I have a few Barbie dolls.... Still from when I was a kid xD They're probably in the attic, dusty all by now.

And I collect Monster high dolls! Well I used to collect them, now I'm selling them to get the money for my DD xD I used to have quite a collection... Now I have like 7 left.

 

Oooh, who are the keepers? I have the Gargoyle and the Skeleton girl and I don't see myself getting rid of them, they're just too cool! XD

Just some poeople on the internet that i sold them to xD I made sure my sold MH dolls are in good hands I don't have any of the newer ones, because I stopped collecting them. I just sold 2 more, too getting them ready to be shipped out.

 

hehe, I meant which Monster High dolls did you keep!

 

Sorry for the confusion!

I have a huge collection of Monster High dolls (as you can probably tell from my profile pic LOL). I love these little dolls, and it's nice to have a doll that doesn't put me in financial traction every time I want one! Even my OOAKs are way less than my BJDs and DDs.

 

Ya I agree lol, the problem is I still son't have money for both lol!

 

 

LOL, me neither. Every year I make a resolution to limit myself in some way, but it usually doesn't work out. Now I have the new affliction, the DDs. Oh, well, who needs money anyway

Happy Halloween from Misaki and Amelie. My Fashion Royalty Nippon dolls.

What is the money for? To buy dolls of course lol Now I have the ever after highs on the list -_- the problem is that these dolls are easily accessible.

They are so cute!

Thanks Amara77, I'm glad you like them. I'm actually getting another Amelie this week. Yay!

Just an FYI, I've got a blog post up today with a product review and coupon code to an awesome etsy store.

Their stuff is super affordable too, and playscaled.

(and no, they've not paid me to say this, they're really just that awesome, LOL)

Amelie is gorgeous, my girl is getting a reroot now but she should be done in a few weeks! I want her to look like a very rare Amelie that I sadly lost on Ebay.

 

Blinky's Doll Boutique does have some very nice items, just perfect for dollhouses and dioramas. I need to get some of those cute little pillows myself.

I received a newsletter from Sekiguchi this morning about these new Momoko dolls.

Sekiguchi is releasing both Yoko and Nia. They are so adorable and I hope they'll make more anime based dolls.

I've been gleaning info from the Web lately, and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here.

Does anybody have a method of giving a fashion doll a stiff sculpted hairstyle. The doll I'm working with is Disney 's classic Elsa, so you have an idea of how I want the hair to look.

When she came in the box, her hair was already hard, but I didn't like the way it was shaped, so I washed the hard stuff out. Now I'm wondering what I can use to reshape it in a more movie accurate way. Azone wax just doesn't do the trick

You can try human hair gel. Just a small amount and see how that works.

I used it a few times in the past on my Momoko dolls. Just wash the hair when you want it removed.

 

Edit: I remember this one doll collector using a specific Bed Head product but I don't remember the exact name. Maybe I can get in touch with her.

Thanks!

Is there any type of human hair product I should avoid to prevent damage to the doll, or are all ok?

 

I also heard that glue can be used for a permanent style, but can't find anything online about it :/

I'd avoid human products that say super or anything like that and hairspray. I also got in touch with the person I mentioned, the product is called Bed Head Manipulator. She uses it on pigtails for dolls.

 

I haven't heard of using glue but hopefully you can find more info about it. Good luck!
