Yuan Posted February 8, 2013 I decided to post this here now that everything is in motion. I just have to finish paying off the head/body as they are on layaway. Holo (light novel ver) for the uninitiated I decided to go with a slightly different shade of hair for now, although picked something close to the anime version of Holo. It's a very lovely color in person. This decision was made in an attempt to find a wig and ears that would color match within a few shades, without me having to make my own immediately. This is the only existing Holo doll on the market, a 1/6 scale Azone: And below, the materials I've gathered thus far, or am in the process of paying for/are in shipping: Coolcat MilkTea wig, ears and tail from suijin725eb on Yahoo!Japan and a DDH-06 prepainted head + eyes from Volks News 50. I wound up going for a DDII body with normal bust as it was easiest to find at the time, but I might move her onto a DDS in the future. As for outfits, I've ordered something basic so she will not have to run around naked when she gets home. I intend to sew her wheat pouch before she arrives and then look into commissioning an outfit for her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nekopon Posted February 8, 2013 She's a great character! I can't wait to see your rendition of her. I think the Magical Ruby head will be an interesting choice. By the way, have you seen this gallery? http://www.flickr.com/photos/91377333@N03/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bananapanda Posted February 8, 2013 This is so exciting, I love Holo! I was also thinking about customizing a DD of her too, but I don't have the money right now :/ But I'm super excited to see how yours turns out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way, have you seen this gallery? http://www.flickr.com/photos/91377333@N03/ Oooh, I have not! I looked all over for pictures of other Holos but came up with nothing! That is certainly quite the standard, although I have not decided which of her outfits to commission first. I would like to find a super fluffy tail like that one someday, I was thinking about making a yarn tail and ears myself later because they can wind up looking very realistic! I think I will wait until I have her in hand and can find the absolute PERFECT wig for her, then I will take it to the store and color-match the yarn.

ArcticKitsune Posted February 9, 2013 I can't wait to see how Holo looks on your end, and nice to see someone else made a Holo. That red wig however bugs me. The brown to the top left works though. Your Dollfie so just ignore me, just noting my thoughts. Mmm, wet apples The proud master of a foxy (DD) Varakitsu, Renge, & Caster; Kon!~ Kon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lala Lolita Posted February 11, 2013 Ooh I love this idea! It's looking like it'll be really cute! I do take custom commissions, there's a link in my signature if you're interested. If not, good luck anyways! @blushingbjd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Dollfie so just ignore me, just noting my thoughts. Mmm, wet apples I told you before that I am not using the bright red wig, that is just the default in the image for the Magical Ruby head. XD The reddish-brown top-left wig is the one I'm using for her right now~. I need to sell some art before I can worry about commissioning an outfit Need money first. Thanks for the offer Lala, I'll be sure to keep you in mind when making my decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gothikgrrl Posted April 2, 2013 I can't wait to see this doll done. You have done a great job of amassing your pieces to get her finished. Will be a beauty!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yuan Posted April 6, 2013 Hopefully I'll be able to pay her off next month I switched from a fake tail to a real fox tail as it's much fluffier, I will probably get her new ears later. The wig looks great in person, and I've also sourced the outfit I want.Taobao link Which I should also be able to afford next month since it's about $100 with proxy fees, before shipping to me (an extra 120 yuan if I want the shoes) Will probably be at least June before everything is together, but patience is a virtue~.

Yuan Posted May 13, 2013 Sent request for final payment! Gonna be a good girl and put aside more money this cheque, I'll commission the outfit later. Hopefully she'll arrive next week and I'll have a Holo lounging around waiting for her true outfit. ^^ Look forward to posting pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
