There are a lot of websites
that offer instructions for customizing, remember to check out the LINKS page for more. Below are my own
instructions for several customizing projects.
Replace Hands
Articulated wrist and new hands. Cutting and Drilling Required
Reshaping Hands
For both the regular and poser dolls. No more Karate Chop.
Long Fingernails
Requires a steady hand. Not recommended for children's dolls.
Head Swap
(Barbie head to Cy body) This shows how to accommodate for an incompatible
neck post.
I've used this method on several different types of
dolls.
Dental Extraction
Removing the "toothy" grin that many Barbie dolls come with.
Mickey Mouse Ears
Can't have a trip to Disney without the perfect souvenir!
Tips Sharing a little of the knowledge that I have gained
during the
process of customizing.
