Seren, kindergarten Kun-kun on a 2D Doll new body. Was cleaning my cupboard and re-dressed a couple of the tinies. Rompers make easy one-piece outfits!

Seren, kindergarten Kun-kun on a 2D Doll new body. Was cleaning my cupboard and re-dressed a couple of the tinies. Rompers make easy one-piece outfits!
Making ponchos, and practicing embroidery stitches.

My two sleeping beauties: Laurie, a Volks Yo-SD Anne Sweet Dream from 2006, and Seren, a kindergarten Kun-kun head circa 2020, on a temporary Pettimal body. His open-eyed face-plate, below, is a kindergarten Xing-xing, and his adorable outfit is by 暖暖暖薄荷 (official English name: Melting Mint).
More of this little guy, I am enjoying him so much! Looking forward to when his 2D Doll body arrives and I can play with him together with Soo (he's borrowing Soo's body for now).
Baby Soo helps me welcome kindergarten 醒醒 and 困困
I ordered these a while ago as the sculptor had a few pieces leftover from the first pre-order. It was a delight to have them arrive in beautifully gift-wrapped little boxes. ^-^ Under the wrap were translucent plastic boxes similar to other independent sculptors’ packaging (e.g. ASAI and Mia).
Both head and face-plate came with tooth parts and were well-wrapped in drawstring bags. The 醒醒 (Xing-xing) full head additionally came with an adorable COA styled as a graduation certificate!
Translated, the certificate reads, “Congratulations on your graduation from Dan-dan’s (蛋蛋) kindergarten! This warm family will remember your happy childhood years. We hope you will continue to grow well. Wishing you continued good fortune and happiness! with love from kindergarten principal, signed 蛋蛋”, and there’s a space for the “parent” to sign below. XD
The head itself is on the small side for a 1/6-scale BJD - about the same size as Smile Soo, but with slightly more delicate features. The resin I chose is supposedly colour-matched to “2017 Mia normal pink”. It’s not very pink, and is actually pretty close to Smile Soo, who is Mia's 2019 new normal shade, just a bit paler and less peach (compare with Soo’s headcap on the right side of the photo below). The resin is matte and very solid.
The head fits perfectly on the 1/8-scale Daisy BJD body which I had ordered for Soo with a custom neck size, but I also have a 2D Doll body on order for it. I chose 2D Doll mainly because they make the shortest 1/6-scale body that I know of, and I’ve also seen a Xing-xing on a 2D Doll body who is super cute. I’ll have to wait for the 2D Doll body to arrive before I decide which head gets which body on a permanent basis. I have plans for the two of them, Soo and Xing-xing/ Kun-kun, to be the littlest ones in my crew, and kindergarten-mates~
I hope everyone has been keeping well in these trying times.
... It's a good thing I have plenty of this peach pointelle fabric, to fuel my romper-sewing adventures.
(I cut Soo's hair again for the Nth time, this wig just has too many wefts!! He is wearing that beanie to re-shape the ruffled wig.)
[Seren (short brown hair) is a kindergarten Xing-xing head on a 2D Doll new boy body. Sui (blonde ponytail) is a Volks Kanon. The black-haired boy is a Soo Smile by Mia, on a 1/8-scale Daisy BJD body.]
I didn't expect to like Kun-kun (sleepy-eyed face) more than Xing-xing (open-eyed), but I do! He was so easy to paint, especially around his beautifully sculpted eyes. This little one has wormed his way into my heart far more quickly than I had expected~
(NB. In the photo, Xing-xing doesn't have his eyelashes in yet.)
Quick casual snap: Xing-xing suddenly grew up!?... Baby Soo took his body back, and Xing-xing/ Kun-kun borrowed Sasha's body instead. I'm hoping that his final body will be about a centimetre shorter than this.
