When I first made Qingting, a Hun type vampire and associate of Chow Bang, she was an American Girl Girls of Many Lands doll on a cut-down Obitsu body, but I didn’t like that because it was too tall and the arm fastenings too frail. I now have a new body for her, closer to her original height of 9". See photo below for how I transferred her original torso, hands and feet onto a 23cm Obitsu framework.
The next photo shows another GOML I’ve worked on recently. She was original a Yupik Native Alaskan character, Minuk, but she has now been repurposed and rearticulated to be Maggie, Absinthe’s sort-of niece.

I admire how you re-work your doll and action figure bodies. Most I’ve done in this vein is to pop heads off inadequate bodies and light paint adjustments. Thanks for sharing your photos.
Someday ….
Hi!
I was wondering if you ended up using an Obitsu body again for the Minuk rebody? Or was it a different body? If it was different do you mind sharing what body it was? Thanks!
Yes, I did end up using an Obitsu body for Minuk. And here’s my latest attempt at adding articulation to GOMLs: http://oddpla.net/modernwizard/2021/09/12/qingting-is-back/
