Starting in January 2004 with the release of Venus, Pullip had a new body which had no visible screws, a soft torso, and joints that could be pulled apart. This body had more realistic proportions, and is to date the most poseable body. Disadvantages of this body include the limbs can fall off or pull apart too easily, the soft torso ‘pops’ out of the hip joint, and that the plastic of the body had a tendency to melt under certain environmental conditions, mostly high heat and humidity. This generation has a blank, not rooted, scalp with a wig glued on – the wig can be removed by tugging firmly (it’s only the rim that’s glued down).
Lisa – a Nomado – was my first Pullip and the doll that got this whole craze started, she arrived new from PullipStyle Aug 1, 2008. Her name is after fictional character Lisa Kimmel Fisher (Lili Taylor) of Six Feet Under. Other than redressing her, I have kept her like she was when she arrived – I am however considering giving her shiny face a coat of Mr Super Clear, a hobby sealant which leaves a matte finish. I did this to another Nomado that I owned for a while, and the result was brilliant.
My seventeenth Pullip was a gorgeous custom Nero – Oren’s counterpart – w/ her original outfit, wig, and box included. She is adopted from a French collector and arrived Nov 19, 2008. Her name, Luna, was given by her previous owner. Her faceup is done by Aïla. I have re-wigged her with Dal Puki’s stock wig.
