    I've had this girl for a good while now, over ten years, IIRC.

    Never was satisfied with her goofy, off-scale TSUKUDA HOBBY doll body,
    and have only recently happened across a viable alternative
    in the form of the 2023 WorldBox AT203 Aftermarket Doll Body.

    Well... it seems that getting her a WorldBox opened a proverbial Can of Worms.

    i've sanded, repainted, combed, brushed, primped and fussed over her head
    until it reached a lever of sharpness i had previously thought unachievable.

    Further, being that as a boy, long ago, i was a STAR WARS fan,
    with a singular affinity for the "Scout Trooper" Imperial Stormtrooper Costume Variant,
    i figured that the old HASBRO 2000/2003 12in. Action Figure costume
    would surely look Charming on her.

    Well... Boy, was i ever Right. She looks so... Overwhelmingly Adorable,
    that i could, honestly... Practically Cry♥

    She's an Android. a Prototype, no less.

    in the To Heart Visual Novel, Anime and Manga, Karusugawa Electronics gave her a Trial Run
    in the High School that the balance of the series main cast attends.

    those "Ear Antenna" pods were fitted to her for her Trial phase, and, -IIRC-
    at the end of her Story Path in the VN, she returns to the school,
    - from being recalled to the company, at the Trial period's conclusion -
    to show the MC that she no longer requires the antenna pods... and now has Human-like ears.

    That sounds like a cute story! I’ll have to check out the anime sometime.

    I'll have to tell you; don't expect much out of either of the TH 1 or 2 Anime adaptions.

    they both attempt to cram all of the Female characters' storypaths into their middling 12-episode runtime,
    resulting in thoroughly mediocre and unsatisfying Anime Adaptions.

    To Heart 1, at least, is actually very well Animated.
    too bad it doesn't follow the Multi-focused storyline that it would have so greatly benefited from...

    I Managed to greatly improve upon her cute little head.

    i X-ACTOed her rough-looking original Ear-Antenna pod mounts away...
    and replaced them with a much cleaner and more subtle-looking set,
    made from, -of all things- a pair of Main Landing-Gear Wheels
    from a 1/72 F-14 TOMCAT model kit (Hasegawa)
