Mimi actually arrived last week, she wasn’t quite what I was expecting but I think that was kind of my own fault as I only had two pictures and a very brief description to go on. For the price I essentially got her for though I am not going to start to complain (I traded about $200 worth of gundam kits and a broken eva kit for her) She actually appears to be the first rendition of Mimi that was exclusive to Doll Party 5 way back in 2001, I am basing this assumption on her paperwork (it is all in Japanese but has 5 written in several places and the first Mimi was an exclusive to Doll Party 5) and her box which does not look like the renewal or the 2nd edition. I am honestly not sure if this is her stock face up or a custom job, I tried looking for pictures online but I wasn’t really able to find many besides Volks photos or customized Mimis. I guess, it doesn’t really matter if it is her stock face up or not though as she is getting customized. My intention as outlined in this post is turn her into Utena of Revolutionary Girl Utena.
I think her face structure will be perfect for Utena. Unfortunately her face up will have to be redone as it is a bit loud for Utena (it actually reminds me quite a bit of Pullip Wind’s face up). The wig I ordered for her was too small for her massive head so instead of having a baldie laying around until she can get customized I did a trade with Requiemart for her current wig (Kindle stole the Utena wig). One of her hands became detached during shipping, I still need to figure out how to reattach it ^^; . She is currently borrowing clothes/shoes from my dollfie dreams.
While I do kind of like her as is, she kind of made me reach the conclusion that Yo-SD or smaller bjds are the right size for me. For the larger girls I really prefer my dollfie dreams. I have had a hell of a time handling her so far, I think she may be strung too tight as she “kicks” quite a bit. I will probably try and restring her soon as it gets very frustrating very quickly when I am trying to photograph her.
Where do I buy Pullip?

I look forward to seeing her transformed into Utena!
It might take a while I got eight dolls out right now for customization as well as an in pieces doll on my desk that all need to get tackled before I start working on her.
holy crap, I wish I could get a resin dollfie that cheap x_X It doesn’t look like she has yellowed at all either, they must have kept her out of the sun.
It was plain luck on my part. I got a call from the previous owner (we’re not really friends, he was friends with my ex and he was always kind of creeper ^^;) because a mutual friend had said something about me collecting large dolls. Apparently he had bought her years prior for his girlfriend at the time, but something went sour before he could give it to her so he stuffed Mimi in his closet and kind of forgot about her until he went to move recently and found her. He basically just wanted to trade her for something he had a use for namely my Gundam kits.
