Multi Karusugawa - To Heart (TSUKUDA HOBBY/WorldBox Hybrid)

 

 

 

I've had this girl for a good while now, over ten years, IIRC.

Never was satisfied with her goofy, off-scale TSUKUDA HOBBY doll body,
and have only recently happened across a viable alternative
in the form of the 2023 WorldBox AT203 Aftermarket Doll Body.

Well... it seems that getting her a WorldBox opened a proverbial Can of Worms.

i've sanded, repainted, combed, brushed, primped and fussed over her head
until it reached a lever of sharpness i had previously thought unachievable.

Further, being that as a boy, long ago, i was a STAR WARS fan,
with a singular affinity for the "Scout Trooper" Imperial Stormtrooper Costume Variant,
i figured that the old HASBRO 2000/2003 12in. Action Figure costume
would surely look Charming on her.

Well... Boy, was i ever Right. She looks so... Overwhelmingly Adorable,
that i could, honestly... Practically Cry♥

She's a very cute stormtrooper! Love this idea!

I Managed to greatly improve upon her cute little head.

i X-ACTOed her rough-looking original Ear-Antenna pod mounts away...
and replaced them with a much cleaner and more subtle-looking set,
made from, -of all things- a pair of Main Landing-Gear Wheels
from a 1/72 F-14 TOMCAT model kit (Hasegawa)

Not too many photos showing but I'm assuming its a hybrid with WorldBox body? I'm wondering if I can put my Azone doll head on any of theirs bodies...

 

I've Since went in Another Direction with this Project;

 

 

... And i've Also abandoned the TSUKUDA HOBBY Multi in Favor of a Custom combining an OBITSU 26 Body

with the Head of an old SEGA AQUAPAZZA Multi Statue;

 

 

Is WorldBox quality not good?

It's Very Good, though ideally Suited towards the more "Realistic" side.

WB's "Pale" is very much on the Duskier, Olive side of Skintones, and that just isn't terribly well-suited towards the Anime Character style.

TBH they were a Compromise i came across back in 2023 to give my old 1/5 TSUKUDA HOBBY Girls a New Lease on Life,

And i am indeed quite happy to have since moved on to 1/3 Dollfie-Based Girls~

 

With Old Fashioned Undies on... She looks "Passable" if you're not too picky, I Suppose.

Skintone, however, remains an Insurmountable Problem;

 

 

She Truly wouldn't look that bad at all if only that Skintone matched more closely;

 

 

She looks GREAT from the Rear;

you could almost be fooled into Believing that she well and truly Works from this Angle;

* If You're talking AZONE Pure Neemo Heads; FAR Too Small.

* If You're talking AZONE Happiness Clover/Iris Collect Heads; FAR Too Big.

 

Think Barbie Head Sizing; that is pretty much what the WB Body is Optimized for...
