This is not exactly a full custom, but a repaint and rebody.
I bought Pullip “China! China!” to honor my heritage. However, the doll is too old and showed signs of obvious aging even though she was NIB. Her face sealant yellowed and her waist melted and fused into her underwear.
It was expected, so instead of getting upset, I decided to salvage her. I rebodied her with an Obitsu 27. My daughter likes the mobility of the old Pullip body and doesn’t mind the fusing, so she put a Barbie head on it, which works well for her. Then I sanded off her old sealant and face up, except the lips (I like those lips). The redo was a success! I love her so much that I decided to keep her! 🥰
