Chrono_San Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) yeh i know, it's yet another project. but i have so many ideas in mind and i find it better to get input really early to plan the projects in order to get good well-planned results. the idea with this project was to not only make a MDD of my fave character (Shana) but also of a number of other girls from the series. the characters bellow are the ones i might do, note that i might end up not doing all of them, but most of them. #1 Shana Head: DD Haruhi head Eyes: SQLab EE-04 Body: MDD with S-Bust Clothes: Azone 1/3 shana summer uniform #2 Wilhelmina Carmel Head: DDH 06 Eyes: SQLab ED-03 Body: DD with M-Bust Clothes: custom sewed #3 Hecate Head: DDH-02 Eyes: SQLab ED-01? Body: MDD with S-Bust Clothes: custom sewed #4 Margery Daw Head: DDH 06? Eyes: SQLab ED-03 or 04? Body: DD with L-Bust Clothes: custom sewed #5 Yoshida Kazumi Head: DDH 03 Eyes: ? Body: DDS with M-Bust or L-Bust? Clothes: custom sewed (differ size variant of shana's uniform) #6 Konoe Fumina Head: DDH-02 Eyes: SQLab ED-01? Body: MDD with S-Bust Clothes: Azone set or custom sewed #7 Ogata Matake Head: DDH 01, 03 or 04? Eyes: SQLab EE-03? Body: DD with M-Bust Clothes: custom sewed (differ size variant of shana's uniform) #8 Yukari Hirai Head: ? Eyes: ? Body: DDS with S-Bust or M-Bust? Clothes: custom sewed (differ size variant of shana's uniform) now as said i'm not sure how many of these i'll actually do and how long it will take. it's a long running project and i'll start of with Shana and Wilhelmina. but deciding on all components beforehand is a good thing and all input is welcomed over the time this takes Edited May 1, 2015 by Guest Dollfie Dream Family Kurumi Tokisaki, Shana, Reimu Hakurei, Ayeka Hanaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finnleo Posted December 17, 2012 Well, you are looking at Itou Noizi designs, so the haruhi gang heads are a good start. However many have done a Shana out of a Louse head also besides the obvious haruhi choise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrono_San Posted December 17, 2012 Well, you are looking at Itou Noizi designs, so the haruhi gang heads are a good start. However many have done a Shana out of a Louse head also besides the obvious haruhi choise. the only problem with these as i see it are Price and Availability. it will be a hard task to get those heads and for a reasonable price Dollfie Dream Family Kurumi Tokisaki, Shana, Reimu Hakurei, Ayeka Hanaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finnleo Posted December 17, 2012 Well, for a right here right now option, they are not the best of choises, and Ill admit suggesting louise was a bit cheeky overall. But I dont think the old master of mayhem is that bad an option considering her head is basicly ready made for non flamehaze shana. I wouldnt recomend going after just the head, but the best course there could be stalking a fullset, and selling off whatever you dont need (you'll still need the fullsize body for either Margery or Willhelmina), to claw back some money. And im saying this because I got my haruhi fullset for less than retail off YJA (although was a bit above retail after middle man fee's). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And im saying this because I got my haruhi fullset for less than retail off YJA (although was a bit above retail after middle man fee's). are you saying there are a official none flamehaze shana? or did you mean Haruhi's head are perfect for none flamehaze shana? you do have a point though, i do have use for haruhi's body for Wilhelmina probably, Margery needs a larger bust. the clothes can actually be worn by my Azone 1/3 haruhi i guess. suggesting louise are not bad, the best custom shana i have yet seen used louise and you get the correct body in one go. but it's probably a bit pricy. and i can imagine Mikuru's head will do a good kazumi. any recommended sites aside from Mandarake to get good deals on? EDIT: found these on Mandarake. i can't afford this month but maybe next. any of them good enough deals or are there even cheaper ways to find haruhi? http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-948459.html http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-432272.html http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1065861.html http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-612617.html Dollfie Dream Family Kurumi Tokisaki, Shana, Reimu Hakurei, Ayeka Hanaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haruhi's default eyes are also a pretty good match for Shanas non flamehaze eyes. While in flamehaze mode both hair, eyes and eyebrows turn red. Those mandarake prices dont seem too bad at first glance, considering if you stalked a doll off yahoo.jp more near to retail price, the broker fees could add it all up to around the same madarake is asking.

