TOMY/TAKARA "Liccarize" Cardcaptor Sakura Sakura Kinomoto

[Tasuke]

she showed up several days ago, and i couldn't help but start a bunch of improvements right off,
borrowing Yuki's old-type OBITSU 24 body, -a perfect match in skin tone!-
new gloves and stockings made from scratch, the originals being sized to fit the original TAKARA Licca body, itself much too short in actuality for Sakura's head, and looking far more proportionate on a 24cm. OBITSU body.

also, her bonnet, as provided out of the box, WILL NOT FIT snugly to her head, so i reworked it with elastic lace to fit snugly and realistically.

she's pretty much finished as she now stands.
soon as i can afford to, both Sakura here and my Yuki Nagato will be getting the new 2017 24cm. OBITSU body redesign.

also, since Yuki's bra, panties and socks are a fine match to Sakura here, i guess i'll have to make Yuki a new set soon. here's a comparison shot, Sakura's current stand-in old design 24cm. OBITSU body, beside her TAKARA/TOMY original;

improvements/modifications include;; new red and cream ribbons for her gloves and sleeves, sleeves with new elastic gathering and lace cuff, and Petticoat/half slip reworked into a full slip/petticoat.

here's a comparison with the stock doll;


-STOCK--



-CUSTOM--

[Tasuke]

original two-piece doll set from a few years back;





someone's custom, utilizing an AZONE "Pure Neemo" body in permanent sitting pose;

[Tasuke]

added crinoline seems to add the needed flounce to bring the skirt more in line with the established official look;









in the end, this new doll certainly handily beats out my last one i had years ago,
itself a similar attempt to improve an existing character doll,
this one a Korean bootleg;
