Introducing Le Muse... Yeolume Podo!

I had been eyeing Toymalaysia website for the longest time waiting for the right doll with the right price tag. For Doll collectors, most know Pullip dolls ain't cheap but they are stilll cheaper than BJD dolls like Dolfie, Iple House etc...

Isn't she sooo cuteee?!

 

And then they created Yeolume dolls, the future daughter of Pullip... As fate would have it, one Yeolume Podo was on sale and I didn't think twice! The delivery was super fast as I made the payment on Sunday morning and it was shipped out in the evening, I was pretty impressed! Sadly, I wasn't home on Monday to receive the parcel so by the time I rushed to the Poslaju Branch at 5.30pm I was told I could wait for the postman to come back by 7.30pm. I couldn't get to pick my Yeolume that day and had to wait till Wednesday thanks to the Public holiday. But still, such joy to unbox my first Doll!

 


Modifying my Yeolume to an Obistu body..

 

I didn't quite like the original body as the joints were hard to bend for poses. I had bought an Obitsu 27cm body for some time so I got busy and took apart my Yeolume. Removing her wig was the most difficult part of the process but her neck is still kinda loose. But definately looks better on a 27cm Obitsu body!

 

I got really busy after her arrival! Most of the Projects had been left aside as there was no real motivation without a muse... haha... So I finally got cracking and started putting up the wallpapers to the cheap Tesco shelf I bought few months ago and getting the bed ready! I also finished matching comforters and pink pillows!

 

 

 

 

 



KUMIK head, Obitsu Body arrived but hang on a minute!

I had stumbled upon the world of BJD (Ball-joint dolls) some time ago...

After much surfing until my eyes turned sore, I realized ain't no way I could afford one from companies like Dolfie or Iplehouse & etc where the price for an average doll is about RM 3,000, so I did found the cheaper option that many Forums recommend getting a beginner's doll - Obitsu Body. They usually come headless and you can attach any head from other companies that you want.

.... and I did find another company that produces realistic heads resembling famous Celebrities and they are always Sold Out and you have to pre-order! I contacted a company in Singapore and got mine in couple of week's time.

Goo Hara of KARA ....

 I always thought Tae-Yeon of SNSD is ridiculously cute!

My wrongly ordered KUMIK head... haiiizz....

Freakishly expensive but adorable Byul, Dal & Pullip Yeolume Dolls from Korea..... soon, soon... Let me close a few more deals and I will treat myself to a Doll....

For some reason I can't find the pic of my Obitsu body so I borrowed this one from another Blog... The wonders of the current Toy-making Industry! The company, Obitsu makes them in various sizes, 12cm, 27cm, 45cm and even large 60cm doll bodies!

 

 

So the problem I have been facing is attaching the neck peg onto this Obitsu body, there are only a few tutorials online and it does require some sawing and elbow grease.

 

Still, hoping to get a free day this week to get cracking.... Have a good weekend folks!
