A thread to talk about Livs, spam Liv photos, and chat about Liv-related things. Its fine to post photos of Livs with non-Livs and to discuss things like other doll clothing/accessories in relation to Livs (i.e. Barbie clothes/accessories you want for your Livs), but this is a Liv thread first and foremost and that's what we're here to talk about!
All I ask is if you're posting a lot of photos, 5+ I'd say, use spoiler tags so the thread doesn't lag! :)
If, for some reason, you don't want to post here or you just want to look at Liv photos without chat scattered around, visit the pic spam thread (http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,306280.0.html)!

I'll start us off with an introduction to my School's Out Sophie! Like most of my dolls, she's currently nameless. >.< I actually got her over a month ago, but never got around to posting about her.

She's a super pretty doll, and I'm quite happy with her. The only problem? When I first got her I tried to remove her wig, and it ripped off of the peg! I originally planned to use her wig on someone else, but thankfully the colors weren't perfect for that so she got to keep it. I don't know if I want to hot glue it to her head or not. It can be a huge pain to get it to look right, which also means I'm worried about gluing it on wrong.

These dolls are really pretty! I absolutely love the detail in their face. It's really different and better quality from barbie. I don't really collect them though and don't think I ever will, sadly. They're just a bit too realistic to fit into my collection of toys lol. I DO however enjoy viewing creative photos of them! They make such good models! So please pic spam on, collectors!
:biggrin: :biggrin:

ooh, fun! Here are 3 of my girls...I'm on my tiny computer, so I don't have many photos here, and I haven't uploaded the ones I do have onto photobucket, lol.

I love all the photos! I might take some tomorrow. I've taken a few of my Queen of Hearts acouple days ago, and when I get the chance, I'll share them with ya' guys :)
Christmas 2011 I got Alice in Wonderland Hayden, and I never really connected with her. I didn't want to sell her, so I decided to use her body for my Pullip, her wig for a Create a Monster in the future, and her clothing for my Pullip and other Liv Dolls. But one thing was left - the head. Keeping a random head around would be creepy on so many levels, so I decided that I want to customize her 8D
But I have no clue what to do. Any tips? Oh, and if any of you have, or know of, any Liv customs, please share pictures! ^_^
-
I've acquired 16 or 17 (depending on how you count the horse) Liv dolls since late March. XD
One of them, the girl with pink hair, is supposed to be traded to a friend, but we're not sure if that's gonna work out yet, but man I hope so. If the trade falls through, I'm going to have her customized when I can afford it. Some sort of mystical or complex face-up, like maybe half of a butterfly by one eye? I wish that Spinmaster had done some mythical/just not so ordinary Livs.
As far as customs go, I know I've seen a lot of them of Flickr. But they range from REALLY awful to amazingly good, so it can be a bit painful to look them up. Lol!

Question for all you LIV collectors.. Do they make many red head dolls? I have a thing for red head dolls.. Which is why I have Ariel, Bloom from Winx, and Meygana Broomstix... I would love to have at least one LIV for my doll collection and am hoping for a nice red head with preferably blue eyes.
Any ideas?
-
Nope, there are no redheads and I believe there are only two "red" wigs (one isn't very red and has brown in it (http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxybelle/7313694724/), and the other is crimson and brown/black (http://www.flickr.com/photos/33059548@N05/5698284942/)). That's like the one thing that pisses me off and drives me insane with Livs. They've got all these different skintones (even though the "white girls" are usually hard to see it on, if there is a difference) and tons of different wigs and everything. . .but lol redheads? Screw them!
What you could do is buy a Sophie (she has blue eyes) and some type of red wig.
Edit: Redhead spam!

-
Yay! Now we finally have a thread for Liv dolls!
I'd post pics but I haven't taken any and I had to return my friend's camera since he needed it, but I'll probably ask him again later. X3
I have too many Sophies. Just added a 3rd and already possibly gonna get a 4th one soon. >> *Found a SO Sophie on "clearance" at Rite Aid*
So if anyone wants to trade...XP
-
I think I will slowly post the photos I have all pretty and edited. I should finally have PS back soon though, and that will end in huge amounts of spam!
Nadia and Tavore. :D
visitors can't see pics , please
register or
loginBut speaking on Sophies, I can't decide if I love or hate her eyes. They make me think of stuff like shattered glass, and they look so out of place with other Livs usually. That's all good for the ice mage girl, but its kinda odd on the others to me.
And for eyes in general, I wish they had at least done different styles of the same colors. Aren't they all the same?
-

That actually looks stunning on her! Do you have any more pics you could show? :D
-
Her eyes do look like shattered glass. I opened my SO Hayden today after so long (Finally) and her eyes goes from olive green into a orange/brown which I really like. I need to get some more dolls to change their eyes as well as wigs...too many blonde ones. =_=;
-
Karrie - I have some more photos of that doll here (http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,300640.0.html). But I could take some more for you tomorrow if you'd like.
Luvly - I adore Hayden's eyes! Though I think Katie's have to be my favorites. I'm a sucker for bright green.
Thankfully I only have 5 blonde dolls. :D And one doesn't even wear a wig. I'm kinda annoyed over all the brown/black I have, and I'd love to get some more unnatural colored wigs at least for fun.
-
Yeah, I LOVE Katie's eyes!! That's why I chose her eye color as a perfect match to go with Sophie's! I wish I could find more of their fasion packs. >,<; Really want that Tennis outfit along with the Night Out outfit as well as any of the other dresses they have, fancy or not.
But if this project goes well, maybe I'll be able to come up with all kinds of dresses!! *Motivated*
-
Oh man, I wish I could buy basically every fashion pack. The ones I want most (at least on the website I'm on) are Night Out (thanks, lol), Prom Night Teal Dress, and Preppy Cool Fashion 2-Pack. I also really want the purple one you were hunting down when I first got into Liv.
The Tennis outfit used to be all over the place here. Made me hate it. xD
-
That same pink & purple I took for granted last month when I saw it and was like: "I want it, but chances are no one will buy it so I'll have a lot of time to get it" It's gone now...=-=; Maybe I can try to go out of reach places and search for it there hoping they're there. Do you by any chance still see those Tennis sets? If not, then Barbie better have one just as nice as that one and isn't overloaded with pink. >,>
-
If I've learned anything from collecting toys, its to buy what you want IMMEDIATELY or you may never see it again. It drives me nuts. XP
And I haven't been anywhere but TRU in ages, since May I think, but the Liv stock had been nearly wiped out. Aside from dolls, I think Target had a few clothing packs/wigs but Fred Meyer only had like one wig. TRU has nothing but a few accessory sets and Hayden's House if that counts. Man do I want Hayden's House, its down to $25 from $45, but can't afford it and no room for it now. I love that Hayden's dress.
-
Yeah, that's basically why I'm taking a break from MH, gonna save up money (and hopefully not spend it all on Liv stuff) and stay away from the MH Aisle. =_=
Well, if you do go out and see any of those mentioned sets by any chance, think of me!! In the meantime...*Looks at Barbie fashion 3-pack sets*
Has it been experimented/confirmed if barbie shoes fit Liv Dolls??
-
Its driving me nuts right now, having Livs being discontinued and other lines drawing me in. I want to buy them ASAP so I don't have to worry about them, but we are really struggling with money right now. Like we can't buy food. I know food is more important, of course, and wouldn't pick dolls over necessary food, but still. It really bites. We keep flip flopping from fine to near homeless to just poor.
I'll definitely let you know if they pop up. :D
I can't speak for modern Barbie shoes, but I have two dolls from the late 90's (at least I think, I don't quite recall) that I opened recently, the Tweety one and See's Candies one. The Tweety slippers fit Livs snuggly, but they're made of fabric. The plastic See's shoes were way too small and I don't think I was able to fit in toes.
-
Hi again, you two! I hate that this line is being discontinuted...they're so pretty. I'll definitely be picking up a few more off Amazon before they're all gone. My TRU never really carried many of them, so there are almost none left now. And I've never seen any of the fashion packs in person, so I'll for sure have to order a few of those. I NEED the one with the little Union Jack mini-dress, like I need air.
Anyway, here's a pic of my lovely Hatter...I love her! I usually bring a doll of some type to work with me every day, just to chill out on my desk, and today I have this pretty girl.

My Target has TONS of Liv stuff. We have no scalpers and barely any doll collectors in our area. And everything is on clearance! ^_^
@barbgirl1999 You... you... youhavemadhatterkatieeeeee?!? :dropjaw: I've been wanting her for so long! But I never have the money to get her on the few times I find her :C More pictures! :banana:
-
One TRU I go to still have a lot of the making waves stuff while the other one I go to has barely anything, just Hayden's house playset and some of the twist and dance dolls.
While I do hate it that Liv Dolls are no longer being produced because it's hard to find stuff that I'd want, it's even more harder finding them when people are buying them solely for the wigs for their MH CAM Dolls!!! :rant: *Sigh* visitors can't see pics , please register or login
@JigglesTheCat: Next time you're at Target, you should take pics/list what you see in case anyone here might need them! I'm sure that would help a lot of people trying to find stuff they can't find in their area!
-
(Ignore the doll, lol I have no wish to be stoned for posting a MH here)
This girl has a RED liv wig. (I did trim the bangs into the shape, they were the usual flat shape) I found the Liv doll for I think $10ish at Walmart a few weeks ago?

Mad Hatter Katie is so awesome! :D She's one of my favorite dolls. Mine has slightly wonky eyes though, which is kind of annoying. But I adore her wig and dress.
The TRU here has Making Waves, Twist & Dance, Spa Makeover, and Hayden's House. Sometimes they have a few accessory packs, but they stopped doing the "Buy a Liv thing, get an accessory pack free" thing. Last time I looked in May, Target had mostly Color dolls, a few wigs, and maybe a clothing pack or two while Fred Meyer had Spa Makeover, Color, and a few wigs.
Colorscapesart, that must've been a Liv for Color. They're the newest ones and have very few joints. I didn't know there was a red one, but I ignore them so that's my fault. Lol.
-
OMG A MH DOLL!?! *Prepares to pelt fakies* lol jk. I do like the colors of the Liv for Color wigs, but the matching lipstick and scalp color isn't helping. >,> One of the Targets I go to that has them on the cheapest clearance out of all Targets are all gone now. >,< I dun wanna pay full price or over $5. Shoot!
I also saw a bunch of Making Waves Jake dolls at Marshall's going for $6.99. Not a big fan of him, but that does seem like a good price.
-
I hate the Liv for Colors. They're so boring! I definitely wouldn't be willing to pay more than around $5 for one either, with their insanely plain outfits.
Oh hey, that's a pretty good price! The ones on TRU's online store are like $18, and Amazon was around $15 when I checked. Thankfully I don't like him so I don't have to want to fork over $30+ for all of his outfits. Though I kinda wish they made a male Liv I actually liked. I don't mind having lots of lesbian Livs, but I'd love to be able to have some boys in the mix. Especially with Nadia, Mary, and Molly, since they have kids. XP
-
Yeah, those dresses are terrible and simple. =_=; Only reason I'd want to get them is for the shoes (maybe), wigs, eyes and possibly their heads.
I'm so tempted to paint one of my Sophie's scalp brown, but I'm scared the paint will either stretch, rip or scrape off since their heads are squishy. I wonder if anyone has tried this yet.
I also need names for my upcoming/future Liv Customs & Renames.
*Sigh* I actually had so much fun reading the Liv girl's Diaries and watching the webisodes that went along with it. I've only gone through Sophie's Diary and it's so cool how it tells how she got her Scooter, her everyday life and all that good stuff. It's like I've met and know her as a person. XP I'm gonna go through Katie's now.
-
I wouldn't mind owning the dresses and sprucing them up a bit with like belts or anything more interesting, but I won't go out of my way to get them or anything. Though I need a ton of shoes badly, so I'd take any pairs I could get no matter how lame. xD
Maybe use the type of paint/sealer people use on ponies?
I'm cheating with my names. Every Liv is named after Beatles song titles/lyrics. :D Though some are only nicknamed that way.
I didn't know they have diaries and webisodes! I just tried to read a diary, and wow the interface is terrible. And the fancy fonts + low resolution made it difficult to read, so I just gave up. Oh well.
-
The Diaries are pretty time consuming to load and stuff, but I had fun reading Sophie's. The webisodes are also on youtube if the website is too much of an eyesore. XD
According to the wikipedia site *taking with a grain of salt* for Spin Master; if Liv did go on to 2013, they were going to have:
-Liv For U
-Liv Movie Starz
-Liv Singers
I really wish I knew what those new lines could've been. *Sob* Also apparently Spin Master is a mostly toys for boys kinda company and Liv was their first attempt at a Fashion Doll line. Now that makes me more sad their first attempt and they had such great potential but was overshadowed by MH...TToTT
-
Maybe I'll try them again later. If nothing else they sound like a decent way to waste some time. xD
Oh man, pretending they didn't shoot themselves in the foot by removing so many joints and imagining the dolls would've been the same wonderful jointed girls we know and love. . .omg. Movie Starz and Singers have so much potential! I wish instead of destroying their own line Spinmaster had taken a hint from MH and moved into a more fantasy realm of dolls. Maybe made a "spin off" line of fantasy dolls and phased out normal Livs if they were successful? That would have been AMAZING!!! I would give anything for a rebooted fantasy Liv line.
And since we don't have enough photo spam, enjoy a shot of HAYDEN! Omg I can't believe I was so tired I called her the wrong name. She is maaaaaaad. xD

Yeah.. The limited joints thing was just horrible! When I got Sleepover Party Daniela I was so sad when I opened her and found out how bad her joints were. I fantasy Liv line would be... FANTASTIC! I would buy them all!
Oh, and here are the shots of Alexis. (I prefer a lot of my dolls with the pixie cuts!)

I took more, but these turned out the best C:
-
A Sleepover Party Sophie was my first doll, and thankfully I knew they had disappointing joints before I got her. But the karate chop ("pillow throwing") is very amusing to me (I want SP Daniela so my boyfriend and I can play karate fighting Livs xD), and the BBEs/real lashes are very worth it for me.
I've got two girls that sport the pixie cuts! They're so cute. SP Sophie, Nadia, and Spa Makeover Alexis. That second photo of your Red Queen Alexis is gorgeous. :D
-
*Sigh* One line I would've liked to be made is a Liv Sports line or something. With Soccer for Sophie, Tennis for Alexis, Lacrosse for Katie and other sports for Hayden and Daniela.
Hmm is it ever possible for another toy company to pick up toy lines from another company if they've dropped it?? Has that ever happen to any toy line in the past?? Probably never gonna happen, but I would LOVE it if another company like MGA or Mattel buys the patents from Spin Master and continue the Liv line with the same exact detail and everything!!
-
That would've been really cool! Sports accessories would have been awesome. I wish they'd done a babysitting playset/line (first jobs maybe?), but you probably could have guessed that and know exactly why. xD I would've loved to see some "younger siblings" Livs too. And some boys with different face molds! And different female face molds too, while I'm at it.
I don't know if its possible, but that would be amazing! Though with the issues like glue seepage on MH dolls and leg glue seepage on Barbies (though I don't know if its still an issue for Barbies), I would not want Mattel picking them up.
New page, so we need some pretty photos! :D Two shots of Sadie.

Arge! so I went to Target to see if the Liv for Colors were still there since they suddenly dissapeared a few days ago, and they were still gone. So I got a random wig instead. ALSO While I looked around, I actually took a closer glimpse at the Liv Brites Katie and I actually liked the outfit she came with and the wig as well as the color scheme and was on clearance for about $10, I declared right then and there (in my head at least) that THAT was the Katie I am going to get, instead of the Liv for Colors Katie since with this one I get a cooler outfit, long purple wig, hopefully a brown scalp and possibly use her eyes and/or rebody her OR Replace her head with a Twist & Dance Katie on a older Liv body...Then again, I'm still deciding. XD
I was aware of the MH Seepage, but OMG I had no idea Barbie was having seepage as well. >,<;
-
The Brites aren't *that* bad as far as clothing goes. I really want Katie's outfit, and the others are okay even if they could use some tweaks.
I don't remember the specifics and can't find where I saw it, but basically the legs with inner joints you can bend at the knees were leaking plasticizer or something very badly. I don't know if it still happens, but the fact that is has happened makes me wary. And I'd be afraid on MGA making them look like hookers (sorry Bratz) or having them skimp out and give them partial really bad rubber parts, like on the Bratzillaz. The bottom of their legs and their hands are rubber, but otherwise they're plastic I believe. I've heard a lot of bad things about that, and I know what a terror plastic legs are to dress.
Maybe we can convince Spinmaster to revamp them and do fantasy Livs? xD
-
I heard about the partial plastic/rubber mix of the legs on the Bratzillaz. That's just terrible... =_=; I still wann'em!! *o* JAKKS Pacific?? I haven't heard of any bad reps about them. I'd also say Hasbro maybe? but then knowing them, distribution would be confusing and all over the place. lol MGA, I don't even think they'll wanna touch Liv after what happened with Moxie Teenz not working out.
Katie's outfit is the only one I like out of the 3. Maybe Alexis's but the blue/orange color and squares gives me a strange '70s vibe and Sophie's is too much brightness with the yellow and pink it hurts just thinking about it. >,<;
-
I want Meygana if they go on clearance and I have all the other dolls I want by then. They're just for worth $20, when I could get two amazing Liv outfits for the same price (or less). I wonder if you could put their eyes in a Liv? And speaking of other dolls, you collect Moxie Girls right? Does their clothing fit Livs at all? I should be able to afford a True Hope one soon, should things keep going well. :D
I haven't heard anything bad about JAKKS Pacific either, but I'd sob if Hasbro took them over. I'm sure they'd drop in quality like crazy and double in price. Plus I refuse to buy anything from Hasbro anymore. Haha, we just can't win. Or at least I can't.
In an ideal world, if I had all of their outfits, this is what I'd change:
- Make the neck of Alexis's dress blue like the waist.
- Turn Sophie's dress into a skirt and add some more to it so its less plain, no idea what though.
- Put a nice wide belt over Katie's dress. She could also really use some bracelets.

I sure hope Hasbro doesn't take over Jakks! They have been making Pokemon toys since Tomy stopped here in USA for YEARS. I love the larger scaled figures, though Tomy rocked too..
Sorry for straying off topic.. but on topic.. At work yesterday I went back to the toy section to look for a LIV and check for MH stock (still a million and one Ghoulia Skull Shores) and all they had was ONE LIV doll. A blonde one. No wigs or outfits. They had a few Moxie Girls but most Moxie, LIV and Bratz stuff was clearance as well as many Princess stuff. No Bratzillaz though :( looks like I'll have to go back to Walmart for those. My toy section sucks!
-
Great pictures, everyone! While I personally don't have any Liv dolls, I have some clothes and wigs for my Tangkou and Moxie Teenz. I personally can't wait until the Liv for Color wigs start showing up on eBay. They are the best part of those dolls.
-
Katie's outfit would look much better with bracelets and a belt.
I so far have no problem with Hasbro. Just waiting for the wedding ponies to be released in my area is what's keeping me away from them for now since they take forever to distribute.
I'll try it to see if any Moxie Girlz clothes fits them. brb one moment. Oh no, they do not fit. >,<;
Size comparison wise, MG are shorter and slightly thinner than Livs. They look like they could be perfect for older/younger Sister proportions. As for the True Hopes dolls, Which True Hopes doll were you planning on getting? maybe you could poke a hole on top of their head at the right spot and make them Liv wig compatible!! Just an idea.
-
Karrie - In my experience, Liv is being thrown off the shelves everywhere, so to speak. The stores around here seem to want them gone yesterday, and they are actually gone from many stores. The Walmart here never even carried Liv, including before I started collecting them (I check both girl aisles for MLP and MH, so I'd have seen them). Good luck finding what you're after!
Not sure if you want the crimson/brown wig or not, but apparently its rare and expensive? I had a tough time finding mine, and was lucky a user here had it.
Dibbles - Do Liv shoes fit Tangkous? I never tried them. But thank you for reminding me I need to snag some Liv outfits for Marjorie!
Luvly - The way Hasbro has treated fans lately (no art pony + Bubblecup nightmare) and the lack of any quality control with G4s (I had to stop collecting them because displaying them in the "shade" of a G4 playset made head/body mismatch MUCH worse) had driven me away. I'd be so heartbroken if they got Livs or did a similar line that had all the same awful issues.
Aw, that's too bad. Thanks for checking for me!
I'm getting. . .Avery? I can't remember and don't feel like looking, but the one with the pink dress. I didn't like the other one so much in person. That's a great idea! I'll have to try my pegless Liv wig on my True Hope girl when I get her, but I love that they're bald too much to pop a hole in her head. I wish Livs had done a bald cancer awareness/support doll, it would've been so easy!
-
Yep, Liv shoes fit perfectly, but I wouldn't put her in boots because it might be hard to get her feet out. But they are great!!
-
Awesome, thanks! :D I'll have to keep that in mind. Some of my Liv shoes would look adorable on her.
-
My walmart never carried them either. NEVER was hoping they would make a great Liv source as I look for MH or MLP. The only wig I can think of that I'm searching for is the all black one.
Speaking of Wigs. Hayden always has to have 2 twist braids featured on her wigs. I'm debating whether I should remove them from her SO wig or not...*very tempted but knows she'll regret it later* Maybe if I buy any more Haydens.
Avery should be the light skinned girl while Sophina is the tan girl. I've never payed too much attention to the whole :muffin: Pony incident and I was a little irritated that she was the con pony instead on art pony when she would've been better off as a regular release. When I tried to get into Strawberry shortcake and saw the prices, I was like eff that, I'll stick to what I already have. I am not gonna pay $10+ for a doll that's practically the same size as a G4 pony. *goes back to topic*
@Karrie: Has there been a certain Liv doll you've been looking for?? If you're searching, I hope you find one that suits you while they're still in your stores! Do you by any chance remember which Moxie Girlz sets were on clearance??
-
Not sure what MG's were on clearence. Didn't pay much attention. They seem to be trying to get rid of what doesn't sell. We only ever sell toys during the holiday seasons, so we see a lot of clearance. But dolls aren't selling good at all around here. Our highest sales are Lego, Monster High, and Nerf Guns. But a lot of stuff is on sale. Disney Princess stuff is another one that's doing a lot of clearance. I thought about buying the LIV just to have one. Maybe try and track down that red wig.. If it's going to be rare though =/
I think Walmart carries LIV here. I didn't see ANY on the clearance there though. The clearance in Walmart isn't in the aisles, it has it's own little shelf area by the toys. Mostly unsold Jacob from the Twilight Saga dolls, a few 'collectors' Barbies and lots of Thunder Cats and Pirates of the Caribbean figures (lol?).
Walmart also carries MG. I'll probably be going back in a few weeks. I can check and see what we have in stock since LIV are becoming hard to find. If you guys want I can take pictures of their stock?
I could check at work for the Moxies again, though the last time I was there, I spent about a half an hour starring at all the dolls and several GM clerks kept giving me this weird look. I think everyone at work thinks I'm crazy! lol
-
@Karrie: Ooo if you could, that actually would be great! There are a few I'm looking for and hopefully they'll have what I'm looking for. X3
I need to find a way to get money quick to have these 2 Liv Dolls paid off fast. @,@; *Hates being broke*
-
I absolutely despise Hayden's blonde/reddish/brown wig. Does she have the same wig in every release but Wonderland? MW and the Clover set both look super similar to me, as I have them both. The Clover one I got used, owned by a child. It took me like half an hour to get it combed out with conditioner, and I've been desperately trying to tame it. No matter how many times I put it under very hot water and it gets "tamed", it keeps going back to being huge and poofy and messy. Its driving me nuts. :/
Then yeah, I was right, Avery is the True Hope doll I want to get. I love her clothes. It sucks they don't fit Livs, but it sounds like they'd fit Pullips. Or at least I hope so.

Eeee!!! *Comes home with Brite Katie* So excited!!! *opens doll*
....wtf is this?! *Tries to move arms*....*irritated face* wtf did they do...=_=; I am not amused....I like the outfit and all, but the shoes. She has high heel feet!! The shoes kinda fit. Well, she's serving my sole purpose for me so I'm not too disappointed, outfit, wig and eye transplant. Her super purple lips may be a problem.
I'm gonna try to rebody her later or something.
ETA: Aaaaand her purse just ripped.

Moxie Girlz clothing fits pullip really well, I heard. I don't have any myself, though.
Those photos are gorgeous! Mary is Alice in Wonderland Alexis, right?
-
Oh man, that poor Katie sounds like such a ripoff. I'm sorry her purse ripped already. D: Good luck with the rebodying!
Mary is the Red Queen, yep. :)
-
Eeep! Very traumatizing! I ended up popping out Katie's eyes and switching one with Sophie. XD
*Pokemon Center Sound Effect*
Success!!!
ETA: She did seem like a ripoff...if I bought her as an actual doll, but I only bought her as fodder so $10 for an outfit, wig and eyes. Sounds fine to me. XD and the purse was kinda Meh, it only had a tiny rip, just a tiny bit, not that noticeable.
All I need now is a Camera. >=D

She is so preeettty! Maybe you could remove the glitter on her face using nail polish remover...?
-
I'm pretty sure its in her plastic. It doesn't feel like there's anything on her face. Plus if I tried that I'd probably destroy her faceup. XP
-
Omg your Daniela is gorgeous!! Now I really want to get my Daniela paid off already!! XP
Outfits I've seen in store so far are just that Sailor Suit as well as that outfit that Mary has on. *Sigh* Wish I could find more but so busy with school to try to go out to far areas just to go look. =_=;
-
Isn't she? :D I absolutely adore her. <3
I want the Sailor Suit pretty badly. However at this point I just want any and everything that has shoes. I have soooo many shoeless girls (5 now, but it was 7 not long ago and one of the 5 doesn't match totally). I got the travel accessory pack the same day I got my Moxie, for the shoes (http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w465/ShortAxelMLP/Dolls/IMG_4830.jpg). The jewelry is also gorgeous, and the suitcase is amazing. It opens and the handle can be pulled out to make it longer. :D Only problem is it comes with a dog coat, so now I *have* get one of the dog sets. xD Not sure if it fits them all though.
I'm gonna beg my boyfriend to take me to TRU next time we're out, and transfer a few extra bucks to the bank account. If they still have 98 cent accessory packs, I want to pick up the other two they had last time I was there.
-
A pair of shoe's I'd like is the Breakfast accessory kit *Goes to TRU.com to check the name* Noooo it's gone!!! TToTT
They were the perfect blue color to go with the dress I plan on making. Shoot I was all excited until I just saw that it's gone...actually a lot of the Liv stuff is gone now from the TRU site. =_=;
ETA: This one (http://www.amazon.com/Livn-Life-Breakfast-Time-Accessories/dp/B003ZOP0QW/)

My 2 cents: On a pair of shoes, the "slippers" that come with the slumber party set are not that great. they go on, then flop off. Mainly bought it for the little MP3 player it comes with. XD
-
I want the breakfast set so badly! Its super adorable, and the shoes are great.
Is there anywhere that accurately lists all Liv items? I know of Shop Liv Dolls, but its missing stuff.
-
I've actually tried to search, but that site was the only place I could find that was an accurate list which I guess, they just stopped updating after the spa dolls or something. @,@;
Blah the only accessory set that's still left at TRU site is the roller skate set. And I'm really not into them. =_=;
And as for shoes, since the ones with no feet articulation have high heel positioned feet, I think the new dolls won't fit the old dolls much, maybe with some force, but I'm not too exactly sure. I had a little trouble with the boots Brite Katie came with. Got scared when I felt like I was gonna pull her foot right off. >,<;
-
That's very disappointing. D:
Augh, I need that set so badly! I wish they had it in stock at my TRU.
Oh man that's really disappointing. Ah well.
Does anyone know anything about getting these girls wet? I have a few ideas for some submerged shoots, but don't want to risk anyone.
Today my girls got two new outfits! :D I finally caved and opened my remaining two MIB Barbies, after looking up their incredibly pathetic completed eBay listing sale prices (hint: one didn't sell for 99 cents
twice). The outfits aren't anything I couldn't live without, but I really adore them and they're quite fun. As always I apologize for the super yellow photos.
Spoiler
The first doll I opened was Millennium Princess Teresa. She's actually a pretty doll herself, but her dress is gorgeous!

