I'm so charmed by their little sculpted teeth and grumpy face, I haven't painted an open mouth head before, glad I'm off this weekend!

Sculpted mouths are the cutest! They add so much dimension and expression. Congrats, I love this sculpt, might pick it up too~

Okay Hack came in and now I have painted both these are Lovino and Alfred!

Anyone with a Chaimi head?? I heard that its a 1/3 head? But that's what I've heard. I have a friend currently working on a face up for this head in China, so I do not have it with me in hand for now.

It's a 1/3 head insofar as MDD heads are technically 1/3 heads. However, it definitely looks fine on 1/4 bodies!

Lovely!! I was thinking about maybe switching the imomo head to a MDD or a DDS but I'm wondering if it would look quite off. The joints on my imomo feel so loose, I'm not sure what I can do with it anymore/

Dismantle the Ankle and Knee Joints, layer the radial joint Disc sides with PVC Tape. Both Sides; one layer per.

poke holes in the PVC in the center of each to allow for the joint Screw to pass through.

carefully reassemble, and tighten screw down firmly.

This should yield you a set of TIGHT joints, giving your girl firm legs that should hold her standing weight just fine for the long term.

Finally, line/stuff the Vinyl leg-shells (Upper/Lower) with Polyfil Batting; either Loose or Sheet.

this should self-center and dampen the loose, free movement of the leg shells hung upon the inner body frame

as they are with the IMOMODOLL body.

 

I Did All of this for my "Yuna" (Mayoko) shown above... and she has benefited wonderfully from it~

I’ll give this a try! The stuffing reminds me of something as similar to angelphilia dolls. I want to be able to use my imomodoll without any issues, so I am excited to give this a try.

 

Good Luck~

These are most certainly Hobbyist Dolls... that pretty much Require some work to bring out everything that they actually CAN and SHOULD be...
