Headplate Information
Regular Yos will have the Dolpa it is from and the date
Yo Tenshi will have L#### on the headplate. The number says which number doll it was in the series. So L0010 would be the tenth of that particular tenshi made.

Quick find info in the thread:
How hard is it to get Tenshis?
I also suggest using the find in this thread option this really helps.

DollZwise Tiggy looks cute with her new Rabbit, Fiver Can' wait to see the finished Birkenstock slippers

JennyNemesis Cute photo of your boys
Yup Yos are so much more hefty than DD-Anne tinies. Though both are fun in their own way.


The mouth corners on Juninha were annoying me to no end. So temporary remedy until I can send her for a new faceup. I erased the line very carefully with a fine brush then repainted in lips in acrylic then reglossed. I had her try on another wig and some other clothes. Not sure about this look on her.

[bakayaro onna]

So many photos and I do not have time to comment on them all. LOVE all the pic spam!!!


Nigel loves wearing hats. Outfit by AnotherSpace. Necklace by me.

[GoodbyeKitty173]

Wheee: A new thread! I am happy to get in on the first page (I have long since given up trying to be the first pic on any thread)!


…by Mandasmac, on Flickr

Since she's been re-issued I decided to post a shot of my (former) kid: Yo-Megu. While she was with me I named her "Randon" after one of my best friends from grade school.

[Aiko-chan]

This is one of my favourite threads to look/read through because of all the adorable Yo spam!

Here's Belle in her longer pink wig:


She also has a pink bob that she normally wears. Part of me thinks she wouldn't be Belle if she ever had a wig that wasn't pink. Or anything that wasn't pink.

[bakayaro onna]

AreeElf: I agree with brighteyes22 about Juninha looking like a modern girl. She is definitely on-the-go!

DollZwise: Fiver is so cute! LOVE the name! If you have a pattern for the crochet slippers, I would love to have it. Maybe you can post it at the crochet thread?

JennyNemesis: It is always a joy to see your men, in all assorted sizes! I know I will be jumping into the lottery if they ever offer a Yo Shirou!

Aww, brighteyes22 - Maria is darling! Nigel would love to come play sometime!

Such a sweet shy boy, Reizei-Chan! Thank you so much for letting me know how much you like Nigel. ! I really worked hard to get a look for him that was atypical of the majority of Kuuta boys out in the world. I do not know HOW many acrylic and glass eyes I rejected until I found a pair that worked for him. And I definitely wanted distinctive hair! LOL!

Such a different and clean look to your Megu, GoodbyeKitty173! I am so used to seeing the strong Volks faceups. Randon is all soft and pink.

Aiko-chan: Belle looks good in the longer wig - but she's too cute anyway! LOL!

Back when Nigel was wearing darker green glass eyes he went visiting to my folks' place and played games with my mother's little girl, Precious Noelle (OD So Vampire Ji).

[DollZwize]

Oh YAY - TiGGy is Thrilled to be peering around on the 1st page of the new thread w her first Yo - Fiver!


I just sort of made up the slippers as I went but will try to put a pattern and the finished pic of the Yo Birkenstocks in the Crochet thread.

Jenny I so LuV Yo-Isao - he looks to be having a Fab time w all your boys - the arm wrestling pic was a HooT!

I so Love everyones pics and how incredibly wonderfully solid and cuddly these amazing little dolls are - YaY to all the Happy Yo PiX!

[brighteyes22]

Reizei-chan, he is so cuteeee, i love his face!!

GoodbyeKitty173 your girl is beautiful!! i think she is very sweet in pink!!, i love the sun in the pictures and her hair! *___*


Aiko-chan Belle can not be cuter than she already is, i love her!!!


Bakayaro onna, you can not imagine how i would love to meet you with your lovely Nigel and María, but we are so far away from you! maybe someday!! *____*

DollZwize OMG he is adorable!! i am in love <3<3<3, very nice picture!!! *____*

[juliepinetree]

GoodbyeKitty173: She is so pretty!
Aiko-chan: Belle is so pretty! Her wig and eyes are just lovely!
DollZwize Tiggy is the cutest bunny I've seen!

