>>6105678Seriously, that one isn't even that bad, at least the lines are clean and it doesn't look like it has a rash or something.
But I agree, Mandarake/Y!J is a great source to see ugly customs/destroyed dolls.
It's the same with cosplay.
The ones you see are the perfectly edited pictures of, often bought, costumes.
Have a look at regular photos taken on conventions, with people just walking around, and you see there's a lot of mediocre/shit stuff too.
It's just pure logic, being born in a certain place doesn't mean you automatically have experience.
Just imagine you live there though and hate the pretty cutesie, polished anime look.
I bet there are people who hate it and longingly look at the well customized gritty, realistic more western looking dolls and think all the local customizers just have zero imagination.
(I do admit though that I prefer the nice asian Blythe customs over western ones.
Pic related, fav japanese customizer, Milk Tea.
Western Blythe are just boring to look at and you can only make so many mouthbreather, freckle dolls with frown and no eyebrows before it gets too much.
Even the skilled ones are all the same looking or totally obscure)
