I love how you made her look more like the game version as opposed to the Angelina Jolie version. Extra internet cookies for you!

Wow absolutely gorgeous! I have a few questions about repainting, just out of curiosity (if you wouldn't mind answering):
How exactly do you go about painting dolls like Tonners? By that, I mean do you use clearcoats like MSC over their permanent make-up to paint on? And does it remove easily? (I'm assuming this girl and others like her are made of hard vinyl, like Dollfie Dream or Obitsu).
Anyway, she's very pretty. Makes me want to repaint. ^^

From what I hear, although Tonners are indeed made from hard vinyl, the clear coat sprays can get tricky. I was told not to use MSC, specifically, and I haven't, but I DO use Volks Zoukei-Mura SD UV-cut spray [link] I haven't had a problem with it so far, and I've had Tonner's sealed with it for up to a year. I was told that MSC will cloud over over time, but I suspect that since Volks made their spray specifically for dolls, they might have made it so it would work with their Dollfie Dream heads as well as the resin heads. The factory makeup for Tonners can be fairly easily removed using Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (don't get the kind with the cleaner solution already in it) and Winsor Newton paint thinner. Any sort of paint you apply should come off easily too. Always put down a base coat of the clear coat after removing factory makeup, so that when you go to paint, there's less of a chance of staining (which I've rarely had a problem with). If you wanted to try painting, I suggest this tutorial [link] it's not for Tonners, per say, but it's very nice, and helpful.

Thanks! What's nice about fashion dolls is that I can paint super detailed lips, amongst other things, and it doesn't look weird and overdone like it generally does on BJDs.

Though, I would have recommended Victoria. The repaints I've seen of her (the nice ones at least) have gone for way more. Plus I'm just a sucker for all the crazy red hair. >_>

Beautiful details, baby. Fuckin' beautiful. I MEAN.... I can't tell it's Lara Croft. Where's the T&A.
