ひよこ組 (Hiyokokumi) dolls, the maker of my life-size doll of my OC Elegos, has some amazing updates regarding their handmade dolls!
You can now pay for a toy skeleton service for all dolls. A skeleton allows the doll to pose better. All previous dolls made my them can also be sent back for a toy skeleton installation! The skeleton can be installed for a fee.
They are now also accepting orders of girl dolls up to 150cm! You can now directly order a girl doll by contacting them on their Twitter (or Mercari.jp page; more on this below). Previously, only male and smaller unisex dolls were being accepted for orders on the Hiyokokumi account.
If you do not use Twitter, they have now also opened up a Mercari.jp page for buying. You can order from there, too. You will have to be knowledgeable of how to order products from Japan.

The representative speaks English if you contact them directly from Twitter and I think this is the better option for English speakers, in my opinion.
Also, I have been mispronouncing the name this entire time as "Hiyokogumi". 🫠 You can thank Google translate for that!
I will be sending back my Elegos to Japan for the toy skeleton installation sometime after they approve I can send money via bank transfer. I'm sad that Elegos will be gone, too. 🥹
