To Heart 2; "Another Days" Tamaki Kousaka (KOTOBUKIYA, 2007)

 

 

well, here she is, not perfect, but all right, even so.

 

she seems to be a custom collaboration between KOTOBUKIYA and OBITSU.

 

while her legs, arms and internal spinal frame are all standard OBITSU of the day,

the head and soft vinyl bust/lower torso halves are clearly KOTO originals.

 

the head has a captive shaft that slots into the OBITSU 27's hollow neck,

 

-with the OBITSU's usual eye hook and retaining bar absent-

 

- but otherwise, she ends up looking and feeling like just another typical OBITSU 27-based character doll,

save for her unusually-endowed bust-line and somewhat curvier lower torso,

complete with light anatomical accuracy of the personal region.

 

that said, her KOTOBUKIYA-sourced endowments proved far too generous for my own tastes,

and so i ported her over to a more reasonably-sized M-bust OBITSU i had tucked away.

 

among other things, her Sailor-Blouse looks far less strained on her now;

she actually looks remarkably charming in this evening dress;

 

 

and my precious Mikuru, in Tamaki's Sailor Suit, looks, well, Simply Precious!!

 

i found that one of the blouse sleeves was badly stained from something, so i had to remove them,

replacing them with long sleeves, -which i prefer anyway- in the closest shade of pink i could manage to scare up

to match that of the blouse;

 

these two get along quite well, despite being from very different grades;

 

she actually looks remarkably charming in this evening dress;

 

 

Are the gloves part of the main outfit or actually gloves?

oh, they're indeed separate gloves... really long ones,

to achieve that sort-of-bunched-up kind of look that i'm personally fond of...
