(reroot) Chara Talk Eternal Sailor Moon
Saved the best for last! This is one of my most beloved SM dolls and I have wanted to reroot her for years, mostly because her bangs (like most Bandai Japan SM dolls made after the third season) were annoying but also because I felt she would benefit from having longer hair and a less crooked, lumpy parting lol. She's also one of the hardest SM dolls to find so I didn't want to attempt to reroot her myself until I had more experience, and I'm glad I waited because she required an entirely new rooting pattern, from a relocated parting to a new hairline. I used basically none of the original holes for this reroot. Before/After:
I'm pretty proud of her! Her thatching is excellent, hairline could have been better but I'm happy with her nonetheless. In LOVE with the bangs, probably my favorite bangs I've ever curled on an SM doll.
I also prepared a new outfit for her, using a combination of pieces from multiple Eternal Sailor Moon dolls and then dressed her up!
The base fuku is from the Sailor Moon World DX set doll (whom I rerooted here) but with the bow, brooch and wings from the Excellent Pose ESM doll. I think the boots are also from Excellent Pose but I can't remember lol Super in love with her and happy to finally have my own version of the perfect ESM doll completed for my collection. I do have some other SM dolls in my reroot queue (including one that is on the way to me right now) but this was the final doll in my collection that absolutely NEEDED a reroot so I'm probably going to take a break from doing SM reroots for the time being.
