Jau's dolls

I got this girl back in march and she was one of my most anticipated dolls! I spent awhile gathering my thoughts on her and I can say that she’s definitely one of my favorite dolls in my collection! The second that I saw her i loveddd her design, but after seeing her in person that feeling grew and I’m just beyond happy to have her! From my perspective Mahiru has a very gentle and sweet personality. But at times she can be lost in her own thoughts. She reminds me a bit of Madoka from Madoka Magica, but I think it’s mostly the hair color😭 Unlike Saki I don’t have many complaints about Mahiru. I only have two. The first is that some of her bows were glued on and it’s pretty obvious. When I first opened her I had to cut a bunch of dried strings of adhesive off of her dress, it was a bit annoying. She also had a bunch of loose threads on her dress that I had to trim down. The second issue I have with Mahiru is an issue that I also have with Saki and it’s that her stringing isnt’t the best. Her arms struggle to hold poses and her legs are super tight so they’re pretty kicky. It’s a bit annoying when I’m trying to pose her to take pictures of her. Despite that I love her design and overall I’m super happy to have her. She’s very quickly become one of my favorite dolls! I have no interest in redressing her just yet, but I was thinking about fixing up her hair a bit. I love the original style, but I’m not a huge fan of how her hair sits. It’s curly so it gets tangled super easy and it’s pretty frizzy. I have other dolls with curly hair that I’ve been able to manage, but her hair refuses to cooperate. I have no clue what type of hair she has since in general I’m pretty bad at identifying doll hair and it feels a bit different from the other dolls in my collection. But I was hoping to tame the ends a bit somehow. I was thinking maybe a minor boil wash but i wouldn’t want to melt her hair😭 Hopefully I can get her ends to settle a bit! Mahiru and Saki arrived together so I’ve been displaying them together and they’re just so precious! I think at some point I’ll take some pictures of them together, it’d be super cute.
