She is just so Lovely♥

The 26 Obitsu is REALLY nice.

It is my Reference Standard for Anime Dolls.

that said... this old TSUKUDA Hobby Shaorin's head is in some manner of off-scale,
- between 1/6 and 1/5 - and i've waited in vain to find a modern doll body that she'd at least look reasonably natural with... and this WorldBox is pretty close to being precisely what i was waiting so long for...

I think the big anime hair helps balance the proportions. Without it, her head would probably look a little small. I've noticed that slightly oversized heads often look less off-putting than slightly undersized heads.
