head for Parabox 110㎝ body
head for 80㎝ OTOHIME body
They can stand by themselves and make human-like poses. We recommend to use a stand for long-time standing.
〇How to connect the back of the head and neck of the 110 cm body
To connect the head and neck of the 110 cm body, cover the protruding part ① of the neck with the back of the head ②.
Push the protruding part of the neck connection part into the square gap and join it (warm it with a dryer to soften it).
After that, cover the protruding protrusion with the fixing cap ③ to prevent it from coming off.
〇 Connection between the face side and the back of the head
There are strong magnets on the face side④ and the back side of the head. Those magnets have them stay together.
（★ indicate where the magnet is located）
Set velcro on the left and right ears to further secure the facial parts.(Ｂ and Ｃ)。
Also, set velcro tape on the front and back of the head to hold wig better. (A and Ｄ）
You can move your face downward and upward by moving the vertical hole ⑤ of the back of the head vertically and the protruding part of the neck part
〇 The connection between the head and neck of the 80 cm Otohime body is fixed by pushing the neck protrusion on the body side into the neck hole at the bottom of the head part.
Both the 80 cm body and the 110 cm body can rotate the face back and forth and left and right.
The joint parts are also made of soft vinyl. The body is designed to take almost the same pose as the human body.
（No screws or hard resin is used.）Soft vinyl has the property of being softened by heat, so it is hard in winter and loosens in summer. Please avoid warm places.
Posing
It is possible to pose independently for a short time without a doll stand, but for a long time, the weight may cause the lower leg to deform.
If you would like to keep them standing, please use a doll stand for 110 cm and 80 cm bodies.
〇Eyes
Secure the doll eye before attaching the face. In order to fix eye with the eye hole inside the face, temporarily fix it with putty etc. and fix it with glue or epoxy putty. Even if the glue or putty hardens, the soft vinyl will not adhere completely. The next time you replace it, you can easily remove it.
〇Wig
After attaching the face parts, attach the velcro so that it straddles the back of the head and the face parts.
And then put the wig on it.
Adjusting the position of the wig's bangs
To have the shorter bangs, slide back the wig cap up of the wig, and to make it longer, lower the wig cap.
(see pictures)
Face-up
We recommend acrylic paint for face-up.
You can also use pastels and colored pencils.
〇 About soft vinyl products
soft vinyl(PVC) is a plastic resin product used in Kewpie dolls and Barbie dolls. soft vinyl has thermal properties that make it soft when warm in summer and hard when it gets cold in winter.
In addition, sunlight deteriorates soft vinyl, so avoid direct sunlight as much as possible (there is no sudden yellowing like resin products).
If it is fixed with the force still applied, it may be deformed by the weight, but it will return to its original state when heat is applied with a dryer.
Soft vinyl has the disadvantage that dyes such as clothes react with plasticizers (softening components) in the resin, and the color moves deeply to the inside of the soft vinyl and cannot be removed.
The darker the color, such as black, the more noticeable the color transfer will be. To avoid being left undressed for a long time, please dress them in a light color that is close to white.
（There is no problem as long as you can temporarily wear it for shooting etc. and take it off immediately.）
Oil stains from bear hands can be easily removed simply by soaking thinners such as light removal solution into a cloth or tissue and wiping them lightly.
We sell tights to prevent color transfer.
The head for the 110cm body uses a neo-mag magnet with strong magnetic force to fix the face part and the back part head.
（One piece is glued to the back side of the forehead of the face part / one piece is glued to the back side of the forehead of the back part.）
Neo-Mag requires specific warnings, such as the impact on people using medical devices such as cardiac pacemakers, and accidental ingestion by infants (there have been cases of accidents involving organ rupture in internal organs).While the head is repeatedly knocked down or glued, the neo-mag may peel off and fall off. It is dangerous if it is left as it is. Please be careful when handling it.
