#hujoo

Here are a few photos I took of my Hujoo Sleepy Wings, before I repaint him, for the third time (if memory serves). I am thinking about remaking his wig as well. I named him Coconut, after a faux-fur wig I got for him originally. I thought it was the cutest color in the world and reminded me of my favorite toasted coconut flavor. So, I named him that, Coco for short.

He probably needs new elastic. That's the second shirt I made for him, and the single pair of shorts I ever made him. I need to sew more often for all my dolls in general. I suck at it, but I mostly own dolls no one loves, so it's kind of a pain finding clothes (and shoes) that fit. Lol!

He was made by a Korean brand named Hujoo, that seemed to have just disspeared out of nowhere. I recall pestering the Junky Spot for them to carry Hujoo. After a while, they finally brought them in, states side. I always wanted an opened eyed Wings, but by the time I got mine, they had the Sleepy-eyed version, and I am a sucker for narrow eye shapes in dolls! I thought I could always get a regular opned-eyed Wings later... DX

That was a huge mistake. Hujoo kept delaying releasing more of them, after selling out and even having tanned versions. They kept saying to wait a while, but the waiting never stopped (kind of like Latidoll, when I kept asking about SP Laches, a while ago). I also regret never getting their OG Hujoo female, which was their namesake doll, that I stumbled upon and was the reason I bothered JS, to bring them as a retailer. Oh well, I can't go back in time now, can I? These were made out of ABS, but are fully strung. I need to either restring mine, or purchase new elastic for him. He's super floppy. I recall someone on DoA having serious trouble getting elastic for their Hujoo doll, I can't recall which sculpt exactly, but I can't say I am looking forward to finding out how hard it's going to be for me to find some. Living in a touristy town, with all stores closing left and right. T___T;;

Here we have a real blast from the past, a Hujoo Girl in apricot skin! I remember these dolls from when I got into the hobby back in 2011, they were a real staple as a budget friendly BJD company. She's not made of resin, but ABS plastic instead. It's a pity they are no longer around, the dolls were really cute!

The client did warn me that she was a little scratched up around the lips from a past faceup removal, which did become apparent when I was blushing her. But overall I think she turned out lovely.

I’ll get better pics some other time.

Went for a light, minimalist kind of faceup this time.

Happy Valentine's day!
