So, I had a couple hours to spare this afternoon, so I started OPENING DOLL HEADS!

( Wanna see? )

I'm happy to see that the eye transplant was a complete success. Pickles looks a lot more picklier with those greener eyes. His old eyes do look good on Nathan, I must admit.

Oh wow, the family's getting larger and larger by the minute! With Nathan around, I suppose things are gonna be both brutal and metal. (looks at pink cap) Then again... :D

I didn't go into it, but it was kind of a mess. The first doll I wanted to use for the Nathan head totally wouldn't come apart, so I ended up stripping a bunch of screws. And then I finally got Pickles' head assembled and remembered I forgot to put his head ON HIS BODY. And then Nathan's blink mechanism wouldn't cooperate. AND I found out you can't swap an eye mechanism from a girl doll to a boy doll. Pffft.

But I do like those eye chips better for Pickles. I need to get a better wig for Nathan, but that's easy enough. And I still wanna add Toki's moustache. And I'm not 100% decided on Murderface.

But, it's getting a bit crowded here..... :D

Well that's it, now you have to improvise Murderface.

Dood, it's just (here's the clever thing I figured out today): Toki wears a 'stache, but MF IS HIS STACHE. I mean, seriously. SRS BZNS! It's not just, Oh, I'll go find a triangle hair wig, la la la.

Lemme remind you

True dat!

(I love Pickles' expression in this cap.)

Which leads me to wonder, if I'm gonna do Savage Young Dethklok, do I need to do Magnus??

Doll facial hair... the eternal struggle!

Seriously, it seems like it's a lot easier to fail with a male doll than a female.

Pickles' new eyes are be-yootiful! Well done!

Thanks! I'm probably the last doll collector on the internets who hadn't opened a Pullip head. But, this doll's eye mechanism seems to be especially annoying. All the parts kept jiggling out of alignment every time I tried to put it back. That said, I think I like the Cool Cat eyechips better than most of the Groove ones.

Do I still count as a doll collector if I never dewigged or re-eyechipped a Pullip? I just admire them and sometimes make them pose with my other toys.

Heehee. No, you're a doll collector! I just consider you more an All Purpose Toy Goddess of some kind, as you have Ponies! And Transformers! And LEGO! And, much coolness.

I must say, I now have a lot more appreciation for those people on Flickr who turn their Blythe dolls into functioning chainsaws or bas-reliefs of the Mississippi delta.