[revien]

Thank you hane! I adore your little Momi's wig * v*♥
I always have the hardest time finding cute, long yo-sized mohair wigs

[AreeElf]

bakayaro-onna: Nigel's newer bright green eyes makes him more striking in photos. Bright colors suit him. He looks arable too with his playmate.

brighteyes22: thanks I love Maria's outfit. The bag was a lucky keychain find while shopping at Juicywith my daughter. Sadly the bag doesn't open like Volks bags do.

Rezei-chan: Mogi's pink accent reminds me of Claudiafrom Warehouse 13 every time I see him.

aiko-chan:Belle looks cute in that pink wig. I know what you mean my Miyako is the same with pink wig.

Goodbyekitty173:the minimalist makeup makes Megu look younger in the earlier release.

julipinetree: Mizuki found Totoro! Juninha is a Jun Tachibana. Her name is a combination of Jun and my friend and favorite enabler's DoA name.

[JennyNemesis]

Aree, Juninha's new serious mouth looks great! How did you repaint the lips without stripping off the gloss that Volks put on, though?... Or did you just paint over the "comma" corners without removing the lipgloss?

I have always been curious how to fix Volks mouth-commas (or eyebrows or etc.) without damaging the rest of the faceup... I've heard several schools of thought on how to go about it, and they all sound pretty intimidating. ;;^^

[derilan85]

I'll take a picture of my Yo Mimi named Pumpkin tomorrow, she needs new clothes and a wig soon

[AreeElf]

Jenny: Juninha had serious commas I should have just dipped fine brush in Volks uv spray in a metal tray, went over the gloss then lightly repainted over the comma marks a lighter shade of thinned acrylic then reflows.

Instead I dipped the fine brush (making sure it was not drippy) in Newtons brush cleaner and repeatedly went over it till the comma marks disappeared. Trouble was the comma marks was thick and I lost a bit of the actual lip color in the process. So I mixed a color of thinned acrylic and reprinted lips then reglossed with x22.

I learned in Volks' face up enhancement class you can fix eyebrows with thinned acrylic but it takes a steady hand. If the lips are unglossed it's easier to retouch lips.
May here was my first guine pig. Five years ago.
Before default face up and eyes

After - enhanced brows and lips ginarolo eyes

[JennyNemesis]

Ahh, so you can apply the sealant with a brush over the gloss? And it doesn't make the gloss get all goopy and weird? That's the part I wasn't sure about-- gloss seems like such a wildcard. (And the faceups I get always have gloss on the lips.)

They never taught me that in the Beginners painting-classes at Dolpas; they just mainly showed us how to hold the brushes, and which colors & eyebrow shapes were for girls vs boys. ^^ I've been wanting to fix my Yukinojo's eyebrow for the past 6 years, but I've been too scared to try to spray sealant on just 1 spot of the face without spraying the whole thing (am scared to gunk it up). If I can apply the sealant with a brush & get decent results, that sounds a little less scary. Same for my Ryoya's mouth-commas (even though I've sorta gotten attached to them).

[CharmeC]

Somehow May's expression changed perceivably after you changed her eyes! So default eyes for Papis were blue? My Puff Solo's default eyes were greyish acrylic, I was disappointed that he didn't come with HG glass eyes until I learned only limited Yos come with glass eyes. I like how he looks with red eyes now, an unexpected choice! Solo just got wired tonight and can finally do some firm posing!

I've been wanting to fix my Yukinojo's eyebrow for the past 6 years, but I've been too scared to try to spray sealant on just 1 spot of the face without spraying the whole thing (am scared to gunk it up).

I've done a bunch of partial faceup repair in the past two months, I would wrapped up the rest of the face with tissues exposing only the part I wanted to fix and spray away. I've fixed some eyebrows that way!
