Got the BTS dolls V and Jung Kook since they had the closest faces to the characters I'm going to use them for. Ordered them online since I didn't care that much how off the paint placement was but still a little sad I can't salvage much of it. LA's Totally Awesome did a good job getting rid of whatever product was in their hair, tho.

Tried to remove V's face first. Took 20min with a magic eraser just to get that much off his eye. :/ The rest is on the eye surface and underside of the lash line, so I'll just paint over it.

Luckily his lips seemed to only be two paint layers deep, so it took only a few minutes.

Will definitely be getting more of these boys when they go on sale if only for the sculpts alone.

So tumblr ate my post.

ANYWAY

Acetone doesn't work. Maybe soaking it might've, but I didn't want to risk shrinking/warping the head to find out.

A dab of Winsor & Newton brush cleaner, on the other hand, works very well. Even made it easier to magic eraser off the remaining bits. :)

Wonder if the gloss was what was resisting the acetone or the sort of paint they used. Maybe both.

Here's my newly finished Cleo that I thrifted missing an arm, so I made her a prosthetic clipped off a discount Frankie. I always liked the sculpting on those limbs despite the lack of joints. I attached the arm by carving a slot in her arm and attaching it with an eye screw and pin.

I didn't touch her face, just added some details with paint pens. I'm not yet confident enough to use them to detail the shoes.

That being said, I'm happy how she came out, especially her arm and hair (which swooped nicely on it's own).

I hope to start posting more of my dolls here in the future!

You know what? It’s really like that sometimes.
