I always found it entertaining when I read in Prego that some people posted their dolls’ pictures with the title “Just Because”. I guess sometimes you just feel like to do something without any strong reasons or a particular theme….you just wanted to do it because it pleases you.
So tonight, I feel like to do so – to post a few snap shots of my OOAK tan skin Tian Shi. She has been with me since 2009 (my previous report of her here).
If you asked me which factory doll of this year impressed me most so far? Doubtlessly, the Farrah Fawcett doll by Mattel (previous review here), I am so happy that Mattel has modified the prototype to Farrah’s likeness. The face shape, the chin and mouth shape have been improved greatly. But if you see from her side profile, they have missed the little hooked nose shape of Farrah. Otherwise, this Mattel Farrah rocks!

(Could not imagine that this horrible default hair could turned out to be great Farrah iconic look)
The face has most of the Farrah look except the nose
Happy Results of the Operations
This doll is black label so the price is friendly. After her arrival, I could not help but cut off the string that tied her hair immediately, and relaxed it with my fingers. Out of my surprise, the hairstyle turned out to be fantastic. The volume of the hair seems to be right too! Her head is humongous on that not so articulated body, which is molded according to Farrah’s famous poster (oh…where are her nipples, by the way?) So, I transplanted her to Natalia’s body of Fashion Royalty, and also tried her head on the Cuban girl of HotToys (review here) (need to work a little bit on the neck joint). There is slightly skin tone deviation on both cases but not so noticeable with naked eyes! Each body gives this Farrah doll different life! The FR one could turn this doll into a fashion icon, while the Cuban girl could help to recreate the famous scenes of Jill Monroe in “Charlie’s Angels”. You can see the difference between the two from the snap shots here. I wish I would have more time to do some proper shots in the near future. For the time being, I am content with what I did!
My best Attempt of Bringing Jill Monroe Back!
Don’t Mess With Me!

Noel Cruz’s Stunning OOAK Farrah
It is always so amazing to see how people would OOAK/repaint Farrah dolls (previous entry here) Noel Cruz, my talented OOAK hero, has done another breath taking magic on this doll. When I saw the stunning pictures of this OOAK on FB, my eyes were full of tears! Thank you so much for bringing our Farrah back to life again, Noel!!! This OOAK Farrah bid ended at US1,681 on eBay!

Darius is always my favor face mold together with Lukas of FR’s Homme series. I have 3 of them and all are OOAK by Chewin. I have blogged one of them here when I interviewd Chewin (click here), and since someone inquired my hard-to-find High & Mighty Darius, I took the chance to picture it with another blonde Darius!

It is only 3.5 months since 2011 has started but Cholo has been giving me nice suprises one after the other! I received these 3 pieces OOAK from Cholo last week – (1) An assymetric tulle blue gown that show the long legs and sexy female body curve,(2) a upper body dripping beading ornate, and (3) a rock jeans with lots of details. I only gave Cholo a blurry comparison picture of Deva vs. Avant Guard. Then he could guess the exact measurement of Deva Doll as if he had a Deva doll on hand!
I don’t know how to describe the items but I guess my pictures would tell you all the details!