Chrono_San Posted March 20, 2013 managed to catch the Azone 50cm summer uniform of mandarake!, and ordered a MDD body and wig. so Shana is now on the go. what's left is to buy eyes of SQLab and find a decent Haruhi deal to steal a head and get a DD body for Wilhelmina, so it's two shana dolls on the go right now!

Chrono_San Posted April 7, 2013 Finally got some of the things i ordered. DD Haruhi, MDD body, MDD Hands (for holding sword etc) and Azone 50cm clothes the stuff piled up Shana, still without red eyes and hair (still waiting for those). Shana standing with Silica (DDS). she's small and cute! Dollfie Dream Family Kurumi Tokisaki, Shana, Reimu Hakurei, Ayeka Hanaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aquilla429 Posted April 7, 2013 I can't wait to see her complete, she's looking great so far! I think DD Haruhi is a pretty good choice for the head, will look even better with right eyes and wig!

Chrono_San Posted April 7, 2013 I can't wait to see her complete, she's looking great so far! I think DD Haruhi is a pretty good choice for the head, will look even better with right eyes and wig! better yet i can buy a black wig and use haruhi's eyes for black hair shana as a variant option. unless i repaint eyebrows red, they are actually supposed to be red. i really should repaint, but i will check how the brown ones match up before i do anything because it would be nice to actually be able to do this flame haze switch thing.

Chrono_San Posted April 23, 2013 Alright, while waiting for Shana and Wilhelmina's eyes to arrive, as well as Shana's wig, i started on Wilhelmina's clothes a bit. this is what it looks like so far Purple part done, it looks plain without the white "maidy bits" over it, but this is how it looks also i actually made underpants and under-skirt as well since it's supposed to be so, even if you'd probably never see it because of the purple dress Also i need a little help, if anyone can find a wig suitable for Wilhelmina, and boots, please link it to me!, she have a pretty damn hard hairstyle to find, mores o in the right colour (pink-purple-ish). and i can only seem to find black boots like hers, but i need brown!.

Chrono_San Posted April 24, 2013 Clothes about done, now i just need to wait til DDH 06 are back in stock, find a wig and shoes and it'll be all set I also gave her a ribbon, her signature "weapon" Dollfie Dream Family Kurumi Tokisaki, Shana, Reimu Hakurei, Ayeka Hanaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chrono_San Posted May 5, 2013 Finally got Shana's wig ^^ the shipping on this one was very slow ><. just need to get my SQ eyes now, they are shipped so should arrive soon enough together with Wilhelmina's eyes. that leaves only a head and wig for Wilhelmina, and boots. so again if anyone finds a accurate looking wig (style and color), and boots, please link it here!

finnleo Posted May 6, 2013 Shana's looking pretty good, along with willhelmina. I think since the wig is such a vivid red you might not have to worry about coloring the eyebrows red, since the hairpiece is such a focus point. Sort of like the Nagato Yuki DD, where her eyebrows are actually brown, but you still dont make note of it underneath the purple hair. (Or Feena Fam Earthlights green one's for that mater...)

tinydollproblem Posted May 8, 2013 They look great so far. Her wig is a pretty close match to her hair in the anime. I'm jealous of your Shana's uniform. I never had the money for it whenever I saw it on ebay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chrono_San Posted May 9, 2013 Eyes finally arrived so here we go, she is as good as finished, i just want to style an ahoge, but i have no stuff to style that at the moment. but with this, Shana is my first dollfie (finished one, Silica had an earlier start) and i guess i can be happy that it was my fave character who became my first finished ^^ in summer i'm going to hunt for good outdoors photo spots for my DDs ^^ Dollfie Dream Family Kurumi Tokisaki, Shana, Reimu Hakurei, Ayeka Hanaki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