OMFG That dress is AMAZING!!! And it looks so perfect on Sophie. How many more unopened boxes of Barbies do you have left??
Iono why, but all of a sudden, I have this urge to wanna buy more Alexis dolls. One that is poseable as the rest (most likely gonna be MW Alexis) and Twist & Dance Alexis since I really like her wig and outfit. And the great thing is, I've found them both at a Ross so I am tempted to get them...*looks into her wallet*...but I only have enough money for one...Not to mention paying off for MW Katie & Daniela...shoot...*Sigh*
-
Just wait until I get the detail shots fixed up and posted! They're gorgeous!
And unfortunately, those were my last two. D: I desperately wish my mom had made me save more in the box! And I keep having childhood flashbacks to getting Barbie stuff after I stopped playing with them and being really sad. I got an awesome doughnut shop playset, but took it back! Dx
I do have one more Barbie, but she's opened. She was like the prize of my Barbies as a kid so I don't know if I want to remove her dress yet (the parts tied together haven't even been cut yet).
Alexis is the best Liv! Buy lots of her! ^w^ And I want all of the T&D outfits/heads, but I've heard their bodies are epic crap.
-
Their body is worst than the dolls that are out right now. No waist articulation, can't move their legs and arms any direction but up and down, and the "dancing" makes them look like their having a seizure or something. lol
I'm looking at the list of Alexis dolls and the only ones I'm liking is SO, T&D, WF and MW, the other's are kinda blah to me. Original Alexis is on the fence. So many more dolls to add to my list.
*Sigh* Not having money and watching my list grow sucks...=_=;
Oh wow look at that, we're on page 5!!
-
That sounds kind of amusing. XD
WF Alexis is absolutely beautiful. I want her so badly. My full wishlist is:
- Winter Formal Daniela
- Winter Formal Alexis
- Dolls with Dogs Alexis
- Roller Skating set
- All clothing I can get my hands on
Though I also want Hayden and her house if I somehow get $25 extra bucks, because her dress is adorable and the set + doll is well worth that to me.
I feel you there! I actually have around $40, and will soon have $60 and maybe in a bit $80. But I can't spend much of it because we keep flip-flopping from almost homeless to fine to just poor. Its driving me nuts, because we're flip-flopping so drastically and so randomly. I've got a big wishlist for Brave stuff, on top of Liv things. Dx
YAY! We talk a lot! :D
-
Eeep! I would hate to be in that kind of situation. I hope it doesn't get too bad. >,< :hug:
I saw the review on the house set with Hayden. Gorgeous dress but the house is even shorter than her!! It is a good deal, but the house is so small. XD Hmm it actually may be a good size for my Moxie Girlz.
-
Yesterday, I had Katie on the edge of my kitchen counter, just sitting there. I go to the fridge to grab me some food, and... BAM. I go over to where Katie was sitting, and find her on the floor... With one leg on, and the other across the floor. :sad: I glued it back on, and let it dry overnight. The leg can go from side to side, but it can't move up and down :C I don't want to replace her, because 1) I don't know what line she's from 2) She was my first Liv doll, and I don't replace things. I get really attached to just about everything, and... yeah. :\ So I think I might just get her a new body, which will be easy considering Liv's are on clearance everywhere.
Does anyone know anything about getting these girls wet? I have a few ideas for some submerged shoots, but don't want to risk anyone.
They can go in water :)
I don't know if it does any damage to them in the long run, but I doubt it.
Here's my wishlist:
- Katie It's My Nature clothing and accessories (I got the doll itself at a thrift store.)
- Katie Mad Hatter
- Alexis Making Waves
- Tech Girl Accessory Pack
- Movie Night fashion pack
- Girls Night out fashion pack
- Original Sophie
- Sophie with Fizzy
- Winter Formal katie
Mine is really long, but I just love all of them <3 Sadly, I probably won't be able to get these for a while, because I'm saving up for Pullip Froggy. (< The PullipStyle exclusive)
-
Oh no that's terrible what happened to Katie!! :hug: >,<; I think a rebody is best, but the new bodies aren't as articulate as the older ones.
I completely forgot about the water question, but so far, I haven't had any problem when I boil washed the wigs and de/re-headed Katie and Sophie so it should be fine to have them in water.
-

My Target always has really old stuff, so I'll be able to find the older ones :)
-
Thanks Luvly. <3 It wouldn't be this stressful if it didn't fluctuate so crazily! We'll literally be fine one day, and not be able to get food the next, and then a week later we'll be okay. That's by far the most stressful part.
Haha, I don't mind that its shorter for $25. For the normal $45 price, the set is a ripoff to me because of that. But for $25? Worth it for the doll alone! And house would make some fun photos, and would be a cute display.
If you show us a photo of her face, Jiggles, we could probably identify her so at least you know which one she is. :) Good luck getting her a new body! I once opened a MW Sophie and her leg tore off, and she was a very important doll to me despite being brand new, so I know how terrible that is. Luckily I was able to exchange her, but I want her swimsuit desperately. ):
And your wishlist isn't too bad! Remember I have 17 dolls. XD
Thanks for the input about the water guys! Unfortunately I realized I don't have any place I can take the water photos I wanted to. XP Oh well.

I went to my local Ollies discount store today and was surprised to see a bunch of LIV dolls. I'm not too knowledgeable about them but there were several sets of the girls with their dogs and a few without them. They had over a dozen dolls I'm sure. They also had a few Moxie Girls sets that came with like little heads? Not sure how to explain them lol.
Just thought I'd share my LIV spottings!

LIV EXPERTS!!!!!! *glomp*
Question for you: an all-black Liv wig?? Does it exist?
Also, I'm looking for Liv wigs - if any of y'all have any for sale, pleeeeeease LMK!!
-
This wig is black for sure.

LOL not sure but they did look a little smaller? I wasn't really paying attention to them.

Eee!! I come home only to find that we are suddenly on Page 6 now.XP Also I came home with MW Alexis!! And now they have MW Hayden now at Ross too! So now I don't have to pay full price for any more of the other MW dolls! (Except for Katie & Daniela) I just have to get her sometime this week.
I opened Alexis and she is GORGEOUS!! But wtf, her hand was tied with the elastic and now it looks like a tootsie roll formed into a hand. Would putting it in hot water help it get back into shape??
Just looking at her makes me wanna change something up. I bet she'd look gorgeous with blue eyes and a blonde wig. XD
As for the Moxie Girlz with the small heads, could this be what you're referring too?

How do you feel about MW Alexis's makeup? I tried to look up some photos of her, but the lighting varied wildly. In some she looked very dark so her lipstick looks awful to me, and in some she looked much lighter and the lipstick looked great. How does she actually look in person?
I'd definitely try hot water on her hand. I doubt it could get much worse, lol.
And its a new page, so we need a new photo! I really need a name for this girl with how much I photograph her. XP

I'll try the hot water now.
Gheeze, right as I was checking the face up to describe for you, I noticed a small, cut/indent looking thing on one of her eye lids. =_=; *Sigh* Now I'm just devastated about it. How do I cope with it?? I'm debating if I like the faceup on T&D Alexis, should I use her body for her head. Nvm I just saw it and theres so many bright colors in her makeup. @,@;
Her eye shadow looks nice I can't tell if it's blue or green and her lips are fine to me. If I had to compare, kinda like the color of Mad Science Lagoona's lipsstick.
-
Oh no, I'm so sorry! D: Could you possibly exchange her? I'm wary of MW dolls now, with "all" of the problems they've had (I've had two, leg breaking upon opening and a very stiff foot, plus your one). Not that that's anything compared to MH for example, haha.
That's very helpful, thanks. :)
-
Yeah, I thought they'd be good quality, my MW Sophie seemed perfect in every way I look at her. Hopefully Katie and Daniella aren't so bad. It isn't THAT noticeable when she has her swimsuit or any other clothes on. I'm still happy with her but just knowing there's a small ding there got me a little irritated. I want the MW dolls for their swims suits and possible body donors. So Hopefully the last 3 won't have any more flaws or anything. >,>;
ETA: lol at least we don't get any glue seepage or anything. XD
Also, The hot water worked wonders!!
-

Yeah, that set would be the Moxie Girlz Head Gamez set with Sophina, Monet & Amberly. They have interchangeable heads. I've been trying to find that set since it's old. Just need Amberly and that outfit but can't find it at a very low price. Over $20 >,>.
Back to topic. XP From the sets you described, it sounds like you hit the jackpot because the line with the dogs is pretty old. What area are you in, if you don't mind me asking?
-
Hi :biggrin: So, a year ago or something like that I really liked Livs and bought a couple of them, but I was still really into MH so I kind of forgot about them. But I fell out of love with MH and was looking for something else to collect, and my friend Taxel started raving about Livs, which prompted me to dig mine out. Not sure how many more I'll be getting, since the only place that carries them here is vastly overpriced and has very few pre-Twist and Dance girls (just Making Waves Alexis and It's My Nature Alexis), but I really love the ones I have and I finally was able to take some nice pictures of them today so here they are c:
-
@TuxAndTails (Love your avatar, BTW) Same thing happened to me. I saw Taxel's pretty pictures and then this thread came up - couldn't resist :3 Your pictures look great! Love them in Duece's stock!

I love that Alexis' skintone, it's so gorgeous <3
In dolly world, this photoshoot is like... a dream or a flash-forward or something because the character is not pregnant at the moment. In real world, I found my lost Barbie pregnant stomach and I wanted to try it out on a Liv xD This is also all one doll, I just gave her Sophie's wig halfway through because Hayden's hair sucks.

ermahgerd Were on page 7 now!! *So happy* and ERMAHGERD Came home with Making Waves Hayden this time today!!! Her face was right this time and I didn't get one with a bad face. I actually spotted the one with the bad face and made sure I didn't grab that one.
Ooo I love those shots with Mary! XP How many different shades does Alexis come in?? Hope it isn't too different between Alexis dolls. >,<;
OMG Tux I love your shots Too! The funny part is, a few days ago, me and Taxel were talking about having and trying to make a pregnant stomach for our Liv Dolls too!! XD

Congrats on the Hayden! :biggrin: I love the makeup for the Making Waves girls, most of it is really toned down and it looks great. I now regret just getting Daniella and Sophie and not grabbing the rest of the girls in the set while they were at Wal-Mart.
Thank you! Haha, I think that's like... one of those things every doll owner attempts at some point, making their doll look pregnant. I'm so lucky to have the Barbie stomach, I actually found it used!
-
Question for you Liv experts! Is Making Waves Jake the only male Liv doll, and are his two fashion packs the only male Liv accessories? (I just read his hair is rooted - sad face! I need a wig for a boy, haha.)
-
Yes, he's the only boy. I believe he only has the two fashion packs and the lifeguard accessory pack (comes with a male shirt).
-
Jake is the only boy in the line and I think those 2 fashion packs for him were the only ones. The Date fashion pack and life guard one I think.
Today almost was a bad day, I searched for the sailor suit at 1 target that had it since forever, but they didn't have it anymore!! So I grabbed an extra wig. (Blue with blonde) then I went to another Target and OMG Everything Liv related was super dirt cheap. Spa dolls for about $5 something while the Liv for color were about $3 something!!!, so I gotta get some money to get them!! Not only that...They also had the sailor suit there instead!!! I never saw it there before. Grabbed it in a heartbeat. XD
Thank you! Haha, I think that's like... one of those things every doll owner attempts at some point, making their doll look pregnant. I'm so lucky to have the Barbie stomach, I actually found it used!
lol I think that is so true. XD I remember at some point in the beginning of my MH Collecting, I wanted to get another Lagoona doll and try to make her look pregnant and probably made her based off one of my OC Ideas. I even was tempted to sculpt a tummy onto her. XD (once i do learn how.)
-
Omg, $5 and $3 Livs?!?! Did you find my heaven?! Gosh that's amazing.
-
Heck yeah! XD I am so tempted to get magic spa Sophie, but that's too many Sophies for me to get more. >,< I love that dress and wig though!!
-
I totally recommend the Spa dolls, especially for $5! They are incredibly fun.
-
You know what? I think I will. XP Gonna never have enough eyes or outfits. XD
-
Woooo! And then you can tell me how the Sophie is, because she's the only one I don't have. D:
-
True. lol
So far I'm liking this top, but for some reason I'm not liking the pants or shoes. @,@; Luckily I got it for $2.98 so it isn't THAT big of a loss. Need to make a MW outfit for this custom girl. XD
-
Does anyone know what shoes fit Liv feet, besides their own? :\ Gosh, why do all the dolls I collect have big feet?! XD
-
I've heard MH shoes fit them.
-
Jake is the only boy in the line and I think those 2 fashion packs for him were the only ones. The Date fashion pack and life guard one I think.
Today almost was a bad day, I searched for the sailor suit at 1 target that had it since forever, but they didn't have it anymore!! So I grabbed an extra wig. (Blue with blonde) then I went to another Target and OMG Everything Liv related was super dirt cheap. Spa dolls for about $5 something while the Liv for color were about $3 something!!!, so I gotta get some money to get them!! Not only that...They also had the sailor suit there instead!!! I never saw it there before. Grabbed it in a heartbeat. XD
Thank you! Haha, I think that's like... one of those things every doll owner attempts at some point, making their doll look pregnant. I'm so lucky to have the Barbie stomach, I actually found it used!
lol I think that is so true. XD I remember at some point in the beginning of my MH Collecting, I wanted to get another Lagoona doll and try to make her look pregnant and probably made her based off one of my OC Ideas. I even was tempted to sculpt a tummy onto her. XD (once i do learn how.)
Oh wow I envy you so much XD I'm so desperate to find Liv on clearance, even if they were just the Liv for Color dolls; their wigs would probably be fun. But the only place that still carries them never has sales xP Though that might change, they have a million Twist and Dance dolls and I don't think those are great sellers or anything.
Congrats on the sailor suit!
I actually want to see a MH doll with some kind of pregnant stomach. With their super arched backs, that would be the funniest silhouette.
Does anyone know what shoes fit Liv feet, besides their own? :\ Gosh, why do all the dolls I collect have big feet?! XD
MH shoes fit great, but they have to have sides or straps or something. Like wave 1 Lagoona's sandal heels can't be worn by Liv at all, but wave 1 Frankie and DotD Lagoona shoes fit perfectly, they don't fall off at all. And DotD Lala's shoes fit, if you put an elastic over the foot and under the shoe. There's probably more but I don't own the shoes to check xD Boots also don't fit, I don't think.
Also, new page, new pictures :biggrin: I took these ones after it had started getting dark so they're a bit grainy, but whatever, haha. Hayden and her (Barbie) horse. And her bunny.

lol since now that it's been mentioned, I bet someone will see this post and "steal" the idea now or something. >,< XD Gah Now I'm tempted to get another Mad Science Lagoona to open and go through with my original plan.
I want more liv outfits for my girls! I hope Barbie has some fashionable swimsuit or something to use.
-
God you guys I just want to take this stupid Liv and break her in every way possible because I can't hurt the $500 doll. I wish I still had the broken MW Sophie to destroy right now. >.<
NEVER try to rebody a doll if you're doll stupid in this sense and too poor to buy supplies. Today has been nothing but extreme stress, extreme frustration, and me extremely hating my dolls. I've been trying to get my Blythe on a Liv body so she doesn't just sit around being neglected, and both girls have fought me every step of the way and 90% of what people/Google are telling me simply doesn't work the way they say it does.
At least I'm getting some new Livs and wigs soon so I'll have some happy doll stuff. XP
-
Oh god that sounds terrible.
If it helps with the Liv head, what I did was after getting the hot water, I left them head down in the water and after the head got really squishy, I pushed the head in a little a little and then I tried to slowly maneuver it off.
-
This may just be the frustration talking, but I don't even want to look at the Blythe anymore. Their bodies are absolutely AWFUL, and if I can't rebody her (which it seems I can't) she's not worth keeping.
The icing on the cake? This doll that cost $500 is worth $100ish according to eBay, which could be completely wrong. She was a gift so it wasn't my money at all, but that just hurts. I could have gotten an actual BJD instead. If she actually sells I'll be able to get a major grail doll and maybe some Liv clothes, but god seeing that price was so crushing.
My Liv head was ridiculously squishy, but it wouldn't budge. She's a MW doll so I was even more terrified to use force, but I did pull at her head pretty well. It didn't move at all.
-
I can't explain too well what I did but when it got really squishy, I pinched at the neck hole to slightly stretch the hole for the head anchor to come out.
I'm actually looking forward to getting Magic spa Sophie now, but it's the color changing I'm a bit worried about. I'll never know till I try. XD
So far I'm thinking of a Sophie/Katie with brown eyes, Alexis with blue eyes and blonde hair. I can't think of any more mixes I'd like. Loving my Sophie with blue and green eyes but I wish there were more eye colors. XP I'd love it if they had a girl with red eyes or something. Have like an evil Frienemy of the group. lol
-
Why are you worried about it? That's the best part. xD
Ooooh, I love those ideas! Alexis with blue eyes would be stunning.
Maybe it would be possible to use BJD eyes with them? If you found the right size and cut them down, or took out the Liv eye mech and put the eyes in like you would a BJD.
-
Just the temperature that causes the makeup to change and what would happen if she was dipped into steamy hot water concerns me. Although the gimmick does sound intriguing. lol
Most likely I'll be grabbing a the Spa Sophie and grab a Color Daniela and swap some of the eyes around.
I haven't gotten that much in BJDs and I don't think I'll want to. >,<
-
Ahhh. I wouldn't put one in hot water, but I could experiment on Alexis's wig. Its atrocious. Speaking of, does anyone know how wig caps react to boiling water? I need to boil tame a wig (I don't care if it goes straight or stays curly or what, its an absolute nightmare right now), but pouring the water over it would be easier than dipping it.
That'd be cool. :3
Makes sense. And who knows how eye putty would react to Liv heads. Positioning the eyes is HARD too! I have a. . .I don't know if he's a BJD or what, but I have a doll with eyes like that. When I first got him my friends and I played with him and I messed with his eyes. I don't know if its just the eye putty he came with and/or if I was using it wrong (like maybe you need to add water? idk) but it was hard to work with. My poor boy has wonky eyes now. Though he does need a full eye replacement (they're horrible quality), so I guess I could test that process out in a Liv maybe. If I can ever get him new eyes. XP
-
All the wigs I have I've boiled them and they were fine (Except for the recent few since I was just too lazy). Hot water straight from the kettle right from the stove and I haven't had any trouble. Only thing I see a little troublesome is if you boil it and it isn't straight and it cools down before combing, it'll stay that shape. You'll have to do it over again. Most of them before I poured hot water had indents in the hair where the elastic holding it used to be and after a after pouring, OMG They looked amazing!! No dents or anything, looked just like on the box & Photos! X3
Sorry if you already know the usual process you won't have to pay attention if you already know. XD
I have them in a seated pose and grab them by the legs and pour the water over their head getting all of it wet, then comb right away to straighten it out while it's still hot (be careful not to burn yourself) once it cools it should be straight.
as for the eye positioning, on Livs it isn't that hard from what I've seen & done first hand. the back of the eyes have a peg that go into the indents inside their eye sockets so it won't be wonky.
-
I've never been brave enough to try it before, so I appreciate all the tips I can get. xD I need to boil Prudence's hair (Spa Daniela), since I left her in my doll bag too long and now it has an indent. Hopefully it doesn't harm Alexis's wig and I can fix her's.
I plan to hold the wig up with tongs while someone pours the water. xD Using a kettle is a great idea.
From what I've seen most BJDs don't have anything like that, which can be handy for purposely wacky eyes and trouble for those that shouldn't be wacky.
-
Sorry you couldn't get your dolls to cooperate :( You can always obitsu her.
-
Ever since I was a kid, I've been obsessed with plastic animals. It did not matter where they came from, I loved them xD I'm a bit more selective now, but I still have tons of them and today I decided to take a handful from two of my larger collections and see how they looked with Liv, since my girls need some pets. Here are some results from my experimenting!

Aww! That's super duper cute 83 I personally love the bulldog the best!
-
I saw the photos on dA earlier, and they're great! I also love that bulldog.
But now I am dying to get MW Daniela!!!
-
Aww! That's super duper cute 83 I personally love the bulldog the best!
Thanks <3 Yeah, he's my favorite too. He's the perfect size for Liv, he doesn't look too big or small in comparison to them.
I saw the photos on dA earlier, and they're great! I also love that bulldog.
But now I am dying to get MW Daniela!!!
Thanks as well! ^^
She really is gorgeous, she's my favorite of my girls. It took me awhile to adjust to her, but I have so much fun with her now that I have! I need to find another wig for her, though >.< Her bangs are always parting weirdly, haha.
-
Oo those shots are amazing!! I love that turtle! XD
*Sigh* I didn't go to the target that had the Spa dolls, but I went to the other one I usually go to all the time, and they actually restocked new stuff. Saw the Novi stars, La Dee Das, Cutie Pops and I am not interested in any of those. >,> But I'm worried now that if they cleared out that one, it's possible they did it to the one that did have the Spa Dolls. What do stores usually do to toys that are on clearance that don't sell anymore??? I hope it isn't too late. >,<
I also saw these new Bratz, that came with....AN EXTRA WIG!!! So I'm guessing Bratz Dolls are now gonna carry liv-like wigs now? Dunno if that's good or bad.
Also blah, I ended up using some of my doll money too. DX<
-
I have no idea. Maybe call the other Target and see if they still have Liv stuff? I'd assume they leave it out until it sells, and maybe make it cheaper if needed? I have no idea though, as I've never worked at a store.
I'll most likely be listing my Blythe up for sale tomorrow, so that should give me some doll money. If she sells. XP
Bratz with wigs? Wut? I must know more.
-
next time i go to that target, I'll probably take shots of them or something and post it here. I'm sure the MH CAM owners would go psycho over them. lol XD
Tomorrow (or later today since it's past 12am. XP), I'm gonna go check for Spa Sophie and hopefully they have her. @,@;
*Sigh* I hate having to wait a little longer to be able to pay off MW Katie and Daniela, I should be making them my top priority! But OMG this is like a Once in a lifetime deal with the Spa dolls. @,@; I hate it when 2 once in a lifetime opportunities appear and one has to be taken longer than the other to finish. >,<;
-
I feel you about the once in a lifetime deals!!! I keep seeing them for Livs (even though that doesn't truly make them once in a lifetime, but I'm sure you understand). Its so depressing/frustrating to know that even if we're totally okay one week, if I dare to spend $10 on an amazing deal we'd probably be near homeless the next week and I'd get yelled at for spending the $10.
But if my Blythe does sell, no one is telling me how to spend that money. I'd already be loosing out on $400 of her purchase price, and if I sell my one and only Blythe I'm buying a Byul and some Liv stuff. I don't care if it means I can only eat Ramen if I do so. XP
-
Hell yeah, I understand what you mean. Like one of those: "Get-it-now-or-you-know-it'll-be-too-late-when-you-change-your-mind-and-you'll-be-kicking-yourself-HARD-over-it" situations. >,<
Rice goes well with anything as a filler. XD I've grown up eating rice with almost all kinds of foods. Even Doritos, Funions and all sorts of other kinds of chips. XP But Rice with Soy sauce and scrambled eggs always did it for me, simple, satisfying and filling. XP
-
Yep! And I kick myself every time I'm dumb enough to look at Amazon or something. I'm still dying over Hayden's House. $25 is such an amazing price!
I used to live off of rice and noodles (but that was a neglect issue, not a money issue). Unfortunately the kind of rice my boyfriend's mom buys doesn't sit as well with my stomach, and I can't put parmesan cheese on it. And I have to put a ridiculous amount of butter on it. XP But Ramen's alright, and cereal is okay too.
-
I'm hoping you can get that set, and hopefully the price drops down even more. Are you planning on buying it in-store or through the TRU site??
It also comes down to what type of rice it is. XP Thai Jasmine Rice is basically the rice we grew up on and I'm used to having it with most Asian foods, I've never tried parmesan cheese or butter on it. Maybe I could give it a try. XD We've also started getting Long Grain rice recently and I am not that big a fan of it. You'd think that just because they look kinda the same, they would be, but dear lord no. Jasmine rice is more moist and will always be the rice I'll always prefer. lol how did we get from talking about Liv Dolls to rice??
I am crossing my fingers that I actually do find Spa Sophie and Color Daniela and hopefully a spare brown wig tomorrow! >,< *Crosses her fingers*
-
I want to buy it in store. The TRU here has like 4 or 5 of them, and then I'd be able to double check for any errors on Hayden.
I grew up with Minute White Rice, and I think his mom buys Uncle Ben's white rice? They're very very different.
Living on rice means more Liv dolls! xD
Best of luck! <3
-
Gah so much emotion!!!! :sad: :cloud: :yikes: :dumbpc: :enraged: I went to target this morning and when I went to find the Spa livs, ALL THE CLEARANCE TOY SHELVES WERE WIPED CLEAN!!!! visitors can't see pics , please register or login
I just wanna drop the F bomb so badly right now but I don't wanna be too loud and let everyone in the house hear. >,<; There were so many of the Spa Liv dolls left too! Where could they have all gone?! *Stomps her feet* I really liked Sophie's dress too...TT,TT;
Well, best to be happy with what I got. *Sigh* I'm gonna paint settings for them to share with my Moxie Girlz.
-
Hi:) Monster High collector in the thread :P On my last shopping trip I bought a few LIVs because they were cheaper than dirt. I was gonna just steal the wigs, maybe some clothes, and sell the rest (please don't hate me :lookround:) but now I'm torn.
I'm loving the face-ups, but the bodies....ugh! I was wondering if someone had a picture of what is keeping the LIV heads on their bodies. I can't pull off the head, and I don't want to break them.
Do the doll heads look alright on any other doll body? Something cheap?
Maybe I'll just keep the heads, and sell the rest. I don't know. I obviously need some help:)
-
What kind of bodies did they have?? Were there any articulations in the wrist, elbows, feet and waist?? If not, those are the terrible bodies that were released this year. >,<;
I was actually able to behead a few of them, but don't have a good camera. I'll try to take shots anyway and post it.
-
I guess you could get Obitsus for them. The well jointed Liv bodies are the cheapest, I believe. Not sure if you got bad bodies or just dislike the good ones.
-
I got bad bodies:( They are the Target exclusive Brites. No wonder they were so cheap. I feel SO badly for the people who actually payed the $20+ for them.
I was thinking something alittle more old-school, like bratz bodies, or.......I'm not sure :huh: The double jointed knees creep me out. Sorry:( A Bratz/LIV hybrid would be awesome! I wonder if that would work.
-
Ahhh, that makes sense. At least the Brites have pretty decent outfits. Definitely not worth $20 though.
Haha, I can't say I blame you! The knees were literally the thing that kept me from getting into them sooner, and they're still a little freaky sometimes. Anyways, I've seen Bratz heads on Liv bodies, so I'd guess you could do it the other way around even if you had to do a little modding or something.
-
I remember seeing someone who did that and posted it somewhere on the arena. I am kinda tempted to stupidly put a Moxie Girlz head onto the bad Liv body. XP

Haha! I'd love to see a Moxie Girl on a Liv body. Might tempt me to try and put my True Hope Avery on a Liv body once I'm finally able to get her, so she isn't just a display doll.
And thanks for those photos! Definitely handy.
-
Hmmmm.....
That doesn't look so bad. I wonder why they are being so stubborn? Time to pull out the heating pad I guess.
Taxel: It makes me feel better that there's a possiblity I can swap out the bodies. If I use Bratz bodies, in theory, my MH and LIV doll could share clothes:)
If this works out I'll have some stock for sale. Except for Alexis's. She's the reason I picked up the set. The orange/blue combo is awesome.
-
I couldn't get a Liv head off yesterday with decent force despite her head being incredibly hot and squishy. Drove me nuts.
Oh man, don't tempt me with that stock! Its the only reason I have any interest in those dolls. xD
-
HOpefully that give SOME sort of help. XP I've seen a MG/Liv mix once on flckr, but the head was kinda out of proportion for the body. Seemed to small for the body or something.
Still irritated that they just disappeared from the clearance shelves...>,<; Maybe I should ask them where they put them all...TT,TT
-
Man, I cannot imagine how devastating that must have been. I probably would've cried out of anger/frustration. xD It couldn't hurt to give them a call and ask about it.
-
Well when the time comes to sell off the stock, I'll come here and give you all first dibs:) That won't be for awhile though. Gotta buy a baity Bratz and see what I can do with them. Do you think there would be ANY interest in these garbage-y bodies?
Yes, thank you for the photos Luvly. It always helps to see what your dealing with. The trouble these girls are giving me, you'd think there was barbs, and hooks, and who knows what else up in there:)
-
Glad it helped. XP I ook ther eyes out. One to put into a Sophie so she now she has 1 blue eye and one green eye. XD
-
Well, if it'll be a while maybe I can afford them. xD
I doubt anyone would be interested in the bodies, but it can't hurt to put them up for a while in case.
Speaking of eye changing, I'm thinking of swapping eyes between an Alexis (Spa) and Hayden (MW).
-
Once the head is off, the eyes are easy to pop out, getting them back in is a little tricky but works. XP
-
grzankitter, I'm sorry that you ended up with some of the girls with bad bodies! I really wish they had waited just one more line to start using those, I love the Alexis from that line. I saw someone put her wig/dress on a wave 1 Sophie and it looked gorgeous, I want to get Brites Alexis and W1 Sophie just to recreate that XD I also like the Katie from that line, but I've never actually seen out of box pics of her :/
Some pics I took earlier today. Going on vacation for a week next Friday and I don't know if I'll even be able to take these girls along, much less take pictures, so I'm trying to take a few every day until then and hopefully that will tide me over for the week, haha. The lighting has just been so nice and I'm having lots of fun with them (sorry about all of the stray hairs, I had my ceiling fan on and when I tried turning it off I almost melted from the heat xP)

