Title: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: Gingerbread on July 07, 2012, 01:04:05 PM
I love CaMs in a way that is so not healthy for my bank balance. I love them so much more than the original dolls! I don't like the boys though... *ducks fakies*

There are (not counting the boys) -

Dragon
Werewolf
Cat
Witch
Vampire
Seamonster
Bee girl
Ghost girl
Triclops girl
Skeleton girl
Mummy (unreleased)
Gorgon (unreleased)
Ice girl (unreleased)
Blob girl (unreleased)
Mystical set (unreleased)
Nocturnal set (unreleased)

is there also a generic Lab CaM? And have I missed anyone?

I so need to get my butt in gear and nab the ones I don't have. I have part of a couple (two Triclops left legs and head, Ghost head if anyone can help me complete them, happy to trade parts for parts!)
It really irks me they don't have enough torsos. And don't even get me started on the lack of correctly coloured upper limbs... :nope:

Anyhow, here are my CaM ghouls...

Lilitha (vampire)

So...CaMs...discuss! And pic spamming is totally encouraged :D

I knowwww.. I love them as well! ^^

I currently have the skeleton girl and parts of the werewolf and ghost. I have a broken Spectra that I want to turn into the ghost girl (if anybody needs a signature Spectra's head.. ;D), thankfully her legs are still intact. (if anybody needs ghost legs.... ;D)
Skeleton and Wolf are missing their torsos (if anybody has a werewolf torso for sale..... ya right, like if anybody would have a spare torso. :P).
There is a custom artist that is selling custom skeleton torsos and I want to order them for mine, but they are currently working on matching upper arms & legs so I want to wait for them to be released and order them all in one go to save on shipping. ^^

I'd also LOVE to have the three-eyed-ghoul, but I'd have to find a place to order matching limbs first. I'd want her to be the same colour all over. :<

PS: your seamonster-girl is one of the prettiest I've seen so far! Love Echo!! :D
Also, your cat & werewolf = :heart:

Ooh, I love CAMs! I don't have as many as I used to -- I gave a few of them to my niece -- but they are still some of my favorite dolls! I'll post some pictures of my crew as soon as I can! :)

I second that!! no, wait, they are ALL amazing!!

As I said on the MH thread, the lack of matching limbs and torsos bother me a LOT! and when you think that a torso off Evil-Bay costs only $5 less than the whole packs, grrrr!!!!
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: Gingerbread on July 07, 2012, 01:42:23 PM
They are stunning! I got to have a go at rooting a CaM head sometime...

I've just been looking at torsos on evilbay - $10!!! Minimum! Ugh it sucks.

I've just been looking at torsos on evilbay - $10!!! Minimum! Ugh it sucks.

The sad thing is that $10 is almost doable compared to some of the other prices I've seen! >.< I've seen people selling a single torso for $25! Seriously?!

Post by: mermaid_splash on July 07, 2012, 01:53:36 PM
Thanks :)  They are so addicting and fun, finishing up a dragon girl atm if I could just get a little more hair!

I'm going to do another skeleton, I actually didn't like the way that one turned out and I had spare parts anyways.  The problem I am having now is the new heads.  I am working on a way to plug the hole left by the hard plastic so I can still do a full re root.

I have a couple of soft heads that I got as part of an eBay lot, skelly and Triclops. I'm so tempted to have a go at re-rooting but I also want to trade them for CaM parts I don't have! Dilemma :lmao:

What parts are you looking for?
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: Gingerbread on July 07, 2012, 02:12:17 PM
I really want to finish up the incomplete CaMs I have so the dragon head + matching upper limbs, torso and wings, and Triclops torso, upper limbs and right leg. After that, I'm looking for the ghost, skelly and insect CaMs with torsos and upper limbs to match.

Am I right in understanding that you have to bore out regular dolls arms and legs for the CaM pegs to fit?
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: Ravie on July 07, 2012, 02:19:18 PM
I love my CaMs too :) mainly my sea monster and werewolf girl; I'm unhappy with my triclops girl for the most part and I haven't gotten around to doing much with my boys yet ^^; I also have another Sea Monster and two more Werewolves I need to work on.

Mera is technically my other Sea Monster but she's mostly disassembled and bald (because the hair i ordered came to me as rubbish and not at all like Neri's as it was supposed to be) but she has starred in a couple of pics

Bellatrix Strange is my Triclops girl but I'm on the fence about her at the moment which is why there are no decent pics of her.

I've never used regular doll bits to match up cams.  I did a head swap with my werewolf and a ghoulia but thats it.
I would get a matching torso for my three eyed ghoul off etsy, but then the arms and legs problem arises.  I will custom paint them when we get settled into a new home since all my paints are packed.

I know I have some spare dragon parts, I'll take a look for you if you like :)

So many great pics, I love seeing what people do with these girls...and boys!  I AAALmost got the boy set today, but passed on it...we'll see how long that lasts.

I LOVE all of my CaM girls...I want to get the Bee and the Triclops eventually...and the Dragon :heart:  I'll probably just end up buying the Dragon/Werewolf starter, plus another starter with 2 torsos, so I can make all three dolls.  I can paint the limbs and torso to match, and I just can't pay more for a torso than I could pay to get a torso and all the limbs.  Doesn't make sense to me, lol.

Rocky Goyle (brother to Rochelle) and Draculiam (brother to Draculaura and Draculily). Rocky won't be staying like this - I need to get him some different clothes and figure out other accessories. Right now he's so dull and boring!

For those of you CAM lovers out there, Amazon has the Skeleton CAM set for 10.99  And I think some of the other CAM sets for decent prices too!  Sure beats eBay.  :P

I just love the Create-A-Monsters. I think they are great, and I love how they encourage creativity and originality in the MH universe. They were a big selling point to me for the line believe it or not, even though I haven't actually... finished one yet... ^^;

Everyone's pictures are so awesome. The sea monster girls are definitely my #1 faves :heart:

Hanako and Istarta.

Hanako is a skeleton girl with a look inspired by certain Japanese urban legends.

Istarta, a ghost CAM, has a sort of dark angel look, I think.  Wish I could find something that covered her tummy and still fit properly.

This would be Nymeria, my werewolf CAM in her wig.  I'm working on a dragon CAM as well, but she's getting a faceup at the moment (I wanted to try to do one, but not on the head that I really like).

Doo like, I see where you got Nymeria from!

*grin*  Once I decided she was a wolf (I debated calling her a cat, even though she's sold as a werewolf) and stuck with the very untamed look, the name just stuck ;)

Echo, where did you get that jacket?  It's so awesome!  And the other gal, Hanako, reminds me of the girl off of the Grudge....  o.O  Cool, but def scary. 

Also, I have seen some awesome flocking (nothing major, but a soul patch on the vampire does wonders for him, I must say) and I really want red hair on my gargoyle, but I am afraid it will be too copy cat-ish.  But who wouldn't love irish gargoyles?  That accent?  oh come on....  *drool*

And there are some neat CAM customs on Ebay...love the gargoyle head someone painted...and I have an extra...wonder if I could do something similar...

NoD- you need to stop making me drool over the Skeleton CAM, because Kalma is perfection! I want one soooo bad, but scrounging around for the missing parts would be a pain. Might hold out until the Scaris line comes out (I think there's a Skeleton with that), but I'm not sure if I have enough self-restraint!

I have been informed that Istarta's Jacket is from a Christmas Hannah Montana of some sort.  Dunno the specifics since I got it in a whole bag full of doll clothes at a thrift store maybe a year ago.

And yeah...that's kind of what I was going for with Hanako.  If you google Hanako-san, you'll discover she's a ghost of Japanese urban legend that haunts girls restrooms.

I got the skeleton CAM set in the mail today!  (Bought it from Amazon.)  I had a body ready, but it took me a while to modify the leg pegs to fit.   The body I am using is from Cupid, so some modding was required.  I finally got it all to fit!

No pictures yet, but I am excited!   I can't wait to start re-rooting her hair!   Though, I was surprised/disappointed to see she has the hard headcap.  I thought that she would have the soft head.   Oh well, I still have my thick gauge needle.  LOL!

I do have a question for others who have the skeleton CAM:   
Are the limbs on yours a very light grey?   Her head is a nice white, but the limbs on mine have a slight grey tint to them.  Just wondering if this is normal.

Thanks!!

Kamakazee: Your gargoyle boy looks hilarious with the long hair and the glasses. It's probably partly the angle and also the glasses, but it looks like he's scrunching up his mouth in disdain or something. He makes me think of a sort of hoity-toity artist type or something.

Post by: kamakazee82 on July 13, 2012, 06:15:33 PM
he's not a fan of Hazel lol so that's what i was trying to go for with the upturned face ... Hazel kind of goes for any guy that moves while  Dilanger is much more reserved and isn't a fan of being touched (hence the hands behind his back too lol) ... two strikes against poor Hazel lol

the wig is a work in progress ... looks better than it did ... but getting a long haired girl doll wig to look non-girly is tough lol

Aha. LOL. He needs one of those "I'm with stupid" shirts with the arrow pointing to the person standing next to you. ;)

By the way, how did you get that shirt on him without his wings getting in the way? Did you cut holes in the back? Those wings really limit his options for shirts. I'm thinking my guy is going to spend most of his time shirtless ...

GAH! Kamakazee! *whines*  You've got the shirt I want!  Cameron's 'True Hope' shirt!  Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie!  I saw the dolls today again at TRU.  They were on sale.  A whole dollar off :rolleyes:


Cameron seems to be clogging the shelves.  I suppose that's a good thing (for me :lol:)  I cannot justify $14 for a shirt, and MAYBE a hat.  That hat looks a tad big on your guy (even with hair :P)  Then there's the whole mess of getting rid of the rest of the doll.  I don't sell online (yet >_<)  I keep searching ebay for one, but no one has any bits for sale yet.  Just MIB.  For $25.  Without shipping.  Sigh.


Anyway.  Enough about the shirt.  He looks great.  And I think that photo is gonna make me dig out that black/yellow dress.  I originally hated it, but I think it's growing on me :biggrin:

I managed to find a Dot Dead Gorgeous Spectra doll's head on eBay the other day.  But I think it is a little too purple.  So, I am going to add in some bits of blue to better match the skeleton girl's face.   The blue hair is a G1 My Little Pony tail.  ;)

What do you think?   I am hoping it will look really nice when I am finished!   Oh, and boiling the hair definitely works to get the harsh bump out of it from the rubber bands.   :biggrin:

She is going to look gorgeous!!  Great choice!  Is yours one of the soft caps or hard caps, and how are you dong the holes in the hard cap?   I certainly want to see what she looks like when she is done....is there any way you could take pics of all the holes in her head when you poke them?  I want to see so I have an idea of what I need to do for all my dolls xD  so many to rehair.... xD 

Also, that necklace looks great as a belt xD
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: wystearya on July 14, 2012, 10:20:04 AM
You read my mind, as I just came to post some progress pictures! 

She does have the hard cap, but it was not glued in and popped right off.  So, I took some pics of it:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
 visitors can't see pics , please register or login

You can see it has a half-circle shaped bit sticking out of the bottom of the cap.  I took my soldering iron and melted this part off. I ended up with just a disk.   I glued the disk back onto the head.   >> Melting off the rest made it *much* easier to melt in the holes.

With the use of a thick gauge needle heated in the flame of a candle, I was able to make holes for the hair in the hard cap.  It looks bad, but it was worse before sanding!

And here is the rest of her head covered in holes.  For these I just use a needle, no heat.  I first drew a line in pencil for her hairline and the rest was just a matter of poking lots of holes!

I hope this helps you TexasGal, and anyone else who is thinking about re-rooting one of the new CAM sets!   ^.^

This is just the single outermost row of hair.  It took some time, as I was placing the colors in a pattern here. 
Light purple, blue, light purple, dark purple, light purple, blue, etc..  The nape of the neck is solid light purple.  I will do the part in the pattern and probably the row behind the front row too.  The rest will all the be light purple.  I think she is going to look great in the end!

Ah! She looks amazing! I cannot wait to see WIP pics of her being rehaired, god, looks so exciting!

@grzankitter: i have yet to see EITHER of the boys on ANY shelf ANYWHERE around me ... i've have been through over 30 cases of the bratz/moxie true hope dolls and NOT A SIGLE BLOOMING BOY IN PERSON! arg! so i ordered them online ... :\ blarg ... and i wanted the dolls and the clothes, just so super cute in person lol (much better than the normal bratz boyz lol) the hat actually fits VERY well .. it just looks super huge on his head becausse of his cursid super duper extra floofy hair :( i'll try and get a pic of him in the hat with no wig, cause it looks nice too lol ... but the character has long dark hair with random white streaks ... so that wigs is PERFECT ... outside of the freaking floofy factor lol

I'd love to see a photo without the wig, if you don't mind.  Maybe boil straightening the wig would help, or cutting out some of the underside plugs, to make the wig less thick?  Although I think he looks fine as is:)  Mine is a baldy, I only want a hat to cover the hole in his head.  I want the shirt for the Puma boy to cover the mismatched arms.  I actually made one, but I'm not a Home Ick student :lol:  I made a hat too, which kinda turned into a durag :huh:

i've got some bratz boyz stuff he can look through (bright colorful stuff lol) and he can choose what he wants, i just have to get something figured out so i can get the kiddos on a day off or i can get over there to see them so he can see the stuff lol  yeah, he has the doll ( i got the girls the girl dolls and the two boys the boy dolls, online again lol) he just needs to realize that his big cousin has much better clothes for him than a "little ole bland boring white thermal long sleeved shirt" ... of major epicness lmao so he'd be getting a good wardrobe in exchange for the shirt/hat/possibly shorts (cause the pants aren't long enough *pouty face*) he usually sees reason cause he knows i'm not going to steer him wrong lol


pukunui ... i could die ... i saw the second wave of DotD dolls ONCE at a Kmart near me ... and never again ... what i would do for that Deuce and his stock ... ugh ... *shakes head* i was sooooo stupid not to buy them :\ i bet garboyle looks SMOKIN in his stuff and i soooo totally want to see a pic when you get the kilt please. :) all i can picture is total adorable handsomeness!

Yeah, you will want to use good hair.   If you going to take the time to re-root you want to fully enjoy the results!   So far I have used hair from other MH dolls.   Well, and a bit of old My Little Pony hair for this one.  heh!

Of course!  I know what I am doing for my Sea Monster, and I am not sure about the others though.  I did get the torsos for my Witch and Dragon today too, so that was nice!  I am going to rehair them all, though it may be one at a time xD  I doubt I'll have the patience to do a bunch at once.  How many hanks of hair do you think I would need for one doll?  I want to do at least long hair....I was thinking maybe 2?  I have no clue what I need entirely. 
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: wystearya on July 14, 2012, 06:30:00 PM
To be honest, I have no idea about how many hanks of hair you need.   As so far I have just taken hair from one doll and put it on another.  I didn't have to measure the amount.   Someone else should be able to tell you though!

I agree with doing one at a time.   I think it would be overwhelming to do more than that!

YAY! Finally one for the CAM's! I seriously love them more than the real MH characters! I can't wait to see the new sets that are supposed to be coming out. And seriously, Mattel needs to release the add on packs with their own torso...

Here's who I've got so far...
Jordan C. Howller, who is currently competing in ANTM Cycle 2 (if you haven't seen her yet!)

My sea monster, Nessie Loch, is in the process of a rehair, so no pictures of her yet, but I'll post a few when shes done!

