I know it's been a long time since you've all heard or seen from me. Well, truth is, I've been going through a lot and I've finally decided on clearing out my pony collection. I'm starting small right now, because my room is a mess, and I have to dig to find stuff. I guess my G3 collection isn't worth as much anymore thanks to the G4..boom. I'll start with the G4.

Please be aware, I am cross posting this on other sites, so this is first come, first serve. I need to sell since I lost my job, and I need to pay bills and invest in sewing for a living. So, your best bet will be to email me, because I do check my email regularly: RHarbin(at)tampabay.rr.com

PLEASE SEND ME OFFERS. I won't decline a good offer.

I know what the going rates are on ebay and all, but I want to steer clear of ebay, and still offer a good deal for my friends.

Ponies are now starting to go up on eBay. If it's listed up on eBay, please don't contact me about it.

The Dollhouse / My BJDs- Condensing into one big topic
« on: March 07, 2014, 11:52:03 PM »
All of my over due babies I've recently received. I've been so darn busy, I forgot to post! Forgive me. >.<

Well, I still have to make an outfit for my Cheshire, and I'm waiting on my eyes from ErsaFlora, but here he is:

I don't know why, but I really wasn't expecting human and cat parts and the extra head.

My second doll to arrive was my Luts KDF uni-taur Bory:

And my recent purchase is my belated birthday present since I'm also a Scorpio- a ZDF Scorpio Persi:

She's my first ZDF, and I LOVE her!! The default faceup is adorable too. I just had to get her optional parts because the white/pink set was too cute, but she's not the Scorpio without the scorpion resin parts. I also had to get the outfit that came out for the ZDFs around the same time she was released because it's cute. Damn all the cuteness! I have to restring her though. Seems like all of my Luts dolls are too tight so far, which includes my KDF Bory Uni-taur. :3

I also have my ZDF tan Lio Sagittarius Lio Griffin-taur set ordered with FF&D. I couldn't talk myself out of it when the price was pretty reasonable after getting his outfit, extra non-taur body, and he came with an extra head. So, it's like two dolls in one! I just had to get my first tan skin, and the gold rakes look great with it too. I can't wait to get him! I wish I could have gotten the last Lio, he was so stunning.

I have my IslandDoll Amy Special 2 in the mail on her way now, and then I have my custom Drow doll still in production, hopefully he'll be done soon. I haven't gotten any word back from the artist yet. :(


**UPDATE**

So, Dalila has been working very hard on my custom drow doll, and he's pretty much completed. He stands at about 17" tall, has 6mm eye size, and wig size would be 5-6" (which I'll have to make myself):

The Dollhouse / Barbie collectors..
« on: February 05, 2014, 08:37:40 AM »
Howdy again! I was going through more stuff to get rid of because I really need the money..and I found two MIB Barbies I had. Both are the blonde versions. Send me an e-mail please, I'd like to avoid eBay.

1. 94' Sea World Barbie with Baby Keiko the whale. MIB with pink accessories. Box is even in great shape. I found only one on eBay selling for $50, but I'm not expecting that much. Send me an offer if you're interested in her.

2. 96' BayWatch Barbie with dolphin friend MIB. Typically going for $10-20ish on eBay. Send me an offer!

Pics? Why yes!

The Dollhouse / Ordering help from Volks
« on: December 04, 2013, 05:45:29 PM »
Is anyone planning to purchase anything from Volks soon that might be in the US? I just need two cans of ZM Finishing Powder Spray UV-Cut but I do NOT want to pay the $14 for shipping two little cans. :/

If anyone plans to purchase anything soon, please let me know!

Customs / Tengu/Kami/Yōkai Dragon Spirit-Halloween custom for Roogna
« on: October 21, 2013, 05:24:30 PM »
My incredibly sweet partner was Roogna for the Halloween swap. It took me quite some time to decide on her theme. But, she mentioned some of her favorites being anything traditional Japanese, bat, skulls, purples and greens, demons, dragons, heterochromatic eyes, and kimonos stood out to me.

