Repaint! -PART 1- Poseable Mermaid Cora Tail and Body Mods 

I love how swapping the heads was rather drastic back then :")

Past Katherine: I'm going to do something quite drastic! (switches heads on dolls) Current Katherine: (literally sawing dolls' legs and arms in half to make entire new joints) Ah, yes.

2:56 “So, as long as the shape is okay, it doesn’t matter how ugly it looks.” My doctors to my parents when I was born

Never excuse your pajama bottoms. I still don't get why it isn't socially acceptable to walk around in a robe and sweatpants.

“I felt bad destroying a perfectly good doll set of legs” A year later “I gave a doll functioning demon legs!!” Character development

Dollightful in 2017: we're going to do something drastic, we're switching heads Dollightful in 2019: **bursts through the door with flamethrower**

Dollightful's strength lowkey terrifies me she just snapped off those doll legs without missing a beat LMAO

Remember when switching heads was drastic body modification? **xerneas laughs in distant**

does anyone remember when lagoona had plastic fins that were clear-ish?

Doll: AAAAAAHHHHH MY LEG JUST FELL OFF!! CALL AN AMBULANCE!!!! Kat: thank you for volunteering!

"we're going to do something rather drastic and swap the heads" aquarien: *how cute.*

Dollightful, you should make a mermaid skelleton for Halloween! (2019)

Did you hear that GLUE? She doesn’t “FULLY” trust you.

How do you do this?! What is Your power!? How can a human being be so skilled!? WHAT IS THIS!?😂😫

Katherine in 2017: _I feel bad ruining a perfect set of legs_ Katherine in 2019: **Carves off the cheeks of a doll. Carves the eyes out. Chops of its fingers. GETS RID OF ITS LEGS**

2017 Dollightful: This video is almost 10 minutes! Gotta split it up! 2019 Dollightul: Nyx’s video is 30 minutes long. Oh well!

Who else wants to make this but don't have anything she uses in this video

When you don’t want your dolls legs to break it breaks When you try to break your dolls legs it’s so hard

Doll: AHHHHH! MY body is gone Ave: thx for the legs

Your really good at drawing like your drawings look the exact same as your AMAZING dolls

I don't know about anyone else but when I watch these doll repaints of hers, I imagine whatever the doll could be thinking, and what their reaction would be when she beautifies them! Like toy story toys.

My mom always talks about how she dropped me when I was a kid. For the 6 years that she's had her phone, I've never seen her drop that

This video: "I have this new fancy airbrush!" Recent video: "So my airbrush isn't working for me anymore and I gotta use brushes... *BREATHES* "

Wow 2017: this a pretty drastic change*switches heads* 2019:*saws legs off doll*ummmmmm yeah *puts jewlers saw behind her back* Xearnes: move over bish

If you ever do this kind of tail again, I highly suggest using a "blind stitch" for the sides.

[Watches video] Me: That looks easy. [Two days later] Friend: What are you doing? Me: [Hunched over a fire] I NEED TO SEND THIS BACK TO HELL.

Katherine 3 years ago: we're going to do something quite drastic! I want to use this head, so let's replace it Katherine now: let's saw off the legs, add an extra limb, build an entirely new face and make everything fluffy.

This doll reminds me of a reaper leviathan from subnautica. That reminds me, can you make a doll based on one of the creatures from subnautica?

And I suggest you make a shop! So we can buy your beautiful art!

She should make more curvy dolls or different body type ones

I love how at this point something "drastic" is switching the head... it's crazy how far you've come!

Who else watches this even though you never do this

Dollightful videos are my guilty pleasure, I could re watch every video all day 💜

What I use for "flesh" in poseable objects is furniture foam! I learned that when I took a class on stop motion puppeting; it's really easy to get and you can shape it really well-- glue it on in layers with rubber cement, cut it down, then wrap it in an incredibly light fabric just to keep all the bits together. I've found it shapes better than fluff? I used to use like plush stuffing to give things shape but they always ended up too weak. How well does her tail keep its mass? I might have just been doing it wrong.....

dollightful 2017: "time to make a drastic change, swapping heads" terra: *hold my scultped-on head.*

im whaching this in 2019 and now she is not scared to cut break or chop a dole

Oh. My. Goodness. Can we just talk about how excited and in awe I am just looking at the picture you drew for the design?? I LOVE ITTTTT ❤❤ this is why I love your channel so so much

I can't imaging what her neighbors think when they see her spraying doll heads on her balcony lol

“i didn’t want to chop off perfectly good doll legs” **all of her dragons, her demon girl, goat man, and xerneas watching**

I love how she’s gone from thinking switching heads was drastic to literally creating an entire head (with the exception of the neck hole) from scratch in the form of Terra

How in the ..... She only has 500,000 subs!? That girl deserve 200,000,000!!

my catrine's leg poped off too!!! maybe its the doll

Who here is watching this in 2020 and still love dollightful's videos

“i don’t want to ruin a perfectly good pair of legs” oh katherine

I'm re-watching this for the 3rd or 4th time lol I normally watch my favourite ones like 6 times when I'm bored and then I get so inspired

Oh you never stop amazing me. i love mermaids and octomaids, so I was excited about this. Those hair colors were super pretty, esp the red, it looks like its going to contrast against the pale skin so well. I saw your little ponies around your sink, that was just too adorable; just like you :3

"I'm gonna do something rather drastic!" (swaps heads) *Terra laughs in the distance*

Watching this custom four years ago: oh my gosh, so many body modifications! What! Now: Awww I remember when Catherine just swapped a head and made a tail. So cute.