Texas, I guess how much hair you'd need depends on how thick you want it! So far, I've gone through 2 hanks from restoredoll, and i'm not even halfway done with Nessie. I want her hair SUPER thick though, so I can leave the hard cap in her head alone, and just style the hair around it.

p.s. Sorry if these pictures end up giant, I tried to resize them in photobucket, but for some reason they are still showing up ginormus! :/

Post by: justkitter on July 14, 2012, 06:34:54 PM
wystearya:  What method do you use to rehair?  Needle?  Reroot tool?  Do you just clip a plug of hair at Spectra's scalp to use, or...... well I guess that's the only way, right?  Do you find re-using doll hair is cheaper than buying loose hair?  Your reroots look epic!  I'm gonna be doing my first really soon. I'm using the hair from a Moxie Teenz wig.  I think I was inspired to, by your blue haired werecat.  She's perfection:)  I never thought to re-use doll hair before.  It seems a lot easier that way.....

I like the blue better but the white would be really pretty if the fringe sat properly - but obviously can't because of her third eye :D
What wigs are they?

Post by: kamakazee82 on July 14, 2012, 08:47:49 PM
lol yeah, i'm working on taming the fringe lol, i've got a lot of wigs on the back burners so to speak lol

they're both Liv wigs. the blue is from a Liv for color doll and the blonde with stripes is off theAlice in wonderland Liv doll

i'm thinking the blue one too ... it's growing on me lol

I agree, the blue looks great. You could even put a few blonde streaks (or any color for that matter) into the wig for some contrast!

pukunui: OMG HE LOOKS AMAZING IN THE KILT! *makes with grabby hands* lol sooooooooo adorable!
I know, right? I got lucky because the Scotland Barbie I bought on eBay had had her head swapped, so I was the only bidder and it was only like $6. She also comes with bagpipes! I didn't want the Barbie, just the outfit and accessories, so I had it sent to a friend who's going to keep the doll and just send me the rest. Can't wait!

Yeah, sometimes it's worth waiting. It's just hard, though. We tend to get most things waaaaaay after everyone else does.  :huh:

yeah, which is certainly no fun ... buuuuuuut you can buy em and sell em to all of us who never saw em! lmao and he so totally needs the bagpipes! and i just looked, that's a heck of a score you got on the scotland barbie o_O lol


and thanks for the feedback everyone! :) i'm gonna stick with the blue for now ... and as my hairing/accentuating skills are non-existant no awesome streaks will be added ... but yellow, or even green would be gorgeous ... to tie her body combo in ... lol

Exactly. There are pros and cons. One of the big cons is that we don't have Target or Toys R Us in this country, so we tend not to get any of the exclusives. We also don't seem to get things like the CAM sets either unfortunately.

wystearya:  What method do you use to rehair?  Needle?  Reroot tool?  Do you just clip a plug of hair at Spectra's scalp to use, or...... well I guess that's the only way, right?  Do you find re-using doll hair is cheaper than buying loose hair?  Your reroots look epic!  I'm gonna be doing my first really soon. I'm using the hair from a Moxie Teenz wig.  I think I was inspired to, by your blue haired werecat.  She's perfection:)  I never thought to re-use doll hair before.  It seems a lot easier that way.....

I use the re-root tool made from a needle.  The eye of the needle has been cut, if you want more details I am sure there are guides you can find on google!  >> Oh, and you will want a good glue to use to secure the hair once your finished if you used this method.   People here recommended Fabritac.  It is waterproof and thick enough it is easy to work with.  I used this on my Purrsia (cat CAM) and I will be using it for my skeleton girl too!

For my cat girl, I already had the DT Ghoulia laying around from a custom I never did finish.  The color looked perfect to me, so I decided to just use that.  I also loved the texture!

For my new skeleton girl, I knew I wanted the hair to be super nice.   And I adore the hair my signature Spectra has!   I had seen pics of how long the Dot Dead Gorgeous Spectra is, and I knew I wanted to use it if possible!   I lucked out in finding the head only for sale on eBay.  Shipping was a little high for such a small item, but in total I paid $12 for the head & shipping.  I don't know if this is cheaper than buying just hair, as I haven't done so in years.   The last time I bought hair, I didn't like the texture.   So, for me it is just personal preference.   If I could find hair with a texture I liked I would buy it.   I've just had good results with using actual MH hair so far.  ;)

Oh, and I don't usually cut the hair off.   I take one, or two, plugs at a time and pull it out!   It has been coming out nicely for me, though you need to have a steady and sort of strong pull.  Most important is to pull just the hair from the plug you want and not any from a neighboring plug.   I use a needle to help me separate the hair.  I find this method has worked for both doll heads so far.  Though, I have cut a few plugs from the DT Spectra head.  The row directly behind her bangs (aka fringe) were impossible for me to see enough to separate, so I had to cut them.  I start from the outer row of hair and work my way in.

Anyway, I hope this is helpful for you!   I'm happy to have been inspiring, I myself was inspired by the work of others here too.   ^.^

wystearya:  Thank you for answering my questions!  I've got a re-retool I've made for myself already.  Your rehairs look so perfect, I just assumed you were doing it an old fashioned way.


kamakazee:  Dilanger looks so cute!  I'm sorry I prefer him without hair, but OMG, you've sold me on that hat!  Makes the hat I made mine look like.......fill in the blank :lol:  I was gonna comment on that beautiful wig, but then I scrolled further to realize you were asking for opinions:)  I love the blue one.  Looks so pretty againist her skin color.  Absolutely a keeper.
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: wystearya on July 15, 2012, 12:53:57 PM
grzankitter - No problem!   One trick is to make sure that the outermost row of hair has the plug holes as close together as you can make them.  >As close as you can without tearing the plastic!  And the second row should be offset so that it fills in the spaces between plugs in the first row.  This makes a nice hairline and allows the rest of the hair to be spaced out further.  ;)

Oh, and if you want a nice part in the hair you will need to plan for that too.   Making two rows of plugs close together for where you want the part to be.   I saw a tutorial for this online, I am sure google will be helpful!

Thank you for the run down on how you reroot your cam heads! Question though - how do you actually get the hair through the holes you made in your hard cap - i.e just stuff more in? Do they still hold well like if you were to put hair in the regular holes or does the hair tend to fall out before you glue everything?

Hope that makes sense!

Yes, that makes sense to me! 

I do have to use more hair for the holes in the hard cap.  It is not unusual for me to use 4-5 plugs (from the donor doll's head) per hole.  This is because the head cap holes are larger.   And, since they don't stretch like the vinyl part of the head, they can be a little difficult.  Not impossible, just a little harder to do than the rest of the head.   I did end up just stuffing the rectangular wig hole with hair.   I got several plugs worth and glued the very ends together and let that dry until the glue was tacky and then pushed it into the hole.   I ended up needing more and repeated the process until it seemed enough hair.   This I saved for last so that I could glue the inside of the head right after.   It worked for my cat girl, so far she hasn't lost any plugs of hair, just a few lose strands!   So, I will be doing the same when I get that far on my skeleton.  :)

I just bought the werewolf/dragon starter set & used the werewolf parts for my CAM skeleton :) They're a good colour match, the werewolf parts are a greyer colour, but I feel it fits well as it looks like dead skin kind of. It's saved me the money of having to buy seperate parts, & I sold the rest of the werewolf parts on Ebay as I didn't want them.

Introducing the twins, Karma (left) and Mara (right). I'm sorry for taking yet another picture of that green dress, but it's the only strapless one I have. Her bolero thing is Gloom Beach Cleo's sarong, and she has the shoes from that set too.

Thanks guys! :D The yarn rehairing is really easy... and I'll share my lazy secret with you - I dont rehair the whole head, just a few layers around the front, and then pull it back into that pony tail. Its the perfect thickness - rehairing all of it with yarn would get really big really fast, which might look good on some dolls, but isnt my cup of tea.

I've finally settled on a name for my CAM gargoyle: Flint MacQuarrie. He is from Aberdeen in Scotland (anyone want to have a stab at pun-ifying that place name? ).

He appears to be quite the ladies' man. First Lagoona and now Rochelle:

Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: Gingerbread on July 20, 2012, 12:54:27 PM
I originally wanted to go black, then red, but the wig I have I want for when my dragon torso turns up as it looks better on her.
Lucy has a soft head so I am half tempted to rehair her, especially as I have a spare skelly head knocking around somewhere. I have two different hanks of red, several shades apart, can't decide if they'd look OK or not.
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: mermaid_splash on July 20, 2012, 01:37:32 PM
I already used my soft skeleton head so I am stuck rooting around the hole and patching it with donor plastic.  I am thinking of doing something totally nonsense and using yellow hair and doing a face up to change her look a bit.

Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: Gingerbread on July 20, 2012, 01:57:32 PM
Do you heat the needles before making the holes or is the plastic soft enough to just use a large needle?

The great thing about the Skeleton CaM is that she really works with any hair color. I personally think that she looks best in bright, un natural colors. But that's just me :3

Here she is in different colors:

I have a question about the CAM - disclaimer - I'm not a MH collector.  ^_^

I picked up a Draculaura doll at the thrift store yesterday and she has no arms below the elbow (for $2!).  I gave her to my little sister (who's 11) as she collects MH dolls.  Is she a candidate for CAM...?  I don't know if the CAM comes with the torso, but if not, how would she disassemble the doll to rebuild her as something else?

Zombelina - I love the vamp in purple! She looks gorgeous.

Cloud-weaver - the regular dolls peg-holes are smaller than the CAM doll pegs, so you can either whittle them Cam pegs down or drill the regular dolls peg holes :)

But, I heard somewhere that you can get spare parts for regular dolls? Does anyone have any info on this?

Salli:  I haven't seen anyone use the ear clips well.  I, like most people, cut the clip part off, and pierce a small hole in the wig cap where you'd like the ears to be placed.  Then push the ear 'pegs' into the holes you made.  I've heard other people glue the ears to the head, too.  Not sure if that's a good method or not.  Anybody?

Someone else (can't remember who, sorry) glued their ears to nails and popped those into the head too.  I think I might try this next.  It sounds much more sturdy.  Hoped one of these ideas inspired you:)

My Nymeria is the CAM werewolf.  I snipped the clips off the ears and glued them to nails, then poke the nails through tiny slits in the wig and her skull.

a new one for the Skeleton girl repetoire. Glow in the dark green polypropylene. It's like ratty straw and I dislike it intensely. Luckily I gave the client a discount 'experiment' price because I also did a scalp transplant (which I hadn't gotten around to doing myself yet)

Hi ya'll!

So, I got the Seamonster/Vamp CAM set. I used the Vampire to put my ghost girl on, because she has a pink and black wig. I have no pics of her yet, but the sea monster I used all for herself, adding the cool blue/blonde liv wig. I want to add some green streaks layer/

I only have one picture, and it was starting to rain, so just an introduction. Here she is, Calypso!

Aw thanks! :hug: Mostly a TON of brushing, and I sort of twisted the locks of the long red one to control the frizz. And trimmed the purple bob a little to even it. The boys needed hats because there was no fixing theirs XD But really I think I got lucky with relatively nice wigs to begin with!

It's pretty cool, isn't it? I cut off the lacy bits on the vest and also cut the toes off the socks. Well, actually, my wife did all that.

In case anyone is wondering about the shoes - they're DotD Deuce's shoes. I just recolored them in photoshop.

The only thing that's missing is a sporran. I'm going to have to see if I can find one that's the right size. Scotland Barbie didn't come with one since she's a girl.

Most people use Liv Doll wigs, which you can find at any store that sells toys for a few dollars. And some get their's rooted, and I've seen a few given custom BJD wigs.

Hey ghouls!

Just bought my first CAM set on Ebay! *woot woot!* can't wait till it gets here! :D

You gals make the prettiest new monsters, i'm having so much fun watching all your pics... i have a question for ya:

Do you use the wigs that come in the packs or do you do a total new look with dollyhair or something? Every doll here looks so different and i'm wondering how you guys work!

Most people use Liv Doll wigs, which you can find at any store that sells toys for a few dollars. And some get their's rooted, and I've seen a few given custom BJD wigs.

Thank you! :) I don't know if we have such stores in Holland... will do some searches!

Sir Bedevere: "How do you know she is a witch?"
Peasant: "SHE TURNED ME INTO A NEWT!"
Sir Bedevere: "A newt?" *dramatic pause and looks at peasant*
Peasant: "Well ... i got better." *scratches ear*

How does everyone get around the liv wigs covering up the CAM girls ears? Do you just whittle down the peg enough that the wig doesn't fully sit on the sit?

I didn't get around it at all XD I already had the pegs whittled down when I realized that the cap would come down over their ears. It doesn't bother me though, since I have the hair left down and it covers up the ears

my torsos came today but really the only ones to befit were Bellatrix, an as yet unplanned out dragon girl, and the the still hairless Mera. But Neri got a change of clothes since I'm resigned to the fact that I won't be getting another Lagoona uniform anytime soon so I changed that lagoona into it. Neri's grown beyond that role anyway XD

Sea Monster 'stock' including shoes. I'm thinking of repainting the buckles teal. the purple doesn't pop very well against her skintone

Bellatrix is so thrilled to have matching limbs because the ones I painted were complete and utter dren. srsly. She'd also like a outfit that isn't nearly the same color as her skin.

She's from the dragon&werewolf pack (although i left the ears out so no wolf ;) thinking maybe i want to repaint face, not sure.
I made Ursula's Daughter (from Ariel movie :P ) But i don't have a name for her yet! Oh, and i made this dress too, it's my first selfmade dress everrr!

have any of our expert rehairers (particularly those who have patched the hard plastic bit of the skulls) done any vid or pic tutorials yet?  I'm getting the itch to use some of my vast stock of hair on the CAM pieces I'm amassing....  The patching is the part that concerns me the most tbh since I can't even picture how to go about doing that and was considering just leaving a huge bald spot and styling over it  :blink:
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: mermaid_splash on August 15, 2012, 02:00:00 PM
I've been stalling, sorry.  I have a skeleton ready to go to show you all but I am being picky about what colors I want to root her.  The witch I just posted isn't patched.  I removed the hard plastic and stuffed some curls in there so I could have that piled rockabilly look for her.

I will take pics of the skeleton as soon as I can be more decisive.

I really want to get a CaM pack but I have a qustion or two. One, do any of the packs come with two torsos I thought the vampire/sea monster one did but now I'm not so sure. And two do liv wigs fit or really how well do they fit on the CaMs?

Recently 2 Torso packs have been released, and that includes the vampire/seamonster pack. But I suggest you buy in store, because a lot of the online stores only have 1 torso packs.

As for Liv wigs, they fit really well. At their worst, you just have to stick some double sided tape on your dolls head.

I know at least for Lensey shes going to get some orange, if not her whole head...Like Barnacle orange. The other two are still up in the air...Honey I think is going to get purple with some yellow streaks, but Hadley....I got nothing. I want to keep the hair colors complementary to their skin colors, but that gets tricky when one of them is white! lol

Jiggles, that is a possibility! I haven't had much time to think about colors this weekend like I wanted. I had a TON of stuff going on. But heres what I'm thinking so far:

Lensey ~ Orange of some sort, leaning towards the same color as Barnacle
Hadley ~ "Cherry Pie" red with a second color that is yet TBD...
Honey ~ Not a frickin' clue! She is currently wearing a blonde Liv wig that is starting to grow on me...so we'll see about colors...

I'm open to suggestions!!

I just got into MH CAMs.  I have the skeleton and dragon right now.  I'm waiting on the 3 eyed ghoul and sea monster.  My mom has the bee.  I really like them because I open them!  I keep my regular MH dolls in the boxes.