OMG the lighting works so well with your shots. XD
Dang right about now I am having trouble which sophie to use to have the eye mix. MW Sophie has dark brown eyebrows so that's the one I'm using now so it matches the brown wig but Original Sophie has the bluest eyes of all sophies ever released but doesn't have that dark of a color for eyebrows. I was gonna give the mix to a Katie if I ever got one, but the Brites Katie has purple lips and dark purple scalp not digging it. Then I was gonna give it to MW Daniella, but your shots make her look so great I can't take hers out. Arrge it's so hard to decide!! @,@; and it's even more hard when I don't have any other dolls to take their eyes and I can't find any more since they're taking them off the shelves!! *panics*

Thanks XD Yeah, I'm really lucky in that respect; the only park around here has three playparks, including a waterpark, so there's tons and tons of people and there's barely anywhere to take pictures. And I live in an apartment, so no yard. So my only source of natural light is my window, which is working out surprisingly well!
I'm sorry your having trouble D: I think your eye switching is really cool, though, if I ever hit a jackpot of Livs on clearance I'd definitely try that. There's some really neat combinations you could get; I actually really want a It's My Nature Katie with brown eyes, she looks a lot like me (same hair color, and most of her outfit is super close to stuff I wear), but her eye color is all wrong.
I'm also sorry my pictures are causing you problems, lol! MW Daniela really is a beautiful doll, though, I love sifting through my Barbie clothes and finding new stuff for her to wear. I have this beautiful pink and black lace mini dress, and I tried it on her and it looks awesome. She'll probably be wearing it in tomorrow's pictures xD
-
I've printed the item page of the Spa Liv dolls as well as the store locator and I'm going tomorrow again and I am hoping I can make it to them before it is too late or I am going to flip my frekken lid!! >o<;
I wish I could go through all the barbie fashion packs and get ones I really like.
So far digging this as well as the other packs like these. Next time there's a Barbie BOGO, I'll grab these. XD

Good luck, I hope you can find what your looking for! It's so weird how all the dolls just disappeared like that o.O
Haha, yeah, I love Barbie stuff. I've found my Daniela looks really nice in pink, so pretty much Barbie's entire wardrobe looks good on her xD I like that fashion pack, the jacket and the shirt/shorts in the middle are really cute c:
Edit: That dress is also awesome, I want it XD
-
I wish there were more sports uniforms that aren't so...pink with barbie. =_=; I wanted the Martial Artist Gi, but theres pink in it too. >,>;
If All goes well with the print of the item and list of stores and DCPI, I'll hopefully get me Spa Sophie, if not, I'll just get that dress instead or something. lol.,.unless they have EVERY Other outfit BUT That dress. Then that's just rubbing salt into my wound...
-
Yeah, I totally get that. I'm fine with most of her dresses being pink/purple, it's kind of annoying but I don't mind, but sports uniforms? Having them be pink is just kind of weird. At least make them red or blue or something.
-
That dress is awesome! I will definatly get it once I find it here! :D
The thing I hate about Barbie is how I find something that is absolutely perfect, design, colors, everything... And then they slap "BARBIE :D" on the front. :C
And the Ken clothes are ridiculous! (Or atleast the ones we have here) He only 2 fashion packs: an ugly sweater and jeans combination, and this plaid hot pink tux thing. I'm getting a Tae in a few weeks, and I don't think either of those will make it into his wardrobe. ._.
-
Thanks everyone:) I'm not too upset about the terrible bodies on my girls. They were so cheap, I got my money's worth out of it. I don't collect LIVs so having 3 girls laying around with different body types would bother me. I had planned to sell them, but their faces are just too pretty. I got hooked. I've never had a doll with glass (?) eyes before. If I can re-body them onto Bratz, that would make my day:) I'd love to have ALL my dolls share clothes. I don't want to start separating clothes by doll type. I've got too much as it is:)
Anyway if this works out for me, it's win win for everyone. New clothes for you guys, and I can do some Bratz shopping:) Always loved their clothes, never their heads. Gah! I'm so excited. My poor husband. He had no idea he married a 5 year old:)

Tell me how that works out! And if it does, pictures of after the "operation" would be awesome! ^_^
-
Well, it's gonna be awhile, for sure:) I've got to find just the right doll on ebay (with some clothes I've been lusting for included, naturally :lol:) and then beg my husband to buy it for me:) We are gonna be MEGA POOR soon, so I'll have to step up my begging skillz:)
I'll make sure to keep you all in mind when I've got a handle on this.
-
I hope it all works out! I'd also would like to see photos of her after the operation. XD
Post Merge: July 29, 2012, 04:10:36 PM
Breaking the rules, double posting, and I Dun care!! XD
So I went back to Target and asked where the clearance toys went, they moved them to another aisle, so I went to it, saw the Liv Brites and Gasped when I was excited to look for them! BUT I only saw 1 box of the spa dolls left, *Gasp* I was Sooo hoping it was Sophie!!....*sigh* it was just Alexis. I looked throughout that aisle throwing stuff onto the floor and over the other shelves neatly, and didn't find her. So I gave up and walked around, then suddenly I saw some toys in another section, looked like someone changed their minds and left it there, but anywho, then I saw a glimpse of a box that look familiar! I was all like "Can it be?!" and grabbed that box then disappointed again, it was Daniela. Then I was all like "*sigh* Eff it" and bought her. XP I was then debating about buying Spa Sophie at Fred Meyer, then return Daniela afterwards, but I'm used to her now. I'll open her later though. XP
-
It sucks that you weren't able to get the girl you had your heart set on, but it's good that your trip wasn't totally in vain c: Congrats on the Daniela!
-
I'ts fine though, I've warmed up to her after opening her!. XD
I am having too much fun playing the color changing makeup.
Good news! I boiled her head and took her eyes out and replaced them with the blue and green and she looks amazing!! Not only that, after boiling her, I put her into cold water and her makeup still works perfectly!! Issue now is that her skin tone is Darker than my Moxie Girlz Lexa. I wanted to make them Sisters/Cousins or something like that. lol XP
-
@LuvlyMelody Yay! I think they could still be sisters! :D
-
*Sigh* I ended up switching them back again. XP Daniela is back to normal and MW Sophie has the mixed eyes. I think I'll wait till I have more duplicates of each girl before I completely change in over. but I definitely will be needing a katie for the mix eyes.
This time and the 2nd I noticed it was getting harder to get the eyes back in. @,@;
-
I don't wanna seem rude and you guys can ignore my post if you like.
I've got a few girls for sale if anyone is intrested.
-
Sale ads are totally welcome. :)
Do you have photos?
-
Glad not to offend too.
I made a post here.
http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,304119.0.html
-
We won't ignore. XP
I'm looking at them right now and they look like the first release of Sohie & Katie. Are you by any chance selling the wigs seperately??
-
I might if I don't have any interest in the dolls.
I like them but with my Pullips I just don't have the room. That and my Hubby would not be happy if I started another collection.
-
If Katie (Brown hair with green eyes) has her wig slot like the first head on this photo, I might be interested!

Just lost a lot of Barbie babies on eBay. It had like 3 or 4 white babies, two tan maybe?, and one black (plus other non-jointed ones). It only went for $19. I'm sad now. D:
But I did order a cheap fakie baby so I can have a stand-in for photos.
-
I've been shopping for Bratz dolls for two-ish days now, and I just can't find one I like at a cheap enough (i.e. experimental) price. I guess I'm spoiled by the MH bodies. Long, lean, flexible, clean looking joints, and LOTS of 'em:)
Just for fun, I popped a LIV head on MH CAM, and it doesn't look half bad. I kinda like it. Alot:)
So I've ditched my Bratz/LIV hybrid idea, and I'm gonna focus on a MH/LIV hybrid.
That may be bad news for some of you who were looking forward to the Bratz/LIV doll, but I have good news too! I'm ready to get rid of most of the stock that came with the LIV dolls:)
PM me if you'd like details. Or would you rather me yuck up your thread with them?
-
Oooh, I'd love to see photos of a Liv/MH hybrid! That's such a neat idea.
The PM system is such a pain, so I vote for you posting it. xD
-
@Taxel Damn that's very aggravating >,<; :hug:
Gah Seeing your Pregnant Livs made me wanna experiment and I took photos with my crappy phone cam. X3 Gonna find her a nicer dress/outfit. These are just test shots so when I DO Borrow a better camera, I'll retake the shots with the same pose and hopefully a better outfit and most likely better quality. XP
I used 2 cotton balls for the tummy this time, one unrolled and wrapped around the other.

@grzankitter I don't mind you guys posting it here. XD

Well, it is your thread, Taxel:)
I should probably state I've never sold anything before. This will be a learning experience for me, so bear with me, please:)
I'll be 'selling' the 3 bodies of the Brites dolls. If anyone is interested in them, you can have them for the cost of shipping (whatever that is)
I'll be selling Sophie's dress, purse, shoes, and sunglasses. Katie's dress, vest, shoes, and purse. Alexis' purse and shoes. If you want any of the free gifts that came with the dolls, just ask. Those will be free as well.
I'd REALLY prefer to sell in bulk, but I suppose I could sell little bits too.
I was thinking $8 for the whole lot. I figured $2 per dress, $1 for a pair of shoes, .50 per purse/sunglasses. Does that sound fair?
Anyway, please someone pick up the lot, so I don't have to bother with pieces *beg*
I haven't really got the hang of posting photos yet. Maybe I'll bug my hubby to help me tomorrow? I'd like to show off a bit:)
-
If Katie (Brown hair with green eyes) has her wig slot like the first head on this photo, I might be interested!

She has the smaller hole.

Wow! That was quick! Looks like I have a buyer:)

She has the smaller hole.
Hmmm...Very tempting...I'll PM you when I come back from an errand I'm about to go do.

Hmmm...Very tempting...I'll PM you when I come back from an errand I'm about to go do.
Awesome! Just let me know.
Its almost bed time here. So if I don't see it tonight I will get to it in the morning.
-
Awww, I missed the stock it seems. D:
-
I'm not a big fan of MH bodies, I have tons of girls with super loose knees/elbows and I always feel like they're going to fall apart at the seams xD A Liv/MH hybrid does sound super cool, though, I'd love to see how that works out! c:
Also, the cotton balls make a great pregnant stomach, Luvly! ^^
-
I'm SO SO SO SO sorry Taxel! I didn't think it would go that quick:(
The garbage-y bodies are still available :haha:
I really do feel badly, though. If I could, I'd buy a whole other set, just to sell the stock to you :hug:
-
Neither did I! So its my fault I went to watch TV.
That's very sweet. <3 The thought still means a lot!
-
Also, the cotton balls make a great pregnant stomach, Luvly! ^^
Hee hee thanks. XP They do work great, although I kinda wanted to make her belly slightly bigger but I didn't want to force the outfit. I plan on making a pillow that goes from one side of the waist to the other with an elastic that goes around the back so it's easy to put on and take off. I also plan to go get some fabric and make maternity dresses but I'm just so broke to get fabric and when I do get money, I end up spending it on Liv stuff.
So far, I need to find the ideal outfit for her, or her "Signature" Looks. XP Also need to make her that pregnant stomach pillow, and a Name for her...Hmmm...
Would it be weird if I named her after me??
-
I don't think its too strange to name a doll after yourself. Maybe if you give them like a detailed character or something that isn't you it might be odd. But my Blythe is named Sakura, after my persona, and she gives me the excuse of buying her whatever clothing/accessories I want because I like them. I don't have to worry about them fitting her character or not.
-
Hmmm I'll see if I can come up with an awesome name. If I can't come up with a great name for her I'll most likely name her after me or something. XD
lol after seeing the photos of your SO Alexis and talking about making a pregnant stomach pillow for my Liv dolls in your other thread, I actually wanted this girl to also be pregnant forever but thought some people would find that weird. However!! Since you've done it with Molly, Nadia, and Mary. Now I actually feel comfortable and confident doing so with mine. :hug: Thanks!
Speaking of which, I'm still melting with awe over this shot. :P
-
On the subject of names, I think I need to have a Beatles marathon tomorrow and tackle more names. XD
If people don't like it they can buy us Barbie babies! Haha. Molly and Nadia both will have multiple kids anyways, so I can play it off like "This is kid 1" and "But this is kid 2" etc. Though where I'm going to get nice non-baby kids for them, I have no idea. >.< Probably Jun Planning Ai dolls (like Suishou from that thread) or like mini Pullip heads on 11cm Obitsus. I wish so badly Spinmaster expanded the doll line to include babies and kids, or at least kids. Little siblings with at least half as much articulation would be beyond amazing.
But yeah, I'm sure it'll creep some people out or whatever if its mentioned, but the key is that it doesn't ever have to be if you don't want to. I only mentioned it because I would give so much to at least have a few nice babies for them, and complete families would be a dream come true. But unfortunately, a single baby is the price of a brand new Liv doll (or double - triple!), and that's usually naked. :/ Ai dolls are like $80ish, I dunno, Suishou was $110 I think. And a Pullip head on an 11cm Obitsu would be like $50-60, possibly naked.
Oh man I cannot wait to be able to edit that shot! I absolutely love it too. <3 And thanks! :D
-
lol well, I wish us both good luck to finding names. XD
I am so looking forward to spoiling her with all kinds of maternity dresses, outfits and accessories. She'll be so cute, maternal bliss!! :P
@,@; Just for the babies, holy wow that is expensive. If that's the case, I'm glad mine won't be having hers anytime soon. lol
That shot'll always be my top favorite.
-
Same here! I think most of mine are still nameless. XP
Augh man, you're getting me all excited to get maternity/baby stuff for my girls! There are soooo many epic Barbie baby accessories.
Yep. D: It would be cheaper to get one of the brand new sets we were looking at from Amazon to get two babies and some accessories. I need to look them up and get a better look at their faces, because some of the newer Barbie babies I saw on Amazon are pretty freaky and wouldn't fit with Livs very well at all. XP I wish I could customize so I could just grab a handful of the $3 + free shipping fakie babies and give them better faceups and some painted hair. That would be perfect, actually, and soooo much cheaper.
Awwww. <333 Thanks hun.
-
Just for fun, here's a pic of one I've customized. I have a handful of liv dolls, all second hand, so I only have 3 wigs for 7 dolls...lol. This one was having several issues, so decided to mess with her. Rerooted with yarn, then brushed out, like a perfume puff, then some of her makeup removed and repainted, plus added more eyeliner/shadow. Random barbie dress...=]

I have an extra Beach Katie and all three of the Brites dolls. I might be willing to trade one of them for a Daniella since I need brown eyes.
-
Does anyone know anything about the Girls Getaway line? I just found out about them, and can't find them for sale online. The Sophie is gorgeous and I LOVE the Daniela.

OMGOSH! Those dolls are gorgeous - and those outfits! *faints*
I've never seen them, heard of them, or found them in any of my stores... ? O.o
-
Darn you, Taxel! Now I want that Alexis. Why are you doing this to me?
-
I heard about them on the Toy Box Philosopher blog today, she said they never showed up in the US or just in Maine. I barely found any photos of Flickr, and most are in box. I think one of their owners is Spanish, one is from the US, and one is from Bulgaria. I've never heard anything about them before, and can't find *anything* on them.
grzankitter - Because I'm the Evil Liv Temptress. Its my job. xD
-
Ermagah What?! I've never seen those before!!! I NEED
THAT SOPHIE AND ALEXIS'S ALL THEIR DRESSES! NAO!!! Omg they look so pretty!!
It's funny how I got you into it and now you're getting others more into it! You're even leading me away from MH to here! XD
Before this thread I had 4, now I have like...7?? lol o gheeze
-
Luvly! You better still be here. I need your help before I rip my hair out. I decided to swap my spare MW Hayden's eyes with Spa Alexis's eyes. I managed to get their heads off and get the eyes out, but I CANNOT get them back in. Every tutorial I've found is a load of crap, and only really shows how to remove them or that you have to cut open their heads (and Alexis is wigless so >.<). Halp me. D: The eyes will only go in sideways, so their "eye" is completely white. Its driving me insane.
-
Ok ok, hopefully I can help.
After the eyes are popped out, it'll help if you have hot water with you.
Soak the head in hot water to get it squishy again.
Then try to pinch the upper and bottom eye lids and try to put it in again. if that doesn't work, try it from the sides of each eye socket.
If that doesn't work from the back of the head, push in to try to widen the eye holes and put it back in.
If you can get it in half way or with it being white, use like a chopstick or the back of a pen to try to maneuver it into place, with the peg and the hold in the back of the eye socket, it should be able to try to get back into position.
-
Man I never want to do that again. XP
My first victim was Spa Makeover Alexis.

Tell me about it, it takes so much work to get those eyes in and out. lol so that's what the inside of the liv head looks like.
It looks like the eye colors reverse, from brown into green to green into brown. They look perfect! Now they can be like, evil twins or something. XD
-
It wasn't too hard once I did the sideways thing, except for those damn long pegs! I should've taken a photo. Inserted sideways, the peg + eye took up the entire socket. But all of the repeated tossing them in hot water and fishing them out hurt. My poor fingers.
That's half the reason I wanted to do it. XD
-
lol oh geeze I hated burning my fingers getting those out of the water. After doing it so many times, I realized that using the end of a pen without the ink thing inside works so much better with getting the eyes out and getting them out of the water too.
Hopefully we'll get to see some great shots of them. X3
While looking around in my closet, I completely forgot I had this set (http://www.amazon.com/Liv-Schools-Out-Doll-Playset/dp/B004BA2CN8/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1343799158&sr=1-2&keywords=Liv+Alexis+with+Fashion+Window) sitting there!! I remember having it but forgot having it in my closet. XP I didn't wanna open it yet till I found space to store the stuff she came with. While looking at the display window and mannequin that she came with, that's when I realized: I am gonna make my custom Liv girl open up a Maternity Fashion Boutique. XD
-
My thumb looks so terrible. xD I didn't really want to stick anything I was using into the water.
I'm hoping to take some in my window tomorrow. But knowing my luck we'll sleep in too late again or clouds will block the best sun time, lol.
Lucky!!! That set looks really neat. And that's an epic idea!
-
Yay! I got to take some photos last night! But I did actually miss the sun because I was forced out for ages. >.<
I had some fun with my floating head (I'm trying to fix the bangs, hence the rubberbands).

Then we took a peek into Nadia's past! In "present time", she's probably got 2-3 kids. I'm still working on character stuff pretty heavily. The graduation photos are from college, not high school. And the "sexy lingerie" photos aren't because she's an exotic dancer or whatever, its her stock and it works will for maternity shots. xD
And my original Katie and Sophie just arrived, so expect more photos later!

And I just won a white Barbie baby (normal size, not newborn) with a dress and matching carrier thingy! I'm so happy. 8D
-
I went shopping today, and it was my first time out after all the stores reset their aisles. I didn't know how much I'd miss these girls:( I always browsed the LIVs after being disapointed by the lack of MH on the shelves. Now what?
I happened across one Breakfast Time accessory pack today. I picked it up for whomever was looking for it (was that you, Taxel?) I realize it might not be worth it to ship, so I'm prepared to return it to the store. I just thought I'd grab it anyway. I also saw 3 Spa girls today at Target, they were regular price though:( I thought they had done their reset but they still had 2 shelf tags for full priced LIVs??????
-
D: That's so depressing to hear! Now I want to check out TRU and such even more. I may be taking back my boxed blind bag set and getting either Hayden's House or True Hope Avery, depending on what they give me for it.
I'm interested in that set, yes. Not sure if anyone else is? How much would it be total? It might be worth the shipping, after I check TRU. :) I know some Livs aren't marked down, which is weird. At TRU (last time I was there, at least) they were all full price except for Hayden's House ($25, usually $45), the spa playset (no idea), and accessory packs ($.98 from $5, no longer BOGO). The Spa, Making Waves, and Twist and Dance dolls were all full price. But we'll see what's changed when I go back, hopefully tomorrow?
-
The pack itself was 98 cents. I just sent an item for $3 with tracking, so I'd assume this would be about the same price. I think I'd charge $4 with tracking to get it to you. $3 if we skip the tracking. I hope you find one. It makes me sad when shipping is 3 to 4 times the cost of the actual item:(
If you shop the TRUs by me, you'd be surprised to hear LIVs were discontinued. You'd never know it, the way the shelves look. No clearances at all, either.
-
Dang I wanted the breakfast set. XP Mostly for the shoes. but first come first serves I guess. If you find anymore, do pick it up! (Just in case. XP)
Eee Amazing shots!! I actually took several (A LOT) shots last night with my crappy phone cam (as a just in case if the thread went to the 2nd page of no return while I was gone) so maybe if I try to "edit" them I'll post them here...All 35+ of them.
Also, TAXEL!! Go check out your Fred Meyers!! I was there today, and the liv for color and spa dolls are on clearance!! If mine have theirs on clearance, yours should too!! I'll be able to get my Spa Sophie after all!! (which I would've gotten today but ended up spending money on a MH Classroom Frankie who was also on Clearance instead XD =_=;)
Another thing, for some reason today, I suddenly felt the urge to wanna get the sleepover Sophie or Daniela and rehead them onto a regular body...iono why that is...
-
$3 sounds very reasonable. If I don't find one tomorrow I'll take it if you can hold it for a bit (I need a package to arrive), or you can sell it to Luvly. Either is fine. :)
Wow, that's so strange! They never did free accessory packs with any Liv purchase? The one here did and their accessories were cleaned out by the time I found out about it. But they did unfortunately stop that, though at least they kept them at $.98!
Thanks! <3 And heck yeah! Post all 35+ shots! :D Our spam will rival all of the pic spam threads!
WOO! I'll see if I can swing by Fred Meyer tomorrow, if for nothing more than a peek. Can't hurt to see if they have anything left, after all.
Because we have twin Liv-brains jesus christ. All of last night I was wondering if I could rebody Nadia, and make my floating MW Hayden head into the karate chopping ninja instead. I don't know if its possible, and I simple can't take the risk with Nadia. She's too special to me.
ALSO! No one told me original Sophie has freaking AMAZING eyes!!! I just about died when I saw them. They don't look like cracked glass/ice, they look like blue eyes. Jude (my redhead) will be getting those eyes, O Sophie will be getting O Katie's eyes, and O Katie will be getting MW Sophie eyes from Jude. I know I said I never want to swap eyes again (and I don't), but I have to. Those eyes are soooo close to perfect for Jude, and O Sophie will be staying a blonde and I'm sick of having blue eyed blondes. I have three already. xD
-
Hello just popping in to share the Liv love :lovey:
Got a couple outfits on clearance at Target and now the Livs I found at the thrift store have nice clothes! I must take pictures soon but I don't have a nice place to take pictures :cry:
Also on the subject of names here is a website that is the best place to find names for anything!
Here: http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/names.htm (http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/names.htm)

-
Ugh! It seems I can't do anything right in this thread! I'm SO sorry, Luvly :blush: I knew someone was lusting for that pack, and I thought it was Taxel! *sigh* I think I'll go back and look and see if they have another (unless Taxel finds one *crosses fingers*) I'm not familiar with what accessory were ever available but this TRU has a crap-ton:) Since I'll be going back to make rights right with Luvly, is there anything else you guys wanted me to look for before LIVs are wiped off the face of the Earth? :cry:
-
Aw, don't feel bad! I wasn't lusting after it but I did really want it, and I mentioned that. But Luvly and I drool after so many Liv-related things its hard to keep it all straight! Hahaha.
If you find a roller skating set, get it for me. If you find one with white roller skates, dear god you will make my dreams come true and also buy two. XD
Dragonsummoner - Hey! Its nice to see a new face in Livland. I don't really have anywhere nice to take photos, so I'm generally forced to either use my windowsill or use a small table with a T-shirt covering the table design and a lamp for lighting. They work out alright. :) Though I do desperately miss having a yard I can use! Especially since the two I've had were decently versatile.
-
It's fine, I didn't expect anyone to remember me wanting it. XP
They did the free accessory set when you buy a new doll or playset deal at the TRUs I go to.
omg I'm actually taking more photos right now. XD What'll be more crazy is, if I get to borrow a camera...I'll be tempted to do those shots again!! XD
It may be possible, but at the time risky because of the hinges the eyes rotate one. >,<; thinking about it now, it may be very hard/impossible next to a possible chance of messing up the eyes.
Yeah, the eyes on original Sophie is the best eyes of all!! I ended up taking her eyes in place of the other blue of my custom. lol so she has very blue very green eyes. Out of curiosity, who did you buy them from??
I thought of having a Katie head with brown eyes instead of green; A brunette with brown eyes! Now I'll really need to find spare bodies and eyes. XP
-
They had a BUNCH of skating ones but I think they were all pink (?) I'll keep my eyes open:)
You guys keep saying you need extra bodies. Are you buying obitsus? I still have those 3 Brites bodies. They are slowly making their way to the garbage can. Anyone want them? I know they are garbage, but I feel terrible pitching them:(
-
I am too cheap to buy obitsus. (I also don't know much about them.) and as for the bad bodies, I do not like them at all one bit, but I also kinda feel bad if I just tossed them so I'll be holding onto it until I do find a purpose for it. I might take out the anchor, spraypaint it white or silver or whatever and make it into a mannequin.
-
Yeah! I meant to offer mine for your maternity clothing store, earlier but I got distracted by something, it seems:) You've probably got enough already though:)
-
Yeah, I don't want to risk Nadia with it. It kind of looks like her head is two pieces, so maybe you could separate them? Her head is pretty hard though, so who knows what'll work.
I can't get over how amazing original Sophie's eyes are! Hopefully her wig finishes drying soon so I can take some more stock photos before I swap her eyes. I cannot wait to get them into Jude's head!
I got them here: http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,303549.0.html
They're very close to new, some messy hair but you really can't avoid that shipping them. They still had a lot of plastic death spears connecting their clothing. The only problem is Katie's brown and green wig has a factory error. It is VERY sparsely rooted, missing like 3 lines of hair at least.
I love the idea of making bad bodies into mannequins! I'm not getting Obitsus for my Livs, its not worth it to me. You could probably just have a bunch of floating heads and one good Liv body actually and just switch the heads as desired. My floating Liv head is going onto a Blythe body, if I can ever open my Blythe's head and give her the Liv body I have set aside. I tried to put the head on a Barbie body, but I broke it trying to get the Barbie head off. XP
-
o ok, cause for a moment, when you mentioned Original Sophie & Katie I completely forgot I was supposed to PM SwordPony about that Katie and I thought you bought them instead. Now that I remember, I'll PM her now and see if she can hold her for me until I get money...*Shakes fist at being broke* What color is her pixie cut? the same as all the other Katies??
I actually never thought of that until you mentioned it! Right in front of me and I didn't even notice it. Making mannequins for the boutique! XD It'll be a while before I can make it happen. @,@ Gotta buy a cardboard box to make the backdrop but again...need money. *Shakes fist again.*
-
I'm pretty sure its the same. I didn't compare it, but its brown. I can take a photo later if you want.
The boutique is gonna be so awesome when you're finally able to put it together! I can't wait until I'm able to put together a dollhouse for my girls.
-
I'll take your word and assume it's the same as all the rest. XP
Oh geeze, yesterday's pictures + today's makes 59 total. So either I can upload them all at once in a post or split them. @,@;
or....TAKE MORE SHOTS!
-
Original Sophie's pixie cut is more yellow, while MW is more blonde looking. I guess similar might be true for Katie.
TAKE MOAR SHOTS! 8D
Right now I have four girls being tortured in the bathroom sink by Deuce, the sick twisted Liv-hater. He's boiling their heads and then plans to cut off their heads and pop out their eyes. -cough-
And yes the photos are hilarious. To me at least. xD
-
They're mostly shots of my pregnant, still nameless girl custom. XD