I decided on this Tengu/Kami/Yōkai dragon spirit themed custom (pardon the multiple photos, I will link my photobucket http://smg.photobucket.com/user/RipPanther1/library/FINISHED%20Customs/Arena%20Halloween%20Swap-%20Roogna/Completed as well- I had to reinstall Windows and no longer have an editing program):

Now, details. I'm very sad to say, I was informed that he eyes no longer light up. :(
She had two led lights installed behind her glass eyes to reflect the green and purple heterochromia eyes.  :cry:

Spoiler
visitors can't see pics , please register or login

She has light Eastern dragon elements. Sculpted permanent horns and a removable mask. I used bits of peacock feathers on the whiskers of the mask and added a bit of pearl-ex powder on the horns and eyes, and black feathering around the edge.

Her kimono, ho ho ho. Man was that a pain in the buns. Luckily, I had the wonderful LoveLauraLand give me a few tips on how to get it together. Sculpted, then painted gradients of black/gray and then purple and green. There are also imprints of different dragons, a fan, and coins. On her back, in the center of her dragon egg Obi, is the push button for her eyes, embellished with swarovskis. The underside is painted in a bright purple as well and then sealed.

Her hair is a wonderful mix my boyfriend picked out from DH- I believe it was Kiss of Death, Haunted Forest or Poison Ivy, and Hematite. Put into a slight bun with the thread method and adorned with swarovski headpins as well as two little chopsticks that have little spiders and purple teardrop beads hanging from them. In the center of her bun hangs a  dragon with green eyes.

She also comes with a little matching umbrella! Started out as one of those drink favor umbrellas, it was painted, added a purple/green bead to the stick, dragon, and sealed.

And naturally, I had to spoil her with goodies. What's Halloween without goodies!? Plus, happy Birthday and Anniversary!

Customs / Big buns!
« on: August 26, 2013, 10:52:27 AM »
So, I was wondering. What's the trick to get the hair to stay in a cute bun without having to use a rubber band? It makes it look a little.. tacky. :/

The Dollhouse / BJD design help!
« on: August 21, 2013, 11:17:31 AM »
Which doll should I use??

Okay, let me start off by saying I have been searching all over to find the best base BJD to use to make a Mami Tomoe doll from Puella Magi, the anime. I realized that Volks is going to be my best bet, but they have so many options, it's ridiculous! I don't even know where to begin.

This is Mami:

She's very sweet, cute, and..well, busty.
 
It's been so hard to find a head that smiles and has her cute eye shape too.

Which doll would you guys suggest and which heads/etc. I'll definitely get the super busty one. :P

The Dollhouse / DoA Invite Code?
« on: June 13, 2013, 06:06:14 AM »
Howdy guys and gals!

So, I know I haven't been on in.......forevers, but I was just getting into reading the Legend of Drizzt from Dungeons and Dragons. Well, I really want to make myself a BJD based on his character, but I have a billion and one questions since I've never made one before. I was wondering, would anyone be so kind to send me an invite code?

Thanks a bunch!

I think I've decided on a base, although he is rather expensive. It' the B&G's The Old World Coloara Mlezzlir. His base is the PERFECT drow! But, I wish I could read Taobao, since I found him for less than $400 on there, everwhere else I find him is either $500-800. Any ideas on where I can find a dark gray male elf base that is a bit muscular?  :blush:

Thanks!

Customs / Wut the heck dye?
« on: February 18, 2013, 01:05:45 PM »
A few years ago, I bought some black dyed bait G3s (the sparkly see through ones) and I was thinking about working with one. The thing is..it seems a bit tacky and has a matte look to it. I actually just had to wash her down again and it seems like I washed off some dye.

Why the heck is it matte with some goo? It's not a thick goo or anything..just like a very thin slime in some spots. Is it just the dye hasn't settled for this long? I mean..they've been sitting for about a year plus. :/

Any ideas?