Here are all my CAMs, siblings not getting along as usual.  Ok, they don't all have names, so I am always up for help, and I am trying to get choices pinned down for their hair as well.  xD 

The 3 vamps are triplets, with the middle boy always picking on his sister, but the oldest of the boys kinder and more defending of his sister.  Thankfully, it's all in fun.  The oldest brother also is rather fond of his skelly girlfriend.  =]  she needs it since she is always falling apart and delicate.

The lounging gargoyle thinks he is the sexiest thing ever, but it really just a joking guy that loves Rochelle.  The gargoyle with Guinevere (my sea monster) is currently Rochelle's cousin. 

The 3 eyed girl and the wolf are besties, as are the bee, dragon, and witch. 

I really do love the cams, especially since they are so customizable and fun.  =D

Thank you Tuney!! I wasn't sure what I was going to do with her, but I'm so pleased the way her wig turned out. Your Triclops looks like such a badass with her hair styled like that! I think i'm going to go buy another CAM set and root one of the heads with yarn. I have this ah-mazing turquoise wool left over from the mittens I crocheted last winter... I think it would look good on the sea monster...or the wolf...I wouldn't mind having a wolf 3-pack... Louisa is almost finished after all... *ponders*

The wonderful think about the yarn is that, hairstyle-wise, you can do virtually anything with it - straight hair, curly hair, ponytail, pigtails, a big poof, you can part it to the left, right, down the middle. You can shape it any way you want, and it stays!

Me too! It's amazing how a different wig can change a monster so completely. I almost regret having most of my CAMs rehaired. It would be a blast changing out their hairstyles all the time. At the same time, it almost feels as if they have no sense of identity if their hair isn't permanent...
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: bewilderness on September 02, 2012, 09:41:51 PM
At first with the CAMs, I hated having wigs.  I wanted to rehair all of them.  But now, I'm loving the wigs, and being able to change their look just by swapping a wig.  The concept has really grown on me...like everything else with Monster High lol.

I made a new wig for my sea monster girl.  I was inspired by G1 Powder's color scheme.  I still want to make another one for her, a dark purple with a green stripe.  Or maybe green with a dark purple stripe.

Lol, I can't keep up either. I am glad they keep releasing new non-main-characters *coughs*hasbro*coughs*. And I am glad that they seem to be getting the fact that we don't like the packs missing pieces. I feel so sad thinking about some kid getting a CAM pack and taking it home to realize that they don't have a toy to play with, just a pile of body parts. :(

Also, could someone give me some tips as to what other doll clothing can fit MH boys? These are my first guys and I don't have much to dress them in. ^^;
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: Cate_Dartfinger on September 16, 2012, 03:57:35 PM
Ken doll clothes fit, with a little bit of tweaking. Pants are too big in the waist, but if you pin them they'll fit. The shirts fit, but pretty loosely.
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: justkitter on September 16, 2012, 04:09:05 PM
IF I remember what I've read, Barbie jeans fit better than Ken's, and Bratz Boyz tops fit.  Bratz Boyz pants are a bit too short for the CAMs, but shorts should do.

Correct me if I'm wrong, anybody:)

I'll have another CAM in time, waiting on a purchase and the time to do another re-root.  ;)

That's an older cat girl, isn't it? The one I just got doesn't have any white markings. I like the markings but I think I like having a torso for my witch better.

You can also make your own wigs...This link will take you to a tutorial on how to make a super easy wig, and in the beginning there is a website that you can get free swatches of the faux fur from. This is the method I use for my CAMS that I can't find a Liv wig for. Hadley is my skelly girl, and shes got a faux fur wig. Shes on my Flickr, the link is in my sig if you want to see examples!

Both Liv and Moxie Girls wigs are supposed to fit MH CAMs. I know the Livs fit, as most of my CAMs have them.

I think the Moxie Girl wigs are too big.......I think:)  Anyone know for sure?  I'm ALMOST sure :lol:

I really need to get with ordering the torso pack. For some reason I thought the Mystical add on would come with all the body parts, but no. Bee still has blue limbs too.

As as aside, has anyone else gone "Why do you not have ears! Glasses no stay on!" at their Bee girl? >.>

At least the one I have, it kind fits, in that I can sit it on her head and it doesn't like, totally eat her face. But if you imagine how Liv wigs are actually visually pretty big already (like, I know some people don't like them because it just looks like too much/too big hair for a willowy MH doll), and then imagine that Moxie wigs are even BIGGER, it's some seriously voluminous hair. I actually think mine might be too much, visually, for me, and I like big hair (I have no problem with the Liv wigs size). Basically your mileage may vary.

You also definitely have to use double-sided tape or some similar thing to keep it from sliding off, even more so than a pegless Liv wig (which could use it, but doesn't necessarily have to have it like the Moxie wig).

I got myself a Skeleton in the mail, now I have all the wave 1 CaM (including soft heads :D) All also have complete bodies thanks to the torso pack from mattel

and I also just had the most amazing thought...
A Normie Girl CaM pack

How awesome would that be to anyone else? Am I the only one? I just think even though it would say 'normie' she could still be just about ANYTHING else....like a witch with NOT-GREEN skin or...whatever else you can think of...that I can't right now.

All of the werecat girls have hard caps. :\ They were released after the switch was made. The only ones you'll find with soft caps are the vampire/sea monster, werewolf/dragon, insect, skeleton and triclops, and those are the original versions, so they'll be harder to find because they're all being rereleased with hard caps. Everything from that point onward is hard.

And she looks fantastic. I know you're not the only one to paint your sea monster's tentacles and fins, but yours is the one that's inspired me the most to try it for myself. We'll see how we get on. I'm OK with painting solid colors. I'm not so good with shading.

I'll give you guys a hint: my sea monster is going to have a local New Zealand theme. I haven't settled on a name for her yet, but once I do that and have a go at painting her up a bit, then I'll take some pics. I also eventually want to find a special outfit for her, but I'll have to do some hunting for it, so in the meantime, I've got her in Ghoulia's Gloom Beach outfit, which looks pretty good on her.

OK, I've settled on a name for my sea monster: Manaia Moana.

'Manaia' is the Maori name for sea horses, and 'moana' is their word for the sea. There's nothing particularly relevant about sea horses other than that they are sea creatures. I mainly just liked that word better than any other sea-themed Maori name or word. The other option I was considering, though, is Hinewai, which is a Maori name that means "water maiden".

The traditional Maori colors are red, black and white. I haven't got a traditional Maori outfit for her, so I've dressed her up in Ghoulia's Gloom Beach outfit, which is mainly red, black and white, so it that'll do for now.

I can't wait to show her off. Hopefully I'll get a chance to paint her leg fins and tentacles tomorrow so I can take some pics.

Hinewai! *Drool* Love that name!
Really? I just feel like it doesn't roll off my tongue as nicely as Manaia does. It's pronounced "HEE-neh-why", by the way. Hine = girl, wai = water.

There's also Hinemoana, which means "sea maiden", and is the name for the personification of the sea.

that cat is a "Wihmsy pets" and I've found them in TRU Walmart and Kmart...they have little Velcro "hands" and they fit really nicely as large plushies.

I lost my kitty about a year back, he was very sick, but this little grey kitty reminds me of him, and since all witches need a familiar, she gets Ash. My cat used to ride around on my head the same way. :)

jewel of the sea (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pukunui81/8058886151/) by pukunui81 (http://www.flickr.com/people/pukunui81/), on Flickr

I haven't painted her tentacles or fins yet, but I wanted to show her off anyway. I love her wig. It reminds me of seaweed floating in the water or something. I have named her Kahurangi-o-te-Moana, which means "jewel of the sea" in Maori. She is the daughter of the taniwha, a kind of mythical Maori monster that lives in rivers and the sea. Some were mean and ate people, others acted as guardians of the land and the local tribes (and therefore only ate people from enemy tribes).

Her moko kauae (female chin tattoo) was added in photoshop. If I ever feel brave enough, I might actually paint one on her chin. I'm just not sure I've got the skills for it.

I actually just did the same thing today! I did a dark blue with a periwinkle type blue for the ridges on the fins and the suction cups on her tentacles. I did the ear fins that way as well. Oh, and I did her finger/toe nails in periwinkle, too. It really does make her look so much better!

I cut the peg and clip off, drilled a little hole in the bottom, and pushed in a small nail through the bottom of the wig into the bottom of the ear. Stays on great.

Post by: Foxy_Ninja on October 25, 2012, 05:43:52 PM
Hey Salli, my CAM witch (former vamp) is inspired by the Worst Witch, hence the last name Hardbroom. Her mother is the famed Miss Hardbroom, deputy Head of Miss Cackle's Academy for Witches. She splits her time between Weirdsister College (in Cambridge England) and Monster High. Her name is Morgance Circe Hardbroom and her middle name is after her mother Constance's mother's own middle name. Her first name is after her Aunt Morgana  and mother;'s cat. Morgance is a mashup of Morgana and Constance. Circe is either pronounced (sur-see, or serrsae, as I had a friend with that name and that was what she was named).

They could also be rejigging the set to include torsos for some of the other CAMs, like the puma boy and the upcoming siren and harpy.

This is true. I didn't know they were releasing a siren CAM! I'm intrigued...

I really hope this is the case. >,<; I need those torsos but never had the opportunity to get it and I hope they bring them back.

Thanks, Ravie. But I need the upper limbs plus the torso for a doll I am making for someone for Christmas. I didn't even know about the Siren and Harpy packs! I love them (except for the still missing chunks) and the fact that sirens are not water creatures (rolls eyes), that is a mermaid. But I just so happen to want a mermaid anyway XD Yay for Puma limbs and torso! Also, they need the upper limbs of the Mystical and Nocturnal sets.

I may be crazy but I wish Mattel would just come out with 'Bucket-O-Torsos' and 'Bucket-O-Legs' etc... and have them in like 12 colors. What kid doesn't want a bucket of limbs, I ask you?  :snicker: Also they need a bucket-o-shoes.

Puku, that is such a great photo! I still love your camera. Yes, you are a way better photographer than I am, but I still hold that my camera sucks. When I get a new one I will do a photoshoot and shoot the same shot with both cameras to see if I am right or wrong ;)

I should point out that I do a lot of post-processing in photoshop, so my camera probably isn't as deserving of all the credit it gets.

My main complaint is that is has no shutter speed adjustment. I still think this camera sucks, my last camera was much better. I bought this one thinking "OOOoo! It's newer, so it's newer technology right?" Wrong. And I feel like the pix it takes are really grainy. Well, more grainy than my old camera.

But enough about my silly camera :)

I AM soooooooo excited for the new ice girl and the mermaid ("Siren") and harpie!

YellowCat, what type paint did you paint your Cat CAM with? I've been thinking about buying another Witch.Cat set, but I seriously dislike the pink cat, and painting her black would be just perfect for me.

I used Testor's Acrylic, it adheres to most plastic well and goes on well- it's highly pigmented so you only need a few layers.  The only problem is is doesn't stick to joints well, I think I might try some nail polish on the joints and see how that works.

I've about finished my Dragon CAM Tia McMet, playing on the dragon name Tiamet XD

Tia is obsessed with gems and jewels, particularly pearls seeing as she's a water dragon. She's a compulsive hoarder and despite trying not to, if she finds something she loves, she has to add it to her hoard, which she carries with her in her backpack (which is a WIP XD ) When someone in monster high looses something, they ask her and has becomeknown as something of a lost and found. If she's really attached to what she's found, even if the other person is the rightful owner, she'll only relinquish owner ship if she looses a challenge to the opposing monster. She's kind, but protective of her horde, and if she suspects someones trying to steal it, she obsesses over keep her stash safe. The blood Ruby in her ear is rumored to belong to royalty. Tia however will never say.

My Gargoyle, Stone LeFeate, is currently perusing her heart.

KTT: She's really cute! Great choice of name, by the way. As a D&D player, I know Tiamat as the multi-headed goddess of the evil chromatic dragons.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - if only that dragon girl wasn't pink! She would quite possibly be my favorite doll of them all if it weren't for that. Sigh ...

My best guy friend (Clawheart her eon the arena) Is HUGE into DnD and he's given me a quick education on the dragons in it. :D I'm delighted you got the reference!!

You know, the pink put me off for a long long time myself. I was looking at her at Kmart the other day and thought 'I can work with this'. My explanation for the pinkish coloring has to do with her being a marine dragon (though I want to accent her with some shiny acrylics to keep with her chromatic scheme ;) ) I thought she looked mermaidish or like a tropical fish with the salmon y coloration. Thank yo much for commenting on her sweetie!

To be honest, the more I see her, the less the pink skin bothers me. I should probably get one before they become too hard to find. Unfortunately, we don't have any of the CAM sets here in NZ, so I'll have to find someone to buy me one and send it over.

Where did you get her wig by the way? And did it come with that braid, or did you put it in yourself?

The pink grew on me after awhile too. I have a whole slew of dragon characters but only one of them is pink...but not flourescent pink. i'd be sadly screwed (all my money!) if she'd been the silver one in that pack *dies* and if I didn't genereally dislike Ghoulia's face/sculpt...anyways...

grzankitter - XD he is so funny back there. I thought it would suit me well to have someone in the background doing something. More 'real' that way

Wouldn't it be cool if they came out with a "print-on-demand" CAM doll? So like you could choose what color and what accessories and the like. Maybe when 3D printing becomes a little more mainstream ...

Anyway, I've gotten into Lady Gaga's music lately, and as I often find inspiration in song lyrics, I decided to have a little fun with Flint. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Ruby Rock!

The wig came with the cam but I did the hair myself. It was pretyt unruly but not impossible. I picked the pack with the nicest wig, shampooed and conditioned it, combed it out under hot water and began styling.I swept the bangs and trimmed them quite a bit so the wig didn't look so unnatural. I'm going to be making a cuff for her hair out of sculpy next time I get motivation ^^

i picked up a create a monster design lab mystical pack thinking i could make my own monster high doll, but it turns out i dont have all the parts to create one. does having the actual lab have the spare parts i need to make my doll? the pack does not come with thigh legs or upper arms. i didnt think of that before i bought it. i didnt get why it came with a second head. so now since i dont have those parts, im more than likely will have to return it, maybe pay an extra $10 to get the double cams, if there is one i like. i was hoping to customize my own.
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: pukunui on October 31, 2012, 07:29:04 PM
Yeah, the add-on packs are like that. They're missing parts. Mattel seems to have thought that kids would want to mix-and-match rather than want to have all matching body parts. They did briefly have some torsos for all the older add-ons for sale but they seem to have disappeared from their site for the moment.

Love those CAM Cate!! I'm making over a werewolf CAM but I happened across a LIV wig at a thrift store, and when I put it on she looked like a clone of Jordan XD Back to the drawing board!!

Since leaving ANTM, Jordan has started mentoring a few new models. Shes also sporting a new, blunter set of bangs (fringe).
And pierced ears!

Also, the three-eyed ghoul normally gives me the creeps, but yours looks pretty sweet in that awesome wig.

Thanks you guys!

KTT~ DO IT! She could be a Jordan groupie! lol I was actually thinking about trying to see if I can find one more of this wig, and I was going to chop it short, like shoulder length, so only her bangs were pink. However, that wig is becoming harder and harder to find...(shakes fist at LIV's being discontinued!!)

Puku~ I know what you mean. I had such a hard time with her at first, that third eye is just...*shivers* That wig came in a 2 pack with some luggage, I didn't even intend on using that wig at all. Once I popped it on her though, I was like.. "DONE!" I wanted to re-hair her in Firebird (Barnacle's color) but this auburn works much better I think.

lol!! It's a blonde and pink wig, but not exactly like Jordans! I'd totally make her a groupie if I didn't already have plans for her personality. I'll keep the CAM thread posted on it, It looks like I'll be rooting her some hair

OK, so I've finally gotten around to painting Kahu, my sea monster. I've painted her fins a lovely royal purple (and I'm thinking of painting the spines black just for a bit more color), and I've painted her fingernails the same color, but I'm not sure if I want to also use it for her tentacles or if I should make them a different color.