I have heard of people using Fashionistas to replace the stiff Livs but you really need to heat the heads before you pull them off. I have learned that it is a very bad idea to not heat any doll head before you try to remove it.
-
Aw that's adorable! I really need that outfit for the same purpose. xD
That's a great suggestion, Wardah. Thanks! I didn't even think of them because I try and stay far away from Barbies, but that would probably work pretty well. From what I recall their bodies are decent, and they should fit Liv clothes just fine.
In other news, I'm about to throw this crappy hairdryer out a window. Its dying, and turn off after 10-15 seconds. Barely heats a newer head, and requires a lot of force and cursing to get the head off. But the originals have much harder heads, I can barely pinch them slightly. They need to be REALLY hot and chilling out in super hot water is doing basically nothing but turning them into fountains. This is also why I can't get my hair wet in the shower. >.<
-
I love that outfit so much compared to the other outfits I have. I even added the belt from Daniela's Spa makeover outfit. It matches the outfit so well!. XD
I've actually never seen any of the Fashionistas or paid any attention to them to see their details. How are their bodies, compared to Liv dolls?
How hot is the water that you're using? Are you using hot water from the stove? I use water from the water dispenser which is close enough and it made my original Sophie's head as squishy as the other heads to get the eyes out.
-
I've admired it from afar for a while, but now you confirmed that I need it! xD
This (http://www.toyboxphilosopher.com/2012/02/by-request-mattels-barbie-fashionista.html) is the best I can find. :3
From the sink. Its too hot out to actually boil water, and if I did that I'd be able to touch them even less. I was able to get Lucy's new eyes in as well as get Katie fixed up, but I still cannot get Sophie's head off. Its driving me insane.
-
Eeep I don't think tap water is hot enough. >,<
One thing I also discovered while taking heads off, If you put a ziplock bag or something like that over their head, dip and keep it in hot water it has the same effect, but without the water fountaining out of her ears and wig slot.
Wow, that was one of the dresses I was debating to get but I've never seen it in the Barbie aisle. XD
-
Well its all I've got, sadly. If we actually owned a working hairdryer, it wouldn't be a problem. I could just reheat as much as needed.
Thanks for the tip! But I don't think we own any, and I gave up on the water. It was just an amusing torture device.
Haha! That's a funny coincidence.
-
Hopefully that hair drying starts working again instead of having to spend potential Liv money on a new one. lol If it does work out, maybe a hairdryer is a better alternative. XP
Hopefully some barbie buy one get one sale comes up this week somewhere. XD I sooo want that beach fashion pack and the sports fashion pack.
-
I FINALLY got Sophie's head off. It took a LOT of force, and I was 100% sure the peg would snap. But somehow it didn't, and I got her eyes out. When giving her new eyes, I tore a small rip in her upper eyelid. But somehow her makeup is still completely perfect. The strength of her thin neck holding device has given me a ton of respect for Spinmaster.
However I'm so sore and worn out (my fingers, wrists, and legs are killing me) that none of them get new photos until tomorrow. XP
-
Oh geeze I've been too scared to to risk breaking that little neck holding anchor thing. Also, that sounds painful for her eyelid to have a small rip now. >,<; Even though her makeup is still perfect, is that little tear still noticeable??
It's pretty sunny over here, so hopefully it'll be the same for you to take amazing shots of the new girls. XP
-
Just got back from TRU. Went there to spend a dollar on a LIV accessory pack for Taxel, and wound up spending $130 :huh: I found some MHs that weren't there yesterday:) Anyway, Taxel, I could only find the purple skates pack. No white:( and no extra Breakfast one, Luvly:( I did see a bowling one that was cute though. It had the coolest black and pink sneekers. I'm surprised you didn't ask for that one, but that's probably cuz you guys already have it:) I'll keep looking for more accessory packs. I've still got two more TRUs up my sleeve:)
-
I got to the point with Sophie where I didn't care if her neck snapped, I just wanted her eyes no matter what it took. The tear is noticeable up close, but its very small so its hard to see. I'll post a photo of it with my huge picspam later.
Thanks so much grzankitter! Its sucks they only has purple, but that's better than nothing. The bowling pack is adorable, but I so shouldn't spend a ton of money. xD We'll see what happens at TRU today or tomorrow.
Edit: I am so sorry, but I won't be able to take the breakfast or roller skating set. I was made to believe we're doing fine financially (we spent $50 at the movies yesterday for example), but apparently we're on the edge of homelessness again and my boyfriend's mom plans to shut off our internet in two weeks.
-
Ugh I completely forgot about the bowling set! *head desk* I'll be honest, when I got into Livs, I've never found any accessory sets in store, so I'd love to get ANY of the accessory packs if they still exist XD The only ones I ever gotten was the sleepover set and that was only through online and so overpaid for them for just shipping...=_=;
OMG Taxel I hope everything works out in the end and you guys are able to make ends meet. >,<; :hug:
-
I'm sorry for your troubles Taxel:( I hope this is a just one of those low points you've mentioned in the past. Don't worry about the items. I really am sorry:(
-
Thanks guys. <3 This time it just feels so much worse because it came out of literally nowhere. I was told we were being helped to pay rent and bills until we could all find jobs, and we've been buying groceries normally (not cutting back at all, and we actually have added a few more "regular" things) and my boyfriend even traded in some video games to buy another one. We were given $50 to waste at the movies. There were no signs that it was this bad again, and that's by far the worst part.
I feel terrible for wasting money on things, like the Barbie baby, but apparently I was kept in the dark. ):
But I have a distraction, so I'm gonna use it! I've got a ton of photos from yesterday/today, so I'll be making three separate posts for them all. First up we have the still-fully-stock photos of original Sophie and Katie. Includes some doll nudity with body comparisons.
Spoiler
First, body comparison shots! The original body has a different waist piece than the others. Not sure how many lines use the original type body, but I've never seen it before.

The glasses were still attached to her long wig, and it was a little sad to take them off of it because it looked so cute.

It seemed like you guys were blindsided and no one knew what was going to happen. >,<; At least you'll be able to take a lot of photos during your hiatus and once you come back, you'll have a bunch to share! I wish there was a way I could help.

You need a camera, right? Buy my old one! xDDD Kidding, kidding.
I don't really feel like posting all of the photos I took, so here are the after shots of the eye switches.

WOW! Jude is SHOCKING beautiful like that! Those eyes and that hair color! Just WOW! I want her :lol: What doll is in the last photo on the right? Is she an Alexis? She looks darker than mine:(
-
Thank you! I'm sooo thrilled with her. Those bright blue eyes look amazing. Now Jude and Lucy are as close to how they should look as they can get.
And yep, that's Alexis, Spa Makeover version. Some of them are darker than others. I know Red Queen and Spa Makeover are the same skintone, but After School Cool is lighter. The light skintone is very pretty, but the darker brown is absolutely gorgeous.
Oh! And since it was asked about, a close-up of original Sophie's eyelid tear and two after face shots. You can see the tear just slightly (it looks to me more like she's missing a tiny bit of makeup there), but its not really noticeable. I had to look for it in the last two photos to really see anything.

Yeah. No one would notice unless you pointed it out. I was looking for it in the last set of pictures and couldn't find it. She still looks fab:)
-
Damn your camera make's her eyes SUPER blue and that rip isn't THAT Noticeable.
I'm liking the eye mix with Sophie's eyes with Hayden's eyes. XD
I'll separate my photos into different parts too, so we don't lag up the thread loading or anything.
Some of them are the same poses but at different angles, debating if I should post them all anyway. visitors can't see pics , please register or login
-
I found a second wave Daniella still in her box at the thrift store for only $7!
-
HOly ****, super lucky!! Any pics or plans for her after you take her eyes??
-
Haha thanks Luvly! I realized I wanted some dual eyed girls myself, but wasn't sure how to accomplish it with the whole Liv eyes deal. Which is why they became twins. xD I also wanted to get more relationships of all kinds going with my Liv girls, and they're all the same size/face sculpt so siblings is really all that makes sense to me unless I got like Obitsus for some.
And the thread shouldn't lag too badly as long as we use spoilers, and maybe break up the spoilers into multiple in the same post when posting tons of photos. :3
I vote post all the ones you're happy with and want to show off! When I do huge shoots I always end up with a ton of photos I want to edit and share. Most that survive the editing cut (around half just get deleted in Photoshop, haha) end up on my website and not posted on the Arena, but now that we have our own thread I do and will continue to post a lot more.
Wardah, that's so awesome!
-
Not sure yet but she will be going into my Liv stash. It is good to at least have some extra bodies on hand.
-
This actually took a lot of time going through and removing close to duplicates. XP
Some of them are the same poses, but taken at a different angle, so yeah, sorry for any boring duplicates. XD
1st group of shots: Bed Time.

Reading her book. Made it by printing the front and back cover and the pages of content.

-
Luvly, I love your pictures! <3 The second set with Avery are so cute, I'm totally going to make my Moxie dolls Liv cousins/little sisters or something like that now xD
I'm on vacation now so I can't take any pictures >.< Well, theoretically I could but I have itty bitty windows in this room so there isn't much light. I did bring my Liv girls, though, I managed to pack them in my laptop bag. I even was able to keep their wigs nice xD They don't mind the lapse in photography, though, I brought their cellphones so they're busy tweeting or something.
-
Oh my gosh! What are you using for a belly? It looks so perfect!
All of the shots are awesome. I especially love the ones with Lexa, but now you've tempted me to get a Moxie Girl. xD
-
Thanks for the complements! I actually had fun taking them. Even though I had a low end camera. XP
It's too bad you can't take and Liv photos at the moment Tux, but hopefully once you're back from vacation. We'll look forward to seeing more shots! Also hope you have a wonderful Vacation!
As for the belly, I ended up using cotton balls, one wasn't unraveled but the rest were and wrapped around it and one of them i also wrapped it at the top to make it look oval/teardrop-shaped so it gets that natural look and looks like a natural pregnant belly, instead of making it look like she swallowed a watermelon or a beach ball or something. XD I think I used about 5 of them, but a part of me wants to add maybe a few more. :P
As for Moxie Girlz, their faces are so cute and adorable, but when it comes to articulation and quality, no articulations in the elbows, knees or hands so it's hard to pose them I had trouble keeping Lexa's hand on her belly. Knees do have "articulation", but they have that Barbie "snap" to it and they have removable peglegged feet which can get easily lost if not properly taken care of. Their legs and arms are rubber, so sometimes it's really REALLY Hard to change outfits. I had trouble with putting Lexa's outfit back on it took so much longer than it needed to be for those shot. =_=;
-
I've been working on my hybrids today:) I have a couple of packages in the mail that I'm waiting on to do a photo shoot (then I gotta figure out how to get them from point A to point B) and I'll be ready to post.
I modified the one LIV dress I kept yesterday. Turned it into 2 pieces and 'took it in' a bit to fit my MH bodies:) It turned out so great! I can't wait to show you guys :biggrin: The one piece doubles as a skirt or a dress, but the dress is more of a babydoll that pulls away from her tummy. Would be perfect for a bun-in-the-oven dress. Fighting the urge! :lol:
-
Well, today's trip to TRU was basically a giant waste. :/
I got $11 for my blind bag TRU set and I was pissed. The True Hope dolls are $15, and Hayden's House is $25. My boyfriend just rolled his eyes at me, and he kept insisting last night that they'd only give me $5 or $10 for it. He got angry at me for being disappointed and bummed. I was not happy with him, especially since he knows exactly how much I want a True Hope doll. >.<
I got to see Novi Stars and La Dee Da, which I was happy about. I checked out the Barbie aisle for clothes and didn't find anything that stood out. They had the lifeguard, travel, and this (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HMQZDC?tag=liv-dolls-content-20) accessory pack. But the Filly Princess parent and baby packs were there!!! The babies are super small, and look like they'd make perfect ponies for Livs. I want to get a few sets ASAP. I looooove collecting toys for my dolls. xD
-
Ooo I look forward to seeing the hybrid and see how they go! I'd also love to see the modified outfit too.
It's too bad that TRU run was a bad run Taxel. >,< :hug: I still haven't made gone to TRU ever since I put MW Katie and Daniela on Layway...Speaking of which, i gotta get them paid off soon, really need them. XP
-
Hey guys! I decided to go through and reread some old Toy Box Philosopher posts, and found a much cheaper alternative to act as Liv little siblings/kids!
Only Hearts Club Li'l Kids (http://shop.onlyheartsclub.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.5499/.f), and they're only $8.99! They have poseable stuffed bodies, and their clothing/shoes can't be removed, but they don't have painted on eyes and are super adorable. The cloth bodies also look like part of their clothing, which I think makes them look okay. The TBP post with them in it is here (http://www.toyboxphilosopher.com/2012/01/joanne-callanders-resin-fidget-and-her.html).

BAAAWWWWW! I ruined the eyes. Teaches me not to try and use superglue to hold them in place. I managed to pull them out but the eyes look like they have cataracts now. Oh well I guess I better keep my eyes open for another Daniella.
-
I LOVE my hybrids!:) I received one of the two packages I'm waiting on. The second one has the rest of their bodies, so that one is kinda important ;) The one I received today had clothing, so they are dressed (well the ones I CAN dress :lol:)
I wish I could find the LIV in color dolls, now that I like them. I saw a few last week but I think they were still full price. I'd like to get a good look at the lot. After modding this dress, I'd like to try to mod more. Plus, I love the colorful wigs:) Think I'll go stalk Amazon now.......
-
Hopefully, you'll find another Daniela again. >,<; :hug: At least the next time, you won't make the same mistake.
Can't wait to see the final products once you get the 2nd package, grzankitter!!
Eee after having her in her box so long, I decided to free SO Alexis from her box with her display window! While experimenting around with the "Scarves" she came with. I came to a complete stop and frekken lost it when I realized I came up with a perfect signature outfit!!
I ended up taking another 60 shots so after combing with a fine tooth comb, I'll post them here again. XP
Also, hopefully by the time I do post these shots, I'll finally have a name for my unamed girl lol. XD
-
Yay more photos! :D I have a few good ones to post still, but keep forgetting. XP
And don't feel bad about one nameless girl. 7 out of my 18 are still unnamed, and that's only counting Livs. I have 4 others also unnamed (some owned for years), and at least 1 that needs a rename. >.<
Me + names = lolfail
My newborn fakie should be here within a few days, and the eBay estimate thing says my Barbie baby should get here tomorrow. It was shipped yesterday, so I really doubt that. I cannot wait for them to arrive. I have so many ideas!
-
Oo I can't wait to see your new shots. Also, I hope the little babies arrive home safely. Will Nadia be having the baby? XP
Here they are! New photos!
SO Alexis still in partial of her box.

Yep, it'll be Nadia. :3 Some of the others girls will probably pose with the babies, but their skin is too light for Mary and Molly.
Those awkward box legs, omg. What is up with the people who design how the dolls will be packaged? xD
Oh wow, that outfit looks so awesome! The vest adds the perfect touch.
-
You're right. That IS a perfect signature outfit. It's wonderful. I especially love the belt:)
Couldn't you fold under the bottom of the dress and put a few stitches in it? Or is there something I'm missing? :huh: I'm no seamstress by any means :lol:
-
It's perfect - I seriously can't even notice the fraying on the dress, even when you point it out.
So yesterday I was at my friends house, dressing her Liv Dolls, and I noticed Outdoor Alexis.
One word: NEEEEEEEEEEEED. Oh my gosh, her makeup is so pretty and natural! In the promo photos (or whatever they're called) it's all saturated, but in RL it's gorgeous. I need her so much D:
-
I didn't realize how much I liked these girls until I bought a few and customized them the way I wanted. I didn't like the bodies their heads came on, so I put them on some MHs. The bodies aren't the selling point for me. For me it's the eyes:) They are my first dolls with inset eyes, and wow! Now I'd like a few more, I think. I have the Brites line, now I'd like the LIV in Color line. I enjoy color, alot. The basic boring colors you see everyday (blonde, brunette and whatnot) don't do a thing for me. I just wish I realized this BEFORE they discontinued the line:( Of course, the reason I finally caved was because they were practically giving 'em away. Crossing my fingers I find something this weekend :biggrin:
-
:grouphug: Thanks for the compliments everyone. All I ended up doing was folding the bottom up to the inside. I would've folded the bottom up inside and do a stitch around, but my machine is too big for it to stretch around and it's too small to be maneuvered around. That and I kinda don't like to alter stock items. @,@ As long as I don't snagg onto it anymore, I should be fine.
Jiggles, if you ever do find one for yourself, you should take pics and share!!
grzankitter, I hope you do find the Liv for Color dolls. If you have a Kroger branch store that has toys, you can try and look around there, they're on clearance right now from what I saw. (Liv For Color and Spa Makeover)
Shoot I'm so sad right now, I just ruined my Original Sophie. >,<
She's the one on the right. I wanted to drill a hole as deep as the other Sophie on the left so the wigs would fit better. Without it the wigs made her look like she had a big forhead and the wig wouldn't stay put and swirl around. When I drilled, I grabbed the right size drill bit and I did do it right, but then the whole thing caved in when the whole drill bit went into her head. As it turns out, the original heads are hollower than the others. @,@; She was my first Liv Doll to open and now my first Liv Doll to ruin. TT,TT; It shouldn't be a big deal, but still, Ugh she kinda had sentimental value. Gotta be more careful with my Liv Dolls. >,<;
-
grzankitter - A love of inset eyes is dangerous. xD Most of my dolly wishlist wouldn't exist if they didn't have inset eyes. Its a slipperly slope, but an awesome one.
Oh no Luvly, I'm so sorry! That's just terrible. Can you salvage her?
-
I ended up popping out her eyes, as for her body, OMG it's such a perfect body, when you move any of the limbs, they don't do that random click movement, super smooth movement, so I gave her body to my custom one. XD Some miscoloring but I'll probably get used to it...Hopefully...
It's sad that Sophie had to perish. TT,TT BUT At least that'll be a good reason to get me the Spa Makeover Sophie to replace her. But I kinda feel bad like I can imagine her saying: "You're replacing me...? TToTT"
-
That's too bad. ): At least you could use her body and eyes. :)
Speaking of, is anyone interested in trading Livs? My original Katie just isn't working for me at all. She will not come with any clothing, accessories, or eyes. She might come with a wig if I'm interested in one you're offering in exchange, and of course if you like one I have available. If you're offering a bad bodied girl it would only be her head. Nothing is wrong with her as far as I can recall, but I'll look closer if anyone wants her obviously. I just can't work with her eye makeup.
I'm looking for a more "natural" looking girl. Spa Sophie would be perfect. The new girl will be taking Katie's place as original Sophie's twin sister. :3
(Although if it is Spa Sophie, I'd love to work something out for her wig to replace Wonderland Sophie's.)
She's the brown haired girl below.

-
Went shopping after work today. I hit up another one of my TRUs and they had a few Breakfast Time packs so I now I have two:) I know you said you couldn't buy anything for awhile, Taxel, but I think I'll just hold onto yours for you. The dollar I invested in it isn't going to break me :lol: Same goes for the Purple Skating set.
That means I have a Breakfast Time set for you too, Luvly:) Plus the Bowling Set you were interested in. Couldn't find any fashions:(
No pressure to buy ladies ;) Just wanted to help out where I can. If either of you decide you NEVER want them, I can always return them, no harm done.
BTW that Purple Skating set is on Amazon for $20!!!!!!! The 2 TRUs I've been to in the past week each has at least 10 of them. For 98 cents a piece.
-
Aw thank you! Maybe I'll be able to buy them soon, since things are looking up. <3
The online prices for some Liv things is insane. Either insanely low, or insanely high. On TRU the skating set was 98 cents, plus $5 shipping. I was like nope!
-
I might be interested! Do you think you can get a closer shot of her faceup? My 'It's My Nature' Sophie has a natural looking face, her lip is natural colored, her eye shadow is a brown/light orange. the only issue with her is that her right ear, I think the machine that's supposed to pierce their ears missed a few times, there are small indents/drill holes in that ear around the actual hole, but there is one definite piercing hole that's accurate. I'm sure an earring will cover it.
-
I can definitely get more/better photos tomorrow. :) I'll have to think about Its My Nature Sophie though. Her lips are gorgeous but I don't know if the eyeshadow will work quite yet. XP
-
Found 80% of the LIV for color girls:) If anyone sees Alexis, would you mind picking her up for me? The completionist in me will not allow me to own 4 out of 5 :lol: Must have 'em all!
On a side note, it looks like my Target will continue to sell the Spa girls and Alice in Wonderland girls. Weird.
Have you guys checked your TRUs lately for the accessory packs? All 3 of my TRUs have piles of 'em. I find it hard to believe only my stores have restocked them. Maybe you could find them locally. Save yourself some money in shipping......
-
I'm so glad you were able to find the Liv for Color dolls, grzankitter! I barely dodged the bullet finding my Color Daniela, she was the last one too. >,>; If I were you, I say grab any of the dolls with articulation that are still available (as long as they're on clearance); just to be able to experience how amazing their articulation was before they all disappear. Hopefully you'll find Alexis. I would love to have the wig she comes with if I found her.
As for the accessory sets, the TRUs I frequent are completely dried out of Liv Accessoriy packs. Oh how envious I am of how yours still has a lot. lol
Shoot, so yesterday I sold my text book for school and got $60 out of it! I was so excited to buy some more Liv stuff and possibly finish paying off MW Katie and Daniela, but here's the ironic part. >,>; The whole time I've been taking a break from MH was supposed to save up for Venus & Robecca, I had no intention of searching for them yet until the end of August, but I went to kohl's and I saw them both. I ended up splurging my Liv money (practically my whole $60 and a little more money I had) on the both of them and they were slightly overpriced by $15 so that's just rubbing salt into the wound...=_=; So Liv purchases will have to wait a little more, BUT!! I'm caught up on MH (for now) so I'll be concentrated on Livs some more! Small setback for now but yay more time for Liv stuff now. XD
Also, I went to Fred Meyer to see if they still had the Spa Dolls and the Liv for Color. I panicked when I saw that they were gone!! Without freaking out I searched and saw they moved them to the 'clearance' section but there were so little left. >,<; I still had $20 from before, so I debated if I should get Spa Sophie and Color Daniela or pay off MW Daniela and Katie. >,< MW Katie and Daniela were already on hold under my name, and they were clearing out the Livs out fast at Fred Meyer so I just grabbed those 2 instead.

Here they are! New photos!

I was just about to ask who this girl was, I have her with no wig,earrings or trousers for trade if anyone is interested, bugging the heck out of me trying to find out who she is!
-
Yeah, I lucked out:) There was only one of each girl left. I cleaned them out :lol: Congrats on finding your MH girls! I just found them too:)
I NEVER shop at Kohl's for toys. I've been told by people who work there, that everything is marked up like crazy so that they can put everything "on sale." That way the customer THINKS they are getting a deal :huh: Plus, they send their customers coupons constantly in the mail, so they have to mark up for that too! The only time to buy is when you've got a coupon, and they are having a storewide sale. Then you MAY come out even. My in-laws are super Kohl's shoppers (they hoard those coupons they get in the mail) so I think I'm going to ask them to look for the MH Kohl's exclusives for me.
Luvly, did you see my last post on page 18? About how I found a couple accessory packs for you?
-
I saw! Thank you for finding them! :hug: but yeah, I am never gonna buy toys from Kohl's again. >,>; I saw they had the travel ponies a long while back and they were going for like $9.99 I was like "Eff that", that's practically double what they charge for retail, but these were 2 MH dolls that I may never have the chance to get again and had to have, so I had to take the opportunity I had!! XD
I'm glad my photo was able to help you figure out who she was Pinkamena. Do you by any chance have any other Liv dolls for trade?
-

Thank you again, was driving me nuts lol :)
Sorry she's the only one I have at the mo, if I find any more I will pick them up though.

@Taxel I would probably trade with you, but I already have her :c
I go to kohls all the time, but the toy selection is horrible here, so even if the prices weren't super inflated, I wouldn't be able to get anything. All they have is toddler stuff... But maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
-
Oh wow, thanks for the closer pics! I'll try to get some shots of IMN Sophie when I get the chance this weekend, then we can compare.
By the way, did you finally get the newborn fakies from the mail yet Taxel?? I would love to see pictures of Nadia with her new baby! lol XD
-
Would any of ya'll be interested in my rooted It's My Nature Daniela? I tripped over her all day while I was reorganizing my MH ^^; Just figured i'd drop the question here before she disappears into the recesses of my closet
-
The thought is still appreciated, Jiggles. :)
And on the subject of Kohl's, I've gone to the one here once. Looking for a Sundance shirt, that of course we couldn't find. Very frustrating and sad trip. XP
You're welcome Luvly! I didn't even realize her makeup was chipped (its very hard to see it in real life), so I'm glad I took them.
And nope. :/ The fakie and the real one are scheduled to arrive on Monday (as is Merida! YAY!). I am NOT happy with the Barbie baby seller and I'm very eager to know when they actually shipped it (I won and paid on the 2nd). But once they finally do arrive, I'll be dragging my boyfriend to the park ASAP. I have some really fun ideas.
Semi off topic, but I was able to get True Hope Avery yesterday. Moxie Girlz clothing fits Blythes, so once I rebody my Blythe onto the Liv body and put my floating Liv head on the Blythe body that'll be fun. I can't wait to finally get my reobdies done.
And Ravie, I might be! Do you have any photos?

There she is. I used kanekalon which it what the wigs are made out of.
-
Ooooh, she's gorgeous! What do you want for her? I might be able to offer an MH doll or something.
-
That would be great :D
I actually think i have all her clothes too i just have look up what all belongs to her if you want them. Theyre mixed up in my pullip bag...s
As for the mh...i have a list in the mhbst section. Pretty sure its up to date. May not have taken dt2 clawdeen off yet.
-
Holy crap Ravie, she looks amazing! Especially with long hair, she looks sooo Stunning! I didn't know that their hair is Kanekalon, I actually think the hair on Livs are amazing. After a good boil wash, they don't fold or dent or anything.
Hopefully you'll get the both of them at once Taxel, instead of having to wait for 2 different packages. lol if you think about it, the mail carrier is basically like the stork bringing Nadia her newborn babies. XD Can't wait to see the pictures, as well as the head transplant between Avery, your floating Hayden head and your Blythe doll.
-
Aw, sadly the one I have isn't on your list. GB Draculaura. I've also got MLP stuff. How much would you want in cash if none of that interests you? :3
I really hope so! But even if just one arrived Monday I could live with it, since we wouldn't be able to go to the park on Monday anyways. But if the fakie arrives first I'm gonna be angry. Its coming from China and its being faster. >.<
-
Thanks luvly :)
Taxel - hmm tough call. She was an experiment so not full price of the root *thinkthinksfallsasleepwakesupthinksmore* $22 shipped nude. $25 with clothes (unless ryllis' boots are part of it. You cant have those)
Will hafta discuss more tomorrow. I need -some- sleep ^^
-
Darn, that's out of my price range. I'm sure you'll be able to sell her pretty easily though.
In other news, my Barbie baby arrived today! I've only tested her out with Nadia a little (waiting for better lighting), but so far she looks wonderful. And even with Nadia's bad arm, she can hold the baby pretty well. The fakie newborn is still scheduled for Monday arrival.
-
lol wow, that was faster than expected. XD Eeeee Can't wait to see the photos!!
Here's a little game we can play.
What's the difference between this photo...

So basically my friend let me borrow his camera again. He said he was getting a new camera and said that I could have this one, but ONLY If I passed my final. Big surprise but OMG Now I have so much at stake with this me passing or failing summer quarter thing. If I pass it I get to keep Venus, Robecca, Color Daniela, Spa Makeover Sophie and this used/new camera, if I fail it, I gotta return all of it. @,@; Such a big tease and gamble. >,<;
-
Oh wow, the last three look great! I especially love the second. :)
Though now I really want some books/magazines for Nadia. xD
Speaking of, meet the little one! These are basically all pose experiments, as testing for the plans I have for park photos. I'm gonna take soooo many photos with my lamp setup tonight, haha!
Anyways, Barbie babies look awesome with Livs. This outfit is a little restrictive, but I remember how easy mine from childhood was to move. With Nadia's bad arm and squishy Liv hands, its a bit hard for her to hold the baby up with them (I'll be trying this with a normal doll later, to see if there's a difference). Even with painted on eyes the baby really fits in, and I'm very excited about getting more. Baby fever is spreading through the Livs! XD

Thanks! :hug: I actually plan on making a few more books, maybe a few magazines. If I do find any covers that I like, I'll probably post them here so you can make them too!!
Those pictures are adorable! (Not to mention the baby!! XD) I can't wait to see the pictures in the park! I also see your True Hopes MG Avery in the background!!
In the past few days I've been listening to Colbie Calliat all day all night. After listening to 3 of her albums on shuffle so much, I think I've finally come up with a name for my unnamed pregnant Liv doll! :biggrin:
After listening to this song so many times, I decided to name her... :blush:

Thanks! I had a lot of fun taking lamp photos just now. They're not the best, and I haven't gotten them on my computer yet, but I'm pretty happy with them. However someone else stole the mommy spotlight, so now I've got another momma. xD
Avery's happy to be noticed! I'll finally post a topic for her on Monday, so I can cover her and Merida at once.
I'll have to listen to that later, but Capri is a pretty name! And I still cannot get over how much I love that outfit. I desperately need more preggo outfits, especially tighter ones like that.
The photos are great! I absolutely love that one of her and Lexa too, its such a sweet shot.

