My Obitsu and Nendoroid body comparison post seems to be getting a lot of traction, so I thought of sharing the tips and ways I’ve learned over time on how to attach a Nendoroid head to an Obitsu body, therefore creating what we call an Obitsuroid!
An Obisuroid is basically a hybrid or a combination of a Nendoroidhead with an Obitsu body. I’ve only ever tried attaching a Nendoroid head to an 11cm Obitsu body since I’ve started with the hobby in early 2019, so this first episode is will be the few tricks / ways I’ve learned on how to do it.
In this tutorial, I will be sharing that three ways I’ve tried attaching the head of a Nendoroid to an Obitsue body.
For the first one, we’ll only be needing an Obitsu body of your choice, the latest Nendoroid (faceplate), and some Tack-it(whichever color you prefer, though I’d like to use white tack it with my Obitsuroids.)
I do suggest the Faber Castel
It’s just a three-step easy-peasy process:
After choosing your Nendoroid faceplate of your choice, you just have to place a small amount of tack it around the rim of the faceplate.
Next is to push the washer of the Obitsu into the rim.
Then simply attached the Nendoroid hair as usual and voilà! You’ve got yourself an Obitsuroid!
The second trick is to use suctions hook, wall hook, or those clear suction car hook – whatever you wanna call them. In addition to the hook, you’ll be needing scissors or cutter and of course the Obitsu body and the Nendoroid faceplate and a Nendoroid neck connector. (pictured below)
First thing you do is draw a pattern of the neck connector to the clear suction and then precisely cut the suction and that’s it! It will basically hold the washer and will serve as a buffer so that it could hold the head of the Nendoroid.
You have to insert it first to the back hair-piece instead of the faceplate’s rim.
The last one is basically just the same process as the second one, the only difference is that you’re going to be using a cardboard instead of a suction hook.
Again, as mentioned above – drawn a pattern of the neck connector and cut it.
It should look like this once you insert it to the washer
Again, you have to insert it first to the back hair-piece instead of the faceplate’s rim.
And just insert the faceplate, and the front hair-piece! That easy!
I’m personally not a fan of this one because the head always tends to be too wobbly compared to the rubber hook.
On the my future Nendroid Hybrid posts, I will be discussing the YMY body (which I just ordered) and will also compare it to the Nendoroid Body and the Obitsu Body. I heard a lot of good things about it, where you actually don’t need to do all these tricks I’ve just mentioned in this post (ugh) to attach the Nendoroid head so, do watch out for it!

I accidentally discovered the Nendoroid world last year when I searched for some local Obitsu stuff sellers on Facebook. It led me to Nendo Farm – a group created by one of the Philippines’ local Nendoroid and Obitsu distributors.
As per its Wiki definition: The Nendoroid series is a brand of plastic figures created by the Japanese Good Smile Company in 2006. They typically depict anime, manga, or video games and are designed with a large head and a more petite body to give them a cute appearance. Their faces and other body parts are exchangeable, giving them a range of different expressions and poses. The Nendoroid brand spans a variety of different products: the original 10 cm figures, smaller Nendoroid Petite figures, additional display tools known as the Nendoroid More series, as well as plushies and playsets. Several video games have also been released based on Nendoroid designs.
In 2018, Good Smile Company introduced the Nendoroid Doll series. It is the latest addition to the Nendoroid series, which features the same Nendoroid heads, but an alternate doll-like body that is highly articulated and can easily be dressed up into different outfits while remaining a palm-sized action figure!
Obitsu (doll) body meanwhile are a type of ball-jointed body manufactured by the company Parabox.
In this post, I will show you the comparison between a Nendoroid Doll body and an Obitsu doll body. See, you can use the Nendoroid heads to Obitsu 11cm bodies, resulting in a hybrid doll popularly known in the toy community as Obitsuroid!
Nendoroid doll bodies comes with three different colors – cream, peach and cinnamon while Obitsu is more varied with its Whitey, Pure White, Natural (Fleshtone) and Pure Black color.
Their height is just about the same with the Obitsu body just a tad bit higher. They can usually share clothing although Obitsu tends to be a bit bigger.
Edit: I’ve just realized that the rest of the article I wrote about this topic was not fully uploaded when I visited my site this morning! I was so busy that I usually do auto-posts, so imagine my horror when I saw that the entire article I’ve been writing for so long was nowhere to be found.

This photo shows a male Nendoroid Doll body and an Obitsu 11CM body (non-gendered).
Nendoroid doll bodies come in three different colors – cream, peach, and cinnamon, while Obitsu is more varied with its Whitey, Pure White, Natural (Fleshtone), and Pure Black color.
Their height is just about the same, with the Obitsu body just a tad bit higher. They can usually share clothing, although Obitsu tends to be a bit bigger.
UPDATED: Here’s a Nendoroid Doll of Deku celebrating the new year! He can actually stand on his own but it’d take a bit of time to achieve it. The Obitsu body may not be perfectly fit with the Nendoroid head but it could easily stand on its own.
As you can see, he’s perfectly perched on top of my luggage looking oh-so-cute!
Another thing is that Nendoroid body all comes with magnetic sole, while for Obitsu you can choose to buy with or without one.
This is a Nendoroid Doll: Boy Archetype.
And this one is the Natural Skin Color of an 11cm Obitsu Body.
They’re actually pretty enjoyable to play with, to display and to look at buy they could be very expensive. So, make sure to check them out at your favorite toy stores!