I'm still trying to figure out how best to pain her moko on her chin, though.


Oh, and I'm still trying to work out my CAM dragon's name. All I know is that she looks Slavic to me, so I'm trying to come up with something Eastern European-sounding that is a play on "George and the dragon".

I was thinking Georgia as a first name initially, but I may go with Georgiana instead. Still playing around with surnames: Drakonova, Drakoneva, Drakovina, Dragonovic, etc.

EDIT: I think I'm gonna go with Georgiana Dragonova. Sounds a bit like "Georgie an' a dragon". LOL.

I finally took pics of my ghouls, I know they aren't painted, but I am still working on the ideas of who they are.
Bonehilda- named after the Sims skeleton maid. I really love the idea of a skeleton maid. I haven't figured out how to make the fur wig without a "bubble" in it.

I just hide it under the wig cap. Then I took some hair and bent it forward, and strighten the whole wig with a flat iron.

I got my first CAM set last night. It came with the cat and witch.

I'm quite disappointed in the cat. That's what I wanted the set for. I didn't know they were just barettes. I figured they'd  someone connect to the actual doll's head somewhere. Sorry to be a downer. I was just really excited about getting her and I'm really not happy with how the ears are.

I don't think anybody is happy with those ears, tbh. I'm sorry you're disappointed, though. I hate being let down by somethng I was excited for.

I cut the pegs and clips off, and drilled a tiny hole in the bottom of them. Then I stuck nails through the wig, and into the ear.
{sounds painful, doesn't it?}

This was the end result.

I have also recently cut about a half inch of the bottom of the ears. I need to take a more recent pic of her.

Gotta go back and touch some things up (mostly the eyebrows) and actually order the hair color I want (probably DH Vampire), but I'm pretty happy with her. I just... don't want to look at her for a few days, painting her was such a pain.  :drunk:

I've still got a few more little details to do on her, but shes pretty much done.

BRITTANY MURPHY?!!?

YEP! And maybe a little Lady Gaga? (minus the meat hat and weird outfits)


Dragona's hair came at the expense of a bald Masquarade that I had meant to rehair, but I'm kind of glad on that decision. I've got to shorten her up a smidge in the length, since the MLP hair is pretty heavy on her head, she doesn't want to stand up straight. (Dang me and my super thick re roots!) Nessie has the same problem.  :huh:

BUT! Shes pretty so thats all I care about right now!  :lol:

Hey guys, my first contribution to the thread.  I don't normally post pics of my dolls, as I like to keep them stock, and who wants to see crappy phone photos of dolls most of you already own?  Nobody, that's who.

Anyways, I bought a couple of double packs recently not realising they don't have 2 wigs.  So I had to get some wigs for my dolls.  I am loving my werewolf, so I had to share.  I can't take photos for crap, so sorry about that, but still, what do you think??

She did come with a top but I didn't like it. It's kind of long and I thought it was too much with her tail. I don't have a picture but you can kind of see it in any of the stock pictures. It's pink and blue and ties around the neck with a black string.

The Harpy comes with a really pretty purple dress with a feather pattern. I wish I had snagged the Harpy set when I bought my Siren.

I finally managed to style Georgina's wig in a satisfactory manner. I was going for a Russian peasant look. Here she is with Jinafire:

What do you think?


I've decided that while Jinafire is an aspiring sculptor and fashionista (as per her travel diary), Georgina is an athlete specializing in a particularly fiery style of aerobatics. She hopes to make it to the next Monsterlympic Games.

I hadn't seen the siren before, the face seems to be a different style then the other CAMs and dolls, that's interesting. Her eyes are so big- I like it thought.
Poor Masquerade, but the hair looks really really lovely on Dragona!
You guys make me wanna go out and buy spoils for my Cams... must resist...

Newest arrival Rochelle has been making friends. I've read some people have trouble getting the CAM siren to stand but Io stands up well for me. Although she is a lot shorter than everybody else.

yeah i can do that when i get home. its really hard to tame lol, but i just did a hot glue method with a black wig (my size) that i deconstructed. it sticks out in funny directions in some places, and gives her "BIG" hair.

I've been collecting monster high for awhile but never CAMs. Picked up the vampire and gargoyle boys tonight...I'm kind of disappointed to see only one wig comes with the pack but 2 monsters. What does everyone do for their second monster?

I'm no artist and doubt I could do my own hair, so looking for easy suggestions :) ill play around with them and then post pics! :)

Hi everybody! Christmas came a little early in my house... and that means I finally have some CAMs of my own! Most of them are hairless at the moment, but one of them is all wigged up and dressed up :D

This is my first time taking a picture of one of my dolls, so please forgive the amateurness of it :blush:

The outfit is all Bratz clothes and the wig is one I found on eBay for super cheap and figured I'd take a chance on. I'm really happy with how it turned out!

The CAMs I got are really great, for the most part, all nice and firm joints (just one loose elbow, but it's not loose enough to fall out) and great face-ups (I ordered from Amazon, so it was risky). I'm really happy with them!

LIVs have been discontinued:(  They were all marked down and bought out.  You MIGHT get lucky, and find something, but I doubt it:(  You can find them on Ebay for a good price, though.  Something to keep in mind is that LIV wigs are just a little large on MH.  Most times the cap covers the ears, and if you are anything like me, that may bother you:)  The ear molds are too unique to cover up, I say!  You may find extra MH wigs in the Sales and Trades Thread here......

Shes really pretty what color wig will she get? The ethetral hand makes me think of Kitty Pryde from the X-me, like she can phase shift through objects and stuff. Or maybe thats her hand that reads the "history" of objects and people. I hope that makes sense.

Ah ha! Gimme my hand :P Ah well I am calling Mattel when they open today to see if they will send me a proper hand so I can send them the other hand. :P Worse case scenario is they say no and maybe we can do a swap LOL

As for color of wig that's kinda of a surprise but let's just say she will look like a wolf when I am done with her and it's not just going to be a wig...there may be a furry tail too. Just hope it turns out the way I want it to.

Oh and if you all want a quick fix to make the ears go on any CAM's cut the durn tabs off as far down as you can file the rest that's left down. Warm them up to make them soft (I stuck mine over a heater for a minute or so) and I cut off the end of a needle (be careful the little end goes flying :O ) jabbed that end into the ear with a pair of needle nose pliers and fit it in one of the holes where the hair comes out :P Viola no more plastic ears flopping about. I don't recommend this way if you are going to have kids playing with them but if not for display purposes it's a whole lot easier then drilling holes and screwing things into heads and wigs.

Ooh, you guys should definitely contact Hasbro! I sent in an email about my Warewolf pack (it came with two left feet, LITERALLY!), and they sent me a brand new pack as a replacement! ^_^ I would have been happy with just a right foot, but I think it might be cheaper/easier for them to just send a new one. It's worth a shot!!

SO. After watching the tutorial from the "creators" idea thieving no good for nothing *grumble grumble grumble* for the CAM Lab & following the instructions to the T and making sure I got everything lined up - I am happy with how they turned out. Tip - chin needs to touch the lip of the tray, watch how your arrows line up, presoak the sponge either directly in the reservoir & place back in the holder or pump the water in,  and wait until the LED eyes stop flashing (takes around 20-30 seconds), have the little sponge ready & slightly damp to work out bubbles & wrinkles. They weren't perfect but at last it is not as wonky as earlier faces.

I sent in an email about my Warewolf pack (it came with two left feet, LITERALLY!), and they sent me a brand new pack as a replacement! ^_^ I would have been happy with just a right foot, but I think it might be cheaper/easier for them to just send a new one. It's worth a shot!!

I've already contacted Mattel & they sent me a $20 voucher a while back (like a year ago - ish) since they don't carry replacement parts.  :)

Made a little dress for my CAM Marion and she had to borrow some of Abbey's goodies. Picture quality sucks but it was taken yet again with my fail cell phone :P

After seeing your CAM's I really want that darn torso pack. I didn't get to call them today and I am going to assume even if I did they would have closed down early so now I have to wait until Wednesday lol.

Thanks ! :) I originally just bought the outfit for my Gargoyle but then my husband hated the stock outfit my Vamp was in and I hated even more the outfit he was placed into (he was wearing Abby's wave 1 dress  :shocked:)  so I had to buy another pair of jeans. LOL! She also ships really quick - never had to wait more than 3 business days to get my order. My husband has done some strange things to my dolls...

Totally in love with my two new CAMs! I mixed up the Mummy with the Skeleton to make a really cute ghoul! Her name is Ami Unra, and I couldn't be more happy with her!

I took 2.0 Lagoona's necklace and Sister Clawdeen's bracelets and gave them to my gorgon, Eulexa. I'm looking for another Cleo Wave 1 belt to give her too. I just love that pop of gold on her!!

I posted a way to do it a few posts back. I heated up the ears after clipping off the tabs and stuff and filing them down carefully as far as I could. I then used wire cutters to cut the ends off little sewing needle pins (the round ball part). Finally I used needle nose pliers and used sheer womanly brute strength to push them into the flat bottom part of the ear in the center (after I had warmed up the ears a bit to make it a little easier). Then just push them into a hole where the holes are in the wig where the hair comes out and it will go through the plastic soft part of the head too.

Hope this helps :) If you need pics I will try to get some later today (Wednesday).

Re: CAM ears - You need a drill and two small screws, but I came up with a way to install them super securely. :D Cut/sand the useless clip hardware from the bottom of the ears, then drill a small hole a few millimeters in on the bottom of each ear. Then drill holes in the head where you want the ears to go, push the screws up inside the head through the neck (a little tricky, not gonna lie. i use forceps to hold them) so that the tips of the screws stick out of the holes you drilled, then just screw the ears on!

(lol guess who)

The best part of this is that the ears now have rotational articulation, which is great for emoting!

I had to shop around for parts a bit, hehe. I used an older soft-crowned head for rerooting, but the newer torso is perfect for tails! What I did was take a thick section of hair, fold it in half, tie it in place with some rubbery elastic bead thread (for added friction) then superglued it in place. That way, individual strands won't fall out when you brush it.

Oh man, Saply!
This is going to be the best Rarity custom in history of history.

Probably just Rarity for now. I don't really like painting the bodies if I can avoid it, so unless they release more stuff with pointy ears I'm kinda stuck. I've seen a Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie before that looked pretty sweet though!

Rarity custom is so amazing! Keep those pictures coming because she is stunning!

ETA: Would you have to paint a lot of the bodies? There's some colors that already exist but I'm not sure how well it would work with the existing heads. There's the bee body for Fluttershy, 3 eyed ghoul for Rainbow Dash, and maybe sea monster for Twilight Sparkle?
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: saply on January 03, 2013, 06:10:16 PM
Oh right! I forgot about the bee! If I can find a soft-crowned bee head, Fluttershy is definitely next.

Three-eyed ghoul might be too saturated for RD, but a de-glittered Abbey might look good! I could also swap a Lala head onto the CAM cat body for Pinkie Pie... omg the possibilities......

I'm surprised she is the first MLP to be turned into MH.

ETA: IF I can remember, I think Thatg33kgurl did like a Pinkie Pie MH Doll, but she removed Draculaura's head and put a G3.5 Pinkie pie onto the body, but I don't think that would count since it's PP's head on the body.

Finally happened upon the new CAM starter packs at my nearby Target. They only had one of each.

Mummy/Gorgon - Definitely a great looking set. I kinda wish the mummy's head matched her body a bit more, but I get what they were going for. I didn't actually buy it because the Gorgon's eyes were off just enough that she had the perpetual looking up gaze. Plus there was some marks on her hands. I'll wait for another to show up.

Ice/Blob - Woof. I had such high hopes for this set, as I loved the idea of a Blob girl, but after finally seeing it in person, I'm very disappointed. The translucent body parts show far too many joints and connectors and such. Plus, it looks like they tried to use a semi-translucent material for the heads, which caused a change in the eyes and make-up; they look far too faded and dull compared to others. Both things combined make them look far more toy-like than any of the other girls. It ruins the suspension of disbelief. They're no longer characters, they're toys. The Blob girl also had far too much glitter on her head, looks more like she should be a fairy/pixie than a gelatinous blob. There's always a chance it was just this particular one, but I doubt it.

Eagerly awaiting seeing the Harpy and Siren in store for myself, though it probably won't be at Target. Haven't seen any evidence that they've ever carried any of the individual CAM packs.

So I finished rerooting my CAM cat, well I ran out of hair kinda finished... It looks alright I guess but you can see her scalp because I didn't put the plugs too close due to a thick needle. I didn't want a huge hole where 2 plugs met. The hair got me to the top part of the cap, so I still have almost her whole head left. :( I got the hair from another member so it might not have been a full hank. Ah well, maybe I will get a idea from her baldness.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! I'm still mulling over the name but thank you for all the ideas Foxy! I've added some to my list of potential names.

@tuneful- The wig is a Liv one. It is a little big but I really like it on her. She does kind of have a tomboy vibe. I feel like she should be in a punk band or something. :lol:

Modified a barbie dress and my cat CAM decided that since she was being used to make sure the dress fit correctly that it was hers. It wasn't until I went hunting for shoes that there are not enough white shoes out there.  >_>

I'm new to CAMs, so I don't know if this has been brought up before, but has anyone tried BJD wigs on them?  I've ordered from jpopdolls before for my BJDs, and was pleased with the quality:
http://www.jpopdolls.net/store/home.php?cat=379
It seems like the 5.25" size might be about right, and there's a good variety of colors available, although they're kind of pricey. 

[EDIT] I also have a bunch of 5-6" wigs for my Lati dolls that I plan on trying on my CAM sea monster once she arrives, so I'll let everyone know how those work out, although I suspect they're probably a little big.

Please let us know how the 5.25" wigs fit...are your Lati wigs the faux fur ones?

I may have one faux fur Lati wig, but the majority of mine are from Rapunzel Rapunzel:
http://rapunzel-wigs.webs.com/
Great quality; I think Lati sources their wigs from the same wig maker. 

If you are looking for fur or mohair wigs, The Sleeping Elf makes great custom wigs as well, and she could probably make them to fit Monster High since I've ordered from her for an even smaller doll before (Realpuki):

Ok well I promised you guys some photos of my new CAM in Lati doll sized wigs (5-6").  As far as sizing, these are about the right size.  I really like aqua-colored hair on her, and her personality changes so much depending on the wig!  I'm not sure that any of these truly suit her, as I think I'd longer hair on her, but this was fun all the same :)  I think I like the last one best on her.

She's so pretty Ravie! I find that brown hair really suits the CAM witch, I have mine in a brown Liv wig and just love it.  ^.^

Post by: Melissa on January 12, 2013, 04:39:18 PM
So, I've been more than a little obsessed with my CAMs lately... I've had the Vamp/Sea Monster for a while, from when Amazon had their sale, but I don't really care for the wig.

Well, a few days ago, I found a Liv doll on clearance for $7, Making Waves Alexis, whose wig is perfect for the Vamp (currently nameless). Then, yesterday I found a Bratz doll on clearance for $12, Style Starz Cloe, who came with 2 wigs and a super cute jacket. Obviously, since I now have 4 wigs, I needed more CAMs!

Walmart had their CAMs on sale for $15 today so I got Werewolf/Dragon. Now I just have to decide who gets which wig, and if I want to try customizing them at all.

