Does anyone know anything about the Disney Princess toddler dolls you can get at Walmart/Target? The ones like
this Cinderella, with inset "reflection" eyes; I'm not sure who makes them...
Anyway; I found some videos on Youtube where someone made custom toddler dolls, and since then I've kinda been tossing around the idea of customizing some into Dipper and Mabel from Gravity Falls.
The dolls being $20 each has put me off the project, but my Walmart has the dolls on sale for $9 right now so I'm taking the fact that I could get both base dolls for what I'd normally pay for one as a sign to go for it.
But I have a couple questions before I jump into anything.
I believe the hair is nylon, though it feels different from pony nylon. Would it take dye at all? Belle is the only doll that comes pre-made with the right hair color (and length, for Mabel), but I'm not sure her expression fits Dipper/Mabel so I was wondering if I could dye someone else to have the right color. I don't want to reroot because the heads are large and rather hard.
Does anyone know of any doll lines that can share clothes with the Princesses? I've never sewed (beyond small repairs) before, so I'd prefer to find ready-made stuff if I can. Especially a hat for Dipper; I probably *could* sew everything else if I had to, but I think a hat would be beyond me.
