A Combined Tribute to my Space-Cadet Childhood; having typically-1980's parents with visions of their kid becoming an Astronaut someday, my mom got me numerous NASA-themed toys such as the 1985 CABBAGE PATCH KIDS "YOUNG ASTRONAUTS" Doll, and my plastic-modeller dad building numerous NASA and...

Just got this little sweetie in from AmiAmi a couple days ago. i've spent that time making her an entirely new set of undies, as well as trimming away the excess fabric at the dress' seams, providing a much more natural fit than possible straight-out-of-box;

(( VERSION 1, RIGHT SIDE, VERSION 2, LEFT SIDE )) two of the NEW OBITSU 24cm. ver.2 bodies just came in, -both White skin/Med. Bust- and they fit my two 24cm. sized girls Fabulously. they are a 100% improvement upon the 24ver.1, striking me as a refined development upon the AZONE "Pure...

Damn it, they cancelled Anime Banzai. Why? I mean we'll all be wearing freaking masks and knowing anime fans we'd show up if people started vomiting blood. Actually many of us would show up just to see that. So, did they cancel yours too?

AZONE Pure Neemo character doll of the main character from the late-2000's Manga, and early-2010's Anime, "Shinryaku! Ika Musume"/"The Squid Girl" a most unusually charming Anime series, and a must-see!! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squid_Girl i've ported her over to the OBITSU 26 (MEDIUM...

as much of a vendetta as i tend to have against TOYNAMI and their proudly-abysmal quality-standards, i suppose i do have them to thank for getting me into Anime character dolls back in 2001, via their short-lived 11in. "Tenchi Muyo!" doll line. indeed, i generally feel i've more or less come a...

they're SO Cute and Pretty♥ wish i could afford them all; they're SO Cute and Pretty♥ wish i could afford them all;

i've made so many modifications to this doll that i figured i might as well make a new thread altogether, so as to minimize any possible confusion; CardCaptor Sakura goes way back with me, all the way to the original BANDAI/TRENDMASTERS bendy-body dolls of almost twenty years ago, the...

MegaHouse/ALTER doll heads, on OBITSU 26cm. doll bodies; * Konomi Yuzuhara from "To Heart 2" https://to-heart.fandom.com/wiki/Konomi_Yuzuhara * Mikuru Asahina from "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" https://haruhi.fandom.com/wiki/Mikuru_Asahina

Hi there! I got a small Maromi Plush with the Paranoia Agent volume 1 box set and I was just wondering if anyone knows if it is worth anything? I've looked all over online but can't find another official one for sale, just ones people have made themselves. Here is a picture of the toy and the...

so, i think i just conquered the one remaining "fault" that was bugging me about my 1/6 Anime girl collection, a lack of credible, realistic mouth detail that could make their little faces well and truly "pop" in any lighting. i experimented on my two favorite girls, laying a blending of...

with this lovely Japanese Schoolgirl Sailor Suit, appropriated and modified from my recently acquired KOTOBUKIYA ToHeart 2 'Tamaki Kousaka" 1/6 doll, my Sweet Angel Mikuru looks as if she could have stepped straight out of the "ToHeart" Visual Novel/Anime continuity; ...

my local WAL MART got a large stock of these individually-sold panties in, in many varieties of color and style, all with the same beautiful elastic lace trim, $0.88 USD each. since this lovely trim is currently available in a wide variety of colors, and is wonderfully well-sized to a 1/6 or...

OMG is it hard to get these delicate, feminine details right at this Figma-like scale, especially with somewhat-shaky hands!!! well, i'm getting there, going to need to CAREFULLY clean the face up, and soften/fine-tune that facial detail, without messing up what i've already accomplished. Oh...

to quote "Parker" from the movie ALIEN; "It's... -I Don't Know- It's just... BIG!!" it is, without question, the VF-1 toy i've been waiting my life for. it's proportions are PERFECT. IN ALL THREE MODES. oh, and WHAT A SATISFYING HEFT. that leg weight, supported by such a spindly hip bar...

i just finished this set of Victorian-era style undies for my TAKARA Ah! My Goddess! "Belldandy" and, setting her beside both my TAKARA SAMURAI SPIRITS/SHODOWN "Nakoruru" and AZONE Chinese Fantasy "Maya" it struck me how much their preferences in underpinnings reflect the general change that took...

Tamaki-chan does seem to enjoy lounging around in her comfy Heart Undies;

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...