Post by: PandaBerryInSpace on January 13, 2013, 07:39:26 AM
I want a harpy... I just need to figure out what I want her to wear. I like her feathery dress, but I feel like she needs more.

I'm currently working on my CAM dragon, Dracori. I'm going to be using the same fishnets with her outfit that Picklepud used, but mine is going to have different hair, shoes, and accessories. I can't wait to finish her up!

I'm so clueless about what to do with them. I am actually fairly sure that I won't keep the Bratz wig on the Dragon (I have another custom in mind to use it for, but I don't have a doll to do it with)... but I don't know what to put on her. I love her face, but it's sure hard to find a wig that looks good on her!!

on a semi-related note:
Delilah demanded to show off what hair she has (mainly I wanted to see if the colors translate well, but alas my camera hates the color purple)
She not finished yet (hince the weird 'do) because I ran out of purple hair (the loverly Melissa is helping me out with that :heart: )
Anyhoo, she's had her skeletor nose removed and lips repainted.

Ravie-She is so rockin that dress of Operetta's!!! I love all of her outfits, but that one dress speaks for itself. She's so lovely.
Foxy-Ninja- I love how you've made your ghost CAM, I didn't really want her, but I do now. What is your secret to the wig looking perfect?

The Cat Cam wig is the easiest to make look perfect, I suspect the Mummy Cam wig will be Kanekalon like this. I just smoothed it down very carefully before pictures to make sure every hair was in place. I didn't really want her either but I decided when I saw her to get her and it was perfect. after a repaint, she looks different from the original CaM and is my Princess Isabella (Spectra)'s cousin.

I think I'm going to leave her bald for now. I think it makes sense, plus I couldn't really settle on a wig. I might actually have her wear wigs (as opposed to pretending that the wig is her actual hair) from time to time, though.

I pierced her ears and then picked out and painted some of Cleo's jewelry for her to wear.

What do you think?


Oh, and as you can see, that hat dragonlady sent me as a freebie is perfect for her!

I like the mod on her jewelry.  They are far more noticeable that way.  I feel like most of the gold jewelry fades into the characters so much since they have no depth.  ANd she is of course stunning, I like the CAM mummy far better than Cleo.

I'm still trying to decide which Cleo I like most, I do love the mummy and most likely would make her into something elegant and modern. I haven't seen the new CAMs in stores to decide if I want the other ones. You did a really lovely job on the CAM. I love the hat on her too.

I should take pics of mine soon but she really doesn't have anything to wear. Her stock dress is more like kitchy night gown than an actual dress imo. It'll probably be awhile before I rehair her too (which I'm planning on having be a reverse cleo, with mostly gold and streaks of black and brown)

ya'll's look so pretty :heart:

Yes! Well, I quite like my Cleo (I've got the School's Out one), but I do wish she looked a little more mummy-ish. But I guess maybe the mummy from The Mummy looks alive when he's reconstituted, so maybe that's the look they were going for with them. I've decided it's because the de Niles are royals and have access to special magic that makes them look alive.

Oh I love that green sparkly dress on her! And yes, the purple and black wig is a great wig, but it doesn't look good on her. I think it's partly the fringe. I tried all my other wigs, and some were OK, but in the end, I think she just looks awesome bald. And why not? She is a mummy after all.

Does anyone know a good match for the upper arms and thighs for the Unicorn pink/purple-ish parts? If I can't find a good match, I was thinking about trying white CAM parts instead.  >_< Though, I don't know if I can find the parts I need in white?
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: Psivampyr on February 01, 2013, 10:57:56 AM
Have you tried the vampire CAM? She's a pinky shade, so if it looks right maybe her inner pink fades to lavender as it reaches her fingers?
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: Like A Tea Spoon on February 01, 2013, 12:10:52 PM
Vampire CAM is a bit too dark, at least in comparison to the Unicorn/Mystical pinky/purple shade. Can we sun fade CAM parts?

I'm with you hear- I just got the unicorn and I love her but I really want some parts to finish her! I wounder which of the pinkish parts are the closest match... and if any one has and pink upper arms,  thighs, or a spare warecat tail (any color) drop me a message XD

she isn't much yet but hear is my girl so far- I didn't like how flat her face was so I sculpted some lips and eyes for her and I'm working on crating a white gradient with pearly paint to do her makeup on top of. I also started in on making her some hoof boots and a shirt- next step is to add fluffy fur to the boots to make them look like heavily feathered Clydesdale feet. Then I have to start giving her hair~ this could take a while XD

Did you keep all the face decals? I really like a few of them but I'd rather have a painted face than decals... I've never had any good experiences with them.  >_<

I don't like mismatching ( earlier CAMs ) so I always passed them up. When I saw thew unicorn head dress I had to have it. I love the idea of using the cat tail as a unicorn tail <3 If I find a good match for the torso and lower limbs, I'll let you know.

Ravie Ooh, now I need to get the Sea Monster CAM again! Your crew is impressive!

I stumbled upon the Gorgon/Mummy pack when I was rushing past the toy store close to my university on Thursday. And even tho I have a set in the mail I could not pass them up- UGH.. XD (I wanted a second Gorgon to give her a new custom face-up, tho.. and I can always sell the Mummy I guess)

Anyways, here she's hanging out with Ghost Girl, who's still waiting for her wig to arrive. :P

WIP shots of my new CAM girls, wasn't feeling the green lippy on the witch and she needed some shoes as the Cat got the packaged ones. :) You can't really tell, but both lips and shoes have traces of metallic purple.

I am determined to like this kitty! The whiskers were my real peeve >.< I gothed her up a little and tied her tail and ears into her markings a bit, next attatching those big old honking ears.

Hope to get them some new outfits done soon too. :D

I still don't get why these new add-ons don't come with a torso right away. The new starter-packs do and I thought by releasing the first torso-pack they had aknowledged that there is a high demand for complete and MATCHING dolls.. but noooope, still incomplete. :|

And then even sold the clothes of one to skyrocketneko for one of her dolls (a pullip maybe?) and then two of the dolls to another friend so she could experiment with replacing BBE eyes (they actually look really good).

Poor Liv dolls.

...The animal pelt booties idea is awesome.  I may give that a try tomorrow.  If I just left her barefoot I'd be afraid she'd feel unloved because she'd be my only ghoul without shoes. :P

Princess Squishy, here is my Goblin girl Smet. I love Trolls, Goblins and Orcs so the Witch CaM is perfect for those! Nice job with Ghat, keep her barefoot for now until you can figure out shoes for her.

Rotooze is the name of a Warlock from WoW. :D The Witch CaM is perfect for many of those kinds of female characters. We now have a Goblin and an Orc, we need a Troll and other kinds of characters from that category. Princess_Squishy's orcess is perfect.

Thanks!  She definitely has the right face for them. Though personally, I'd want to use a ghoul with blue or grey skin as a base for a troll custom.

For those with fur wigs, what do you use to style them? a fine tooth comb? a bristled hairbrush? eyebrow comb? I found that an old dollar store tooth brush works amazingly

 :heart: FIERCE! :heart: I'm so in love with that wig on her, Tuney!!

I've been toying with the idea of possibly making mine a fur-like wig, but somehow making it so that its actually snakes, but that are poseable. Kind of like the Mike's girl friend from Monsters Inc. --> https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTfb4NuXcAnD3Of-CL8nd-5GpIiY-Nc4ogS67BCLfeO9F39hgpn

Today I took a exacto drill and hand drilled out all her holes and then my wonderful husband made me a reroot tool with some needles I bought and I put the mohair in. It needs washing, taming and some styling, but so far I really am liking what it looks like. I have to wait for the glue to dry and then figure out how to wash it without it falling out. **any ideas or help is greatly appreciated** It's black and plum colored mohair with some white tossed it at the temples.
What do you guys think?

I've been busy with some very simple touch-ups to wiping the entire face & starting with a blank state, or in the case of my dragons - repainting the fins on the arms & legs as well as the wings. Frost is the only Dragon that is 100% done - I still have 4 others to complete.

Dragon girl is now missing her fins. I put some acetone-free nail polish remover on them and then walked off to do some cleaning, by the time I got back to her they were all gloppy and horrible. I carved them off with an xacto knife and I think she looks alright now. I was super upset when I did it too, I was sure my husband would never let me get another doll again when he found out. He thinks she looks nice even without them though, so that's good.

I did nearly the same thing to my dragon, but on purpose cleaned and shaved the area then using a brand-spankin' new x-acto blade carved her body pattern back inot her poor legs.

Hey everyone. So I've loved MH for a while, but found it hard to justify buying any dolls since I'm a low income student and the mark ups here seem a but outrageous to me. How ever when i saw the Blob and Ice girl CAM pack, it took every ounce of self restraint I possessed not to just grab it so I could mull it over the weekend and decide if I really wanted to pay $40. I decided I most certainly did!

Introducing Britta Frost and Sigrid Slime

Sigrid, or Siggy as she prefers to be called, is a street art loving blob monster. With fashion inspired by Japans fearless street style and talented with spray paint, Siggy knows how to leave an impression on those she meets.

Britta is a smooth talker, with politics and diplomacy running through her icy veins. She prefers a buttoned down approach to fashion, adorning herself in luxury fabrics and dark colours. Perhaps a little bit too serious for her own good, it's hard to get her to warm up

I have big plans for these two girls. My friend and I had a huge fabric haul at spotlight today. Though we ran out of time to get any sewing done for our girls we've already got the first few projects planned out. I'm going to pick up some new brushes and give them both total repaints after I practice on my Abbey first, and Britta may even get a nice midnight blue wig. Buying these two has gotten me so excited, I can't wait until i can get some more ( I'm looking at you Witch, Seamonster and 3-eyed ghoul).

Here's my baby! I love her. She came with bigger eyes than normal and a pearly paint on her lips. I love the lips; just wish Mattel painted the center part where the upper and lower lips meet a bit better...you can see a tad of blue coming through. I've noticed that it's like that on most of the Ice girls out there. Oh, and while I love her translucent body I'm not crazy about the calf part of her legs being a different type of translucent look...I wish it was the same as her torso and upper legs.

I may have totally caved and ordered the seamonster and vampire set yesterday- with no help from my boyfriend. By no help I mean he said it was good value and i should splurge :P

I already have some ideas for the seamonster, though she was the main reason I bought the set. Not sure what to do with the Vampire. I might use her as repaint and reroot practice then when I'm confidant enough in my skills and she doesn't look like rubbish, I'll see if my friend would like her. She only has a Skull Shores Ghoulia right now.

As some have said I don't like the calf part of the legs being different.  And I've already switched the dresses that came with them.   :lol:  I love the darker dress on the Blob girl and the blue/pink dress on the Ice girl.   
Has anyone tried painting the blog girl's hair a bit? .....adding some depth and shadow???  I'm curious what that would look like.

I wish they could have done her a bit differently, kind of like the ice/blob girls with the translucent limbs. Any tips for taking the white paint off her arms and legs? Her face-up also kinda freaks me out..I currently have her in the Werewolf wig and I think it's the best fit so far...

I really like your name for her, Holly Harpie! Is that a Liv wig y'all used for her? or is that the one she comes with?

Yep Liv wig! It's a little bit big but I really like the colors on her.

Totally! I have almost all of them now. Just ordered the dragon and cat tonight because I can no longer resist. I'm still missing the siren, ghost, mummy, and blob. They just haven't won me over yet.

I bought the Ice/blob set yesterday (my first CAM purchase LOL) and while I like the Ice girl I'm not quite sold on the Blob girl.  The hair throws me I think.

ROFL  I was already thinking that.  Right after I typed that I remembered I had bought some CAM clothes off ebay and got a wig too.  It's the long black and purple one.....goes with the vampire/seamonster.  It's not bad but I'm not sold on it either.  I think I may need to wet it down.  It looks like a hair cap sitting on top of her head.  lol

This is what I've done but this wig is in better shape than mine.   I switched dresses though....have the darker dress on blog girl with this wig.

definitely not sold on the blob/ice girl... Something about the sparkles doesnt do it for me... Might change my mind if I see in person... But I doubt it... I do however want to get a couple of the wolf/dragon/cat sets... (I know they dont all come together, but it would be cool if they did  :biggrin: ) Not quite sold on the siren or the mummy/gorgon set... Who knows... I really just want them for customization... As far as re-hairing/re-roots (whatever they are called) I have the pink cat with a soft cap... How hard it is to do the re-roots... I am also thinking about going and picking up the remaining Catrines if they are there and I have the money... Stupid tax return get here already!! :shakefist: :argh: :rant:

Great minds think alike, though I'm still going to swap that dress out. :)  I need to get around to making some actual outfits - I have tons of fabric but I'm still working on the pattern drafting part. Silly Mattel and not being able to step away from pink.

They're a little big, but the Bratz Style Starz wigs could work in a pinch. This one is Yasmin's I believe.

Ohhhhh thank you!  I definitely will.

Stormy - yes I've already swapped dresses from that same pack - put the darker dress on the blob girl and the blob dress on the Ice girl.  But it's still not perfect.  I think I may have to get my sewing machine out and make her something.  I've been itching to try my hand at doll clothes already.  And this is a great project to experiment with.   ;)

I was just about to suggest this too.  The Style Starz Bratz are marked down here.  Was $24.99.  Now $9.98.  (at TRU.  Everyone else cleared them out after the last resets were done)

Understand not liking loose wigs, though!  That's a pet peeve of mine as well >_<

I bought my very first CaM starter pack today!  I started falling for Ice/Blob girl and found this thread and started liking them even more.  Well, I wasn't able to find that set but I have been wanting a witch for a long time and my Walmart had one of those packs left so I grabbed it.  I just put the witch together and have a few questions.

#1 HOW the HECK do you put on the witch hat?  The elastic is way to small to get it over her head!  That is one of the main reasons I wanted this set (and the awesome cat shoes).

#2 How do you make the wig look decent.  It looks well, like a wig lol.  Just kind of messy and weird. 

#3 What should I call her?  I am a going between Tabitha St. Germain or Morgana St. Germain.

Either one would work. for my CaM vamp turned into a witch, I called her Morgance.

Ironically, I didnt mean to purchase it... I saw it sitting in the clearance aisle and thought, "hmmm, someone must have misplaced it"... I walked around a bit and then went to the checkout counter... I asked for a price check, and it was $15.00, so I couldnt say no... it was meant to be... My mom started it by asking if I wanted her left over CAMs... Lol.. I have the skeleton, bee, witch and cat now... Lol... I am nervous to do it... I kinda want a purple-ish for the skeleton, I want either green or black (or both!  :lol: ) for my witch, I am not quite sure what color would work for the kitty, and I havent decided if I am selling the bee or keeping her...

I saw a reroot tutorial apparantly by someone 'knowledgeable' and 'experienced' that made me go 'wtf o.O' all she did was talk and drop the head like a thousand times wihout really doing anything to it >.<. I would make one but seriously, I cannot explain things worth fuzz and though I have my own developed techniques, I never seem to go about a reroot the same way twice x_x and I'll try this or that. plus not many people wanna put in the time for the knot method ^^;

main pointers I guess for hardcap CaMs:
Pull out the hard cap by whatever means at your disposal.
dehair a wig and cut it half horizontally
Use half of it to cut a peice of plastic to fit in the hole (leave the lip, it acts as an anchor)
Use uncut peices of hair to sew it in (er, the longer the better in other words).
secure the ends by back stitching a few spaces and cut off any excess as far in as your snips reach.
Do this until you've sewed the entire perimeter of the scalp in place.

that's the basics. Once the scalp is in, you can root.

if you're going to paint the scalp, paint the transplant scalp separately and sew in once sealed and dried.

