Laura Art x Toycity produces some highly stylized blind box figures of little kids with different themes. I got a few from the Passion Fruit series and the Pool Fight series, with the goal of repainting at least one and putting the head on a more articulated body. Results below.
I started off with Kiwi from the Passion Fruit series. With braids like that, she was asking to be made into a character with brown skin!A default Cute Fruit Grape Laura [left] compared to my custom [right]. I cut Kiwi’s braids shorter, drilled a larger hole in the head, and did a full [messy] repaint. Bringing down the eyebrows and bringing up/shrinking the eyes makes the sculpt look older. Trust me–the doll looks fine when I’m not doing a super closeup with my camera! Anyway, Hillian, as she is now called, is on a Mattel Barbie Extra Mini body, wearing Mattel Kelly shirt and shoes. She’s now 5″ high.
