Update on Basaak doll and my first WWE doll

I finally got the original doll wig cap back on my Basaak doll. I curled it too. She is so cute in every style. I love her owl like eyes and bought her a Beanie Baby owl with golden eyes to love and to hold. The hair was not as thick as on the Blythe or Icy doll but still it is cute. 
 It is rainy outside so the flash keeps going off when I take her picture. The doll's body is not high quality. I found that the click knees really don't work at all. But she can raise her arms straight out to the sides besides up and down. I am a fan of the all jointed body, but the jointed body doesn't stand as well as she does for sure.
 A little scalp is showing from different angles. And the blue back plate I painted her. If you haven't seen the back plate click here.
 This bruise mark wasn't on her when I got her. I put whitening toothpaste on it for a couple of days, trying to get it out. I  think it is the wire inside her leg that is supposed to make her bendable. Still she wears most Barbie shoes. I collect Barbie shoes, so that was really fun.
 I actually bought this doll to see if I could customize my own doll. So she was my experiment doll. I feel attachment kicking in every time I look at her big eyes.
 I really would like to try some of the epoxy sculpting next. Maybe I can give a doll pointy ears like an elf?
 She just is telling me elf is not really her style. She's a fairy and needs cute wings or something.
 Today I got home and received this lovely Becky Lynch doll. The package got wet even in the mail box but I didn't mind. I didn't get her to keep her in a box. This doll is like a Barbie but with a very athletic body. I was attracted to the fact they are jointed at least in the elbows and knees. Her orange hair will be a nice addition to the Barbie collection I am building. 
Becky doll can be found on Amazon for under 10 dollars right now. I love her cute outfit. She fits right in with my Barbie kitchen and could be a Barbie friend. The only noticeable thing about Becky is she has big feet but stands on her on without a stand.
 The WWE dolls have more variety in their face sculpts too. I love the many features I have seen online and in other reviews about the dolls. 
 As far as I can tell the only way to get a collection of shoes is to buy more dolls. I think that would be called a complimentary product. I noticed that some of the doll packs have 2 outfits and 2 pairs of shoes but the price is much higher. 
I tried some fashion shoes that go with 16 inch fashion dolls like Tonner and her feet are too wide. She is bigger than Liv doll or Monster High doll shoes also. She is even bigger than Zeenie dollz and jointed Blythe doll shoes. This means I am going to have to collect some dolls to get the variety of shoes and colors I love. At least the doll's sculpts are more varied than the Made to Move Barbies. I know there are quite a few of them but the Millie sculpt is usually the best price and more common. 
I can't wait till Thanksgiving. I want to spend more time with my dolls and crafts. I could really use a break from work. I'll post some pictures of my Minerva doll perhaps. Minerva is going to be the head of the arts college for the ladies in my diorama. They all like different kinds of arts and music. Some sports are okay too. I like my Barbies to be in great shape, but I do think yoga is more my style.