My method is based on this. http://www.wideeyedgirls.com/rerootinstruction.html
Overtime, it's nearly completely different, but this is a good starting point.

Also, I draw harlines in pencil and get your hairline plugs as close together as possible without splitting the plastic.

And for pete's sake, don't assume just because they have large heads, you need huge plugs. You don't. Lots of plugs about the thickness of your needle is much better than super thick plugs. Tuney attest to the fact that thicker isn't better XD

Of course, you can always just hire me and pay me in dolls XD

I don't have an answer for the first question. Maybe tie the elastic in her hair? I don't have the witch CAM.

As for the wig, CAM wigs are tricky for sure. I've tried several ways to make them fit, including: trimming the plastic edging, removing the hard cap part of the scalp, jamming the heck out of the wig until the face is practically flattened. I prefer Liv wigs because they're bigger. They verge on too big, but are easy enough to alter to fit. Lots easier to make them smaller than larger.

I prefer the name Morgana to Tabitha.

Zsazsa tried on Operetta's fashions. The dress is cute but the style is much too retro for Zsazsa. However, the seconf outfit is very cute on her.

Well I fixed my problem with the witches hat :accomplished:.  I had to untie the elastic and retie it to the holes.  Still was a stretch  :lol: (no pun intended) to get it on.  I now have Morgana Mayfair and a sea monster girl whom needs a name. 

I am so irritated >_<!  I bought the vampire/sea monster girl pack yesterday along with the 3-eyed ghoul (sadly just for the wig and clothes).  Well there were a ton of the starter pack at Shopko yesterday but I didn't think to check if they were the new release or the old with only one torso :argh:.  Well, after I had gotten most of the packaging ripped apart I noticed it didn't have the 2nd torso for the sea monster.  Since I bought the pack mainly for the Sea monster, I was not happy at all with myself for not thinking to check.  So, now I am on the search for just that torso.  Probably will have to resort to evilbay.

OK I got my Liv wigs in the mail today.  Now I have a question for you that use them.  Do you widen the hole in the CAM head so the "post" will fit or do you cut off the post on the wig?  Because it's not fitting down in the head like it should right now.
I love the look of them though.  Arrrrgh!  I think I'm getting hooked on the CAMs now!  As if the regular monster high dolls weren't enough of a hit on my wallet!   :tumble:

Liv wigs are able to be bent inside out so the peg comes out to be stuck into the head. Just push the top of the head where the peg would be and push it out while holding onto the sides and it'll easily bend.

faunabay she is super cute. I use my exacto knife to cut out the peg.

Has anyone thought about using hot glue on the wig around the inside?
But don't glue it to the scalp that way it will be tighter.

Ok I thought that might be it but didn't want to ruin it if it didn't want to do that.  LOL
faunabay she is super cute. I use my exacto knife to cut out the peg.

Has anyone thought about using hot glue on the wig around the inside?
But don't glue it to the scalp that way it will be tighter.
Thank you Angel!  The hot glue may work.  That's an interesting idea.  And I do have a hot glue gun......actually a couple of them.   :P

If I still had the instructions for Liv dolls, I would've scanned/taken a picture and posted it. They're meant to be flipped inside out so people who have trouble getting the peg in gets them in without trying to eye it. :P

If it works let me know. I have some wigs but to lazy to try this. :)

I got it cut off!!  It does fit down on the head better now but like everyone has said is a bit too big.  I still love it though!!

I also had a thought about the hot glue too......it might be a tiny bit sticky so might not slide around a bunch.  hmmmm.........

Yeah, I cut the plug out of my Liv wigs, and they are loose! I'm thinking I'll try some tacky putty, like they use for putting up posters? Just to keep the wig in place so it doesn't roll around.

Gotta say, I spent about half an hour last night playing around with Liv wigs - and I LOVE them! Is it just me, or is the quality higher than Monster High wigs? The wig-cap is less noticeable, and they cover more of the head, and aw man I just really like them! XD

Ohhhhh tacky putty!  That sounds like it would be a great idea!! 
I love the Liv wigs too!  This was my first experience with the Liv wigs AND Cams.  I played around with the blonde with pink tips wig for my blob girl but I felt like I was looking at the wig and not her face with that one.  The pink/purple one seemed to just fit her....I saw HER and not the wig!

And Tuney.....I didn't like the Blob girl until getting the wig and outfit right.  I was ready to trade her away until just today!!!  Now I have fallen in love!!  Am going to have to come up with a name for her now!   
I love the Clawdeen dress on your dragon girl too.  It looks great!!!

On the Liv wigs I take a pair of pliers and flatten the peg and it pops right into the hole on the CAM heads.

I've been eyeing the Liv wigs too. I have this really neat yarn that I thought would look cool as hair so I tried my hand at making a wig. Went a little overboard on the bottom layers so it's pretty thick. I need to find a way to keep it on her head without sliding off so I can style it. Definitely gonna try the tacky putty.
Here is my creation!

Thanks! Neat idea but I can't imagine taking the time to insert wire in all those strands  >_< Maybe if I braided the strands..

I really dig the colors and texture on her. My gorgan has been the perfect model for all the clothing I've been making. She has ended up becoming my favorite CAM.

I have the pink/purple wig on mine but have thought she could look good with straight black hair (or maybe black with blue highlights)  Might tone down all that pink!

I must say I am not 100% impressed at the moment because I just cant seem to attach myself to... I am semi fond of the Gorgon and possibly the Mummy, but I am not attaching to the blob or ice girls... I thought I would like them better in person... So they may be going up for sale... Although my Skelly is absolutely loving the mummy/gorgon purple wig... and truth be told, So am I :)

mejohnson I loved my Ice girl from the start but really had to play with and tweak my blob girl.  I was absolutely thinking of trading her away until I began changing her clothes and put a different wig on her.  Now I love her!  So don't give up because they don't appeal to you right away.  Play with them for a bit, trying different things, then if you still don't gel trade them.  But from the experience I had with my ONE doll  :lol:  I think you ought to take a little before trading them.
I love what I can see of the dress you have on your gorgon girl though!!   ;)

Mejohnson you made the blob girl absolutely adorable congrats! I've had no experience with any of the other CAM wigs but I absolutely love the mummy's wig too! It's so soft and a pretty purple. When I sold my mummy i kept the wig for the gorgan.

My sea monster is the daughter of the taniwha, a mythical Maori water monster. Her name is Kahurangi-o-te-Moana, which translates as "jewel of the sea". It's the only non-jokey name amongst my CAMs. The others are Flint MacQuarrie (gargoyle), Hiera Glyph (mummy), Deirdre Nightshade (witch), and Georgina Dragonova (dragon).

Pandaberry your CAMs look awesome!

Mejohnson I'm still looking for the ice/blob set. I was in walmart on Valentine's and stupidly went to the toy section only to find one set on the shelf. Was only the second time to see it at a store and I couldn't buy it.  >_<
I have decided to wait until my birthday before I do any "frivolous" purchasing. It irritates my family when I ruin gifts by buying them first. Don't think anyone is buying me dolls but I'm holding off all the same. Just a week to go...

Thanks. It was originally quite wild. But then I smoothed it down and I was like, "Whoa, that looks way better!" I've got an elastic headband on that's holding everything in place (and keeping the wig close to her scalp so you can't see that it's a little loose).

Oooo love that bright red hair!
It's fantastic!

I've been eyeing up the ice/blob girls. I didn't like them at first, but they've really grown on me, especially after seeing the blob girl in a blue wig with Lagoona's DDG dress on. She looked hawt! Anyway, I was thinking I'd just wait till they show up here (apparently we're finally getting the CAMs here in NZ this year) but I could be persuaded to import them.

I wanted to turn it around for that reason, but since the bodysuit is all one piece, I couldn't find a way to do it without putting it backwards. (And I wanted it on forwards so I could open it up in the back for her wings.) I can't take credit for the idea, though; I just copied Picklepud.

I also like the sunglasses your Vamp is wearing.  Where did those come from?  (Sorry I'm nosey :lol:)  The sunglasses make him look less.......whatever it is that makes everyone dislike him :lookround:  He is sort of evil at my place.  He's always holding out that hand, like it's missing someones heart or something :lol:

My Seamonster and Vampire pack arrived yesterday! I was a bit disappointed with the vamp, she looked like she had discoloration when she was in box but everything looked amazing when out.

Too bad their wig is the cheapest nastiest thing that ever existed. I'm lucky I bought some LIV wigs around the same time that should be here next week. One of them was meant for the Ice girl, but I might just get her rerooted instead.

I'll post pictures of Marina and miss nameless vampire when their hair arrived :D I am so in love with the CAM sets.

Her outfit was made by JonnaJonzon on Etsy. :) And all of the vampire's accessories come from the Bratz Boyz Accessoreez pack. I definitely prefer the sunglasses on him to cover up those gigantic, evil eyebrows. XD

I didn't want her to get tooooo purple so kept the gold shoes and added Lagoona's wave 2 necklace.  I thought she turned out so purty!   :biggrin:

Thanks, T-Gal.

Puk: Yes, I suppose the dragon (yet to be named) does have some similarities to Kaylee! The harpy (along with my gorgon) has become my new muse. She has the most spectacular face and feet, and she photographs wonderfully with her Kate Moss eyes spread so far apart! I've put her back into her 'signature' outfit since this photo, but she seems to look good in practically everything! Hopefully Mattel will eventually release an add on pack for her torso and limbs.

So, I got the blob today. She's interesting, to say the least. I just need to figure out what I want her to wear, as I hate her stock. I'm probably going to repaint her eyes and lips, too, since I don't like the colors that Mattel picked out. :P

Cool. I'm not a fan of the wings myself, probably because they're so plasticky looking, but I do like her face-up.

The harpy's wing do leave much to be desired. I would love to have custom forearms made for her using CAM arms and fake ostrich feathers.

You could do Claire de Lycan
Not bad. That's actually given me some inspiration, so I think I've got one now:

Luna Lycan-Thorpe, daughter of the Werewolves of London.

Here she is:

Only wish I could find a good name like that for my CAM seamonster.  So far I have Morgana Mayfair (witch), Crystalanne Frost (Ice Girl) and Lucy Glu (Blob Girl).  The best I have come up with is Coral Conch or CC for short lol.
My sea monster is the daughter of the taniwha, a mythical Maori water monster. Her name is Kahurangi-o-te-Moana, which translates as "jewel of the sea". It's the only non-jokey name amongst my CAMs. The others are Flint MacQuarrie (gargoyle), Hiera Glyph (mummy), Deirdre Nightshade (witch), and Georgina Dragonova (dragon).
I think I'm in *love*!  Hot damn Puku!  How in the world did you get her ears like that?!  That wig...those leg warmers...that outfit...PERFECTION!!!!

Panda- your Ghost CAM is so striking!  Those eyes....just wow.

Dg- your Cheshire Cat girl is scary awesome.  I'm both terrified and fascinated by her:)

Kala- I would give my left foot for that Amy Winehouse style wig.

Tuney- what can I say that I haven't already said about your ghouls.  So much love for your styling skills!!

Awesome! Thank you Michelle.

Ears: I cut off the clip bits so there were just the round pegs. Then I marked two spots on her head with a pen, lining them up with each other and with the outside edges of her eyes, before making some holes with a nail. After that, I worked the pegs through the mesh on the bottom of the wig before pushing them into the holes in her head. I've got a headband on her hair that helps keep it all together.

Outfit: The leg warmers and skirt were a freebie an ebay seller from whom I purchased a whole bunch of stockings for my dolls. This is the first time I've used them.

I am loving everyone's pics, but what's especially inspiring to me is everyone's creative names for their CAMs... Only one of mine has a name, I named my CAM Vampire Drusilla "Drusi" Dresden, after Drusilla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Harry Dresden from The Dresden Files (even though he is a wizard, I liked the alliteration).

I'd say yes-ish about the Gorgon/Witch being the same color. Mine look to me about the same hue, though the Gorgon body seems a tinge bit lighter, but I can't tell if its because of the type of plastic, or if its because of the texture. If they're not a match, they're so close that you'd reaaaaally have to look hard to notice it. (at least that is the case with mine...)

Yes to the hands! They're an exact match. My witch has the CAM lab hands. Though, you'll have to switch both hands, and not just the one, the cam lab's hands have long nails, and the witch doesn't.

Nice idea! Guess that would make her more of a nixie than a siren.
Fun Fact I just learned: Sirens traditionally in mythology had bird features ('cause birdies sing pretty) and were not mermaids, who knew..

Thanks Ghoulfriends! I thought it only made sense not to waste those seamonster cam legs...

NinaMarie: I thought it was weird they called her a Siren anyway...she's more of a mermaid...BUT technically her new abillity to transform her looks, makes her more siren -like since now she can be a temptress to guys who prefer legs ;)

I'm currently modding a bait Opie into the Harpy (for I LOVE her) and some bait Clawd parts (don't judge, he's plentiful in germany + I got the parts via ebay.. someone else de-assembled him. LOL.) into Puma-Boy.
AND WOW.. it is just so much NOT-fun, that I decided to hold out on the Siren until we get a 2nd torso pack. I hope that happens and I hope that when it happens they include legs like that. Ha! :'D,

(its a bit big so I have done some altering... found it at TRU for 5.99!!) And the wig is a LIV wig I got in a lot on eBay... I didnt like the blob girl at first... but now shes one of my favorite CAMs... no offense to my all time favies (werewolf, dragon, and cat...  :biggrin: ) OOOOOh! speaking of...

AWWW.. such modest little ladies! ;>
I love that bikini-top, tho! I'm currently trying to hunt it down for my seamonster-CAM. But I have to say it looks great on the siren as well.

AH! Wolfbody! I'd have never guessed that! :O
I've never seen the Siren in person yet, so I would not thought her body to be grayish enough to match it. It's great, tho - That way you won't have to mod the torso to match! (I just went through that with a bait clawd/Puma boy Opie/Harpy and NO WAI I'LL DO THAT AGAIN.. I'll sit back. Patiently. And will wait for a Torso Pack 2.0 now. xD)

2.  Should I get the Siren?  She is the only one I don't have yet and I kinda like her but I'm not completely sold on her.  I kinda want to nab her just because, but I need some convincing.  I think.

@TG

1. Ravie does have some amazing rehaired ghouls, I say if you have the money, go for it! But how do you plan to touch up her paint???

2. I wasn't (and still kinda am, a weee tiny bit) sold on the Siren and Harpy, but I grabbed them anyway just because, and ever since that day I grabbed them, never seen them again, and now I appreciate them more. :P

My 2 cents.

Post by: Cate_Dartfinger on March 17, 2013, 12:29:09 PM
So..I need someone to convince me of some things. 

1. Should I go ahead and get my cat rehaired by Ravie and try to touch up her paint later to see if I like her better?

2.  Should I get the Siren?  She is the only one I don't have yet and I kinda like her but I'm not completely sold on her.  I kinda want to nab her just because, but I need some convincing.  I think.

1. Which cat? Actually, it doesn't matter, since all of Ravie's rehairs are amazing! I'd say go for it! If all else fails, and you don't like her still after shes re rooted, you could always pop her up for sale here, I'm sure someone would snap her up!

2. Siren....  :wonder: If you want, I'll send you mine! Just pay shipping and shes yours! I did paint one of the belts, (i can send you a pic of it if you want) but other than that, I've got all the parts. Shes hasn't grown on me the way that I had hoped, so if you want her, shes yours!  ^.^

Ice has the I <3 fashion abbey dress on (minus the black sheer whatever that goes over it and the blob is wearing the DDG abbey outfit

I just figured it out...

