To Heart HMX-12 "Multi" (VOLKS Dollfie Series)

this little sweetie just arrived, part of VOLKS' pre-Super Dollfie late-90's/early-2000's 1/6 scale "Ultimate Figure Series/Dollfie" Anime-centered Character Doll line.

 

she has the same early VOLKS "Spring Spine" body as my other two UFS Dollfies,

Ah! My Goddess "Skuld" and Mamotte Shugogetten "Shaorin" except that her bust is flatter than either of those two girls'

 

she's got a nice set of cute cotton undies all ready for her, but otherwise, i've plenty of work cut out for me here,

getting her unfinished resin Ear-Antenna modules ready for her (she's an Android) and cleaning up excess seam fabric on her clothes and such...

pretty much finished. there was excess mold plastic on the tips of her unfinished resin Ear Antennae that left an ugly gouge in each when cut away, so i had to rework them slightly, with leftover GUNDAM model parts i had around, painting the finished tips pink, to echo the style of the ear control pods on the "Persocom" Androids seen in "Chobits"

also, the original ribbon on her Sailor Suit blouse was no good at all, so that was replaced completely;

 

 

the fit of her sailor middy blouse was trued up around the collar some, and white ribbon added to the chest ribbon, for a little bit more accuracy towards it's original design;

 

 

fit on her skirt has been improved some;

 

Cute red slippers coordinate well with the rest of her clothing;

 

ideally, i'd love to find her some indoor school slippers such as these;

 

 

these days, at least, anything like those in 1/6 seem impossible to find, at least in reasonable quality at a reasonable price. perhaps i'll get lucky some day.

 

in the meantime, these girlish red slippers, appropriated from my recent TAKARA/TOMY 1/6 Sakura Kinomoto, look cute and fit well...

Multi, with Broom. a bit outsized, but probably about the closest i'll ever get;

the OBITSU i ordered up for her finally arrived!! among other things, her elbows can now bend beyond 90 degrees;

 

 

 

 

 

new OBITSU vs. original VOLKS EB MINI body.

 

both are actually quite generally similar,

but the OBITSU has a great many design improvements, all where they really count;

 

 

That is a nice improvement! But is that the only skin tone available?

yep, two skintone options with OBITSU bodies; this "Natural" fleshtone, and a pale "White" one.

 

while this body's tone doesn't quite match the peachier tone of her head,

really, it is close enough, at least for me, and in any case,

it's definitely a closer match than it ever was to her original VOLKS body...

new, pure white cotton stockings for Multi, to replace her aging, yellowing original pair.

 

not at all accurate to the look depicted in the Anime, but oh-so-very-cute even so;
