Gacktesque Doll

I would like to get into the hobby of ball-jointed dolls, but so far it's out of my price range, but I know a lot of our members are into it, and I'm always looking for a Gackt-like doll.



This is pretty close, ne?  This is a limited Super Dollfie, made by Volks, to some the premier maker of ball-jointed dolls, Ryoya Konoe even comes with jewelry!

*post edit* I wouldn't be surprised if they were using the face mold from the exquisite Heian-Era (Hikaru Genji) doll from last year's special edition, for you who like Gackt as Uesugi Kenshin

If you are into any hobby or craft that's Gackt-related, let us know!
(other than making Gackt paper dolls, I am trying to figure on whether to make Gackt Chibi plush dolls, or BJD's)

Why not try modeling a bust of Gackt in low-fire pottery? Then, for eerie lifelike appearance, you can make a two-part plaster mold , cast it in way, and set in glass eyes. I did stuff like that years ago, when I used to work with an antique dealer and learned a bit about repairing antique dolls.