I love all your wonderful photos, Luvly! They are all so cute <3
@Taxel: The baby is a perfect fit! I want one now ^_^
I took some photos the other day - I keep forgetting to post them!

She really is, Jiggles! She's the perfect size and she just fits so well. I had soooo much fun last night with more photos! I cannot wait to get more Barbie babies. I even had a dream last night partially involving me finding a ton of them in different skintones with tons of clothing and accessories. XD
And I love those photos! That skirt looks great with that top.
A few more Nadia shots, I'll wait a bit longer to reveal the new momma. :)
I barely took any photos of Nadia because new momma took over like crazy, haha.

@Taxel I've had dreams like that before, accept it involved pullips. It's so frustrating when you wake up and they are non-existent D:
Thanks! I never use the skirt because even though it's made epesically for Liv, it is too tight.. I mean, I can get it on, but it's hard to work with :\
Everytime I see the baby I want one more! You got yours on eBay, right?
-
I've had a lot of similar dreams, but lately they've been especially bad because I have soooooo much regret over letting my mom get rid of my Barbie stuff (and soooo much anger over the Barbie stuff she got rid of without my permission). Add that to me possibly being able to go yard sale/thrift store hunting for toy stuff soon, and I'm a wreck of dreams and regret. xD
Yep! I got her on eBay. She was about $10 with shipping, but I got lucky. I've been watching a lot of Barbie baby auctions lately, and around $15-20 seems more average for her type. Many don't have any or full clothing. Tan babies go for more, and I've only seen a few dark ones. Its about the same for newborns.
And on the subject of Barbie babies, modern ones are awful. I saw a set at Walmart last night, and was disappointed. The babies' have such exaggerated expressions, and (in my opinion) they wouldn't fit well with Livs. And I couldn't tell if they're jointed.

Jiggles: What Daniela is that :blink: She's pretty <3

I know that feeling - I had a TON of LPS stuff, aswell as Barbie, Polly Pockets, ect., and my dad wouldn't let me take it with me when we moved! Apparently I didn't need it anymore.. If I didn't need toys, I would be on Facebook instead of MLP Arena. >.>
Hopefully I'll get one for a good price - but I'm taking a pause on buying dolls and trying to catch up on my pony collecting.
It sucks that the new ones aren't good :\ I wish my thrift store didn't close! They literally closed the DAY AFTER I began pony collecting! They made a new one, but they only sell things that are in their box or in EXCELLENT condition, and for crazy prices. So no ponies, no old barbie stuff.. D:
grzankitter: She's Sleepover Party Daniela. I warn you, though.. She has the bad body D: I also don't see her in stores as much, but that may just be my area.
-
What makes it even worse for me was I got into Pullips, so I kept a lot of Bratz clothing my sister and I had. But I didn't even think to save Barbie accessories at least! And a LOT of what we had is crazy expensive now. >.<
Good luck! You should be able to get a good deal with some patience. :)
What kills me is yard sales. My grandma used to take me to tons of yard sales as a kid, and bought me so much cool stuff. Why couldn't I have been into ponies then! Dx

I never was into Bratz - and of course, all the clothing that I want comes with a doll, and I know I'd never be able to sell the doll.
Same here! And of course, where I live, no one sells anything but baby books, baby dolls, and old, low quality stuffed animals at Yard Sales. In the last city we lived in, there was a TON of amazing stuff. But the only thing I remember ever buying? A kitten calender that I never ended up using :drunk:
-
I didn't know the new barbie baby stuff were still in shelves. I gotta see them and see what they look like compared to yours. lol I actually woke up this morning from a dream of me taking photos of Capri with a barbie baby. XD Followed by a dream of me getting my grades showing that I failed the course. >_<
Thanks Jiggles! :hug: No more phone camera for me! visitors can't see pics , please register or login
I actually like the faceup for the sleepover Daniela, I actually wouldn't mind having a sleepover doll, but it's the kung fu karate chopping action. The idea of it is cool, but not when you're trying to take photos. I wish I could find one to experiment with and maybe even rebody to a fully articulated body.
I actually made a few more books to print out! I just went to amazon and took the front covers, back covers and table of contents of pregnancy books and edited them so they can be cut out and folded. I'll post them here a little later so everyone can print them out for their dolls. XD

I like her faceup to. I'm not a HUGE fan of the lipstick, but it's not really a problem. An I agree with you on the karate chop arm thing! The horrible thing is that it jacks here whole right arm up. No matter how you pose her, her arm springs forward.. O.o Example: I pose her arm so she's pointing directly in front of her... It then jumps into a position where she's pointing up at the sky. It really frustrates me when I take photos of her. :huh: I want to give her a new body but I don't want another head lying around (I already have one in my drawer) and I don't like modifying dolls.
I kinda want to make little iPhones, Laptops, ect. for my dolls. All you have to do is make it tinier, print it out, and put a small piece of cardboard between the front and back pieces.
-
Jiggles, to deal with the springing forward arm push her arm back super far. It'll click a lot, but she'll be fine. When you pull her arm forward too much you'll have to do it again. I do that when I pose Nadia, and it helps a ton. :)

Yeah, it does help. :D But I honestly don't get why the "pillow fighting" arms were made in the first place :\
-
As a gimmick to try and sell the dolls better. That's why we have seizure dancing (apparently? I don't have one yet) and the joints got scrapped.
Honestly, I love the karate chopping. Its stupid and annoying but once I get Daniela my boyfriend and I can have ninja Liv battles! xD

True, true. Actually, the dancing is kinda cool XD (My friend has a few and we were having "dance contests" with them) So I get how you like the karate chopping x3

I don't feel like waiting anymore. xD
Say hello to the new momma, Twin #1! (Nicknamed Kite, haha)
visitors can't see pics , please
register or
loginThanks to her normal arms, it was MUCH easier to pose her with the baby, although I did try some poses with her that I haven't tried with Nadia. She was able to hold the baby in just her hands a lot better as well. The moment I got her with the baby (for test shots to see how easy it was to pose a normal Liv with the baby), she just totally blew me away. She's such a natural mother, and the little one may become officially her's. As a bonus, baby's dress and carrier match her outfit! Maybe its meant to be? Lol.
-
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that first photo where she's holding her baby in the air! That's just too cute! 83

OMG!!! *Head explodes from sheer adorableness* They do look perfect together!! You even gave her SO Alexis's dress, leggings and shoes!! Love it!! What did you do end up doing with the necklace?
Here's the book covers I used, so all everyone else's dolls who have a bun(s) in the oven can have something to read!! (Sadly, all there is to read is just the table of contents. XD)

What I did after printing them:
-Don't cut them out exactly yet
-fold where the bottom of the book is
-then fold it again on the spine of the books
-Cut them out so the pages and covers go together aligned
-
Thanks so much guys! :D
Molly got back her outfit after the photos were done, and I just left her necklace alone. Its too pretty to get rid of.
And thanks for those Luvly! They're awesome. And I love those photos of Capri, the randomly falling asleep while doing something is soooo accurate. xD
I can't wait to get the newborn tomorrow!

Gaah, this is part of the reason why i don't do much picture wise with my LIV Liljah. I love that she looks like an OC of mine, but it's hard to pose that arm. She's perpetually Karate chopping. That's what I get for wanting to make that OC, but they didn't have bright enough of red hair for my other one. DX

Thanks! <3 Moxie kids make the best Liv siblings/younger relatives, haha.
Yeah, I had the wig sitting there and I was like 'hey wonder if this would fit him'. It actually does, lol! Doesn't fall off or anything. Too bad there's no Moxie Girls with super short hair.
I also love your Barbie baby pictures, she's so adorable and the Liv girls look so nice with her!
And Luvly, your new old camera takes great pics! I love the name you chose for your pregnant girl ^^
-
aellos - Oh god, making OCs. I made one of my redheads, and it was so hard to find her a wig. Its not perfect in color (who puts tons of tiny black/brown streaks in crimson hair?), but its very close. She's my only redheaded Liv, and that really depresses me. I can't believe Spin Master did so much diversity with wigs, but there are only three red wigs, and none are a truly natural ref apparently! D<
But otherwise Liljah is gorgeous! I usually do poses with Nadia that involve things like her bad arm being behind her, on her hip (after doing the push-it-back thing), or just out of the frame. I can actually get her sitting on my Liv horse fairly realistically using the push-it-back trick.
Tux - You could get a True Hope one and put a wig on her? :)
And thanks! I'm so so so so so happy with the baby. She works so well!
-
I really want one of the True Hope ones, but I've never actually seen one. They had the Bratz ones at TRU, but I looked all over and there weren't any Moxie girls. And I definitely haven't seen any around here. Hopefully they show up eventually, haha.
She really does <3 Liv dolls make the best moms, I remember getting so frustrated as a kid because my Barbies couldn't actually hold the baby, you had to kind of... balance it on their shoulder. But Livs can hold them perfectly xD
-
They have them here, in case you ever need one picked up for you. :) Last time I checked they had all of the Bratz ones and all of the Moxie ones. I'm going back to TRU maybe today or tomorrow so I'll look.
That they do! They can hold her so well, even Nadia with her bad arm looks pretty natural sitting there holding her. Jointed dolls are the best dolls.
Also, expect some really fun photos later! I got Merida today, along with something else. ;)
(Haven't checked for the newborn yet.)
Edit: The newborn has arrived (and is amazing!), as did a RAOPK. I'm crying right now so I'll take nice photos later.
-
Has anyone straightened a Liv wig yet? I have a curly one and I really need the hair to be straight.

I hear the Boiled Water Method (http://pullipstyle.com/resource/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6534) works. If the link doesn't work, tell me and I'll copy/paste everything.
-
I've also heard boiling water, but I've yet to try it. I've tried VERY hot water from the sink, and the wigs always go back to curly/whatever within a few days. Does anyone know how the dolls (faces, eyes, bodies, etc) and the blue wig holder head things react to boiling water? Some of my wigs need to be on a head so they dry the way I want. XP
The newborn fakie arrived today, safe and sound! He actually looks a lot better than I thought, and has the same movement level as newborn Barbies (from what I recall from childhood). I definitely want another one or two, and highly recommend them! More photos to come later.

Tux those shots are adorable! Daniela and your Sophinas actually works well being sisters, which is wierd, because to me the Asian girl of the Moxie Girlz was always Lexa and Sophina would be the Mexican, while with my Livs, Daniela would be the Asian one. lol Hopefully you'll be able to get one of the True Hopes Doll. Now I'm tempted to getting TH Avery for that outfit, it'a such a perfect match with the red shirt, plaid skirt and denim vest.
Aellos: Liljah looks cute in that outfit. Do you plan on getting another Liv doll? She'll need a friend! :sly:
Geeze, I'm still looking at the pictures of Kite with the baby, omg they're amazing together!! XD Can't wait to see more shots with this newborn fakie.
OK As for the hair boilwashing, I have done it several times first hand with hot water straight from the stove with a kettle and there have been no bad reaction result from it that I've experienced. Although I haven't done it with curly hair yet, with straight hair it gets rid of the dents and fold in the hair and makes it perfectly natural so I'm sure it'll straighten curly hair.
ETA: The private estate pool really makes a great wading pool/hot tub for the liv dolls, Congrats on getting it! Looks great with the stairs and the flowers, not to mention the sea pony statues. Now if only Capri was there with them. :lol:
-
I dunno if I'll get another one. Everywhere around me already has them gone, and they don't appeal enough to me outside of the Wonderland series.
I do like my Liljah and I do plan on finding more outfits for her though down the line.
-
Haha, yeah, I was just matching them up by eye color (brown eyes=Daniela, blue eyes=Sophie, green eyes=Hayden), and it worked out pretty good! I have two Lexa's and they've been dubbed Hayden's twin cousins, since they look a little too different to be siblings. Yeah, I hope so, I really love the idea of dolls supporting cancer research and the result is super cute. I'm actually glad MGA picked up the idea instead of Mattel, I think the baldness looks better with the larger heads of Bratz and Moxies then it would with tiny-headed Barbie, lol.
Taxel, your pictures look great! I love the mommy discussion group XD Hayden is so adorable with that purple wig. And the fakie newborn is so cute <3
-
Thanks to Wardah for telling me about the Making Waves being on clearance (about $7.98) now at TRU, I went today and bought Daneila and Katie!!
HERES THE BEST PART!! I had these 2 on layaway for about 40ish. >,>; BUT Today, with 2 of the 5$ off coupons, I got them for $2.98 each!! So basically I got both of them for about 7ish after tax. Two for the price of one!! XD
-
o.O
$2.98?! What?!
I may have to see if my TRU has them on sale, because if I could get Daniella for $2.98 that would be epic.
-
So I just saw the most exciting thing in an ebay auction. I've been wanting to get the LIV doll with the blue eyes but only if I could find a red haired wig to put on her. I am really fond of red haired, blue eyed dolls! Well... I came across the LIV Bright Alexis doll on ebay and she wears an orange wig. Talk about getting close!!!
I'm thinking about buying it but I don't really want the doll.. just the wig.... *torn*
she looks like this:

See if you can find the Brites in stores. Liv is on serious clearance in most places, so you may find a better deal in person than on eBay or Amazon. That way you can also get a good look at the wig and make sure you like the color etc.
You'd be able to sell the accessories/clothes I'm sure, but you probably wouldn't find a buyer for the body (maybe the head).
-
I'm going through my dolls right now, and I'm about ready to toss this bad one of Brites Katie. Just holding it and touching it has a weird feel to it. Like a cheap, hollow sh***y plastic feel. and they were going for 20 when they were first released. >,<;
If you do go to TRU, don't forget to print out the $5 off coupon! That's how it was reduced down to 2.98 There's a thread about it in the Pony Corral. speaking of which, I may need to go back and get another Making Waves Sophie, I have her stock on It's My Nature Sophie and I'm kinda not feeling it for some reason. >,<; Also her body is so very bad, her hip and left foot is super loose, like the feet flops around and won't stay in one spot, same with the hip. Gonna experiment and swap some heads.
Daniela has an amazing face! A definite must in my opinion, she's the one Tux used is her photos with the Moxie Girlz & Owen.
-
Urg, that sucks so much. I can't believe they'd release such an awful line for $20 each.
I've got one! I'm gonna try and see if I can use it on a $4.99 items. XD Filly Princess mom and babies set, so I can get another FP and my Livs can have a few! No idea if it'll work, but I can try! And are you really allowed to use multiple in one purchase/make multiple purchases to use multiple coupons? I may nab Daniela and an accessory pack or two if we can. Maybe a second FP set if that even works, hahaha.
-
Well, normally you're not supposed to but I did what StarDragon said. Just to be safe. XD
Buy something, walk around at different shops for 10 minutes and come back to buy more! :P
Bought something, went to Pet Smart for a bit, came back. :lol:
Also, printing the same coupon over and over doesn't work since it'll have the same barcode. I was able to get 3, one regular, then one on Chrome Incognito Mode, then one on another computer. :P So if your BF has a computer also, you can probably get another. lol
-
We have three computers. All have Chrome, so of course Incognito. >D
-
Aw SHOOT!! I just ruined the neck anchor for MW Sophie, so yeah, a trip to TRU is gonna be needed again for MW Sophie this time. >,>; As for It's My Nature Sophie, her head is so squishy compared to the rest and her right ear is has missed holes and her foot is so loose too. >,>; So far that's 2 Liv dolls ruined so far, *&^%!! (Original and MW Sophie) I'm supposed to make my number grow not decrease. >,<; :rant:
So let's count how many I have so far...
MW: Katie
MW Alexis
MW Daniela
MW Hayden
MW Sophie (Turned her into Capri so she doesn't count as MW Sophie since she also has Original Sophie's body now)
Spa Daniela
Spa Sophie (Still in box, not gonna open yet till I see my grades)
SO Alexis
It's My nature Sophie (bad quality wtf)
Color Daniela/bright Katie (doesn't count since I want them for their eyes and stock)
So far a total of 9, gonna be 10 once I get this replacement Sophie.
Just need a replacement MW Sophie. Damn, she was in good condition too.
-
Awwww. D: That really bites!
Speaking of MW Sophie, I'm still bummed I don't have her stock. Maybe I'll see if I can grab one for $3 as well, and trade off the doll.
-
After taking a small break from being frustrated, I took a look at Spa Sophie, still in her box, and I actually like the faceup she has and her eyebrows are just as dark as MW Sophie. While looking at the rest of the Liv girls, here's what I would plan to do if it all goes well:
-Change Capri back into MW Sophie
-Turn Spa Sophie into Capri
-Let MW Sophie keep original Sophie's body
*Only if Spa Sophie's body is as great as that one.
Hopefully, no more complications get in the way. Also, that way Capri would be a lot more fun to play with since she'll have color changing makeup. XP *Not so frustrated anymore*
I also forgot to add SO Hayden. So that's 10 dolls total so far.
If this plan doesn't workout, maybe we can work something out.
-
Sounds like a good plan! :D
And the color-changing makeup is soooo much fun. Last night I finally got Rita's (Spa Alexis) makeup to change! It was way too hot to work when I got her, but last night I did a shoot of her, her fiancee Abbey, and "their" daughter. The cold water and being right by the air conditioner made it change (but of course one accidental touch and it was gone XP). Her makeup is actually gorgeous changed. I wish Abbey had color change makeup, since she's a model.
-
Gahh I know I said I was going to wait till I see my final grade to determine if I can keep them or not, but AH SCREW IT WHO CARES!! *Opens Spa Sophie, MW Katie and MW Daniela* I am confident that I passed that class!! I'll try to get photos once the camera is charged. X3
ETA: As it turned out, SO Hayden was the perfect candidate to become Capri, so I basically opened Spa Sophie for nothing..Although I am kind glad since her body is terrible!! >,<; I thought the Spa Makeover bodies would be perfect, since my Daniela has Suuuuch a perfect Body! But this one is as bad as It's My Nature Sophie, if not a little better. but her hands are very fragile, can't rotate them without it looking like the joint in the rubbery hands are about to pop/rip out. >,<; Taxel, what is the body like on your Spa Makeover Sophie? I might want to risk it in the future and get another, hoping it'll be perfect.
-
Awwww, I'm sorry you've had such a bad time with Livs lately! D: Neither of my Spa girls had a problem, but I only have Alexis and Daniela. My only Spa-related issues are Alexis's wig and clothes, but that's just personal taste. Well, aside from her wig not changing color, but I don't really care because I think the wig looks awful. I REALLY want Spa Sophie to replace my original Katie though.
-
Yeah. Even though they're giving me a hard time, I haven't lost hope in them I still like them.
I saw Alexis's outfit and wig for the Spa Makeover...not a big fan of it, a very nice top, just bad color scheme. >,<;
Right now I'm about to change Capri back into MW Sophie, then put her eyes into Spa Makeover Sophie and then compare her next to Hayden and see who looks better to become Capri. This'll be a long process, but in the end it should/will work out perfectly.
-
Yeah, I hated the dress on her. It just looks so awful with her skin tone. After I got it on a lighter skinned girl, I liked it a lot more. Though now I really want a proper outfit for that Alexis. She's got a decent one right now, an accessory pack plus some old doll clothes, but the top barely fits. XP
I hope you're able to figure out Capri soon! That would frustrate me to no end. I'd probably have given up, haha.
And it looks like tomorrow I get to "torture" my boyfriend! :D I'm gonna make him take me to TRU (and try to use multiple coupons >D), stop by Petco to look at the animals, and go to the park.
-
Almost there...just...about...done!!
Capri is now Spa Sophie with Original Sophie's body
Making Wave Sophie is now Herself but with SO Hayden's body
SO Hayden is the same but with Spa Sophie's body.
So happy now! All I need to do now is dress them! And since I was taking a long time dealing with this, I haven't gotten to open the other 2 yet. XP *Goes to open them* Hopefully they won't be of any trouble. *crosses fingers*
Alexis does come in different skin tones, it's weird. One moment she's super dark, the next, she's caramel colored. I love SO Alexis because of her caramel color while MW Alexis is a lot darker. >,<;
lol hopefully you'll have a lot good luck with your hunt tomorrow! :hug: Can't wait to see the new photos. :lol:
-
YAY! I'm so glad you got it figured out relatively quickly! I hope the others are less difficult! Lol.
I loooove her different skintones! There's not much diversity with the white girls. Sometimes I can see a slight difference if they're unclothed or wearing little clothing (like the two in bathing suits) and in photos, but in person they all look basically identical. I love being able to mix it up with a variety in skintone from Alexis.
Though I'm biased because I love both chocolatey skin (dark Alexis is so perfect!) and absolutely adore the shade of lighter Alexis.
Thanks hun! <3 I hope all goes well. He may kill me but he said he's mine tomorrow and I'm making him stick to that. xD
-
I love her even more now since her lips looks more natural and such and her faceup looks so normal...until the cold water goes on her face. >=D
That is true, the white girls usually have the same skin tone it's a little bleak. The only thing different would be the color of their pixie cuts, I don't know about Daniela yet and her skin tones.
If he also has something that he collects, maybe you can let him use one of the coupons. XP Ooo! That's one way to use 2 coupons at once: You take an item with a coupon, and he takes an item with the coupon and the both of you go to different lines!
I just opened Katie and she's got no trouble so far, perfect, only thing was the box. was covered in so much glue. @,@; I swear Capri would look perfect in her swimsuit!! If only there's a way to keep her pregnant and be able to wear it. XP
-
Haha! That's why I want Spa Sophie to replace Katie.
Daniela is ehhh. Her skin's very pale tan, its weird. I like it fine but not the way I like light Alexis, for example.
He only collects video games, and maybe Magic cards would count. But we don't have enough money for the Magic set he wants, maybe a booster pack or something would work, hm. . .thanks for the idea! But we couldn't use multiple at once because 1) there's never more than one aisle open and 2) if they want more than $5 we have to use his debit card, lol.
Hooray! I'll keep my fingers crossed though, lol.
And oh gosh, hello mind twin. xD I think that so often about my girls. Like "awww, X type of shot would be soooo cute! . . . but I can't! Dx". There were really creepy custom pregnant Livs on eBay. One had a HORRIBLY sculpted belly (like it was super lumpy and painted badly) and one planted a Liv head on a cheap pregnant doll body.
-
Ugh! I meant to shop around for LIV in Color Alexis today, but forgot. Had to run around looking for some MHs before they disapear for good. If anyone happens upon her, will you grab her for me? I'm scared I'm gonna miss out on her and have to pay lots for her (instead of getting her for cheap.) I think I accidently bought her a new body :lol: The Arena is a dangerous place:) Mention you need something, and BOOM you've got it.
I keep meaning to take pics of my hybrids, but I'm putting it off because I've taken one picture in the past to poor reviews:( I'm afraid it'll be alot of work to get a good photo (and you guys take such beautiful pics. I won't be able to compete :lol:) and I'm quite lazy:)
-
lol I actually had to go and look it up. XD Only saw the head on the cheap body. Very weird. I wonder if it would be possible to use the belly that comes with that body and somehow have it stay. At once point I was thinking of using like a stocking of the same skin tone and then wrap it around them, but then I realized, how am I going to hide the bunched up fabric?! :argh:
Grzankitter: sadly I haven't seen any more of them ever since. >,<; They disappeared at an alarming speed. Ahh I'm so eager to see how your hybrid Liv dolls looks, practice makes perfect!! I've been so tempted in getting the ST dolls too, but I still wanna stick to collecting the Signature dolls, maybe I'll get Clawdeen. OMG being broke sucks. >,>;
Now I'm gonna open up MW Daniela! *crosses fingers*
-
Aw don't feel intimidated grzankitter! No one is an amazing photographer overnight. I've been photographing dolls since 2008, and a lot of my early shots make me cringe now when I thought they were epic back in the day. Heck, even sometimes what I post here isn't all that great.
So guys, guess what I dreamed again last night? >.<
That I found a tonnnn of Barbie babies (newborn, infant, and toddler) of all different skintones and in all different outfits. Accessories too! And baby Filly Princesses and other tiny doll-sized toys. My pockets were overflowing with all the great stuff. I was so sad when I woke up and realized none of that happened.
-
True, I only started like...last week with a phone cam. XD
I hate having dreams like those, so glad I haven't had one in a while like that. lol
So Daniela is perfect! BUT when I took her bottom off, it popped the stitches so now it's slowly going to unravel from behind. >,< I should be able to fix but I will once it's gone too far.
-
Luvly: You could try using a cover-up to keep the fake belly in place. I know if I was preggers, you wouldn't catch me out on the beach without a cover-up! :lol:
-
Lol! I only went to the beach/swimming without a full T-shirt and shorts when I was pregnant. That was actually the only time I've ever worn a bikini.
TRU was a success!!! They'd already taken down the coupons before we were able to get multiple, which was a downer. But I was able to get a Filly Princess pack 100% free!!! The babies are the PERFECT size to play as MLPs for Livs, and the adults aren't too big either.

Ohhhhhhh! I love your Jack Skelington pony. He is wonderful<3
-
Wow, they do make perfect size ponies for Liv dolls. lol As for TRU, did they stop letting the coupon be printed or did they suddenly make it impossible to use anymore even if you have it printed out? I still have one left and I wanted to use it. >,<;
I ended up "altering" her outfit a bit and it seemed to go well. XP The Barbie Fashionistas has a beach set that comes with a romper-like swimsuit and I think would work well, but it's too pink for Capri. =_=;
I had a "fun" day taking photos and figuring out poses. Even though on the box says 100+ poses, I couldn't come up with many of them...=_=;
Spa Sophie compared next to SO Hayden when eyes are swapped. Decided to go with Spa Sophie.
A day at the "beach" after releasing MW Daniela and Katie. XP

Aw, cute photos! :D
And I don't know if its necessarily healthy, but when I was like around 6 months pregnant and went to the beach I laid on my stomach. Of course I had to dig a hole in the sand to keep from being viciously attacked for squishing him. XD
And and and I finally gave my Livs their own page on my collection site! Its got a lot of newly edited photos, since I downloaded Picasa. Its VERY frustrating to not have the freedom of editing PS has, but I don't have a choice. XP What do you guys think (http://taxelponies.shutterfly.com/livs)?
-
-
We need to find a way to be able to draw more attention to Liv dolls. XP
What are some ideas we can possibly come up with that could get people involved?? Hmm..gotta come up with ideas.

I was just thinking about this earlier today! *brainstorms*
EDIT: Pressed post too early x3
-
I'd suggest maybe a Liv modeling competition/game, but do we have enough active people with Livs willing to do that?

Maybe we could make a Liv Spam thread to see how many people own livs and take pictures of them, and if there are enough Liv collectors, we can make one :)
Actually, I'm going to make that now.
-
The only problem with a pic spam thread is that's most of what we post here. Of course we chat and stuff too, but Liv isn't getting any more new releases and not many different people post here. But I will happily embrace ANY non-MH thread. Its seriously time MH get its own section and stops taking over the entire Dollhouse. 14 MH topics on the front page, many of which are just pic spam threads, is ridiculously excessive and annoying. Especially when many of them don't need separate threads. :/

True, but it's always nice to see if theres anyone besides us who collects them, and just never posts here. Even though I'm a MH collector myself, I agree. MH really needs it's own forum - almost all the posts that are being made are about MH.
-
Yeah, that's true. I've seen people posting Livs in other places and it makes me pretty sad that they don't post here. Maybe they'd post if they didn't possibly feel intimidated or something because of our chatting or just plain don't want to chat period or whatever.
I used to love MH, and the excessive takeover of the Dollhouse and all the spammy threads that belong in the MH chat thread contributed a lot to me not longer really liking them anymore. XP
-
Yeah, we do have too many MH threads. I love them and all, but too many releases gives me time to just concentrate on the Signature dolls and other lines besides just MH.
I actually wanted to do Liv Story threads and do some kind of comedic Reality Show that let's everyone vote for who should be voted off or stay. Kinda like Total Drama Island or Paradise Hotel or something but I wouldn't know how to make it work. XP

I'm not the only one? I want to get a ton of liv dolls and make a America's Next Top Doll Model, and it would have everything! House drama, challenges, photo shoots, eliminations, and makeovers! It would be so much fun, but it would be a ton of work :huh:
-
Yeah, I know it'll be pretty fun and all, but Sooo much work and time needed. I'd have to get a whole bunch of cardboard to paint the settings and find props (like bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, etc) just thinking about it seems so amazing! But whenever I have a good idea for something and try it, it usually ends in a big flop. >,<;
If I had the time and right props, I would have so much crazy drama, weird and fun challenges, alliances, betrayals, elimination rounds, and a great hostess for the show!!
I wouldn't mind linking the thread in other threads, but that'll be the same thing as those people on youtube that comment: "If you like this video, check out my channel too!" and I hate it when people do that, and I know that if I hate it, other people would feel the same. =_=;
-
Oh gosh I love a "real" Liv ANTM! I watched the show mainly for the photography and modeling (being a photographer and all), but the drama was hilarious. I'd love to do a normal Liv ANTM, but I don't have much clothing/accessories first of all, and more importantly I barely have any place to take photos as it is. The window is aggravating, they're taller than the back of my lamp setup, and getting my boyfriend to take me anywhere is a hassle. XP
As far as linking goes, you could link in your sig! I'm considering putting a direct link to my Liv page in my sig.

