Beat up, hand me down Pullip in need of some TLC!

Hi I hope I'm not too late in writing this, but this site (http://parabox.jp/eng_new/) has a lot of wigs and obitsu parts for fairly cheap, much cheaper then any other site I've seen, and they're a little more helpful with measurements and such. Also, I found this tutorial.^^ (http://nko-ennekappao.deviantart.com/ar ... -279400766) Not sure if all the measurements are the same, but I hope it helps!~ ^-^

You're very welcome, good luck with your Pullip!~ I hope to see some pictures when she's feeling better.

You could also use a Volks 1/6, Pure Neemo Flection (my favorite), or, of course, a Pullip "Make It Own" body. Pullip does sell them separately now although I don't think Pullip Style, which I find is usually the cheapest, has 'em in stock right now. Just to overwhelm you with options.

If you like the idea of an actual Pullip body (although you sound like you're digging a more posable body), AmiAmi has them for around 1900 yen I think, but shipping will be an additional 800-1500 yen, probably, depending on what you go with.

The Neemos can be a little frustrating to get a hold of because at certain times they're just not available, but various ones are in stock or backordered in Japanese stores (which sell overseas of course) like Hobby List Japan and AmiAmi right now. They're around 1600-1700 yen ($16-17 roughly), but the shipping will knock it up to about $25-$30.

Obitsu you obviously know, but check the prices on Hobby List Japan and AmiAmi before you buy. Even with the shipping, sometimes you can get them cheaper than Junkyspot or Parabox. That's 'cause they have no markup; they charge Japan retail prices. It'll be a while before you get the body, though. Like I said, sometimes the dolls are on backorder, so it can be a few weeks before they get the doll on hand to ship. Then, if you choose the cheapest shipping method, it can take weeks for it to arrive.

Volks has a USA shop you can order from, so it's not a huge problem shipping cost-wise or time-wise. I think you can normally get a single doll body for around $30 total including the shipping.

oh my gosh, thank you SO MUCH! i'm probably going to stick with an obitsu body because they're most common, but i'll keep these in mind if i ever decide to/have enough money do do another pullip fixer upper. i'll see about buying it from hobby list.^^ thanks again so so much~! <333
