Because Frank’s head [SD 16 Yukinojo] came on Saturday, I’ve been thinking about him recently. I wiped his paint last night [hideous under-the-lip blushing!] and drafted a face-up on a print-out of the unpainted head. Then I harvested bits and pieces from various photos to create a mock-up of Frank on an Afghan body.<\/p>\n
Boy…did he look pathetic. Afghan’s body has the right height and flexibility, but she’s so scrawny. She looks like a 12-year-old girl that hit her growth spurt before puberty. She’s painfully thin. As I looked at the mock-up, I realized that I couldn’t use her as a base.<\/p>\n
My latest idea for Frank’s body is the Iplehouse long-legged masc body,<\/a> shown here in tan skin. Great things about the Iplehouse body include: a) idealized, muscular physique; b) double-jointed elbows and knees; c) neat handsculpts; d) cheaper compared to getting a whole Afghan; e) no microcephalic Afghan head to get rid of!<\/p>\n The only cons are a) it’s a masc body and b) it’s shorter than Haund. Some creative shirt-stuffing<\/a> should take care of a), and platform boots should take care of b). I should make Frank wear all the platforms and Jareth wear all the flats.<\/p>\n I wish that the new Dollfie Dream body with the porn star hooters was scaled up to Afghan’s height. No, better yet, I wish one of the doll companies would make a body like that of a female comic-book character: tall, muscular and well-endowed, with exaggerated curves. But Haund will never have a sex change and lift weights, so…sigh…<\/p>\n Oh yeah…and if anyone wonders what kind of doll I’m trying to make here with all this different parts, I refer you to the concept of the [anatomically impossible and endlessly fascinating] mythological hermaphrodite.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Because Frank’s head [SD 16 Yukinojo] came on Saturday, I’ve been thinking about him recently.