Dang, those outfits are so dang perfect, but I don't wanna get those sets just for the outfits. :cry:

If I can find ice patterned fabric, I might attempt to make it in the future. :P

YES. Ravie's reroots are stone-cold gorgeous!!

As for the Siren... I would love her with a matching torso. As is, I can't fall for her. I wish they could have at least made her the same color as the 3-eyed girl or Lagoona or something!

My babies have finally arrived!
Lady Liberty has nothing on my Ice Girl *g*

Is that abbeys belt as a headband? Omg so cute... And where did you get her dress?? Its amazing :)
I adore your Ice Girl outfit!  What shoes does the she have on?  When I first got this set I liked her ALOT better than the Blob Girl.  Now though I've done a few custom things with Blobbie which I love and she's left Icy in the dust.  Need to pull her out and play with her like you've done here!   :iconclap:

MeJ is right about the dresses and the "headband" :)
Ice's shoes are DDG Abbey's, but with the sculpted fur trimming cut off.

Please bear with me as I try to figure out how to post my pics:) 

I don't ever take pictures, but I've been playing around over here, and am pretty proud of myself, so I decided to brag:)

I've been dying for a green MH wig seen CAMs first started hitting stores.  I always felt my Dragon needed green hair (but apparently not a name :P)  I put the Werecat wig on her and fell in love!  Would have been perfect if the blue streaks were green, sooo.......

It was my first "re-root."  I took out the blue, and popped in the green I stole from a Mystixx Vampires wig.  Certainly not a huge big deal, but I'm proud :biggrin:  Slowly working my way up to Ravie status (totally kidding!  I'm not seriously comparing myself to Ravie!)

Also, the Puma's wig used to be a Skeleton one.  I gave it a haircut:)  Another proud moment of mine.  Who knew I had all this "talent?"  And the photography ain't half bad either ;)  Sorry to be so braggy, but really, I haven't been this happy with myself in a long time!

Special thanks to Kamakazee for helping me get my hands on Puma's shirt.  A LONG overdue thanks :blush:

Blue arrow/green circle: I need to go get some velour, sew the corset, take some pieces of ribbon and sew along the sides like in the picture and then I need to sew some metal hoops on to make the corset look with the thinner ribbon

Blue arrow: I need to sew a small ruffle along the bottom of the one I have started, and then sew a piece of ribbon round that as well...

Red arrow: I need to make the arm cuffs (although I am not sure if I am going to go as poofy as these ones are)

Red arrow/orange square: I need to make an underskirt with a ruffle from the original starter fabric (stripes)

Nothing to terribly difficult, just hard because it is sooooooo small!! Probably going to be a lot of hand sewing involved... LOL... time to brush up on my sewing skills  :lol:

btw she decided to sit by herself for about 20 minutes so I was able to crack this part out... I got the stiching a bit crooked, and have DEFINITELY learned a couple of new tricks to use on my next one... but here it is... I tied some extra fabric around her waist to give an idea of what it might look like

I wanted to name her something that had a pun... like Beeyonce.... but I am having trouble with the whole name thing... the only thing I know is that I have a name for one of my Mummy CAMS... And her name is Isis... and my Cat cam is named Jezebel... soooo...  I have another Mummy to name and the Bee... and the gorgon and wolf and Ice and Blob cams...

I let it soak in pretty hot water (but not boiling) for about 15 minutes, those elastic bands in the box really do a number on it. I then popped it on a LiV wig stand to dry before popping it back on my girl. Hope it helps!

Thanks for the nice comments guys! X

Coming from someone who has a bunch of Liv dolls and wigs, putting them through a boil wash helps straighten the kinks and bends A LOT!! Not too sure about the MH CAM ones though. If LIV can do it, maybe CAMs can too!

I bought my first CAM set today.

Easter sale at Argos meant that the big set with two full dolls was only £13. Which is £5 cheaper than normal.

Introducing Eurydice 'Dice' Gorgon and Immy Tep. (Eurydice is pronounced yuri-di-chee rather than yuri-dice. She goes by Dice though, pronounced the same way as normal.)

Dice is cousin to Deuce through their mothers (in case you're not up on your Greek mythology. Medusa had two sisters, Stheno and Euryale. Eurydice is the daughter of Euryale). She's immortal, like her mother, and while she may be older than Deuce in years developmentally she's a couple of years younger than him. Her snakes and eyes are stronger in terms of turning people to stone but she's had a lot of time to learn to control them, so she doesn't need glasses like Deuce.

She's obviously less human (being green and scaly) and really quite awkward about it (she's about 14/15, which doesn't help) which leads to her being quite shy. Despite being envious of her cousin's relatively human appearance they're really quite close. Jinafire has played kind of big-sister to her (girls with scales gotta stick together).

Her best friend is Immy Tep. They've been best friends for years, since they're both really quite old in years but the same age developmentally. Immy is growing out of her shyness much quicker than Dice but they are still best friends. Immy's relationship with her father (Imho Tep) has recently soured because he wants her to be a doctor like he was (amongst other things). She wants to be a photographer. Also she dyed her hair purple without his permission.

I do need to get them some better clothes though. And Dice needs shoes. And I'd kind of like to paint her snakes so they're less generic.

I love your backstory info about your Gorgon and Mummy JustHereForPictures.   :iconclap:  It's so much fun to do this.

Dice may be a bit shy but my Gorgie girl is just the opposite.  I kept trying to put her in earthy muted colors but found out last night she'll have nothing to do with that.  She wants sparkle and bling!!   :biggrin:

Yeah Dice was like 'I want trousers now please. Or a longer skirt at least.' Immy is actually quite enjoying the short skirts and strutting her stuff. Although I really do need to get her out of the pale pink, I'm not sure it does much for her.

It's pretty awesome how we can put two dolls, who are completely the same, together and come out with two completely different characters.

I had a dig through the big old bag of doll clothes that I have and unearthed something from my childhood. It finally has a wearer that it suits (seriously none of the barbies who wore this looked anything other than horrible.

Also, I've just realised, the Gorgon CAM must be at least partially deaf. I mean, she doesn't have ears and, while she appears to be part snake and they can hear through vibrations, she's mostly shown with shoes on which (if we've learnt anything from Toph) would seriously impact her ability to hear through the ground.

Oh hey, I don't have to buy Dice shoes anymore. Hello additional characterisation.

Ahaha, oh gosh, these overalls!! I have the same pair, but in blue! Now if only we had a blue gorgon...! XD

It's funny, but since the Gorgon and Jinafire have the same body mold, I'm kind of seeing them as cousins in my head! But then, there's also the pink dragon CAM, so ... everyone has a lot of cousins?! :lmao:

I was playing around with my CAMs and I just cannot like my Blob:(  All the same color pink was really bugging me.  Everything was so lost on her.  So I've got a new blob, and this one just makes sence to me!  She is way more visually appealing, too.  I love her :heart:  She stole everything from my former blob :lol:

Hiding behind the "new" Blob:)

Anyone have any ideas what my former blob could be?  I could only come up with two ideas.  One was an Anti-Abbey.  Sort of a heat monster?  The other was really morbid.  A skin-less monster :shocked: 

Maybe a demon?

They are indeed. You can't see it, but they are really quite big on Dice (although the sleeves are just fine. I vaguely remember them being on a Barbie doll I had as a kid in the 90's. She eventually got donated or thrown out but I sort of accrued the leftover clothes.

A quick search revealed that somebody else still has a set available to possibly buy.

Silly question but........ which way is the Gorgon girl's hair "cap" supposed to go?   :blush:  Should the larger part of the hair go to the front or back?  I had it to the back first but it didn't stay on very well.  Then I saw a promo pic with it towards the front and tried it that way.  It looks good but I still can't tell which way it's made to go.   :huh:
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: justkitter on March 30, 2013, 06:48:45 PM
I'm gonna try to explain, but I'm super bad at explaining things, so here goes nothing!

The best way I can describe how to place it on the head, is to look for the "ear hole cutouts" and position them so that if the Gorgon had ears, they could peek through.

I was playing around with mine, and had no idea the ponytail turned round and round:)
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: JustHereForPictures on March 30, 2013, 07:40:35 PM
I've got Dice's on the same way as kitter said.

But yeah, it's a pain to get it to stay on.

The snakes also pop out of the ponytail and you can pop them back in easily.

So the Gorgie Girl with the overalls is how you mean.....or not?   JustHereForPictures has it the way I did at first when it kept falling off.  Now that I've switched it it's staying on better.   :|  lol

And the snakes MOVE????  I didn't realize that....very cool
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!

Yep, they move (if you look at my pictures on the other page, you can see that they change position in each photo).

Post by: faunabay on March 31, 2013, 11:15:19 AM
Holy crap they do move!!!   :blink:  That's so cool!!   :lol: 

I need to get some sticky tape or tacky putty to put on her head to keep the snakes in place.  They just slide all over.  Just moving her sometimes makes them fall off.  :huh:

I need some help and inspiration. In February, I got engaged and got a new puppy. All of my free time has been devoted to spending time with my new puppy and my 5-year-old dog... Ensuring that they get along, the puppy is housebroken, etc. All of my dolly projects have fallen by the wayside, and yesterday was the first time I've even been in my pony/doll room in like... a month? The last time I tried to have some hobby time, they dogs sat outside the door and howled so I definitely couldn't concentrate.

Yesterday I was able to at least do some organizing. I picked out some wigs that I liked for my incomplete CAMs... Except for my Dragon CAM. I'm having SO MUCH trouble with her. I cannot seem to find clothing or hair that I love on her. I like her default outfit, except for the asymmetry of it... mine really rides up on the lime green side. I've tried so many wigs on her: The default wig, the Vamp/Sea Monster wig, Liv wigs of many colors (platinum blond, sandy blond, browns, pink, red...). Nothing works. I want something unique and stylish.

I've always wanted a green wig for my Dragon CAM, but it seems as though Mattel hates me or something and refuses to make one :P  I've found I like the lavender colored wigs on her.  The Lab wig, or the Mummy wig, but my favorite was the Werecat wig!  I even pulled out the blue streaks and added my own green ones:)

You could also try a yarn wig. Using a funky chunky yarn gives a sort of dread effect.

Kalavista, that wig does look great! I was planning on a slightly girlier vibe, but I will keep that in mind.

Yup, this! My dragon wears the werecat/witch wig and I love it too. I like the blue streaks in it, but swapping them out for green is a great idea! :) I have her wearing the vampire outfit (without the bat on the shirt) and think it works great all together, very cute and punky, but still girly too.

The only major skill it required was crocheting the wig cap but I know there are other tutorials without a crocheted wig cap. The hairing process is actually pretty simple just tedious.

I don't own any CAMs, but darn you people tempt me badly  :lol:.  Are you comfortable doing face-ups?  I think she would look awsome if her eye and lip color were changed to something that would contrast with that Fuccia color she is.  As far as a specific character I don't know.  I could see her as a nice couterpart to Venus too (maybe a cousin), her bright color is that of some flowers and she would look awsome with some vines on her limbs.  I am sure there has to be some toxic flower in that fuccia color LOL.  Come to think of it, if I ever get into CAMS and this set specifically I will have to do that to the blob girl LOL.

Faunabay I look forward to seeing your Sea Monster!

Someone once commented that the Dragon should have short hair because it would get in the way when she flew around (in theory, of course :P) and that always stuck with me for some strange reason.  So, of the three wigs mentioned, the Werecat one was my only option.  I was surprised at how much I liked it on her!  I never really liked the wig because it was rooted so thinly.  When I added the green, I added a bunch, so I could bulk up the wig.  It was win win win!

I've got my Dragon in the Gorgon dress because I liked that it had the purple and green in it which is the color scheme of my Dragon:)  It is short enough that it shows off the painted scales on her thigh, too.  I hate covering up all the details Mattel puts into their dolls.  That's why I gave the Gorgon dress to my Dragon.  I wanted my Gorgon in something VERY revealing, to show off that detailed and unique body ;)

Well that's only fair because everyone else made me want one.  :lol:

The wig is a cotton candy LIV wig.  And now you all are making me look twice at this wig.  I did like it but LOVED the yarn wig ivybunny made for her sea monster.  She's thinking about whether she'd like to make me one too.   

Can you wash the LIV wigs like the monster high ones?  I do like this one on her but don't like how poofy it is.   If it was straighter I'd like it more.  So can I wash it with hot water to straighten it?
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: Melissa on April 05, 2013, 07:48:34 AM
I've washed Liv wigs, didn't have a problem. I've never tried to straighten one though, I wash with lukewarm water. If you wash with hot, it should help straighten/curl/however you want to style.

Her name is Whimzee Spawn, and she's the daughter of the Snake Doctor (wikipedia: The Southern United States term "snake doctor" refers to a folk belief that dragonflies follow snakes around and stitch them back together if they are injured.)

Still need to finish one of the Sea Monster gal's eyes, but other than that, and hair, they are done!  =D  Still working on getting more rerooted, but that will be another couple of weeks.  Now I just need to finish up that garboyle and turn him into a goblin for Gabby!

She REALLY does!  I have my Ghost set up perfectly (for me) and I had second thoughts when I saw this picture of her.  Almost makes me want another -_-  Gotta stop buying doubles for no reason!

Thank you!  Werewolf is rerooted in several shades of white and silver, actually, but in that light it looked like a lovely blonde!  Now I might have to reroot one in those shades! 

I love my ghost..Ravie did an AMAZING job on her and my bee girl.  I love the purple on miss Bee as well.  I almost wanted to go with more muted colors for the Ghost, but those just worked out perfectly! 

Bad part is, now I want a skelly with red hair like yours, Tuney!

Would someone who has both the ghost CAM's short pink wig as well as the sea monster mind taking a photo of the sea monster wearing the pink wig? If so, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Sorry for the bad pic but I just snapped it quickly for you.

Thanks so much, fauna! I really appreciate it. I've tried about a dozen wigs on my sea monster and I can't seem to find one I'm totally happy with. I think she'd look perfect in a medium length hot pink wig with bangs, but I have yet to find one exactly like that.

I bought the sea monster/vampire CAM set just for the sea monster thinking I'd trade the Vampiress away.  But.......I'm lovin' her!  I've got a great dress that fits her personality perfectly!  I'll try and get pics when I get some time and better light.  I've got her right here next to me by the computer.  LOL

I have to ask.

How on earth do you get the werewolf ears on? Because I cannot figure it out. I thought she'd have holes in her head but apparently not.
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: mejohnson85 on April 08, 2013, 11:40:13 PM
Some people clip them on with the clips they come with... Some people cut the clips off and leave the pegs and make holes to put the pegs through.. Others clip both off and either glue as crew or nail to it and then stick it through the wig/head... Mine I just used the pegs put through the wig... But if I get them rooted.. I may use the screw/mail method...

I might be being rather slow but I don't quite get how I clip them on or how I could put the pegs through the wig. Using the MH wig that came with her, there aren't any gaps to force the peg and clip through.
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: mejohnson85 on April 09, 2013, 12:02:00 AM
I used a pair of scissors to make a small hole in the wig where I wanted the ears... I can take pics on Wednesday evening to show you... Unless someone else posts pics first... If you google monster high create a monster ears... You can see what the clips look like...
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: faunabay on April 09, 2013, 07:54:47 AM
You mean Mattel makes you cut the wig to get the ears on?  What about kids?  How do they get this done then?  That's not very smart of them.
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: Melissa on April 09, 2013, 08:20:32 AM
I did cut my wig with an exacto knife (in between the rows of hair) to get the ears in. However the clippy things don't work that well. I used a ton of fabritac glue, and even still, I don't think I'll do much with her hair because the ears are on quite precariously.