Same here - it's absalutely HILARIOUS! :lmao: At some point I'll get more Livs and a lot of wigs, and then maybe I could do it. But then I'd need more clothing, and props, and a lot of time - and once school starts, I'll be really busy. :sad:
I think I'll put a link in my sig. Mine is reaaallly empty.

Maybe I should make that into one of my goals or something. XD I watched the first season of Total Drama Island last month so I could host my own little survivor/fear factor/paradise hotel/TDI reality TV show/Story threads with a comedic twist with like a bit of everything from all kinds of reality TV shows. Would be a good way to take photos of both my Livs with Moxie Girlz.

I think you should go for it!
-
Maybe I should, I've been thinking about the idea of it all day today. X3
I found these cute looking food items in the Party Favors section, at Target, that look like the perfect size for Liv Dolls. One pack has 3 sandwiches, 3 burgers, and 3 hot dogs, while the other has 3 kinds of pastries, I didn't like the way the pastries looked much, so I didn't get that one. I'll post pictures once I take them!

:O They're only $2 each?! Is that correct?! I've seen SUPER epic food erasers, but they were like $8 for two or three at TRU and I haven't seen them in a long time. Those look like great substitutes! Even better since they don't have fake punny labels on the foods, lol.
-
If you have a Daiso Japan (a Japanese $1.50 store) in your area, they have some food erasers there too! I haven't looked at them in full detail but I remember seeing them a few times, they have like 3 in one pack for $1.50. There's one pack with fruits/veggies, one pack with those tall, plastic, rectangular tea bottles with a carton of milk and I think there are some more, I haven't been to one in a while.
So for $2, you get this!

Those little erasers are TOO CUTE!
Sadly, all of my girls are packed up right now, since we're making a big move this weekend. But I do hope to be able to participate in this thread a little more once the girls are free again. I have to agree on the overdose of MH in the Dollhouse though! I love my MH girls, but I try to make it a point to bump all of the non-MH threads, just so those girls get some love too!
-
Oh man I need those erasers for sure! They're epic. Its so cool that they come apart!
I'm still trying to get my boyfriend to take me to the park. >.< It looks like today'd be a really nice day, the coolest this week at least. But it looks like it'll be fairly nice lately so I foresee many draggings of the boyfriend to go take doll photos, haha.
-
Aww thanks BBgirl! :hug: and Thanks for bumping the thread. It is nice to sometimes take a break from MH. Hope you get comfortable with your new place, maybe even a few new shots of the place with your Liv dolls too! XD
The weather has been wonderful lately. Hopefully your boyfriend does take you to the park sometime this week, not only for taking doll photos, but also for you to get used to walking again and letting your toes recover!
-
Those erasers are awesome! I remember getting a few packs at my Dollar Tree for of couse, a dollar. I think it was the same company. The other day I got some icecream and cupcakes in Target's school supply isle.
-
Ooo I'd love to see pics of those with your liv dolls to see how well they compare in size!
I found my old DS Keychain that fits them perfectly! I wonder what other props there are that work well with Liv dolls. I'll take pictures of Capri playing with it later or something.
-
Yay! I finally got a chance to set up a place to take photos! I was having so much fun...then my camera ran out of batteries. XD LOL Needless to say I went out and got batteries (and ice cream.) So here is the results of my wacky photoshoot.
Sophie and her puppy Howl relax with Megan.

Awww, cute pics, Dragonsummoner! I love Sophie's bike!

All your little props are so cute! ^_^

Those erasers are gorgeous! Wish I could find some of those in the UK, never seen anything even remotely similar though :(
Has anyone done a custom face-up of a Liv? Not just swapping eyes but the rest of it? I have one (I did find out who she was earlier in this thread but now cant remember) but I don't like her face. I wasn't going to keep her at all TBH but I don't think anyone is going to buy or trade for her.
-
I was actually kinda sad when I saw all the resets in the toy aisles, there are no LIV stuff. This thread is making me want a family of them. Not to mention their clothes would be PERFECT for my Pullip.
They're still at Toys R Us though!

I've seen many Livs with new faceups on Flickr. I want one badly, but I can't afford to commission one yet.

This was the only photo that turned out half decent today. Today she just looked so dead when I took photos of her D:
-
Very nice!
I would love to see face ups too!
-
Totally not trying to offend anyone at all, but I just can't see the appeal in the Liv dolls. They all have the same face, and their eyes freak me out!

Definitely don't stick around here, then. I know of a lot of people who didn't like the eyes at first but kept seeing pics online or the dolls in toy aisles and they eventually got hooked. I'm pretty sure I remember Taxel commenting on not liking the eyes a year or so ago and now she has almost 20 of them XD And I didn't like the eyes on the early ones either, but I eventually got myself three of them and they're some of my favorite dolls.
-
That's how it was with me as well. When I first got into doll collecting, my initial reaction with Liv was: "These things have such a creepy, ugly looking face. I'll NEVER EVER Get into collecting these fugly dolls." And after looking at the Liv dolls over and over while searching for MH, their faces have grown on me. One day suddenly, I craved wanting one. I completely pulled a 180 and bought one and then got hooked ever since. Now I have about 10+ and I actually like them over most the doll lines I collect.
-
A couple of years ago someone gave me a set of those "best friend" necklaces you can find at Claires, but my best friend and I don't wear much jewelery so they kind of got tossed aside. But last night I realized they make awesome necklaces for Livs XD You just wrap it around their neck about five times, like a scarf, let the last loop hang down to their chest, and since the charms are of course too big, rotate them so they go down the doll's back. It looks really cool. And my best friend left a hairband behind when she was here last weekend, and turns out it makes a great headband for a wigless Liv. So now my girls have some new accessories, haha. I'll try and take some pics tomorrow.
-
It's official for me, all the stores I go to have sold all of their Liv dolls! >,<; I'll never be able to get my hands on any new girls ever again!! (unless I get them online)
I don't want this thread to get old, so I'll spam some more photos I took just now. XP Ugh I forgot to comb/fix her hair.

:O That tiny DS is so cute! Where did you get it?
And I finally have new photos! Its been way too long. First up is some comparison shots of my Jun Planning Leptospermum Ai doll and a Liv. He makes a fine child for a Liv, I think, but he's not good at posing. At ALL. I don't know what the issue is. I'm not very knowledgeable about BJDs (he's apparently one?), but it seems he's either strung badly and/or the elastic died from being from like 2008. He's always had these issues though, so. :/ I wouldn't recommend one unless you get it cheaper than the $80-100 he cost. I'd suggest going for a Only Hearts Club Li'l Kids doll instead, as they're $9, but I haven't seen one in person yet so yeah.

I never charged it because I forgot about the Ai doll shoot I did a while back. >.<
So I'll be dragging him back soon, haha.

That DS and Nintendogs Case was a keychain gift from a friend back in high school that they got for me when they went to China. I cut off the extra bits that held the chain.
Damn those park shots look amazing. XP Look forward to seeing more when you make more trips to the park. XD
Right now I wanna make another Sophie or Katie to have them switch eyes with my Liv for Color Daniela so I'd have a light skinned girl with brown eyes.
ALSO, I remember someone asked about boil straightening a curly haired wig, I boil washed Making Waves Alexis' wig and it looks perfect straight.
-
Asians have the best cute little things. xD
I'm very happy with the Kite ones! Jude and Lucy's is bad since I was rushing, but I wanted a nicer photo with their news eyes. Molly's make me sad. D: I couldn't get the river to show up well when I was taking them, and Picasa's filters only made that worse. Hopefully when we go back I can spend more time on those rocks and get some nice water shots. Or instead we go play in the creek, lol.
Oh man don't you make me want that! xD I love that idea.
I don't know who else asked, if anyone, but I did! I'm thrilled to hear that. How exactly did you do it? I can't mentally figure out how to position the wigs once they've hit the water.
-
Aw, Taxel, the park pictures are beautiful! <3 I love the ones with Kite!
Took some more photos yesterday, and developed my Liv's characters a bit more. Sometime in the future, Daniela and Hayden get together, and because they both want to be moms and have their kids be about the same age, they get pregnant at the same time. Daniela delivered first, a little boy who is unnamed as of yet xD

Haha, I know, right? I think about halfway through they noticed the slight problem with their idea xD Poor Sophie, she had to hang out with her grumpy pregnant friends for nine months.

Unfortunately I discovered something horrific is wrong with Prudence! Dx It looks like her arm dug into her hand. I'm guessing it was slightly damaged before, as I don't photograph/pose/move her much and those whose hands get moved TONS more have no sign of wear. I've taken her off display and won't be touching that hand.

I'm pretty upset, since that was the ONLY way I could take photos without the flash indoors. While my flash is miles better than my old camera's, it can still easily wash things out and such. :/
Which means I'll be bugging Jayson more about going to the park/walking around/etc, which sucks for him. Haha.
But on a happy note, I got to the park again recently! I bought my original Katie to try and bond with her, since I can't find a trade for her. It helped, but she NEEDS a wig. D: Sadie and Hayden are also officially a couple now.

Gah I don't want this thread to get too old. >,<;
Wow I missed out on seeing a lot of these, but they all look great from the both of you. XD I'm also sorry what happened Prudence. >,<; looks kinda like what happened to my Magic Spa Sophie. I wish they're still around in the stores I go to, but they're mostly gone. TT,TT;
I just finished popping out some eyes and re inserting some, and now I have a new liv girl. :P Capri was getting lonely so I made her a new best friend. I'd show pictures of the both of them together, but I ran out of cotton balls and had her borrow Capri's Belly for her shots.
A Hayden with Daniela eyes!
I shall name her: Makayla!

I'm also debating whether I should keep the vest on or not.

I wonder if the Spa girls are more prone to this? I wish so badly we had more collectors so we could try and figure things like this out. XP
Oh wow, Makayla is gorgeous! I want a Daniela whose eyes I can swap now urg damn you. xD I really like the vest and brunette hair, but I'm biased on both accounts.
Tomorrow a new Liv girl should be arriving (original Katie I think), and I'll be stealing her body for my floating MW Hayden head. I'll probably steal her eyes, maybe pull out the ruined eye and hot glue in the floating head and give her nice side-facing eyes. I have no idea how to keep them in though. Hot glue can't really be removed from their eyes from what I've tried, and I don't want to ruin gorgeous Katie eyes.
-
Luvly, I LOVE Makayla! <3 The brown eyes look so nice with Hayden's pale skin.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to take any new pics lately. With school and all, I'm too busy to take any while the sun is still out >.< I wish there was a nice park around here, I could make a day of it on a Saturday, but they're all too crowded for doll pictures.

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*!*

Do barbie clothes fit liv?
I don't collect Liv, but I have a Liv body that I'm going to be using for a different doll, and I can say, yes, Barbie clothes fit very well! :) The shoes don't, of course, but the clothes look very nice on them.

Thanx you, PandaBerryInSpace. That's great news: second hand Barbie clothes are easy to come by. Do the flat skipper type shoes not fit Liv either then?

eBay, Amazon, or local stores if they haven't completely cleared out their Livs yet. The line has been discontinued, so if you can find them in stores, they're often on clearance and are very cheap.
Thankfully, it's only the very newest Liv dolls who don't have articulation, which would be the Liv Brites and the Liv for Color sets (no arm articulation and only a basic joint in the knees). There's also the sleepover set, but I'm not sure if they have the old joints or not; Taxel has one so she'll know, haha. The only other set missing stuff are the Twist and Dance dolls, which unfortunately were given a weird 'dancing' feature so they have no posability in their legs. But the original set of dolls, wave 2 (those ones come with dogs), Midnight Dance, School's Out, It's My Nature, Liv in Wonderland, Making Waves, and the Spa dolls all have joints in their hands, elbows, shoulders, feet, and a double joint in their knees c:
Unfortunately, I'm no expert on materials so I really wouldn't know if they're cheap or not xD But they're definitely made well.
-
I have the Sleepover LIV, and I think they pretty much have a basic knee and elbow joints, and hand joints. No foot joint. No double joints, and the right arm is kinda wonky due to the pillow fight mechanisim.
-
They aren't annoying questions. XP getting any question and people interested is better than having the thread get old. XD
I actually like the material that's used for the clothes. I wouldn't consider it cheap (Feels standard to me) and the clothes are nicely made and they actually look like clothes I'd usually wear, compared to everything on pink overdose. :P
As Tux said, only the last few lines that came out before they got discontinued have crap articulations, so if you find any of the old ones, get them!
-
-questions cut for space-
Some people have answered, but I'll give some opinions/answers as well. :)
For me, Amazon has been the cheapest. If you can still get the free shipping trial thing, get that! With that I got a Liv for $7 and free shipping, and another for $13ish and free shipping. I also saw tons and tons, with and without free shipping, for very cheap. I've heard some TRUs have Making Waves dolls (the ones in swimsuits) for sale for $7, but my TRU didn't have that sale last I checked. TRU (online, last I checked, and stores) also have accessory packs for $1.
Like others said Sleepover Party, Twist and Dance, Brites, and Liv for Color all have different articulation. I have a Sleepover Party girl and many normal girls. Like Aellos said the "pillow throwing" arm is a bit wonky. However I can still pose mine pretty well and in my opinion the "BBE" eyes make up for the different joints. The closing eyes add a LOT of personality and emotion that the normal girls just don't have. The normal girls are fine with emotions and such, don't get me wrong, but the closing eyes and real eyelashes just add a whole lot and its easier to get certain emotions with them in photos.
You can actually put your Papin on a Liv body, if you want to keep her. Her body would be a lot sturdier. I've never had a problem carrying my Pullips or Livs around town for photos, but Livs are better at posing compared to my Pullips. As for Pullip clothing, it really depends. I tried some on my Sleepover Party girl before and I remember some of it fit okay, some she couldn't be moved in, and some would never fit.
I don't know what you consider cheap material, but every Liv outfit I have/have had (around 16) was great quality. The only bad pieces I've ever encountered are the robes that come with the Spa Makeover dolls, and those robes are TERRIBLE! Even the apron that I got in the $1 (usually $5) accessory pack is great quality.
Barbie clothes most definitely fit! I've got a few girls that wear Barbie clothes 24/7, and a bunch of outfits my girls have tried on and such. Barbie accessories also look like they're the perfect size. I have two Barbie babies (one is a fakie), and they're absolutely perfect. However I only have older clothing/accessories, from the mid to late 90's and early 00's. I also know that Bratz boy tops are perfect.
-
I THOUGHT I was done with LIVs after finding my completer doll (LIV for Color Alexis) but the Twist and Dance dolls are calling me. I think it's them. I saw a line of dolls with "interesting" make-up in store awhile ago. Are the Twist and Dance dolls the only line like that? Should have paid closer attention......
-
Yeah, only the Twist and Dance girls have fancy makeup. I want T&D Daniela (with Katie's eyes!) and Sophie plus all of the clothes, but I'd need body donors for them. XP
-
Yeah, I'm still cross about the Twist and Dance bodies. T&D Sophie is one of my favorite Liv girls ever, and I really like Daniela too c: The only one I don't really like is Alexis, her eyeshadow and wig are nice but the lips are WAY too bright for her skin tone o.O
-
T&D are definitely my favorite line after Wonderland. I LOVE how they finally started to experiment with crazy makeup.
Yesterday I got more Liv things! An original Katie, a wig, and some various clothing/accessories. I popped off Katie's head and now my floating MW Hayden finally has a body! The jacket doesn't match her skirt at ALL (but looks awesome with her hair), however its the best I've got for now. Eventually I'll commission someone to do a faceup on the Katie head, something wild and fantasy, but who knows when I'll be able to afford that or a body.

@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*~

"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."
I have seen a total of one makeup issue in a store, and my online dolls have been perfect. Do NOT be afraid of wonky eyes! They are an insanely easy fix unless you have one of the original dolls, in which case its harder but still easy and very doable.
"Has anyone put a sleepover liv head on an orig body? Are head swaps pretty simple?"
None of us have tried, and we're not sure if it would work because of the BBE mechanism. Normal head swaps are very easy, except with original girls because they have much harder heads (but its still easy to do, just requires more patience and strength).
"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."
If it remember right the shirt was just as crazy! I wish I still had it. The pockets are so fun.
"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?"
No, they're not. The white girls all look VERY similar but if you have nude dolls or even just a bunch of nude legs next to each other you can see slight differences. Daniela is more obviously tan, but still pretty light. "Light" Alexis and "Dark" Alexis are completely different. I've even seen proof that Making Waves Alexis has crazy skintone variations!
"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?"
Alexis would not look right on another body, you'd have a dark tan or chocolate brown head on a white or light tan body. Wouldn't work. I imagine Daniela would need to be on a Daniela body, but the others should be interchangeable (like now I have a Hayden on an original Katie body, and you can't tell). Their bodies are what show the skintone differences the most, and even that isn't much.
"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."
Unfortunately, there isn't a pale girl at all. They're all generic white, if that makes sense? None of the white girls are at all pale or tan really, just different undertones I think. But if you want bright blue eyes I suggest original Sophie, her eyes are the brightest blue. All other Sophies have lighter blue eyes, and they look like broken glass/ice. Not very realistic imo. I can post a comparison photo if you want!
"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."
I've got two mismatch eye girls (twins), and Luvly has just one I believe. I'm not sure about anyone else. And the green with the striped shirt is one of mine. :) Mismatch eyes are really fun! But for the eyes I used it can be a challenge to get them to look just right in photographs, especially if they're wildly different. I want a few more mismatch eye girls, but with subtler eyes. I actually considered selling the mismatch girl with the striped top because her eyes can be so difficult, especially with her makeup and lack of a wig for now.
"You all have a lot of dolls to keep straight. I tho I wuld never like Liv either, but now I do."
You can say that again! I have, what, 20 now? xD I didn't think I'd like Liv either and passed them over SO MANY times at the store. I didn't even give them a second glance! But after Luvly linked to a blog with an amazing review of them and their epic articulation I was hooked.
-
I've decided I'm not going to customise my Liv girl, I've kind of sat with her and dressed her etc and....she just doesn't do it for me :( She's in my trade list (see siggy) if anyone is interested in her.

All that talk about eye swaps last night got me eager to do some more! And man my fingers hurt, haha. Last night I decided to give Hayden my spare Katie's eyes. First we have how she looked before, then after! And then we have the weird purple paint inside her eye skin. o.O

Liv Eye Swap Tutorial.
Spoiler
First you'll need three things: a wigless Liv doll (can be naked or clothed), some sort of long tool that fits in the neck hole, and a hair dryer. Some have had success using extremely hot or boiled water, but water has never worked for me.
visitors can't see pics , please
register or
loginTurn the hair dryer on. I use high because ours is dying and only turns on for 15ish seconds at a time. Focus the heat on the back of the head right above the neck, but I've found it helpful to get some heat around the entire neck and over the eye area.
visitors can't see pics , please
register or
loginOnce the head is headed, secure the body and squeeze the head at the back above the neck. Bend the head forwards. You may need to push up on the bottom of the head (using your fingers or tool) or even apply more heat to the area. Some heads pop off easier than others, and original girls will give you more trouble than the others.
visitors can't see pics , please
register or
loginImmediately after the head is off, move to (or already be in) an area with no or minimal areas you can loose the eyes. Insert your tool and push on the back of the eyes until the eyeballs pop out. If you are worried, know that this (http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w465/ShortAxelMLP/Tutorials/IMG_5179.jpg) is how the inside of the heads look. Those weird protruding circles of "skin" are what keeps the eyes in place, and they are VERY STRONG in my experience. I use a sharpish screwdriver and have never had it harm them. I used the screwdriver to remove one eye back once, and it took a LOT of force and was insanely difficult.

register or
loginAfter you get the eyes out, look at the back of them. If the pegs inside the eyes stick out past the edge of the eye whites, look at the next tutorial down in this post on how to fix it. Those pegs can make it impossible to put the eyes back in through the front. If your eyes don't have long pegs, take a break and then move on!

register or
loginUse your tool to carefully maneuver the eyes into place. Once the eyes are almost perfect you can squish the head to move them around a bit (this trick can also help with wonky eyes if you don't want to pop off her head). Sometimes they'll fall into place almost perfectly on their own, but other times you'll spend quite a while on one single eye. This can get very exhausting, so don't be afraid to take breaks if you need it!

Liv Pegged Eye Sanding Tutorial.
Spoiler
You will need: eyes with long pegs, toilet paper/paper towel/etc (optional), and a nail file OR sandpaper. I do not have the money to buy sandpaper, so I use a nail file thingy.

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}

Congrats! Which one did you get? :)

Yay! Got my roller skating and breakfast accessory sets!
First, the roller skating set. It is BEYOND amazing. All of the pads fit great (a little hard to get on at first, but they stayed on well) and Hayden could bend really well while wearing them. The wheels on the skates actually move! I was amazing. I would pay $5 for the accessory set for that alone. I didn't try the helmet on a girl with hair, but it should fit fine (its too big without a wig). The water bottle and energy bars are super cute too.

The actual breakfast stuff is really great. Everything about it is awesome. I wouldn't pay the full $5 for the set, but I'd happily pay $3 or so.

Here she is!! Is she a Daniela? =D
First we tried on a recent/new body type Barbie outfit to find out how well it'd fit.
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
The shirt is a tight fit and the seams looked stressed with the velcro lined up right, but it holds just fine when you do the velcro half way.
The sleeves of this top are elasticized and it's never been worn by anyone before. Liv arms fit, but snugly. I had to nuge the sleevs upward to get them to puff, but it wasn't hard to do.
Th.e skirt fits fine with velcro lined up proper. It's stiff and gets turned around way too easy, but it does that on barbie & obitsu just as much. I need to glue a rubber band in it.
She's been admiring Monster High fashion poses i guess & arched her back for this shot which reveals a bit of tummy.

Watching Supernatural. Dulcette does not do poses well atall except for floppin down. Getting her to sit up was a stuggle, so excuse her for having her crotch to the cam; she's really quite modest.

That thing they're sittin on is full of shoes and none fit Liv. HALP~!~what shoes do??
my liv girl has only met Dulcette so far. and she hasn't told me her name. the bond hasnt happened yet, but I luv her & luv liv. My boyfriend was in the dolls lookin for a specific Flora(winx club); the only one he wants, but no luck, so we got some lovely consolation prizes & he got a mini Flora whose outfit seems to have missed a round of paint makin her purf fur custom. He dug a Spa Sophie out of the clearance section of target; there was a Wonderland Rabbit Liv, but she cost more and her box was so messed up he had no idea if she was even complete. I haven't opened her yet, but am so excited to pit her makeup on! It's crazy to think, but I haven't had a color change makeup doll since Lil Miss Makeup! My bf also got a really cool Stardoll fashion set. We don't know what it'll fit, but it looks like etwas Lady Gaga would wear so he could not pass that up on clearance. The Stardolls were the same price as the fasion sets @ $7 but we never liked them much so pass.
Haven't had a chance to open those target goodies yet. I'll prolly post when I do, if that's ok.

Those are great pictures. XP From what I see, she's Making Waves Daniela! Barbie dresses seem to fit fine from what I experienced. I have 3 of the $2-3 dresses they have with no shoes or anything extra. Not too sure about the shoes though. >,<;
Spa Makeover Sophie is one of my favorites. She's the one I used to turn into Capri! and the color changing is so fun to mess around with especially when it's really cold and you take her out she's already got pink lips. XD
I haven't been in picture a taking mood lately. Swamped with school and such.

I love the shoes in both those packs:) I wish they fit my dolls. I do have a few LIVs but I think I'm gonna be putting their heads onto MH bodies. All my LIVs have the cheapo body type, and I'm not liking them. At least this way my LIVs and MH dolls can clothes swap ;)

Man I need that bowling accessory pack! Its so awesome.
My boyfriend and I went to California recently to visit some relatives, and my Livs got a few new things!

Wow Taxel those chairs look great too! At first I thought the dress was gonna be my favorite, but all of them look too cute. As for the Calico Critters, Lucky!! I wanted to collect them, but gheeze the prices are so scary high. If there's one thing I like about CCs are the houses they have for them! If they're the same size as G4 ponies, their houses would make awesome homes for them! :P
-
Awesome accessories! I love grabbing themed things, like those perfect pumpkins. Those LIV accessory packs are fabulous!
-
Yeah, Calico Critters are crazy expensive but man are they worth it. I most plan to collect the babies since I can use them as props with my dolls, but I want a full family or two as well. Their houses and accessories though. . .yeahhhh. Probably never gonna happen, lol.
So here the dust is insanely bad. A few months covers everything in so much dust it looks like it wasn't touched in years. This is obviously a problem with styled doll hair, so last night I pulled back out as many dolls and ponies that would fit in my new display and we covered the front with saran wrap. Normally I'd never make a display so crowded, so its kinda bugging me, but they're safe from dust and that's more important. :D

Hey, guys, anypne looking fro a specicifc doll? My Zellers has TONS of LIV and they're all going on liquidation because Zellers is closing! I can keep an eye for you if you want.
-
Do they have any wigs, accessory packs, or outfits? :)
-
lol 2nded! Wigs, accessories and outfits!
That looks like a good idea to keep dust out Taxel! I also forgot!
A long while ago I took pictures of these:
If you have a Uwajimaya in your area, check them out!
Only downside, They're pretty pricey. Just a single eraser would cost you a whole dollar. =_=; So I say save up a jar of coins and cash them in only to buy a whole bunch of these erasers. XP
-
Unfortunately, they only had dolls. My Zellers never carried any of the wigs or fashion packs.

Totally highjacking this thread to ask this... Did they have any Moxie Girlz stuff? It's pretty much all gone here in Michigan :( We didn't even get the horse riding stuff.

I found a Liv at Goodwill with a bunch of accessories. How much is 1 nude Liv worth? She's blonde, blue eyed, with bubblegum pink lipstick. She's she's cute, but, just not my cup of tea.
-
Not much, but if she's the original Sophie she may be worth more (at least I know I'd be willing to pay more) because of her eyes. If she has a wig she'd probably go for more. But in general I haven't seen them go for much and am not personally willing to pay much (since totally nude needs clothes, and shoes, and wig). If you post a photo we could ID her for you. :3
-
This is her. I know nothing about these dolls, so I can't tell you if she's a Sophie or not. If sold, she'd come with the wig she's wearing, and her shoes. My niece wants the clothes for her MH dolls.

Her face definitely looks like original Sophie (same with her clothes and wig) but her eyes have been switched to later release Sophie eyes. Her shoes and earrings seem to be alternate original Sophie ones (mine has silver earrings and white shoes with more detail, and I'm seeing both on Flickr being called original Sophie's outfit).
Since she was slightly customized, which body does she have? Here (http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w465/ShortAxelMLP/Dolls/IMG_5450.jpg) and here (http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w465/ShortAxelMLP/Dolls/IMG_5453.jpg) are comparisons, the left is the original release body and the right is a newer body.
-
It looks like the newer body, as she has panties embossed on.
-
That's the first release Sophie in most of her stock outfit, but there's something really different with this one. The eyes are the later ones with the shattered glass look her shoes and earrings are a different color too. Mine also has silver earrings and white shoes with more detail.
If her eyes were the original ones, I wouldn't mind paying a little extra but if she's nude with her wigs and a few accessories I would guess about 7ish? My ballpark guess.
-
Well, if it's her original stock, how much would she be with her clothes? The shirt and tights are very clean and white, no stains, and smells nice.
-
I assume about $10, maybe a little more. I've never bought one online off ebay, so I don't know the average price range exactly. >,<;
-
I paid around $20 for original Sophie (with correct eyes) and Katie with more stock pieces basically brand new. That was a great deal, so I agree with Luvly's $10 estimate. I'd be willing to pay that if I was after her. Especially since she has the newer body, which I personally just like more (although the pelvis is the only difference). But I also don't know how they sell on eBay or anything like that.
-
Here she is with everything I think is hers. If anyone is interested in her, shoot me a PM. No one in my family has these dolls, and it would be a real shame to have her sit in my garage as next years yard sale fodder. Also interested in a trade. I do like MH dolls.
Forgive the background mess, I'm in the middle of rearranging a bedroom. Break time for me!

