The Akiko head is not really up to snuff. It is also hindered by a terrible hair style (everyone in the movie besides Scarlett had terrible hair actually). It does have something though. I wonder if anyone has improved the Akiko head? I bet the following would make it much better:
1. Remove the hair and replace it with any Classified female hair. 2. Carefully acetone off the eyeliner on the lower eye. 3. *Or go ham on the eyeliner and make them real thick for a more Kabuki look. Has anyone done any of the above? I don't have the head, if you have one lying around, please see if the above improve it. |

Adventure, I don’t have Akiko in hand but I’ve entertained similar thoughts about possible potential, but decided against trying. If you remove the hair, I suspect there would be an unsightly forehead shelf beneath, making any hair pieces without the same bangs shape completely incompatible (without careful sculpting and paint). Let us know if you try it. At least she is on sale lately. You wouldn’t be out too much $ if you tried.

Thanks for the comment. She is not cheap around here unfortunately. I think removing her lower eyeliner would be an easy winner if you don't want to mess with the hair.

If you liked short straight hair the xialing figure from the shang chi line could work to swap hair. Where I am at that one is on clearance.

I wonder if you can just pop Xialing's head onto her. Maybe the heads would look better on each other's bodies.

It's finally happened. Threads are turning into bots just talking to each other.
