My first guess is I'll have to pop the head off and make a mould of it. I think maybe a silicone mould because they're flexible and catch a lot of detail. But then do I fill it with rubber for the actual head? Harumika Designer Dress Form Set allows girls to show off their cool fashion sense and their designer aspirations. Girls can create their own personal style with two stand-out designer dress forms, which are decorated with cool stamped art in an assortment of signature colours. The set is available in three very cool styles including New York City: Harajuku, Japan: and Paris.

We received the Frozen Fruits set which is a fun design and it was soon shared with my partners kids, brilliant because it’s a double torso set but held up by the fact there’s only one stylus. There’s enough fabric for the two figures and a variety of extra bits to help put your personal twist on all your designs.Hi I recently bought a harumika doll, which I really like because it looks just like the mannequin in a shop and I really love the proportions and everything else. However, this doll is discontinued so I was thinking of making a few spare heads, and maybe shoes, that I could swap in an out. First created in 2008, Harumika was launched onto the UK market by Bandai, best known as distributors of the incredible Power Rangers toys. Capturing the imagination of all fashion conscious little girls wasn’t hard, and Harumika sets have continued to develop with a constant introduction of new lines. Style your imagination and design unique fashion looks with colourful fabrics and fashion accessories - all with no cutting, sewing or gluing required. I can imagine this being brilliant for play with the 11inch dolls often collected in that age group, although I don’t know if the clothes fit the forms. Also because these are transient and temporary designs they can’t be transferred to dolls.

The dresses come apart as soon as you take them off the mannequins, however it may encourage children to learn to sew so they can create dresses for other dolls.I have given both of my nieces (ages 11 and 5) collections of Harumika as gifts and have had a blast doing some awesome designing with both girls. These toys are accessible to that whole age range, but perhaps girls in the 6-10 age group will be the most excited about them. There are two types of Harumika set, either a double or single torso. Each set contains one or two mannequin dress forms, one stylus design tool and pins, fabrics, ribbons or belts. Suitable for ages 6+ and I can see there could be mileage for up to teen years, depending on the child. There’s nothing sharp but there are small pieces so it’s definitely not appropriate for little kids. I was also thinking it would be cute to try and make some solid wigs for her. So instead of nylon hair, solid sculpted hair I can pop on and off. I'm guessing I could try sculpting it in clay on a spare head first, and then make a cast of it so I can then create a flexible version I can put on her. Or if it's stiff maybe a two piece that clips together? Like on a nendoroid. But I've never done anything like this before so I'm not sure where to start. For us it was entertainment for a good while and kept a creative flow going. We used extra fabric and lace to expand the design possibilities. I can imagine kids enjoying cutting up their old clothes to restyle them too.