-casually creeps into thread-
I saw some Livs at my local Ross store (I do believe they were the newer kind that isn't as well articulated, though) and... I could not get myself to buy them. I kinda like them but at the same time I don't. I like the Bratzillaz more, and that's coming from someone who hates Bratz. I guess I just don't like the way their faces are proportioned- they look really good in shots when they're not looking into the camera, lol, at least that's what I've noticed.
I do have the odd urge to try and find an African American one in an attempt to bring one of my original characters to life as a doll... This is a bad idea but I want to do it so bad now! So I suppose I'll go check eBay and Amazon and see if I can find any! Curse this thread for finally making me kinda want one! XD
-
Oooh, I love your girl Aellos! And I'm so jealous of her wig. Is it the ponytail Liv wig or another type?
Hello there Purple! That's a pretty awesome icon you've got there. :3 If you're iffy about them, definitely don't even bother wasting your money on one with low articulation. Except for maybe a Sleepover Party girl, they have BBE eyes and "pillow throwing" (which I just call a karate chop). The closing eyes and eyelashes help with a lot of the face/eye issues for me. I know Alexis was released in SP but I don't know if she was light or dark skinned (she came in multiple skin tones depending on the set, and the Making Waves version has been seen in multiple shades too).
But if you're interested in a Liv, now's the time to buy! They're incredibly cheap in a lot of places since stores want to get rid of them. And if you end up not liking her, we'll be here! If you end up with a dark skinned Alexis and don't want her, I promise I'll buy her from you if I have the funds. xD I need one for an eye swap.
-
I actually can't remember! I got it a while back for one of my CAM monsters but it kept changing girls. I mostly got it because it was red. Then I came across this Katie and it was just perfect! :D
EDIT: Looked it up, it is the ponytail one. :D It's got more red than brown, and the bangs are almost shaped like it. I've reshaped the wig a little, so it's hard to tell.
-
Aw thanks Taxel! I have to say it is one of my most random icons XD that bbe eyes feature actually sounds like a really neat idea, I'll look up the SP Alexis and see if her skin tone is close enough to what I'm thinking. I suppose I could deal with some karate chopping XD kinda fits the character anyways.
If I do find one I like and cave in and buy her, I'll be sure to post her for sale here if I find I just can't bond with her. Hasn't happened to me really with a doll yet though, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. :)
-
Aellos - Would you say it looks like a naturalish red, or does it look more like an "obvious dye job" type color, or does it look pretty brown? I've never seen it in person and I'm really curious about it. It either looks kinda natural red or super brown in all the photos I've seen, which doesn't really help.
Literally the one thing Spinmaster didn't do was pay any attention to redheads. >.< There are like 3 red wigs total, and none look very natural in photos (or in real life, for the ones I've seen). One is bright cherry red, one is red with toooons of black/dark brown streaks, and then there's the ponytail one with brown streaks. XP
/pissed off ginger rant
Purple - Honestly the karate chopping makes her more fun, but maybe that's just me. Though really I want to get two so my boyfriend and I can play ninja fighting with them. xD
Hopefully it doesn't happen! We need more Liv owners, haha.

HRRm.
Well, it's definately more of an auburn with the brownish streaks in it.
And as you can tell by my photos, the light can easily just make it look like a light brown instead.
It's MUCH redder in real life, but it's definately more auburn than a ginger red.
If that makes sense?
-
Wow that wig is gorgeous on her!!! XD I wish I had a red wig now. :P The only one I have is that stupidly bright neon red from the Liv for Color one from Daniela and I do not like it much.
Ahh now I'm wanting a ginger Liv doll to make an older sister for my Moxie Girlz Kellan!! XD
Purple you should get a Liv doll if you find one in-store, especially if it's one of the good articulated ones! I felt the same about Liv Dolls when I saw them too. XD Their faces looked to creepy to like or even want, but after looking at them over and over while searching for MH Dolls, I've grown to their faces and actually find them cute now and I love them!! :P
-
Aellos - That definitely makes sense. I might have to try and nab that wig one day.
Luvly - Yes, have a ginger Liv! Poor Kellan needs a big sis!
-
A few days back I decided to take some photos by a lamp I'd been meaning to try out. Its not the best and there's no way to hide the clutter next to it, so it didn't really work out well.

Taxel which Liv is that? I just got her yesterday in a bag from a charity shop with a couple of wigs. And is that her original cardy? The one I got yesterday didn't have the cardy but a few weeks ago I received a doll and a few bits, one of which was that cardy...
-
That's original Katie in her stock. :3 She also came with two wigs (brown ponytails and a short brown one with green streaks), blue and white sneakers, a blue beanie, a pink scarf, a blue bag, a blue watch, and a wig holder head thing.
-
I LOVE that green sweatshirt! I don't know what it is about green....... Those pictures make the texture look amazing! Looks nice and soft:)

Cool, thank you :) Looks like I have her almost complete then - she has both wigs (although the ponytail one was a rats nest so I brushed it out) blue head thing, jewelry, not the beanie, scarf of bag though.
I kind of wanted to customise her a little...is she sought after or can I hack away?
-
grzankitter - Isn't it lovely? I adore that sweater!
Pinkamena - I'm not sure how sought after she is, but I'd say you should be fine customizing her. Though I'm biased because I really dislike her eye makeup. xD I've had a rough time dealing with my girl's. I've even got a spare original Katie head I plan to have customized. At least I think I do? I can't check right now.
But since she's original, her head is MUCH harder than other Liv heads. It'll most likely be a pain to get her head off and take out her eyes (as well as re-inserting eyes through the front), but its definitely doable. Just might involve colorful language and frustration. xD
-
That'll be one to give to my OH to hack up then :D Thanks for he info :)
Do you know where I can get 10mm round eyes from? I cannot for the life of my find any in the UK, all the ones in the US have extortionate shipping. Or are the oval eyes OK to fit if you totally remove the rubber that holds them in place? I'm thinking of just painting over her eyes rather than get the ones I wanted. Will probably look kack though.
-
I'm not actually sure where to get eyes. Have you tried eBay and Etsy? I've seen tons of eyes on those sites. Any type of eye big enough to cover the whole eye hole should be fine if you remove the "skin", I imagine. But I haven't been able to buy some eyes and try it myself.
But as a warning, do NOT use hot glue to secure Liv eyes after removing the eye skin. It doesn't really come off and I basically ruined an eye trying that. >.< I don't know if the same problem exists for other types of eyes.
-
The shipping for loads of eyes is extortionate :( I haven't tried Etsy yet, will have a look :)
Thanks for the heads up about the hot glue - that is the first thing I would have tried! Oh and I have started a new thread of two girls that just...stayed...if you fancy a peek :D
-
I need to feel better so I can get better pics of my girls. I have my trio. :D
-
Can anyone tell me please what other makes of shoe fit Liv dolls? I can find very little info online *grumbles* I understand Barbie Fashionista and Stardoll shoes fit, as do MH, but what else? Normal Barbie fashion pack shoes? We have loads of those packs here, the clothes fit great.
-
Other than those 3, I'm not too sure. As for normal barbie shoes, I don't think they would fit Livs because if I can remember, I read that they have smaller feet compared to Livs.
As for the eyes, taking out and putting them back in is good enough because the eye socket is secure and holds when it cools down from the heat. As to where to get them, I have no clue.
-
I don't know about anything Barbie, but I know Liv shoes fit Tangkous so Tangkou shoes might fit Livs? I can try later. :3
-
That would be great, thank you :)
-
I have officially joined the Liv craze :D

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Large-Lot-LIV-DOLLS-WIGS-STANDS-CLOTHES-ACCESSORIES-Spin-Master-/330825738129
I just won that, can somebody identify those dolls for me?
I have 3 other than those ones, Making Waves Katie, Original (I think, thrift find) Hayden and Midnight Dance Katie :)

I'm glad to see more people slowly getting bitten by the Liv bug. XD Welcome!
And holy wow that's a big lot!! and for that price with all those accessories, clothes, AND WIGS, Lucky!!
Lets see who you have.
From left to right, I see an Alexis, 2 Danielas, Sophie and Katie. I can't tell which versions you have of any of them, there are a lot of mixed clothes from all kinds of Liv dolls and fashion packs, not too sure which ones, but I've seen pictures of them elsewhere.
I also see various accessories from a lot of the playsets. That really is great lot you got for 36$
-
I was so excited! It's in New York, so I'll have to wait :(
I thought it was such an AMAZING deal, I blew my potluck money for Thanksgiving... :blush:

Found that hat Minty won. $17 on Ebay :shocked: Also found that green hoodie (not sure I want it, but saw it) for $20, I think. Ebay makes me so sad :cry:
Everytime I see something I like, I can "buy in now" for five times what it's worth, or I can scroll through 100 pages of stuff to find what I want, and fight for it in a bidding war (over a large lot of stuff I don't want :lol:)
I think I've seen a Bratz hat similar to Minty's, but I can't find that one easily either. That is, unless I want to spend $20. I wonder if alot of people shop piece meal on Ebay? Those people that sell hats for $20 must make a crap load of money!

They're worth that much!? O.O
I just wanted a bunch of clothes and all of the dolls :P
I don't know if I'll sell them, though, as they're very cute!
-
I'll admit, the clothes they made for Liv dolls are amazingly realistic to clothes you'd expect teens to wear today. Maybe even out of all the clothes in other doll lines in general, I like Liv's because they look like clothes you'd see people wear in general, unlike Barbie's which is a complete overload of pink and yellow. >,<;

I think I might actually have a double of that green hoodie if you want me to check. I know I have some doubles of that doll's stock. I wouldn't charge you $20, haha.
-
Thanks for the offer, Taxel. I'm not sure I want it, though. I'm torn. I don't think it'll fit any of my dolls, so what do I need it for? Because it's so darn cool! That's why:) See. Torn.
I think I'll pass (for now :lol:) If I ever change my mind, I'm sure someone, if not you, will help me out. Ebay gets me down, that's all.
Also, I wouldn't say these items are "worth" that much, Minty. It's just how much the crazies on Ebay demand for the items. I don't think I could pay more than a couple dollars for a doll hat......

I wouldn't pay over $5 unless it was a hat made out of gold for a doll @.@
Ebay is insane, but sometimes I get lucky :) I much prefer thrift stores, though!
-
Does anyone please have a link to a good site where I can see the different Liv fashion packs? :)
-
Would anyone be interested in these Liv girls? They are complete minus their wigs. :)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
(I also have the one in the red dress) I was thinking $5 each for these?
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
I was thinking $10 for her?
If anyone is interested please feel free to PM me. I want them gone!
-
So much yes but postage will be a killer :(
-
I wish I could but I just spent $40 on Livs *hides in corner*
-
I am definitely willing to debox if anyone wants. :) Are those prices okay?
-
$10 is super fair for Alexis (I'd be all over her if I had enough money, I LOVE the Red Queen version), and I think the Color ones are also fair but I just really don't like Color dolls, lol.
-
I'm with Taxel, the Red Queen is so cute, and I would love the colored ones, but who's bright idea was it to rid them of their articulation, which is their BEST feature :doh:
They are great prices as well :)

:o That's an amazing lot, congrats!
And I took a stab at identifying which dolls are in there, and I think, from left to right, it's: 2nd series Alexis (the set that came with plastic dogs), Midnight Dance Daniela, original Daniela, original Sophie, and original Katie. And there's accessories/clothing from other dolls mixed in there, too, like I see most of It's My Nature Hayden's stuff. Your going to have so much fun when that package arrives xD

Thank you for the IDs, I'll take prettier pictures of them when they arrive :)
I lost one of the other lots, but they did have others, most likely the ones that go to the outfits :)

Mom- "Brooke, you got a package, but you have to wait until christmas!"
Me- "WHAT!?!"
Mom- "Ordering things on my account ... you know better!"
Me-"Huh..?"
(We go to argue, I explain the thing, and remind her of the money I gave her, she proceeds to give it back, and tell me that the package is for Christmas now...)
Meh, at least I have something to look forward too, and she gave the money back.
I have a good present-getting thing going. Gifts from her come before Christmas (no clue how early, though)
I don't know if I should be mad, as my mom probably just doesn't know what to give me, so just waited for my next package.
So... Pictures in December :/

I *may* have found some more Livs on eBay...But these are the only Livs I am having, unless I find one stupidcheap at a charity shop again or a bootsale...

CUTE!! Love love love them!! (: Can't WAIT until Christmas :D
-
So I have a question o3o a few, actually
Since most Barbie clothes fit them, do Barbie tights fit Liv dolls? I have some footed tights in fun colors like hot pink and seafoam green and I'd really like to use them in some cute outfits on a Liv doll but... Well that's if they fit, lol. Also Liv feet are too big for Barbie/My Scene shoes aren't they? :blink:
And I'm gonna take a guess and say Barbie gloves wouldn't fit them? A Liv arm seems a tad bigger than a Barbie one...
-
Barbie tights fit Livs! :D If I remember correctly, the ones I tried on a Liv were a bit big when she was standing up, but still fine and fit perfect when she was sitting.
-
Dang it sucks that your mom took your package hostage. >,<; Now you won't be able to enjoy them until Christmas, I wouldn't trip about it though. :hug:
Ugh a few days ago I saw a Dance in the Moonlight Daniella MIB at ROSS Going for $8, I wanted to get it so bad, but didn't have the cash at that moment, and when I did get the money to go back and get her, she was gone. TT,TT; Oh well, hopefully the little girl who gets her will enjoy her.
As for the gloves and leggings, I has no clue. I'd assume they fit since they are clothes exchangeable.

Anyone is Texas, here's a bunch for a good deal ;)
-
I got my first Liv today - Making Waves Daniela. This is a pretty big step for me as a Moxie Teenz fan, but she's so pretty, and I really like her and how articulated she is. I don't know what her name is going to be yet, but I got her on clearances at TRU so no regrets here.
-
If I were to get a Making Waves doll, it would be that one. I love her suit/outfit<3 Congrats!

Congrats! She's lovely. :D
-
Aww she's gorgeous!! Making Waves Daniela is practically one of the best (and my personal favorite) Daniela dolls who has an AWESOME faceup!!
Is that red jacket from a Moxie Teen?? Looks amazing! How big are they compared to Liv Doll??
-
Moxie Teenz are much bigger! I didn't expect Tristen to be *that* much bigger, even when I had her in my hands, but putting them together shocked me.

Wow they are big. They make Livs look like Moxie Girlz and Moxie Teens look like Livs. lol
(omg if I get a Moxie Teenz, I wonder if they'd make the perfect doll size to be a mother figure for the other 2)
-
Thanks, guys!

It's not from a Moxie Teen...I got it in a lot of Barbie clothes...but that's all I know about it.
What's funny is the MTs are supposed to be only two inches taller than Livs...but when you factor shoes and stuff into it it's even more.
-
The 2 inches was exactly why I didn't expect it to be so bad. And when she seemed massive in her box? Well duh of course she was in a box! But wow it made such a huge difference. I got Tristen in July and still can't hold her "properly" because I'm not used to her size yet.
I think a Teen would make a good mother for a Liv or a Girl. I could take a comparison photo of all three if you like. :3
-
Ahhh, it might tempt me to search for one if it works well! >,<
....Do it!! XD
-
I tried to take some motherly photos, but I didn't do that well. xD Teenz aren't as articulated as Livs and I'm not used to their jointing (and couldn't see any of it with her sleeves and tights), so I'm sure with practice and some actual effort it'd look better.

I love your photos Taxel! :heart:
wow, Tristen seems so huge! I never thought Moxie Girlz are so small compared to Teenz :O I have recently started to long for a Moxie Girl (originally I wasn't interested in them, as they are not articulated and can't change wigs, but in the end I fell in love with their faces), and I thought I should get one who could be my Tristen's little sister. now I guess that wouldn't really work...
-
Aw thanks! :D
I didn't even realize/know the Girls are so much smaller, I've never put the two together and I was really shocked when I stood them all up like that. I didn't really like the Girls before either (still not a huge fan), but I couldn't say no to the a True Hope one.

That Moxie is huuuuuuuuuuuuge compared to the Liv....never realised they'd be that much of a size difference.
-
Now that the Bratzillaz have been around long enough that people are experimenting with them, I was wondering if anyone has seen a LIV with Bratzillaz eyes?
I found this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/47641154@N06/8182099604/in/photostream/ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/47641154@N06/8182099604/in/photostream/)
but it's the opposite of what I would like to do :wonder:
After seeing that picture, does anyone have any opinions on how an eye swap the OTHER way would look? Also, if someone happens to have a picture, or link, or knows someone who has done it, anything(!) feel free to post:)
-
I would love my Livs to have different eyes - I saw some for sale in the US, they had ones with hearts, rainbow iris, stars, but P&P to the UK was ridiculously extortionate, so never bothered in the end.
-
Oooh, that actually looks really pretty!
Judging by how the Liv eyes look in her, my guess is the iris would be huge (might even take up the entire eye) so that could work fine if that's what you're going for. And it would definitely be possible to put any other eyes in a Liv, you may just have to cut open the head and remove the "eye skin" holding the eyes in place. I have a Liv with a cut open head and her wig stays on just fine, by the way. :3
-
I was afraid someone would say the iris would look huge :lol: I was thinking the same thing, but I wanted another opinion. Darn. The big iris look was not what I had in mind!
I'm not a fan of the Bratz head/sculpt. The lips and nose bother me. But I MUST have the Bratzillaz eyes! They are so pretty. I wanted the best of both worlds, LIV face, Bratz eyes. I'll figure something out!
-
Ooo the size of the 3 are perfect for a family, but the thought of articulation completely skipped my mind. >,<;
As for the BZ Eyes in Liv heads, I wanna see that, but I'd assume either they'd be too big to fit the eye sockets because the eye looked like there was some eye socket space remaining in the BZ, OR the iris would also take up the whole eye. XD
-
Guess what wig I got for Christmas! 8D I don't have a clue what I'll do with it yet, and haven't opened it, but I'm so thrilled that I have it.

I had the one you've got on Jude(?) on my wishlist, but didn't get it for Christmas:(
Your beautiful redhead is Jude, right? Or is that the name of the blonde? I'm terrible with names:) But I do LOVE the redhead's wig!
-
Awww, I'm sorry. That bites! D: I didn't really expect to get the wig (I had to make up a last minute wishlist for my uncle so he knew where to order what I wanted, and the wig was one of the small "if you want me to having something to open on Christmas" things), but I opened it and was so beyond thrilled. I didn't think I'd be able to ever get it!
And yep, Jude is the redhead. I can't believe anyone would remember! xD
-
Every time I hear Hey Jude playing, your pictures pop into my head. :P You're lucky you found that wig still in store. >,<; Everywhere I go now, there are no more Liv stuff, not even TRU, which is sad to see everything gone now TT,TT
Don't think I forgotten about My Liv gals! I may have been concentrated on MH for a while, but this Christmas, I got some clothes for Capri. :P
As well as other crafting stuff to make for her.
-
Haha yay! :D The wig was actually bought on Amazon, it was like $9 without shipping. On the expensive side but I decided it was worth it to put it on my list anyways. I haven't gone to TRU in quite some time, and last time I was at Target (also quite a while ago) there wasn't any Liv stuff.
Congrats on the new outfits! They're gorgeous.

so cute luv!
where can you buy wigs? i just bought a doll and want to give her to my niece.
-
You could buy them at Target, TRU, and Fred Meyer for sure (in my experience). However Livs were discontinued a while back so its getting harder and harder to find them in stores. Amazon and eBay both have a decent selection still, last I checked.
-
target no longer carries them in store and tru is clearancing all the stuff out. (good time to go)
never heard of the third place.
i'll try amazon. thank you!
-
We now have another option for kids! :D
Cabbage Patch Kids minis! $3.99 at TRU. They have a secret gender and name, which is so adorable. But beware of paint defects! There weren't many left in the store and they all had errors of some kind, even the two I ended up with. One even had a pretty nasty paint error (http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8231/8437022536_520459bc82.jpg) that could not be seen while in the box. They do not have any head mobility and have eyes that catch the light a decent amount, which can be annoying. But I'm still THRILLED with them and think they were worth every penny!!! I'm going back for two more in a few days. :3

how cute!!
question.
does anyone know if the plastic can be dyed or how hard it is to change the eyes?
-
Aww those pictures are so darling!! Their heads are pretty big, but that's expected from CPKs. :P
Answer:
The dying I'm not too sure about, BUT changing eyes, it isn't THAT hard, it's just a little tricky at first and very doable!
After a few times trying it, switching the eyes were a pretty good experience for my first try. Getting the eyes out were easy, getting them back in were a little tricky. I soaked mine in steaming hot water that got the head really soft, popped the heads off, and with the back of a pen or chopstick, I'd push to where the eyes were and gently push and *pop* an eye would come out.
Getting them back in is a little tricky but you just have to get them back into the socket while the head is still soft. Once the eyes are back in, it should adjust itself to how it was before.
-
awesome. think changing eyes will be easier route.
thanks!
-
Yeah, the big CPK heads can kinda get in the way sometimes (like some angles just look totally stupid), but I think the chibiness isn't too bad.
As for changing eyes, I never had luck with boiling water so I used a hair dryer. I made a tutorial here (http://mlparena.com/mlp/index.php/topic,303018.msg419695.html#msg419695) (also linked in the first post).

I have a correction, they can move their heads! It seems Leila's head was just very tight. I'm even more thrilled now! :D
-
So cute, Taxel!
Love all your little families<3 Which babies do you prefer, Barbie or CPK?
Good to see the LIV thread getting some action again:)
-
i'm totally a fan, though my puppy ate most of the only doll i have. need to get new ones. :cry:
-
Kitter - Thanks! :) I definitely prefer the Barbie babies. They're more proportional and natural looking, the CPKs look more like toys. However the CPKs still look really good with Livs, I just think they fit big-headed dolls better (Pullip, Blythe, Tangkou, etc; they look perfect with my Tangkou). But that not going to stop me from getting as many CPK babies as I can for all my Livs! Their much more varied features make up for the slightly wonky anatomy, imo.
Rosier - Aw, that sucks! D: I hope you can find another you like.
-
I recently became a Liv addict. Of course the line is now done! -_- Just my luck to find these awesome dolls when there will be no more. *sigh*
Plus, I am having the worst luck on ebay buying these dolls. I have been refunded by 2 different sellers this week. Both saying the dolls I bought were out of stock. :cry: This is the worst doll buying luck for me in... forever!
-
Have you tried Amazon? I haven't done any Liv shopping on eBay but my Amazon ones have been positive. When a seller ended up being a scammer and never sent out the doll, I got a refund in Amazon credit really really quickly and was able to buy the doll from someone else.
And I think a few people here are selling Livs? I think at least one is on a nice body, one is a dance, and one is a bright?
-
I really wanted to grab the Dance dolls but it was Christmas time and I probably shouldn't have been spending on myself. They were all marked down crazy cheap, but now they are back to regular retail :cry: Now I don't know what to do. They are VERY low priorities, and I'll always be upset I had to pay more than I could have....
Maybe I'll just let them go. OR maybe I'll stare at them some more on Ebay/Amazon :lol:
-
I really really REALLY want the Dance girls. I'd rebody them, but I love almost all of their stock and their more wild makeup is awesome. I doubt it'll happen though because that would be a rather expensive project. >.<
-
I only have one Liv doll, but I have no use for her. ;A; I do have to say that her hazel green eyes are lovely, though.
She's the Hayden that came with a long, light purple wig and an asymmetrical purple dress. I really only bought her so I could steal her wig and shoes for one of my MH girls. xD
-
That would be Liv For Color Hayden, with the new crappy body. You still might be able to sell her though.

Yeah, I noticed that most of the Livs I've seen on flickr are articulated, and mine is not. O:
-
I've got a few LiV's in my trade thread, I don't know much about them since I bought them as a lot off a yard sale for a few wigs for my Moxie Teen Girl custom.
Are they really being discontinued or am I reading this wrong? The wigs are perfect but the clothing wouldn't really fit my Moxie Teen.
-
I have a few Livs, but I honestly don't like their faces that much. All of the ones I have were picked up for the wigs and then body-swapped with Barbie. XD
Would anyone here be interested in the heads from the ones I body-snatched? No clue which ones they are, but I can get a picture if anyone's interested.
-
Are they really being discontinued or am I reading this wrong? The wigs are perfect but the clothing wouldn't really fit my Moxie Teen.
They've already been discontinued and have disappeared from most store shelves.
And Gryffindor, I'm sure someone would be interested! I know I would be if I had any extra money.
-
If I remember correctly, they were completely shut down during Fall if 2012? Any inventory they still had, they sent out to stores, but once it hit Fall 2012, everything was done, no more production, no more releases, nothing. >,<; From then on they slowly disappeared from store shelves on clearance, and once people found out their wigs fit MH dolls, they went away faster. :(
As of right now, I don't think I need any spare heads or eyes at the moment, but if you post pictures of what you have anyways, some people might be interested in buying some of them!
-
I'd be most interested in identification of the ones I do have, and I hope it's okay to post they are available for sale or trade? The green eyed one, I have had before and just can't recall her name.
I wanted the black and dark colored wigs from the huge lot I bought and these are what is left that I have no need for since I don't collect LiV. There are at least two more blonde wigs, but since I only need black wigs, these are of no use to me.
The Liv Wigs also fit Moxie Teens as long as you snip the wig peg off, but since my Moxie Teen girl will have a hole in her head ( to change eye colors and positions, she'll always have an open head cap so the peg is no issue )
These are the girls, the clothing won't fit my MT either, so I just took the dark wigs from the lot and have all this left.

Looks like first wave Daniela, Sophie, Alexis, and Katie. :) The striped white shirt & white pants go with Katie, the dress Alexis is in is her own, the red cropped jacket is Alexis', the tennis shoes are either Daniela's (black and pink) or Katie's (pink and purple), brown(?) boots are Alexis', the blonde wig is Sophie's, and the black wig seems to be Daniela's. I don't think anything else is their stock.
-
Thanks! I got an error with the second picture, so I took it down. >_<
I have another LiV girl around here somewhere.
I thought LiV's did well and wasn't expecting them to be discontinued so soon?
-
I thought so too given their epic bodies and awesome quality, but apparently not well enough. D:
-
With their SUPER amazing articulations, clothes designs, glass/clear eyes, amazing wigs, Flexibility in customization and body size/shape/proportions they had SOOOOOoooOoOoOOooOOOOO much potential and everything!!! but what the heck happened to make them get discontinued like that?!
Honestly, between the other dolls I collect (MH/MG) Liv is still my most favorite line and it's such a shame they ended so suddenly. Then again, if I can remember reading somewhere from Wikipedia, they first made their appearance in 08'/09?? a 3 year run.
*Snips from Wikipedia*
Released in summer 2012, La Dee Da is a new fashion brand set to replace Liv World, which is said to be discontinued in fall.

They really should've just "revamped" the Liv line, started releasing more unique lines. Like (more) fairy tales, monsters, aliens, ~extreme fashion~, etc. Maybe even introduced new characters to use more popular concepts.

I put some 14mm eyes in one of my girls today. :D
Size difference compared to a stock eye.

I had to take my boyfriend's pocket knife and shave off a LOT of plastic, the back "eye skin" and a ton all around the eye hole (obviously her head had to be cut open for this, but I did that a while ago). It took quite a while, was very messy, and she's still not perfect. These aren't her permanent eyes so I'm not too fussed about it. They still manage to look really nice, but as you can tell you can't see the whites of the eyes much. You can also very obviously tell how far back they have to sit from the side. They still manage to catch a bit of light, but its best to shine light directly into the face instead of overhead.

Wow! She looks neat:) I'm really impressed! Can't wait to see her "real" eyes:)
-
very cool!! never thought of customizing the eyes.
-
I probably won't decide on or order her eyes until my friend paints her for me. But I'll probably go with glowing Ersa Flora eyes. :3
-
Changing the eyes is tricky, but very rewarding. :P
So I Decided to bring this girl back out and changed some things about her!
She's gonna need a new name, but not sure what it should be. :huh:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Since she'll always be having a bang over her eye, having a crazy/evil eye hidden under it actually would be cool. XD
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Current ideas for her background:
She's just a new character who becomes friends with Capri one day visiting her and Lexa's family restaurant and visits occasionally and possibly become more than friends.
She's a volunteer for a Lamaze program who is assigned to be Capri's partner who she becomes friends with.
She's a photographer who becomes friends with Capri and uses Capri as her model for her pictures.
She's their other distant cousin who also comes to live with Lexa a little later after Capri and is evil, the opposite of Capri.
She's Capri's evil sister with a grudge out to get her for what happened to her other half of her face from an accident long ago.
This'll be fun to decide what to do with her. :lol:
-
Luvly, you are a nut:) I'd love to spend one day inside your head just to see all the wheels turning and stuff. How do you come up with all these crazy ideas???
I especially like the last two! If she's gonna have an evil eye, she should have a super cool evil backstory :evil laugh:
:heart:
-
I have 4 that haven't been moved to my new place yet but I love them and miss them XD
In the mean time I've been grabbing every single one I see at thrift stores (since it's Dollmageddon for our dear LIV girls) regardless of whether or not I may be snagging doubles. That being said -- I have a hard time identifying them. Is anyone here familiar enough with the makeup to help me out if I post them?