Kenzi Dyson that's cute! But she's keeping just the one wig right?  :lol:

Yes, just the one wig (because of her dang ears). My Kenzi won't be called upon to go undercover.
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: mejohnson85 on April 09, 2013, 08:23:58 AM
No they have clips for the kids to use but they just look stupid when they are clipped on (IMO)... They just kind of "hang" out... I used a small pair of scissors to make a small hole in the wig... It makes it easier if you are using more than one wig... And most of the wigs I have are thick enough to cover the holes if I want someone else to wear the wig :)

This is exactly the same thing i did with mine, although I used an exacto knife to make the hole

I started a thread for this but it seems fitting here too. My local Canadian Superstore has all CaM sets for half price! Not sure if it applies to all stores.
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: NinaMarie on April 09, 2013, 06:17:02 PM
Finally got myself the Ice/Blob set! I'm finding I really love the blob's body but I'm not a fan of her face. I do not like the orange eyes and makeup. Her face mold, my thoughts go from "what a cute round nose" to "she has a constipated scrunched up face." I like her but I dunno. And OMG that wig is HEAVY. This may be one doll I consider repainting and hairing.
Ice girl's eyes and makeup are fine with me but the lips stand out a bit too much. And I first wanted her badly because she was see-through but now I find myself wishing the rest of her body was more like her lower legs and arms.

The Walmart I picked them up at had a bunch of the Add-ons including the harpy and siren which i've never seen!. I really want the harpy but I hate having to go through the trouble of buying the torso and extra body parts for her  :huh:

Same! The see-through torsos and limbs really aren't all that great. They should've just been translucent like the lower legs and head, rather than fully transparent. I like her anyway though.

The blob girl looks great with blue hair!

If I get the ice girl, I was planning on lightly sanding her with a super-fine-jewelry grit sandpaper to give her body a frosted look to match the rest of her. She's pretty, but kind of an odd character I guess.

I have to ask.

How on earth do you get the werewolf ears on? Because I cannot figure it out. I thought she'd have holes in her head but apparently not.

Yeah, I still have not figured this out or been brave enough to try cutting anything to get them to stay on.  To me, this is the worst part of the CaM sets.  Why the heck does Mattel think that the clips actually work?  Right now my werewolf and werecat are both earless because of this.  I am afraid to cut anything because I am notorious for making things crooked or cutting too much.  I don't want to ruin the wigs or their heads.
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: Melissa on April 10, 2013, 09:24:21 AM
One thing I recommend when cutting the wig is cut from the INSIDE. That way, even if the cuts don't end up working you're not really ruining the wig. Just cut the plastic inbetween the rows of hair. It's really relatively easy but I would be happy to try and do a tutorial once I get another character with ears.
Title: Re: The CaM Appreciation Thread!!!
Post by: justkitter on April 10, 2013, 05:32:41 PM
I cut the clips off (because they are useless!) and push a thick needle through the wig cap.  This makes small holes for you to push the ear pegs into.  The holes are invisible, and you can put in as many as you want until you have the ear placement just the way you want it.  I keep the useless clips to put on the inside of the wig cap to "pinch" the wig cap, so that the ears don't fall off.  The best part of this method is that the ears can rotate 360 degrees, which makes for great pictures :heart:

I plan to "upgrade" to the nail method eventually though.  I believe that method to be more secure.  Someone suggested using screws, as well.  I might try that.

I cut the clips off too - I just push a pearl-headed pin through the bottom/back of the ear, and stab it into the doll's head.

AND, I just finally replaced my long-lost werewolf CAM - so I'ma be spamming ASAP.

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited I finally decided on the perfect wig for my werewolf CAM (with help from my amazing fiance, he is good at being blunt about what does/doesn't work).

Introducing Kenzi Dyson (someone please get that reference?)

I have 5 CAMs: Skeleton, werewolf, dragon, vampire, sea monster. My werewolf is Kenzi Dyson and my vampire is Drusilla Dresden (I watch too much TV). That's all I've come up with so far.

I was going to have her be the daughter of the frost giants, but "Allice Burr" doesn't sound very Scandinavian. Having her be the daughter of Old Man Winter didn't seem quite right either, so I took a page from Pratchett's Discworld and went with his granddaughter instead (like Susan is Death's granddaughter).

I'm still not 100% sure about spelling Alice with two Ls though. It just looks wrong to me. But I thought maybe it was too subtle with just one L.

If you ever play a game called 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors, they mention a woman who's body froze at room temperature, and she was knows as All-Ice, and then Alice. So it all works, and I at least catch on right away.

Post by: pukunui on April 21, 2013, 10:30:53 PM
I haven't heard of that game. Sounds intriguing. I just couldn't take it any longer, though. The spelling was driving me nuts, so I changed it to "Alice Brr".

Here's my CAM dragon, Georgina:

Thanks. Her hairdo was loosely inspired by Maya (http://cdn-gulli.ladmedia.fr/var/jeunesse/storage/images/gulli/chaine-tv/dessins-animes/redakai/personnages/maya/maya/18835226-2-fre-FR/Maya.jpg) from Redakai (a Pokemon-style cartoon that's on a local after-school kids program my girls like to watch). I messed it up and had to redo it, but I wasn't able to get it exactly the same as before. I think I actually like it better now, though, to be honest. I kinda like those two little longer spikes at the bottom. Oh and I'm so glad I managed to get Jackson's GB shades. They're so awesome. Thanks SwordPony!

My Vampire has been repainted and I sanded her facial features down to look like the daughter of Slenderman.(Slenderella as I call her)
I made a few tweaks to my Sea monster,Coloring her fins sparkly aqua,And removing her eyebrows. (Seanna as I call her)
My Witch got her lips repainted to a light peach. (I call her Stella)
My Cat got her eyeshadow repainted to black. (I call her Tabby)
And my Bee girl was morphed with the arms,thighs and torso of the Witch,And her original legs to make a bee/grasshopper morph girl,Her name is Gracie Hopper.
I plan on eventually getting every CAM set,I just adore the CAM's.

ZOMG Puck and Victoria!!!  Such gorgeous customs guys!  Here is the newest Sea Monster to my group...she needs a name, and I was SO happy to see her in the mail yesterday...

It was raining all day today, so I didn't get a good chance to get pics outside, so she and Morgann the Gorgon sat inside and watched me make a bracelet!

It had already started sprinkling by the time I got this first photo, and she just couldn't believe it!

I'm kinda sad at the harpy wings being so heavy that you cant pose her...

That bugs me too...she's so cute though!  On another note, have you seen the harpy with the white wings?  I want one like her now!
Ooh no I didn't reference pic? I know some of the old legends have harpys as white winged. brass clawed women... Kinda makes me want to take the unicorn "crown" and make it into a bird beak mask...

These all look great! I love that gorgon. c:
I just got my first CAM set - the witch/cat and I love it so much. The witch is absolutely gorgeous with her nose bump and slightly cleft chin. I was hoping to get a 'meh' one to repaint but her face-up is totally perfect so now I'm wondering if it's worth it!

I just need more wigs and clothes - the witch/cat wig is awful, and those ear clips are useless! Definitely considering glueing them onto the werecat for safekeeping if nothing else!

I'm thinking of making an Elphaba out of my witch... does anyone else like making their CAMs into existing characters? c:

My werewolf is based on Kenzi from Lost Girl. However, in the show, Kenzi is a human (so far) but one of her friends, Dyson, is a werewolf, so I named her Kenzi Dyson.
My vampire is based on Drusilla from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
My witch is going to have an outfit based on Theodora from Oz the Great and Powerful, so same thing as you, just using a different prequel to Wizard of Oz as my basis.

Yep. Mine's named "Myra Gulch" tho, after her alter ego from Thw Wizard of Oz, she's sorta more like an amalgam of the 2 characters. or maybe even Elfie and Fiyero's daughter...

My CAM Vampire girl is named Pam Platelet, Pam is in homage to Pam from True Blood/Sookie STackhouse (I want a Sookie eventually too)

I NEED to see these!  I've been wanting to do this for awhile, but my mind isn't creative enough to pull it off.  I guess that's why I wouldn't mind a few normie dolls :blush:  Makes customizing alot easier.

Ruin Embeth Smolders, she doesn't want to do what her parents want her to, which is to attack castles, but her name is Ruin because of castle ruins. She can be girly when she wants, but usually is more punkish. She is more like her family than she cares to realize, even in temper.

Ooh, you are too sweet! I can't take credit for creating Eyevette...but I thank the etsy seller dearly for coming up with her! I especially like her because she seems way more 'monster' than your average MH. Same with the gorgon, Jina, etc. The more monster-ey ones are always my favorite.

Frankie: I'm glad I helped convince you to get her! How do you have her dressed up, and what wig is she wearing? :)

Her face does look extra sweet there, though I regret the decision to have the back of her shirt open for that. It makes her look terribly awkward! Eyevette's creator would be mythicalmommy1717 on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/mythicalmommy1717http://www.etsy.com/shop/mythicalmommy1717

Wow, you changed so little about her face and yet she looks so different! Definitely like her better like that.
I also hated the red lips. It made her look too aggressive for some reason.

But I always liked the whiskers! XD They made her stand out from the other werecats.
I just wish they hadn't been black.

On the subject of whiskers, I made a cheshire pony a while back and I used a very sharp needle and some fishing line to create this effect: visitors can't see pics , please register or login

My "Glass Eyed Ghouls" are finished! After being commissioned by a member here to make one, Chessie was an experiment that ended up pretty awesome. She's not for sale, though I have another Sea Monster, Dragon, Bee, Cat and Witch in the works. Keep your eyes peeled for them up in my etsy shop! I am able to take commissions as well, so feel free to PM me for more information, or check my shop for the commission listing!


Chessie (Nessie's cousin. She lives in the Chesapeake Bay.) Scratch that, I'm calling her Mari, (Mari Ana Trench) as in the Marianas Trench!

My "Glass Eyed Ghouls" are finished! After being commissioned by a member here to make one, Chessie was an experiment that ended up pretty awesome. She's not for sale, though I have another Sea Monster, Dragon, Bee, Cat and Witch in the works. Keep your eyes peeled for them up in my etsy shop! I am able to take commissions as well, so feel free to PM me for more information, or check my shop for the commission listing!

I just fixed my Cat CaM to where I think I actually like her. Carved down the ridiculously large ears, removed the horrid deep red lips and nose, and those pathetic mustache/whiskers. Behold, the glory that is Chessy Wonderland!

Okay, just bear with me here as I say all this.

You guys have inspired me so much. I wanted a CAM I could really call my own. I flipped back and forth on how I would customize my werewolf CAM, but I finally made a choice. I bought some dolly hair and set for making a silver themed girl.

This is my Wolf, Sterling. Her dress I assume was a barbies, which I altered to fit her, the boots are her own, her lips have been repainted, blush has been applied as have pink in her inner ears, and her eyes have been glossed with mod podge for a more water surface appearance, and also given a touch of silver in them. She has been haired using Tea Rose Fairys breath and starlight Dolly hair.

Her personality is a WIP, as she's still 'telling me' about herself. She seems shy and private, but very sweet.

I'll take better pics when the sun is out v,v

thanks so much Refuse-to-dance!! I ran out of hair honestly, and I have so gaps to fill on in my girl, but for the moment she's getting away without the full head of locks I wanted to give her. I still have some nit picky work to do on her, but I'm so happy you like her.

I'm such a novice at this, I really was stressing out a bit because I was afraid everyone would tastefully look over her instead of telling me she stinks. I know the hard core customizers out there will understand what I mean, I really have a lot of work yet to do.

Or maybe I'm just stupidly insecure XD

She looks like a younger, more demure sister to my Gabby or Luna

Say hello, to a fast 'n dirty attempt at my latest girl - Honey Beezinthetrap.

What I did for Ruin was revamped her wig into semi mohawk, gave her a good faceup and repainted her lips.

I did that wig in two braids and gave it to my Sea Monster ^.^ At first I was like UGH THIS WIG and now I love it!

I did a small braid on the left and put it into a loose pony tail. Shampooing it has made soft fluffy waves and it gives my gorgon a soft girl next door look.  I'll prob keep switching it with the purple wig but it definitely is a fav after some work.

I really need to take a group pic of my CAMs, I now have the gorgon, ice girl, blob, and insect. I have a Scaris Ghoulia and Skellita but I am definitely a CAM girl. I bought the torso pack and I plan to get the 3-eyed girl if I can ever find her.

I spent all my budgeted mad money on the bee and the dragon/were pack so I can't take up any offers on getting me a 3-eyed ghoul for at least two more weeks.

I got the werewolf for my sister to customize and I haven't bonded with the dragon so if anyone is interested she is up for grabs sans wig of course.

You should beable to find Lagoona very soon.  This was the first time I'd seen Opie, second time for Frankie, but I think it was the 3rd or 4th seeing Lagoona so keep an eye out.   :lookround:

One day she wants to do it for a living and have her own business as well as a best-selling collection of "Crystal's crystals" ;)

I'm trying to come up with Isolt's backstory too. I'm thinking she's part Finnish, Swedish and Irish, as her first name is Celtic and means both Ruler of Ice and Ice battle as well as Fair Lady. Lumi means Snow in Finnish and Fryst is Frost in Swedish. I think her father is half Swede and Half Finnish and her mom is the pureblood Irish girl.

It' because it was hosted on imagebanana and they seem to have difficulties at the moment.
Here is it again ^^

I'm currently working on a hard wig for her (similar to the blob's), but I almost prefer her bald :)

Okay, having two forums is already messing me up. I was like "didn't I already post in this thread?" and then I realized I did this on the other forum. :lol:

Ditto! I'm just going to continue to lurk for a while... because lurking is what I'm good at.  :lol:

I actually think she looks pretty good bald, I don't know if its cause of the coloring or because she is a ice girl so it seems natural for her to be bald..just throwing random thoughts out there :D ..but she does look good with out hair, although a wig of icicles pointing up or down wouldn't  be bad either. Don't know how that would be done though.  Don't mind me I'm just rambling lol

Thanks Zapper! She looks lovely in her accessories.

Both my gorgon and ice girl end up hanging around bald most of the time when I tote them around in my crochet bag. I love hair but I've started to appreciate their bald look.

Thank you both! She turned out so much better than expected! The rest of the CAMS I'm putting eyes into should be done sometime this weekend. Their eyes should be here tomorrow! *fingers crossed!*

She's hauntingly gorgeous Cate, I never thought Monster high gals could pull of glass eyes!  And now, some pics of my girls I took before going away for the summer.
First is my witch Ruby, who I am proud to have gotten the werewolf wig to work for, and the other two are as of yet unnamed werewolves.  The blonde one was rerooted by Princess_Squishy, and the red haired one was a reroot by Ravie whom I purchased from Icecrystalline.

I've always loved the Ravie werewolf.  Firecracker you snatched her up before I even knew she was for sale. :lol: And I keep thinking about that witch CAM.  Yours looks great with the werewolf wig.

Thanks Faunabay :)
The witch is quite lovely when you find the look that works.  I actually had one before and this is a different one, it took me a while to warm up to her!

Cate: I keep trying to figure out if you are moving her eyes at all.  Are you using eye putty so that you can move 'em, or are they stuck in one position?  I like her side ways glance:)

Nope they're stuck where they are. Thats the cool part about the glass eyes is they've got that "Mona Lisa" quality to them. If you hit the right angles with your shot, it looks like their eyes are focused on the camera!
