I rerooted her with foam in her head and then used enough glue to make the top of her head solid to avoid any further tearing.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to go with inky blue instead of the usual red, black or ruby. The last photo is the closest match to how she looks IRL but still much too red.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve noticed that most Julias have their eyebrows printed lower than the little brow bumps on her sculpt.
