thanx you angelfish & fizzycat ^-^ that's super good news!

also kinda surprising MGA gets away with this

i luv tbp pics & reviews~thanx so much

I cannot say Die Antwoord hard enuff or loud enuff.

I'm pretty music stupid myself *&* bedridden too. So now!

_I lurk____

& wait til I can read more & do more webbing

really?! I've worked at 2 of the 3 in my area. ON IT! Love Tuesday Morning *&* totes need xmas stuff for the first one with my bf's fam. They have no xmas stuff...at all...square one, but fun

What were you wearing? I was watching the event via stickcam *&* it was SOooo amazing. Congrats on the new addition*!*

I didn't feel well enough to go into TRU, wal mart, or kmart to look for Liv dolls today while I was out. Was a bit bummed about it, but not so much so I wasn't putting good vibes into getting a Liv doll.

So I decided to place an ebay bid. I was outbid...but then I got a message offering a second chance for my initial offer!!! I didn't know that ever happened. It certainly has never happened to me before.

I can't wait to meet her~!~and show you all my Liv ^-* Thank you everyone for being so super helpful & sweet. {hugs}

@TuxAndTails Thank you for all that info. That's an enormous help, cuz most of the ones I've seen on the shelves are well clothed & covered, but *now* I know most of em aren't what I'm looking for. I had no idea they'd been discontinued: the Liv in Wonderland are so fabulous...whyyy??? I better get an Alice before they vanish from Target: def not clearance priced, but SO what I want. Oh, poo, I was hoping Halloween themed Livs would be around the corner: I like how they're not overtly sexy.

@aellos Good to know. Maybe if they had continued to make them fully articulated they wouldn't be discontinued now. The sleepover ones have BBE tho, right? Maybe I'm wrong, but if they do, do they function pretty well: is it cool?

@LuvlyMelody Aw, thank you. I felt like I couldn't even be part of the MH community once people knew about it, cuz I could not keep up with the thread within like 3 months. Actually FIM blew up the arena & I get buried.

I prolly don't hav enuf experice to be making judgments. I got a raincoat, outfit, and even an adorable bubble umbrella for $2 at target. I had to get clothes for my Bratzillaz girl, cuz I hate her stock. I love the print on the coat & it's a bit stiff, but still completely fab. The grey plaid skirt & pink tank top has an unfinished hem and it just got ragged really quick. Sleeping with ur doll may not be normal use either & for all I know if I'd just posed her & displayed her the shirt & skirt would be fine. I think I'll be able to trim the stringies & use fray check to clean it up again.

Pah-ha, well I do like pink, but you're right that it's hard to get away from. That's what is so cool about the Liv line. They always have fashionable outfits that look like they were bought in a real store. And they don't seem to be so charatcter specific or even that coordinated, so a lot of things look like they can be easily mixed and matched. I mean, geez I luv Frakie Stein, but everything after DOTD & GB was too insanely patterned with stitches & bolts: screaming Frankie Stein at the top of it's lungs. I have to go look at TRU again now, cuz I think there were some swinwear girls for really cheap.

Barbie doesn't seem to have as big an issue with quality control as Monster High does (esp concerning face-ups) and Braztzillaz are no better than MH at all. DO you guys think I should buy LIV in real life so I can do quality control? A wonky eye or missing makeup wuld bother me lots. The only dolls I've got sight unseen are the first wave of MH & Venus..even tho she's ten deep on shelves everywhere [face-palm]

@Taxel Hi Please do tell=] I may have to resort to amazon at those prices! It's those newer color and dance ones whose stock I want, of course. LOL, my far TRU had tons of packs with a scarf and a dog outfit..maybe sum sunnies. My close TRU had no $ packs. The far one is a dump of everything getting cleared out from my region's warehouse, so ya never know.

They DO have BBE! I thought they did. I'm not a photographer really, but I love hearing that gives her more depth. My dolls are my friends & quite frankly I'm getting sick of the 'tude my MH girls have. Now, my bf has the sweetest faced ghouls, but original DL & GB Frankie are my only friendly dolls. Which is why I got the Bratzillaz.

I'm not esp skilled at any modifications. I teflo-bitsued Papin, but it was no easy task. I'm not careful enough to have Pullip =[ She makes me nervous unless she's put away u phigh. Papin's stock is pretty loose & relaxed in fit, so I bet it would fit liv.

Has anyone put a sleepover liv head on an orig body? Are head swaps pretty simple?

Considering what I got in that rainy day fashion pack I have little complaint. The neck and armholes are folded over and stitched, so it's just odd to me that the bottom & skirt were left like that. I'm glad to hear that clothing quality is for the majority high. Cuz, man, I luv me sum liv clothes.

Yay, Barbie clothes flow from the universe like water in a rainforest & I'm thirsty for fashion. Most of mine are that era too. I imagine newer clothes would fit tho, cuz liv hav modest busts and normal waistlines & those seem to be the way barbie evolved. I have a set that's pretty new, a 3 pack of similar themed outfits...I wanna saw fashion avenue?  I'll be sure to try those on my liv(when I get one), so we all know. 

@grzankitter & @Taxel & TuxAndTails  OMG, dance Daniela~!~ I love her clothes & face: those leggings~!~i die*!* She was priced at 24.99 at TRU, but I looked online & it says 10, so maybe it's only online that she's that cheap...or they're slackin on their PCs. I almost got her, but that price was too high to gamble on articulation.

@Taxel Oh, that skirt! Isn't the shirt to it as crazay as the skirt, too? Those are vinyl pockets everywhere, right? I never had that Barbie, but I wanted her. I, by the by, am addicted to all things see thru.

that jacket is perfect. With the pink hair & blunt bangs she has it totes belongs on her. That sencond to last pic is great!

So it's pretty easy to pop a head off?

@back to everrbody
Oh hey, are all their skin tones the same? Try to figure out how to say...is the palest one always palest or do certain iteration vary, like to have a tan?

Do body swaps (this is me falling apart, plez bear with me) go only on character that matching? Like only Alexis head can be on Alexis body?

Pictures online always look so different even with doll same. I mostly want palest girl, look like me with blue eyes-what ego this! Not sure there even is one like that. You guys have clearly done eye custom...with mismatch (luv it-was that Taxel?) If she wore the green with striped shirt n park pictures she quite caught my eye. You all have a lot of dolls to keep straight. I tho I wuld never like Liv either, but now I do. And I techinically owna bratz doll, so never say never I guess.

I hope I remember to tell my boyfriend these dolls are not out new now & for Xmas shopping, do that now before cost goes up just cuz they get scarce. I'll have to now very specific what I want. that's much easier with all the help I've gotten here.

~*hugs*~

Would ebay be the cheapest place to get liv dolls?

Which sets DO NOT have full articulation? I noticed on some the knees are jointed differently, then some not at all, and other ones don't have art arms. It's all pretty overwhelming.

I'm going to sell my Papin cuz what I want/need is a relatively sturdy doll that can be posed & played with & drug around town. Do Pullip clothes fit liv?

I've bougth liv wigs for MH & they're great, but I got a little outfit pack & the clothes were made of cheap material, but made well. Is that the norm for this line?

Do barbie clothes fit liv?

Sorry if this is annoying questions.  I could prolly get this info myself, but I'm not lazy. Just sick & can't do much web surfing, so I'd really appreciate some help.

Luv all ur Liv pics*!*