Customs / Customizing a G4..really that difficult??
« on: January 23, 2013, 11:16:27 AM »
As the topic implies, I'm interested. I bought some and even the styling size as well. Do any of the new G4s take any dye at all?

How about the paint? I usually stick to the acrylic paints I find at Joanns. Are they really that difficult to paint as well??

Now..hair! How many hanks can I expect to use on a regular G4 and a styling size if I'm using Dollyhair AND if I want to use Retrodolls (I have both).

Thanks friends!

I'm working on a custom right now and for fear of the unknown, I decided on a G1 since I didn't know how the G4 would turn out. :/

Finally arrived safe and sound to the wonderful Ellis 1342! This was the easiest pony for me to decide on because Ellis had really good specific things she liked. Of those, she mentioned liking Reindeer, pearlized finish, Bases and boy ponies! Now, the color scheme came from that and she also stated her favorite winter colors are white, blue and silver. So I combined those with a pearly white finish a tiny bit of silver at his feet. I decided to use a G1 bait of Ribbs, since she liked boys AND babies, and then made his cloven hooves a metallic blue. His antlers are sculpted to mimic a little more of a real traditional reindeer, which is really a caribou. They are my FAVORITE animals! They are made from thick wire, apoxie, and then covered with a bit of white flock mixed with a bit of glitter.

His tail and neck/chest fur are sculpted from apoxie as well. I wanted his eyes to have a monochrome feel, so I mixed black in with the metallic silver and pearl white to get the pupil and the iris is a mixture of pearl white, metallic blue and pearl blue then sealed with triple thick. His body is a mix of airbrushing and then a layer of brush painting. His saddle is made up of fabric on top of faux fur. I used a double sided ribbon for the harness, then added some pretty 'candy coated' brads and tiny blue bells. I even made him a tiny charm right in the front with a bell sealed with triple thick.

The base is the largest snow globe kit I could find. I then took a premade plastic globe from an unnamed store and took it apart. I used all the mechanics which includes music, a lightup slide and the ability to (kinda) blow around snow. Sadly, it doesn't work exactly the way I intended it too. Oh well. :( The penguin was a really ugly purple and red, and I repainted him to be blue and silver to match the theme, then sealed his hat and scarf with triple thick.

I hollowed out a chunk of floral foam and put the electrical workings underneath and ran the wire though a hole I drilled out. Unfortunately, the wire wasn't the best so I easily broke the lighting...but fortunate for me, I have a nice stock of blue leds and I used one in the slide to make it work again. I covered most of the foam in Gesso and then layered the top in spray "snow". I also attached a miniature tree, small wrapped present and a blue and silver spiral pole.

Hum, hopefully I didn't miss anything. I sent her some yummy treats and goodies as well. :)
Hope you like!

Candy is in the bag and chocolates were put in a plastic bag on their own, just in case they may have melted. :)

Customs / B&BW Secret Wonderland for Pythia
« on: November 26, 2012, 03:09:07 AM »
AHHHH!! I'm so relieved it finally made it to Pythia! This girl was super fun to make and was my first time making the glass eyes. Lets start bottom up!
http://smg.beta.photobucket.com/user/RipPanther1/library/FINISHED%20Customs/Secret%20Wonderland%20for%20Pythia/Secret%20Wonderland-%20MLPArena- For complete photos.

Body was a G3 I can't recall, but already had a light blue base so I dyed her a deeper blue and tipped her feet and ears in a reddish dye as well. Because I put too much hair in her tail, it split a little so I sculpted a little over the tail and painted it a pearly white then added some rhinestones around it and sealed it with Triple Thick. The hair and tail are DHs Virgin Snow, I believe, hand dyed in a gradient from the original white to pink to a deep red then tipped in blue to make it purple-ish. I also added in a super secret and pretty krystal flash into her hair as well. It's so super pretty, but hard to photograph! Her hair was done up with the twist method, my first attempt at it too. I put in genuine Swarovski Head Pins in matching colors of pink, crystal AB, blue, etc.