It must be so satisfying to bring your ideas from paper to real life!!! I wish I could do something like that.

I just watched a four minute ad for u

"I'm going to uhh... I N H A N C E H E R U P E R B O D Y " Watch out for Susan

Dollightful: "don't look kids!" My two little sisters: * covers eyes *

I'm going through some tough times and I don't know why but you make me feel better. Your voice is nice and suithing and with your colorful dolls, your tallent and your cheerful attitude you make it seem like it's all okay ❤

You have the patience of a God! Not to mention the talent :D

Ahhh!!!! My second favorite doll she’s ever made!!! Ty is my very favorite :3

Omg!!! This was 6 years ago???? 😭😭😭 i remember when this video came out and 12yo me went absolutley crazy and re-watched it like 10 times... the doll is so beautiful❤❤❤

Can you do a custom doll collection?

i was babysitting some little boys and he was watching it with me and when it got to um...4:16 ( sorry for this) he looked up at me and said this... and i will never forget this..he said *"boobs?"*

Me: just use glue Dollightful: NO!! I DON'T TRUST IT!!!

This was posted a day after my birthday- “Next we need to put on some meat on the bones” **intense Danganronpa noises** Edit 6/9/2021 (haha 69 less go): i did not know this comment existed

Can you make a video on how to make the hair plug? If you already have I’m sorry 😶

The creators of the Monster High Dolls should just give up and let Dollightful take over!

Marvelous, that custom doll was very rare and inspiration..

Your art makes me swoon 💕💕💕. I always look forward to seeing the concept sketches.

I always pronounce tokidoki Todoroki... God dang My Hero Academia XD

Mk so I like to watch these vids with my toddler, and how he asks to watch the intro is by popping his lips xD

This seems so tame compared to the stuff we get today. Hope mermaid wins the next stock box vote, I’d love to see her make another ultra poseable mermaid with her improved skills.

I remember watch her back in late 2018 and early 2019...i just love rewatching her old videos and seeing how much she has improved and grown as a RU-vidr

Can u do a doll with a side part instead of a middle part for the hair

Can you make a half spider girl custom, i think it'll be super cool, and helpful to others who wish to make one but aren't sure how (like me XD)

5:08 “to create a pretty FINished exterior” hahahah- Okay I’m done..

I really like this mermaid doll because her tail isn't like the basic mermaid tail with just the two fins at the end, this one has multiple unique shaped fins and cool looking ears. ❤️

*gasps* my name is cora. but this is beautiful!!

XD DONT LOOK KIDS! omg I love u cat

How to demonetize your video 4:16 I love your work, Katherine!

2017: “I don’t want to waste an innocent doll’s legs. 2019: “First, we saw the legs right above the knees, and also mid-shins.” 2023: “To start the project, grab your flame thrower and put it in the head.”

'Enhance the upper area' 'Don't look kids!' Lol 😆 😂

This is AMAZING! I love the artwork you did for doll. So pretty!

Katherine then: Imma break out my new fancy airbrush. Katherine now: *I hate using my airbrush cause it hates working and refuses to spray*

I love how she used to be like “I don’t wanna ruin good doll legs!” And now she’ll just chop off whatever’s necessary

omg you leave for a while and always come back with a bang!!! you are so super talented!!!! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

I’m 10 and I love your videos! I can see that you really have a passion for doll customising and I love your ideas! ❤️

“Pelvis hole” hmmmmm sounds... “Dollightful” Sorry if it’s spelled wrong

I LOVE this doll, adore her and what she went through to become a mermaid. You should do more mermaids in the future!!! Love your vids and can not wait fore more!!!🙌🏻

You should do more tokidoki mermacorno or unicorno inspired dolls

You should definitely make a latex mermaid tail if you ever do a second mermaid! RU-vidr AkameruKawaii just made a tutorial on how to make it out of silicone/latex. I love the translucency of the fins when they are molded in latex.

I swear, your art is so beautiful and I'll always appreciate the time and care you put into these dolls for both your and our entertainment. Your dolls give me inspiration everyday! I love your art :3

for some reason, even thugh i had a youtube account back then, this idn't have the red bar under it saying I viewed it, and since it's been so long, I decided to tart watching your old videos to kill time. It's so crazy how your style has changed, both in post and in your actual art.... you have so much more energy today

lol I had a Catreen doll and it's full leg popped off I guess it's a trend for her?! (I forgot how to spell her name😞)

TWO VIDEOS IN ONE DAY!!! What did we do to deserve this? Yay!! :D

“The red in her hair is so bright that it’s blowing out the camera!” Aurora’s paint job: *laughs from 2019*

And now, we witness the birth of everyone’s favorite dollightful character. Manny

Doll:don’t look kids! Me: * stares at the brozelms * Me and doll: will that was weird....and worrying...

Anyone else here know Fruits Basket??? * raises hand *

Ive been a tokidoki collector for years this is litteraly so cool

I LOVE Dollightful ! I watched almost all videos in one day!

ur my favourite RU-vid keep up the great work xx ❤😁

This is why I prefer dollightful to everyone else: 1.she makes awsome dolls 2.she doesn't make it too hard 3.she doesn't use captions -_- DON'T LOOK KIDS!

I can’t believe it’s been six years! I remember watching this as soon as it was posted and being so excited for part two

i love how she supports her fellow doll artists and always give them a plug/shoutout in her videos
