Hi, Kathy & Pat:
Thanks, Pat for the links. I had seen them when I was trying to decide whether to get an Obitsu. I thought the one with the McKenzie makeover was beautiful. She has a "regular" body. I got a "glamor" body and am trying to decide which head to get for her. I have found a place in Canada which sells them. It will be my first attempt at facial painting. In the meantime I have stuck a Mattel head on her. Here's a link to her:

LOL the body is something else! And we thought Candi was busty! Pretty cool though. I wish we had more access to things that let you get this creative. I am not brave enough to go through the headaches of searching for stuff in Japan.
