Reroot: Sonokong 14" Sailor Moon
Think this might be my favorite reroot I've ever done and one of my favorite partial customs!
She got a full reroot including a fully corrected hairline, re-centered parting and brand new organized rooting pattern
As well as some repainting on her boots, odango shields and accessories both to add extra detailing and to switch out all of the reds and mismatched pinks to one consistent shade of magenta across the board, to make her look a little more put together than the original. I also gave her an Irwin Moon Stick because she came without a wand, and the Irwin one matches her scale better than the actual Irwin SM dolls lol This is how she looked before- still very cute, still one of the best vintage SM dolls ever made, but her hair was way too short and her rooting was awful lol 13" Sonokong Moon was one of my most coveted SM dolls growing up and while I've had her in my collection for a while now, I'm even more in love with her now that she has long hair and a more refined outfit and color scheme! Often when you buy a doll as an adult that you coveted as a child, you'll notice (or at least I do) some aspects of the doll don't quite live up to the idealized version of her that you had in your memory as a child, as result of growing up and refining your sense of taste and standards in dolls over the years, and it feels so fulfilling to have the skills to be able to take a doll and tweak her until she matches the version I had of her in my mind.