She adorns a pretty pink ribbon with silver around her neck embellished with genuine swarovskis as well. She also has pretty matching butterfly wings with crystals, glitter, some gallery glass for added veining effect, seed beads and sealed in Triple Thick. Over the wings, on her body, is a finding painted in a pearly white and pink with a pink rhinestone added then sealed.

Her symbol is done in a mixture of acrylic colors to mimic the design on the SW products. Here is my inspiration:

I used different methods for the dots around her symbol such as regular dots of paint and a raised black metallic fabric paint then sealed with TT (my fav product by far).

Her eyes! Hey eyes man..pain in the butt. Took me quite a few tries to get it right, but they came out well, I think. They're glass with a purple/pink design with a bit of glitter paint over the eye color. Kept in with apoxie and then the whites and lashes around it are done with acrylics and sealed with..wait for it...TT! :P

Her body AND hair are scented with a replica of Secret Wonderland. Made me drool as it was always on my hand when working on her. :D

So, without further ado may I present to you, Secret Wonderland:

Yeah, too much going on in my life and I'm getting moody and in the dumps..certainly doesn't help that I know I'll have a poo birthday next week and I have no job since July. Money is tight but I have a great boyfriend who is paying all the bills right now as much as he can. So I'm trying to find things to be happy about, other than him.

I want to make a Christmas/Yule/Holiday/Winter themed pony this year..but I'd like some inspiration. I LOVE LOVE LOVE reindeer ponies. Let's see what holiday ponies you've made! :D

Description..

I entered the first Halloween swap at the Arena since..2010 I think, and had the wonderful Blackcurtains as my recipient! From her list of gruesome and gory themes I had things like Hellraiser, any John Carpenter's stuff..etc, anything really gory. It was super hard to narrow down. I finally settled on Resident Evil after about a week of deliberation..a hellhound...the split headed dog!! I had a BRILLIANT idea of using flocking that I had, so I special ordered two colors of flock and a mini kit and got to work. It literally took me about a week of sculpting to get the head to work for me and then about 40 teeth (and some breaking), some mad sanding and tons of layers of paint. *EDIT* I forgot to mention how the teeth and blood on the head look particularly nasty and shiny. Well, I have some medium gloss Gel that I used to give it some drool, then I decided to mix some of it with the red gallery glass paint and grazed it over the teeth and let it droop a bit to make it more realistic like drool and dripping blood. I love that gel!

Then, the long wait after using the special glue for the flocking to stick.

Yes, some patches of fur are missing intentionally, blood...everywhere. Some looks new and fresh, some old and darker..more congealed. The eyes are zombah-fied. One eye is slightly good, with the general iris still in tact, the colors of pink/white/reds and a mix of dulled browns and a dull metallic brown glossed over with a mix of triple thick and GITD acrylics. The other eye is more of a diluted pink and white with no set iris for more of a zombie feel. I know I didn't nail it, but I'll get it some day!!

I think I got the special gore I was looking for. And to boot, I handmade a little T-Virus vial key chain and Umbrella logo to go along. The vial I'm not too pleased about as I did that on the day needed to ship out. :P

It is intentionally not filled with liquid, like most are made with because the real vials in the game had no liquid. The only fluid is actually in the strand itself, so I layered the strand with about 3 layers of Triple Thick to give it that filled feel.

I took photos with my copy of the game and our special RE Antidote energy drink can. Thought it fit rather well. Heh.

I think my first gore pony is a descent one, and I'm happy the new owner likes him as well!! Any Qs? Ask away!

PHOTOS! WARNING FOR A BUTT LOAD OF GORE!!


This time I remembered to take photos of the goodies, but stupid me...I forgot to throw an item in it!! When I get a new job, I promise to mail this item to you as a surprise hun!
