Choose a head size (Small, Medium and Large) and decide a head type (eye opening head or solid eyes head)
Choose a head size out of three sizes, which are L-BOcCLE, M-BOcCLE, and S-BOcCLE. Each size comes with both an eye opening head and a sold eyes head.
First detach the default head.
Unscrew the screw located on the back of the head using a Phillips driver
The picture shows solid eyes head.
Eye opening head is on the left and solid eyes head is on the right.
Set the neck on the opening of the front head part
For eye opening head, apply eye plate with eyes before setting the neck on the opening of the front head part and put the back part on and screw it.
L-BOcCLE head takes 10mm eyes
M-BOcCLE head takes 8mm eyes
S-BOcCLE head takes 6mm eyes
PARABOcCLE set comes with solid eyes head attached when you receive. If you are interested in using eye opening head, you need to remove the solid eyes head from the body.
Eye plate for Realistic eyes (left) Eye plate for Anime eyes(right)
Stick double sided tape on the plate and then set eyes on them.
For Realistic eyes, separate the front part and the back part of eyes using a cutter knife if needed. You can change the direction of eyes using the center dip of the plate.
For Anime eyes, use the eye plate with no dips. Set the eyes to be seen fully on head.
The head moves forward/backward or right/left due to how you set it.(the neck moves right/left, always. )
When the tip is set as not showing the hole, the neck moves forward/backwards.
When the tip is set as showing the hole, the neck tilts right/left.
◎Please note that the neck part (red circled in above pictures) may break with forced pressure to the wrong direction.

Arms and legs don't separate any more.
◎Please note that the red circled joints in above picture may break with forced pressure to the wrong direction.
Please be very careful.
If neck, shoulder joint or leg get loose, washers that come with body might be a help. Washer is 0.3mm thick.
Take the body apart and apply washer to arm or neck joint as the picture shows.
Put the parts back together. You will see joints are tighter with washwer applied. You can tighten legs the same way.
You can use some of Parabox soft vinyl heads with PARABOcCLE body using the neck part for soft vinyl heads (sold separately)
Open up the trunk part and set the neck part for soft vinyl heads.
Apply a soft vinly head. If it's too tight, warm up head to soften soft vinyl skin or cut up the neck opening a little bigger.
You can use Parabox S-Angela, Momo, Animal heads, Petite Fairy and Hikari with PARABOcCLE body.
Parabox offers eyes, eyeblows, and mouth decals.
Cut one of each for your preference.
Right after soaking in water, decal film will be separated from backing.
Slide the decal off the paper in order to place it on the appropriate eye position.
Use your finger or toothpick to shift it for adjustment. If decal film gets dry, add some water for smooth movement. When it is in the right position, use a Q-tip to absorb excess water.
When eyes are set in the right postion, remove moisture using cotton swab.
When they are all dry, you might want to spray top coat over decals from 30cm away, in order to protect decals, and make decals have a natural look.
