Colette, the Astronaut Girl♥

[Tasuke]

I Had this Doll as a young boy back in the mid/late-80's~very-early-90's or so.

Recently, i've wanted to get her back... but not as a Cabbage Patch Kid.
i found one for cheap enough... planning to fit the Suit to my 1/4 IMOMODOLL Yuna,
and that would've looked just Adorable♥

Unfortunately; there was NO WAY the Spacesuit was about to fit poor Yuna.

disappointed, but not Defeated... i made lemonade from lemons;
I tracked down a lovely-faced, Porcelain Bisque-headed Precious Moments doll, that, while having a body MUCH too small,
her head did end up convincingly fit over onto another soft doll body that i found...
one that the Spacesuit fits quite well on, lightly-modified;

Found a Body that Works Out for her... care of this Holiday PM Girl~

Successfully Grafted the previous PM doll's (Colette) Porcelain Bisque head
onto the body of the Vinyl-headed X-Mas-themed Girl;

Good job!!

That worked out really well. Seems like a lot of hard work but it paid off. The doll is adorable!

I Irreversibly shifted Colette's head over onto an "American Girl" Knock-Off "My Life As" 18in. Doll Body... And she Did NOT turn out to my Satisfaction.

So, Lesson Learned; DON'T Mess with Perfection. i Located Another ASHTON-DRAKE PM "You Can Always Spot A True Friend" Doll...
- this one New in Box even - and Restored Her back to all of her Adorable ♥Little-Miss-Astronaut♥ Glory for Keeps this time~

Kinda Sorta~

It is interesting to see the evolution of and the iterations of your astronaut girls. I've been working on updates to characters as well, so I can relate to the idea of changing little bits here and there that possibly nobody else would notice, but that seem significant to us. Sometimes just a little tweak here or there is enough to bring a character or figure in to closer alignment with our "vision." Other times, a major rebuild from the ground up, so to speak, is required.

And as you know, sometimes the results of our meddling have us wishing we'd left well enough alone!

I like your astronettes! They're adorably cute!
