I finally managed to finish my OOAK doll similar to the Holala doll 🥳👍 Some time ago I found posts on Instagram with so-called fake Holala dolls – these are dolls from Aliexpress that have heads similar to Japanese Holala dolls. However, dolls from Aliexpress have much poorer makeup, glass eyes and terrible hair. I bought such a doll as a test and after some time I started customizing it. I took out her eyes because I made new ones from modeling clay and chips also from Aliexpress. I cut off and removed the handful of hair she had. This is what she looked like before applying makeup:
To remove the eyes and install new ones, I had to cut the doll’s head open, then I taped up the cut. I also made a wig from fur which I also bought on Aliexpress. When it comes to the wig pattern, I followed this fantastic tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B_bJT2ekPc The wig was a bit too big, but I glued it to the head and now it doesn’t fall off anymore. As usual, I painted the face with pastels and watercolor pencils and secured the whole thing with several layers of MSC. I also glued on false eyelashes. I took the dress from my Middie Blythe, it’s a bit too tight but I could fasten it 😅 I forgot – I changed her body to a slightly taller one, also from Aliexpress – now she’s the height of Holala or Xiaomi Monst dolls. This is what my beautiful Holala fake looks like
