My doll head and wig arrived :)

Today, my package has arrived and quite shockingly, it was two instead of one. I thought that the wig will arrived first but this is better since I can plan what to do with both.
Here is the mail :)

Inside the package
Obitsu Head
This package that contain the head come from Japan. It was quite okay, they're taking a lot of time before sending the package but it still arrived under one month so I'm still okay with it.

 I really like the anime style sculpt. Although her eye hole is a bit smaller than what I want, I can mod it easily later.
This Obitsu White is not paper white, under some light, a bit yellowish tint tone can be see. 



Code for Obitsu Designer Head
Code in head is usually used for authenticity or to know what kind of head sculpt it is. Some company even used metal plate for the code (and some is used to avoid recast).

Inside Headcap
The hole inside is used to attach with the neck. If you have closed eye head like mine, you can cut the eye hole and insert eye from the inside. Some
small head may not come with headcap so some people cut the head wig line themselves. 


Overall, I'm quite satisfied with this head, quality is great, like skin color and the sculpt is pretty great. I buy from one of the Amazon.com store seller, the head price become twice the original price (USD17.86 + shipping USD11.13 from Japan) (original 1050 yen = USD10.25) , but since I used gift card, I don't use my money, but if you're going to buy one, I suggest to buy somewhere out there with reasonable price. (It just that there is no BJD store around me and so I'm forced to buy from Amazon.com)

Light Brown Wig

From the picture, you can tell that it is actually a human wig. Why I'm buying human wig instead of BJD wig? Because it is cheaper this way! I wanted to make my doll character have a long, beautiful brown hear, around her waist or more and to find a quality wig for BJD expensive, the cheapest I have seen is $15 from faux fur and I don't like it so much.


Wig and Head
Not only that, if your doll head is quite irregular in size, you can make one that will fit perfectly with your doll head. Or maybe you can make a style or wig color that is rarely sold in BJD shop.
But if you want hassle-free, buying a ready BJD wig option is good too.



I get this wig for USD6.86 including shipping and it was long light brown synthetic hair. The wig have a bit reddish tone for a light brown hair but I can still tolerate it. My only complain is some hair has fallen of the wig and I shouldn't comb it frequently. I'm not sure where this wig come from, when I bought it, Amazon said the seller is from China but the mail is from Singapore. Either way, this is a great purchase for the price and quality.


And that's it. Overall, I'm so happy and I just can't wait to finish my first BJD soon. But all of this project, faceup, resizing wig, etc have to wait till around late December since I have lot of work and test to do. Meanwhile, I will write other information and if other items arrive, I will write about it.
