Natsumi-Chan is here!

My first Dollfie Dream (technically) finally got all her parts in today!

As a warning, all of my photos were taken on a cellphone. I don't have a very good camera.

 

I had already purchased her head a few weeks ago from Waha, and it was already unpacked and unwrapped. Waha was nice enough to throw a wig in too! It's super pretty, even if it'll take me a while to figure out how to brush it and maintain it.

I also cut the bangs off a bit. They were kinda long, and pulling the wig to the side meant exposing the top of the wig, which was very thin and showed the wigcap. I felt a little concerned about cutting it but, hey, whatever.

 

Her head is a DDH09, prepainted and adorable. Her body is a Obitsu 50cm from Chibinezumi. I also bought a cute maid outfit from Bananapanda, since I spent a whole load of time looking at it and finally had a excuse to buy it!

Both items came well packaged, and in perfect condition. No damage, not even water; which is surprising, given the amount of snow we currently have.

Unpackaged! Chibi split the body into two pieces to make shipping a bit cheaper. I'd never seen a vinyl endoskeleton before, so it was kinda interesting to put back together. The screw for her head was a little long, so I had to run out and get some different ones, but it worked! The body was a lot bigger than I thought, which was really nice; I like bigger dolls, and was worried the DD head might be a weird size on a smaller body.

The body came with a blank head, which I'm not certain as to what to do with. It's much smaller than the DD head, which would make sense. I don't know if it would fit any body except a Obitsu 50cm or 45cm. I'm considering selling it to someone for a practice head, or looking around to see if anyone wants it. I'd practice on it myself but I don't have money for it right now.

(Don't mind the dirty rubber band on Natsumi's head. I found a different one to serve as her wig stopper. I need to make a proper cap and stopper but nyeeehhh.)

Assembled! Her arm keeps popping off and I need to get used to the sturdiness of ball-joints, but otherwise she's perfect! The body only has a slight off-color spot on a slightly loose foot, which is incredible considering that she was at a really good price.

She's a little shy about her body, and doesn't seem to like me taking pictures. Pardon your Papa, Nastumi-Chan!

And here she is, in her new maid uniform! The metal stand holds her up really well, and even Anuk's nuzzling couldn't knock her over. It's kinda ironic, considering that I'll be making a wheelchair for her soon. I'm almost tempted not to go through with it because of how well she stands.

She doesn't have any shoes either. I'll have to make some for her.

 

Soooo... in summary, my first Dollfie is here! I'm super happy to have her, and she's absolutely gorgeous. My doll family is now two thick, and I can't wait to have more!

Congrats on your first doll! I remembered how excited I was for my first doll.

Congratulations! And what shoes are you going to make for her?

Congrats! She looks so cute in her maid outfit!

Many congrats on your first DD~ :3 The maid outfit looks absolutely adorable on her! Nice to see that the Obitsu 50cm body works for DD heads too!

Thank you all for your kind comments!

Slippers, most likely. Something comfortable and easy to slip on and off. I know a tutorial or three on making slip-ons and Toms-like shoes; they suit her well enough. If I see any shoes that fit a 6cm that I like I might pick them up but, as she seems to be a weird in-between size, the chances of finding them seem kinda rare.

Her outfit is so adorable! I love the wig also, i think the purple looks really cute with the dress

Her face is really beautiful and soft! I like the wig color you chose for her as well. Congrats on her arrival!

Oh, my gosh! She is so adorable! I love her style!

What a cutie! & your kitty seems pleasantly interested.
