Project: Obitsu March 2015

Like Let's Joe!, this month's Project: Obitsu entry has been delayed by the same life drama crap. That's just as well though because it gave me time to reassess what I had planned and come up with something different. First of all, this is my first attempt at posting images from my iPhone camera to this blog. Second, this reintroduces a character not seen in my corner of the "blogosphere" in quite a while with her first new photo shoot in over two years.

Claire is an Obitsu 27 cm SB 2 body with a pre-painted W 02 "Pinkie" head. Once upon a time, she had an active online presence with her own blog and appearances at various message boards. Life changes, time moves on and the ability to maintain an "in character" online life for a doll diminished considerably. Anyway, here she is after an extended absence.

Most of Claire's outfit came from a couple of early Dragon female action figures. The first generation Dragon female body bore more than a passing resemblance to the Volks Dollfie (1/6 scale) of the time. Consequently, their clothes tend to fit Dollfie/Super Action Jenny sized bodies pretty well.  Her t-shirt is from Winona, an NYPD sniper, while the pants and boots come from the often hard to find "Hit Team" figure of HK actress Jo Kuk. The jacket is an early Azone piece that I had wanted for years and finally found on eBay a couple years ago. While not part of the fabled Azone Combat Gear line, it uses the camo pattern from one ACG outfit and so integrates well with those items. I would love to find the pants and field coat in this same pattern but that's about as likely as finding adamantium plated unobtainium Jabberwocky teeth!

Finally, here's a shot I took and posted to Instagram a few days ago:
