Run Down Miu Arrived~

My Miu Amaha head came in the mail to me about two days ago.

Here's a link to the forum that I made about deciding on getting her..

As you can see, her face-up was horrible and she looked very dirty with a lot of stains. I was surprised to find out, after I cleaned her and removed most of her face-up (couldn't get some of the eyebrows off and some left over black around the eyes are there but you can't tell from pictures), she only had one bad stain and its in front of her right ear. It's only a circular small spot, even annoying, it wasn't as bad as I and a lot of others had thought.

So, here are the pictures of her currently. Sorry for the bad blurriness. My digital camera is basically messed up and I had to use my phone camera (and I do not own an IPhone so quality isn't that great).

And here's the pictures of her before (the pictures are the reference pictures of where she had been sold, not when she was home with me before I took the face-up off):

When she came to me, the previous person had put white putty stuff to hold in her eyes and it was kind of hard to get out but never fear, I was determined to get it out. And I did. x3 Miu is basically going to be my project doll, in a way. I will obviously get someone else to do her face up but I tried to remove the face-up all by myself. The purple eyebrows and black eyelashes were a pain though. You can still see the eyebrows a little bit in real life since they are just faded.

But, that's my Miu for now. I hope I can get someone to work on her face-up soon. 🙂

Oh and a bonus photo~ my Alna got her eyes a couple weeks or so ago. Here's what she currently looks like.

Well, that's all for now! Thanks for reading~ : D

Wow, all I can say is well done for what you've achieved! If you haven't managed to get all of the original face up off, may I ask what you've been using to remove the bulk of it? Have you considered using something a bit stronger to just get rid of the last little bits? There are many video's on youtube detailing how to remove (difficult) face ups if you need it. Other than that, I look forward to seeing how you transform your miu!

On a side note, Alna's eyes are simply gorgeous! Would you mind my asking where you got them from?

I used Non Acetone Nail Polish Remover since that's really all I have and people say they either use that, 92% Rubbing Alcohol (which I only have 70%), or Winsor and Newton Brush Cleaner and Restorer, which I cannot find any place around me (I also used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with Dawn in it to clean her and also rubbed some 70% alcohol on her to clean her head cap as well). I looked at Joann Fabrics and Walmart for the Winsor and Newton Brush Cleaner and Restorer but it was nowhere to be found and I didn't want to wait a whole week or two weeks for it to come in the mail when I had something that I could use. Her face-up was bothering me. XD I haven't seen any youtube videos detailing on how to get them off. I've searched and searched for help online and seeing how other people do it. *shrugs* If you know of any detailed videos about removing a dollfie dream face-up, please let me know! : D I'd very much appreciate it. ^^ But anyway, I hope to transform my Miu into a MDD and have her be a sweet yet really energetic and almost hyper little girl. She loves attention and having fun. 🙂

I bought the eyes from Kitsune off the Marketplace. She didn't list where they came from though. But they are made of resin. I'm sorry that I can't be of much help there.

I found them on yahoo!auctions. I don't remember who the seller was, but they had a lot of eyes for sale, maybe if you check from time to time, you could find them >~<

 

 

And I'm really looking forward to Miu with her new face up ;3

Thank you! I think she looks cute as well, almost like she is having a playful giggle with that smile of hers. ^^

I should be able to send Miu over to a face-up artist possibly next week or so, hopefully everything works out since it'll be the first time I send a package like this, and also since it will be internationally. It'll be a weird process but it'll be soooo worth it in the end. I hope to also get a new camera along the way and then I'll take plenty of pictures of her and Alna together~ then when I get bodies then it'll just escalate from there. Miu will try to take the spotlight from Alna…poor gal. But Alna will rise to the challenge. Ahahaha. XD

So am I, so am I. 🙂 Her face-up is going to be sweet with a mixture of energetic-ness and a pinch of hyperactivity. x3 She loves getting attention and making people smile and laugh, especially her family. 🙂

Thanks for giving us a hint about where you got those eyes from~! : D

Oh my, you really went to town on it! That's pretty much the full package there. I don't know what else

I could recommended, other than this: http://www.tatabjd.com/en/goods.php?id=2028

As for the youtube video's I completely forgot that resin face up removing and vinyl face up removing process are quite different things, so I'd better not link you to the ones I found originally

I'll be looking forward to seeing more pics of her!

I'm planning on sending Miu to a face-up artist by the end of next week or the middle of next week, if I can get the chance, if me and the face-up artist get everything sorted out~ so, I'll just have the artist remove the remainder of the face-up, if I can, instead of waiting for a product to come in the mail for me to remove it and then send it. Aha. So much waiting. I'm a very impatient person. XD But thank you so much for the link~ it looks like it does what my nail polish remover does and it doesn't show well enough how they got the rest of the eye makeup off. DX And yeaahhhh, removing vinyl and resin face-ups can be quite different.

But anyway, I will look forward to getting a new camera (since my original's back screen broke and I can only see waaaay less than half of what I'm taking a picture of) and then taking cute pictures of her when she is all done (or at least has her face-up done, her wig, body suit + wig cap, and body). XDDD

That must be very exciting for you! Haha, you're someone after my own heart. This hobby has taught me to be alot more patient, though. If somethings worth waiting for and all that ~

I know how you feel, I can't wait for my uncle to (finally) give me back the camera I lent him so I can start snapping my girl when her latest loot containing her first wigs and outfits arrive. It's all a waiting process, unfortunately
