Of 25 dolls, I only have one custom doll, (and it is a duplicate of a doll I already own.)

Customizing ruins toys. ;)

Believe it or not, this is the same doll:

I think the one on the left is the original. I've seen some collectors modifying their dolls into a matte / powdery skin texture. My wife wanted to try it but I told her it was too risky and kinda ruins the figure in a way.

you're right, the pink hair is the original, the more 'natural' redhead is the custom. she has new eyelashes, new eyechips, carved & repainted lips. i considered spray matting her too. lots AND LOTS of people do that, and its relatively safe with the right materials.

I got the customized one cheap, and its a duplicate of my first doll, so She is a constant work in progress. :) Other than her, my dolls stay stock.

is there an advantage to matting them? or is it just an aesthetic thing? like making them look fleshy instead of plastic

liz -

The earliest takaras had matte skin. Some people prefer the look. Some think it photographs better. it also makes a better surface for applying pastel and airbrush makeup, because it gives the skin a “tooth” for the makeup to grab onto.


They have instructions here fore sand matting (WARNING-Will remove makeup!)
http://www.puchicollective.com/tutorial ... d-matting/

spray matting is also popular & there is instruction here:

Here is a good comparison photo of a non matted & a matted doll:

She is "Enchanted Petal" She came with some bogus fairy stock outfits, which i hated, but I saw her true potential as an art rocker.
