Changing the Body and Scalp on a Custom Blythe Doll For a Wig

This customer wanted to make some changes to her custom Blythe doll and there was a surprise modification I didn't expect.

Thanks for another great tutorial. This was just what I needed to understand how to work with the scalp/dome I purchased for my Blythe to be able to wear wigs. Brilliant hack on securing the body insertion point! 😎 Thank you!

Another fun and interesting video. ;-) This is the first time I had seen a Blythe Head on a different doll type body. I would have been worried about the ears too.

Wow! That certainly was different.... I was on the edge hoping you could fix that faceplate 😳😳 nice job! 😉👍🏻

It is always fascinating to see what you are going to find inside and what you do about it. I have several antique dolls that had to have unusual repairs because of the way someone else had tried to repair them. Thanks for another interesting video. Hope you weather clears up.

Thanks! When I originally set out to document these customer requests I thought they may be boring, but they've turned out to each be an adventure. :)

A great video that I found really helpful. Thank you for sharing.

Great video as always : ) there is a plastic part that they sell for the neck i wonder if that would also work ?

[@pixiegirl33]

That was the first thing I thought too. So many people add a new neck joint to help the head be more mobile, I wondered if that would work. Of course, I'm watching this 3 years in the future, so I'm not sure if that was a thing then.

Can you do a video on how to fix a body that might be too loose around the neck? I've got a Creatable World body that works well for a boy Blythe, but rubber bands aren't really enough to keep the head from wobbling.

[@BeBeDolls]

Unfortunately unless I have the same body here to work with I'm not sure a video would be much help because the majority of the bodies I work with are fixed with rubberbands. Maybe hot glue or apoxie? If I come across one I'll definitely document it.