Aww thanks! That's the fun thing about free/creative writing, there's no limit of ideas you can come up with! If you were to spend a whole day in my head, it'd be one side with a whole bunch of gears, cogs and sprockets working a machine that generates ideas, and when I get a good idea going, it goes full throttle and won't stop! XD The other side would lead to a huuuge library where all my ideas and stuff would be archived. :P
Imagine like this:

Annnnnd just like that, I just came up with a new idea for a new Liv girl. XD
@Leigh
I'm not too Keen on which face belongs to which, unless they're ones that I have, but you should post your findings here anyway! I wanna see different kinds of faceups each have. :P If you ever find any doubles and I have the funds, I might want a one! (I haven't tried searching yet for any livs in thrift stores.)

I don't know most girls by heart, but I'm good at identifying! Feel free to post 'em.

Capri is incredibly cute. Your backstories are creative, Luvly. :lol:
I honestly don't ever remember seeing a Liv doll in stores, but I saw one at an antique/collectibles mall this past weekend. She was in a case behind a bunch of KISS man figurines and she begged me to let her hop in my basket. I told her "maybe next time" and walked away, reasoning that I didn't need a doll from another line. But then she was stuck on my mind. Those eyes. That purple hair. I could do a lot worse for $8. I walked all the way back across the store and said, "Fiiiiine. Hop on in."

She's actually quite sweet.
-
I know that feeling. :)
Today my new babies arrived! I don't think they were ever identified.
The one in pink has a very undetailed face, so in my opinion she looks a little off with Livs. Despite this she's still very cute and I love her.

wow. the size comparison looks great!
fun addition.
-
Awww thanks Shockpony! :hug: You're lucky you were able to find Liv in Color Hayden, she was one that got away that I was hoping to get before they were gone. >,<; Glad you're happy with her!
I just NEED to finally get to making the backdrops needed and start writing the plots for those Story threads and take pics for them and post them.
Taxel, those two last ones are SUPER Adorable!! Especially the brown haired one! How many babies are there total now, 7?? While I was browsing the Mattel shop to see what barbie (and other doll lines) stuff they got and I saw that they have two "I Can Be..." sets that come with a baby.
Something about their faces don't look right...The ones you have look so much cuter.
Not only that, looking through the site wasn't a good idea, because now I want to get these dolls, just to steal their clothes. >,>; Does that make me a bad person?? :P
Aaaand Fashion packs. These I've never seen.
-
Hm let's see.
I have:
Barbie baby Krissy
Fakie newborn
2 Cabbage Patch minis
Unknown twins
Unknown undetailed
You're right, its seven! Wow, I didn't even realize I had so many. Next time I go baby shopping I need some more skintone variation. I really want to get a hispanic Krissy and an AA newborn.
I've looked at the new Barbie babies in stores, and they are WEIRD. Something is so off and unsettling about them, I can't stand it. I want the I Can Be (I think?) babysitter or whatever that comes with the underwater-looking crib, for the clothes and accessories. The old babies are much better, and way worth the price compared to the new ones imo.
Not bad at all! I have some naked Barbies in a box because I stole their clothes. And at the flea market I got Barbies just to steal their clothes. xD
Those fashion packs are really nice, I especially love the first two!
-
Yeah, I saw the babysitter set in person the other day, eurgh, the face looks so weird. >,< The old one, like the one you have, looks WAYY more cuter than those ones. *shudders*
I was gonna decide to make that thread where I made my Light Box into my personal photo spam thread, but I changed my mind. I'll be posting them here more too, don't want to see this thread die out yet. >,<

Yeah, the old ones are so much better and not freaky. I wonder if anyone has done repaints of either type though? I've never seen it.
I was looking at those photos earlier. They look great! And I'm sooo jealous of your big light box. xD Can't afford it and don't have the room, urgh, but I would love one that big. No tin foil sides would be great too, lol.
I need to take more photos this month, tons more, before my Flickr pro expires. I'm gonna ask for a year's worth for my birthday but that isn't until May.
-
If someone were able to do a good repaint on the newer faces, I'd think it wouldn't look right, with those big holes on the lips, that's what really creeps me out about the newer models. I know it's to "feed" them with the bottle, but still. >,<
The lightbox total I spent on making it was about aprox $3-4 for the box, cover and poster boards to use as backdrops, and the one I have is about the size of a "decent" size TV. I'm thinking of making a bigger one, If you'd like, I'll take pictures of what I buy and list what I bought and how much I paid to give you some kind of idea, and step by step instructions on how I made it, I added adheasive velcro to the back of it so it's foldable to store away. Getting 3 lamps and the kind of light bulb is another story. I spent like...$6-7ish?? on a set of 2 natural Lightbulbs and the lamps we had laying around the house, so I got lucky with those and one of them had a natural daylight bulb in it already. *Phew* Sorry for the long ramble. @,@;
I am not liking the new photobucket layout at all. If I get too fed up with it, I might find me another place to host images than there.
Tomorrow some friends are going to the summit to go snowboarding and celebrate one of their birthdays, sadly I'm not going. Mostly because I don't snowboard, and 2ndly I just don't have the money, so I asked one of my closest friends who is going, if he could take one of my girls with him and take pictures of her there. Had to beg and plead and guilt trip, so he said yes! So I grabbed Capri, dressed her up for the cold and carefully packed her for him to take, he also took my camera. (His originally, he gave to me when he got a new one)
Hopefully he'll take some good pictures of her when he reports back to me and return her home safely. :P
If he hurts or damages her in anyway, he will pay. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

What a nice friend! Hope the pics come out well!
-
Yeah, most definitely. The open mouth is just too weird. Unless you glue a bottle in permanently, and then its kinda pointless to me.
I'd appreciate that. :3 I know they're not too expensive in reality, but we've got absolutely $0 to spend on frivolous things like that, especially since we only have one lamp already. And of course when I do have a few bucks, I'd rather buy something for my dolls than have to find a place to put a big light box. I'm not allowed to keep anything of mine, no matter what it is (aside from food/drinks), outside of our room unless its in the garage (which is dirty and not easy to access given the temperatures). And since I didn't plan to still be here now the room isn't even close to functional. Its a crowded mess. XP
The new PB is absolutely AWFUL. I switched to Flickr for photos since they did free pro for everyone from like December to March. And I've got a toooon of private Tumblr blogs for all the rest of my stuff. I use Imgur sometimes but its a waste of time if you plan to use it for images you'll post regularly, since you can only access the most recent 225 you've uploaded. Although Flickr does have a similar limit, 200 I think? But I'm gonna pay for pro since it means I never have to resize photos for the forums or deal with that, just a quick copy and paste of the BBCode.
I can't wait to see Capri's snow pictures! I hope she likes the cold. xD
-
Ugh Capri was all dressed up...with nowhere to go....My friend "forgot" her and left her behind at his place. >,>; Found out at the Birthday dinner we all went to after they came back from the summit when I asked if he took any pictures. Sadly he forgot both Capri and the camera.
Lately whenever I get money that I would've spent on crafting stuff for backdrops, I'd end up spending on food or something else random. >,>; So I can relate to the spending money on actual doll related stuff instead of frivolous stuff to make for them. :P (it would've been nice and helpful to me to get it, but I keep pushing it aside time after time.)
I realized that uploading and linking from the little box under the reply window here in the arena is a LOT Better than doing it directly on their website. It lags there, it somehow doesn't upload the original size, and for some idiotic reason, they rotate them 90 degrees for no good reason and only doesn't do that if you upload it from the arena window thing. >,>;
-
Oh gosh that sucks. Dx
If we actually had space I'd be a lot more eager to save for dolly craft supplies. But there's no motivation when I know I can't put anything anywhere. XP
At least the Arena window is still working? I heard they're auto-resizing all photos now and you're not able to upload anything new over whatever the size is. PB is so horrible now.
-
Ugh wtf really?? I hope they didn't do that to the arena window thing. Now that I have Capri and my camera back, I'll take a few photos and post them tomorrow and see if they did change it, if they did, ugh that's so stupid. >,>; ETA: Yeah I just uploaded another picture, it stayed the same size. Hopefully they don't change it anytime soon.
Motivation was the word I was looking for. It's like "why spend money to make stuff, when I can get something else I wanted" and just keep delaying. They have what I'm looking for at the Dollar tree to make the room backdrop, but it's like "Meh...I wanna get it, but not right now...too lazy." and as soon as I leave, with snackies I go "Ahhh dangit, I should've grabbed it. >,>;" It's there for me to grab and step forward, but I'm just not motivated to get the job done and I just keep delaying me finally get what I need to make it.
-
I'd guess that's because its an older uh whatever-you'd-call-it. Hopefully it/the Arena don't update.
Exactly! And last time I had money it was because I sold one of my Pullips. I had a lot of plans originally (that I really wanted), but shipping took like half so I was just like no way not this time. Instead I just bought stuff I didn't plan on buying yet because it didn't take me any shipping.
Sometimes lazy/greedy wins. xD

The Liv thread lives again!! XD
My "current" "project" is probably trying to make an apron and bandana for Capri to wear for a restaurant setting (now that I have real food props and maybe a few more on the way. XD), and possibly some kind of restaurant outfit/uniform to go with it. :P
-
I'm going to try to do as many crafts and get as many supplies as possible while I'm in California. I've gone nuts watching MyFroggyStuff videos and there is SOOO much I want to make for my girls. The stuff highest on my list right now are cake, lava lamps, art supplies, and baby stuff.
-
She's come a long way in her videos, hasn't she?? :P So many things I wanna make too, like several of the clothes she shows. That picnic table tutorial she did, after making mine, I got an idea where I'll be making different kinds of tables!! As for the food stuff, after I discovered those Iwako erasers...We already know how that turned out. XD Cost efficient and don't take so much work to make.
Oh yeah, When you're down in Cali, if you by any chance see a Daiso Japan in the area, check it out! They should have them there for reasonably cheaper than Amazon or any other stores! They also have a bunch of other cool Japanese stuff for $1.50. I tried searching if there were any in ID for you, but there aren't. >,<;

Somehow this photo reminds me of... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6umxthz1Ys :lol:
I'm not even halfway through this thread, but I can't wait to see more pics! I became so addicted to looking at these dolls.
It's interesting how at certain angles they freak me out with their stares, yet at other angles they look just plain adorable.
-
Luvly - Everything she makes just blows me away. I can't believe it! Its like she can make anything out of cardboard and craft foam and duct tape.
I just tried to see if there were any close by where we'll be, and nope. >.< There's one maybe 1-2 hours away but we won't have time to check it out. I tried looking to see if there was one around Vegas, but I couldn't find anything useful.
Zapper - Haha! It does! I've never seen the move though. Those pics are the result of trying to get a photo of her eye mech's shadows for you, lol.
Angles are a big thing with them, I've learned. Straight forward they tend to look creepy, but messing with their eyes or just a slight head tilt help so much.
-
I know right?! Her crafts are amazing!! it looks so legit that you wouldn't even think it was made from all that recycled cardboard and other craft supplies. :P It'd be cool to post some of my pictures on her facebook or even get a shoutout, but I don't have one... :(
If that's the case and finding one would be a hassle, don't go out your way. >,<;
lol props to you Zapper for going through the whole thread so far! They tend to have that affect on people. XP
-
New Jude and Lucy photos! They were the only Livs I brought to California with me, what a huge mistake. Next time I stay with my aunt and uncle I'm bringing everyone!

Ah! Jude and Lucy are my favorite LIVs :heart: I really like Lucy's sweat shirt:)
I am DYING for Jude's wig! It's just so pretty.
Great seeing your girls again:)
-
I need to get them new shirts actually, lol. Lucy's sweatshirt fits her character, but I'm not a fan of the color. And Jude's shirt I just hate. The collar is a pain.
Good luck getting your hands on that wig! It'll probably be expensive, unless you get lucky, but its so worth it.
I'm hopefully going to be more active with photos soon. It *should* start warming up enough to go outside and to the park and such, but last time it started warming up (before our vacation) it dropped back down to snowing. x.x
-
Dang, your shots are amazing!! I wish I had an area surrounded with foliage and a stump in the middle. :P A few days ago I was actually wondering where I could find me a doll size stump to use as a background prop for my dolls! XD Gives me a Legend of Zelda vibe looking at these photos.
Have you thought of possibly having some custom clothes made for them?? I bet there's someone here that has great sewing skills to make clothes for Livs. (If they can do MH, they can possibly do Livs)
I made a bigger Lightbox recently, and even took photos of the steps i took and post it in the Dollhouse later when I'm not too busy/lazy. There is so much more space now, I can actually put in several more dolls than I could before without going out of the background zone.
-
That's my aunt and uncle's backyard, its amazing! Just a section of it:

loginI've actually asked my grandma to make me some stuff (she has Barbie sewing patterns), but she hasn't been able to yet. The only problem with commissioning someone for clothes for them is how expensive it would be, especially since they don't really require anything all that special/specific. I just don't have a lot of Barbie or Liv clothes.
Though I might add an outfit or two to my birthday list.
Oh wow! That's amazing! I can't wait to see it. I'm so jealous.
-
I brought all my mothers out for Mother's Day, but we had to leave after only Molly was done. We'll be going back to the park soon though.
I need more Barbie babies so badly. x.x

D'oh how did it slip my mind that today was the perfect day to Celebrate a day for Capri (and all our expectant mothers. :P) Look forward to seeing some more of your outdoor shots. There haven't been that many before your trip to Cali.
I've spent the whole day fixing my dad's computer as well as an all girls Mother's day lunch with my sisters and our mom. I'll try to take some photos soon. Ugh I was so anticipating this day and everything with photos and fits, but somehow durr, had a brain fart and ended up forgetting about it. >,<;
-
That's because it was STILL snowing literally like the week before we left for Cali. x.x Like snow flurries that didn't stick, but still snow. Its *finally* warm enough to actually leave the house, so I'm gonna be milking that for all its worth until winter hits again. There's not much time in the year where I can actually go outside, especially for long periods of time. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate Idaho? >.<
Bonus photos of nature!

Hopefully you can get some more photos of your girls soon!
-
I wouldn't mind taking my girls to the park, but ugh, grass pollen is my krytonite and if I took my girls out, they'd get covered in it and I'd pretty much become allergic to them! >,<;
Today I Can tell is gonna be a good day for me to take pictures, since I'm in a piccy taking mood.
-
Aw yuck, allergies are the worst.
We were supposed to go on a walk today but its gray and cold and looks like it'll rain. x.x I don't have the will to use my lightbox so soon after being able to be outside (I haven't touched it since I got back from Cali) so take enough photos for both of us! xD
-
All of your Liv dolls are so pretty!
I found this Liv at a new thrift store near here. That store is going to be trouble for me. I bought her mostly out of curiosity. She had a big black mark on her face that I managed to scrub off. So far she's a lot of fun to pose and play with.
Here she is in a barbie dress my niece loaned her. I've already ordered her a wig from ebay. This doll... so much trouble but very cute.

Does any one know which one she is?
-
If you can provide a close-up of her face, we most definitely can!
She's a Daniela, my guess is It's My Nature. But she could also be Wave 1 or Moonlight Dance. But if she's not Nature, I'd guess she's Wave 1.
-
Thank you!
Here are some close ups. I hope they're not too blurry.

Her make up is very light and lips are a very pale pink.
-
She's an It's My Nature Daniela. :)
-
:) Thank you!
-
You're welcome! :D
-
She is a lovely girl, you're lucky you picked her up. When you get her her wig, brightberry, you won't regret it one bit. :P These girls so much fun to play with and really posable. The good thing about these girls is that they fit Barbie Clothes really well, except for their shoes. >,<;
Ugh I felt like taking pictures at the time, but my creativity was practically non existent, so I couldn't get as many creative shots as I wanted. :(

-
They still turned out cute though! :D I love how you tell stories with your dolls. Mine just pose pretty, lol.
-
Your photos are adorable, LuvlyMelody! I already love my Daniella <3 If I hadn't seen your photos here, I don't think I would have known what she was or even picked her up so she has you to thank.
-
Awww thank you and you're welcome brightberry! :P Can't wait to see how she'll look once she has her new wig!
Your photos look amazing the way you set up the lighting, and everything. I've tried to make it look like the low lighting way you do it with editing, but it still looks all non-portrait looking. Even your outside photos look awesome with how you edit it afterwards.
You don't know how badly I wanna start making those picture threads again. The "room" I setted up to take those photos in, is basically gonna be Lexa & Capri's bedroom. Need a "Window" with a nice scene in it, better bed mattress, an actual drawer(s) set I saw at Joann's and some other stuff to decorate into a room.
-
Aw thank you hun! I can try and help explain anything in particular if you want, like if there are certain photos whose lighting you love. :3 I did make this (http://shortaxel.deviantart.com/art/photography-tutorial-149164055) 'tutorial' a few years ago, if you wanna get a better idea of how I do stuff. I edit entirely differently now (mostly just brightness & contrast and maybe some curves, and as a note the final edit of the photo I used looks awful on the computer I have now) but the rest is pretty accurate to my style.
Oooh, I'm excited to see!!
-
lol love the 8-bit font used. :P I'll experiment with that later on. I actually had a good idea pop into my head while posting in another thread, so I might wanna experiment with it today. There are other photos I've taken and haven't posted yet, so I might mix it with that photo spam and separate it here too.
-
I didn't want to use anything that was too crazy, but I didn't want to use a lame usual font either! xD

That is one beautiful LIV you got there! I love the faceup. So soft and pretty:)
-
My latest liv portion of my latest spam. I have some others I'll post in another photo spam thread, mostly of my Moxie Girlz.
I realized how ever since I've made my lightbox(es) I haven't really changed Capri's clothes at all, and decided to take a picture of her in each of her outfits to see how well she'd look in them with better lighting done. With a new one added :P
Starting with her original outfit.

While taking these photos, it got me wondering: How the other Liv owners here are doing with their girls. Everyone's been busy with their own thing and it'd be nice to know. :blush:
-
I commend your dedication to outfit changes! I could never do so many in one shoot. Then again my setup is entirely on the floor behind my bedroom door. xD
Have I ever said how much I love the corset-ish one with the bows? Yes? I'll say it again. I totally need to find that dress for my girls!
Thanks to your finds every time we check out the toys I have to look closely at all the Barbie outfits. xD
Sometimes I find myself wondering what the old regulars/semi-regulars are up to with their Livs (if anything). I miss when we'd chat up pages and pages, that was fun.
-
Yeah, it took a while, yeesh now there's a pile of her clothes all on my bed and I'm cleaning it up right now. XD
I really like that one too with the bows, really cute and not too pink. I'm so glad they made them! I'm also glad that they're not too expensive. Like I've said before, they'd be a whole lot better if they didn't have to use so much pink in their color schemes.
I haven't checked any Barbie sections lately, but I did see the other dress I was interested in the last time I was. If I do pick it up, I hope the material is stretchy like most of the other ones I have. The purple/blue/sparkly one was not as stretchy. >,<;
I missed those chats too. Hopefully come summer time, people will come back, but in the mean time, we'll keep on sharing pictures here and hope more people get interested in them. :P
-
The more I window-online-shop, the more addicted I feel about these girls. It used to be I only liked the Brites Collection. Then the LIV in Color Collection. THEN I wanted the Twist and Dance girls (never got around to getting them, and now they are all back to regular prices :cry:) Now, I find myself falling for every one I see! And their clothing *swoon*
I might end up REALLY collecting these soon. I think if I ever get one of the older releases with the "good" bodies, it'll be all over for me! :lol: Fortunately, all the lines I've fallen for are the crappy bodied ones. Those leave MUCH to be desired.
I ALMOST bought a $50 lot of dolls and wigs on Ebay last night :shocked: I had to stop myself. I've been spending like a mad woman lately. I've got 3 major doll collections going, with a couple smaller collections too, I can't keep adding more lines to collect -_-
-
I remember you posting that dress before, Luvly, its super cute.
Oh yeah, I pretty much forgot about summer but hopefully that brings people back! Or we can convert new people, haha.
Kitter - Looking up Livs on eBay is deadly. x.x There are so many good lots I want to get my hands on and I already have over 20 girls! They really are just addictive.
-
Found this Liv doll with a blonde wig that was really cut up. Luckily, I had bought a pink/purple Liv wig for a MH doll but didn't use it. The wig didn't match the original clothes (yellow top, jeans, plaid shirt), so LuvlyMelody told me Barbie clothes would fit. Luckily again, I had a brand new Barbie outfit (flower top and aqua skirt) to use. So for my first Liv doll did I do okay? She will be up for sale because I don't need to collect anything else lol.

Thanks it was fun putting her together. I have her up for sale but I'm jot firm on price and open to trades.
-
apanda0622, that doll looks great.
I have my wigs! Now I want more. I found the jeans at the thrift store and the shirt at Target. I love this doll now. Here are some shots from my phone. I'll try and take pics of her other outfits with my better camera soon. My phone turns everything yellow. :P

I can't believe how soft her wigs are. Everyone who holds her starts petting her hair. So cute. I hope she's a happy dolly.
-
That shirt is cute! And where did you get the second wig? Its gorgeous.
-
Thank you! :)
The wig was on ebay. It was one of the cheaper wigs I could find without buying a bunch of them. It's "Alice in Wonderland Hayden White Rabbit"
I also kind of want that Hayden. :blush:
-
Ah, no wonder I didn't recognize it! Mine is styled differently.
The Alice in Wonderland girls are gorgeous.
-
Yeah :rolleyes: That's ANOTHER set I wouldn't mind owning :lol:
-
Haha... too many things to collect! Too many! But I would like to get Daniela a horse since she seems to be a fan. :biggrin:
-
Good luck finding a horse! When I went looking I could only find one for a decent price, with a doll and some accessories for $20 or 30 used (by a child) on Amazon. All the rest were $80-100+. x.x
But they are absolutely amazing. And even with a bunch of small marks and scratches, I love mine.
-
Aww those wigs look great on her brightberry! That outfit suits her too. Glad you've taken such a liking to her. :P A horse would go well with her.
Finally gotten some time for myself this weekend, what with being busy with school and such, so I wasn't able to take birthday pictures for you guys last week. :(
-
Are there any other shoes that fit them???
-
I love seeing all your pictures! I don't know if the budget line is as popular but I have a few for sale in my siggy. I'd love them to go to a nice home where they can be appreciated.
-
Guess who showed up at my door today?

Awww she is adorable! Love those lashes!
-
Argh! I've been lusting over that outfit for awhile now! Congrats, Taxel. She's a pretty doll too! I always think that character (Danielle, right?) gets the coolest clothes! I LOVE her style, not to mention her awesome haircolors and styles.
LOOK WHAT YOU AND LUVLY HAVE DONE TO ME!!!!!! :lol:
-
She looks amazing! Beautiful. :biggrin:
-
Oooh, she was my first LIV. Probably because the skintone and eyes were perfect for a character of mine. :D
-
Haha, you got that right Kitter! I love like every single Daniela.
Today I took Nadia with me to Yellowstone!

lol it's not our fault these dolls are awesomely made and articulated. :P
Grats on getting Sleepover Daniella Taxel! Now Nadia has a friend she can have a real sleepover with and not just have them staring at her while she sleeps. XD
I like your last few photos in those little streams/bodies of water. Something about streams or rivers soothe me. I wish I could take my girls to monumental or tourist spots. Maybe this summer I will, it is a good idea.
Are there any other shoes that fit them???
I haven't checked around, but one thing for sure is Barbie shoes are Wayyy too small for them.
-
:O Luvly changed her icon and sig! I had no idea who you were at first and was excited about a new recruit to the Cult of Liv. xD
Hahahahaha! Now I have to organize a sleepover like that.
The last two photos aren't from as relaxing a place as you might think! I don't have any of my photos from that day edited yet (we went on the 28th and again on the 1st), but here's one from a similar place (I'm not really sure if they're technically the same type of thing or what. . .Nadia photos were taken up in Mammoth Hot Springs). They looks really beautiful, but you see that gas? Its sulfur, so it smells awful. Mammoth Hot Springs (especially the exact area I was in) was much prettier than the area of this photo, but still. Yucky.

Monster High shoes fit.
-
lol I know that feeling when you get too used to everyone's avatar & sig that when they change it, you forget who they were for a moment. XD
Eep sulfur not good, completely different kind of hot springs I wanna be in and the opposite of what I thought that was. Thought it was like a small nearby creek or something like that.
-
Haha! Mammoth Hot Springs wasn't as bad smell-wise as some of the other places we went, like the photo I posted, but it was still pretty gross. I highly recommend bringing masks if you go to Yellowstone. They're so beautiful and great to see if you can handle the smell (my boyfriend couldn't), but wow do they stink.

-er a bit too much tint. :P
Alexis is wearing Bratzilla boots. They sort of fit.
-
I bought some Liv wigs, and they have kinks in them due to the straps holding them to the packaging. How do you get rid of these kinks?
-
Grats on getting more girls! :P All I can say is OMG That first outfit is amazingly pretty!! Wow I wish I came across that one when they were still around. :( Lucky you and that blue wig goes perfectly with it! One of my most favorite wigs out of all the ones I have.
@Frizzy
Boil washing them and combing right after pouring the hot water on is my method of getting rid of the kinks. If you go this method, be careful not to burn yourself! >,<;
-
:blush: I probably paid too much for that outfit, but I feel content so maybe I'll stop cruising the barbie isle so much. Alexis was found at Tuesday Morning and I can't believe you can still get Alice in Wonderland Hayden at Target.com for $15. I have to admit, it's their wigs that made me want more.
And wow, I didn't know you could boil wash these wigs. Now I'm even more impressed.
-
Daniela looks amazing! And I love that wig on Alexis!
Last night I found a great deal on a Barbie Krissy on eBay, so of course I nabbed her (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181150186698&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160). I was outbid on a lot of two Krissys (white and hispanic) so I decided to check out BINs, and I'm glad I did! I snagged a great deal on this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Barbie-Midge-Pregnant-Doll-Baby-Blonde-Blue-Eyes-Diaper-Tub-Bottle-Happy-Family-/151050733335) newborn! I'm bummed I didn't get a hispanic baby (I need one for my Pullip), but I'm super thrilled with all the great deals I got!
I also bought a lot of 10 of these fakie babies for $10 & free shipping a few days ago.

Oh wow! She looks like a little Liv baby. :lovey:

Barbie babies are so perfect for Livs! :D Those fakies (and the official ones who are the same size) look great, as do Krissies.

Thanks! I'll try it out when I have time.
-
I managed to stumble on one of these cuties at a thrift store! :blush: If it's not too much trouble, could I get an ID for her? Her outfit's not original (neither is what she came with, it doesn't fit terribly well), but I think her earrings are.

I'm really glad these dolls pull off being wigless so well - she actually looks better 'bald' than in the sole Liv wig I've got, pffff.
-
She's original Alexis. :)
I have a few bald girls, I love them! Sometimes wigs just don't look good.
-
She's so pretty! Eee!
-
The ten-tuplets arrived today! One was a complete casualty and another broke her leg, so its more like octuplets right now. But don't worry, they're being split up between lots of different moms. I'm not sure who will end up with who yet.

There is a package waiting for me at the post office *eeeeeee*
I'm expecting my grail LIV wig! I bought it from a sketchy website, so I wasn't even sure I'd receive anything. Just having some sort of package makes me happy:)
Crossing my fingers it's what I actually ordered! Going to get it first thing tomorrow morning. Wish me luck guys:)
-
grail wig? now i'm really curious as to which one it is.
finally went through and dressed all my dolls. feels really good.
-
I'm curious about this wig too!

I found this Sofie at Tuesday Morning but wasn't really happy with her make up. She's kind of got a shiny face. But, after putting this wig on, I changed my mind. So cute.

love that red wig.
i'm so bad at taking doll pose pics.

Sorry! I know I was being vague, but I wanted to make sure I had it in my hands before announcing to the world what I was madly looking for:)
And the sketchy website came through!!!!! It's mine! All mine!
Not my photo: (too lazy to take one of my own :blush:)

Now I need that red wig I've been meaning to buy (Jude's!!!!). At least you can find THAT one easy enough :rolleyes: Also I stumbled across one I've NEVER seen before, so I hope I can mentally let that one go or........it'll be the death of me :lol: I hear it's a wave 1 wig or something :cry:
-
:O I've never seen that wig before! Its gorgeous!
I still have my grail wig all boxed up (I got it for Christmas). I'm waiting for the perfect doll to put it on but the wait is maddening.
-
That wig is gorgeous! Wow!
-
Thanks guys:)
It's nearly impossible to find now. It came in some sort of 2 pack back in the day. The stock photo for it is HORRID. I had been craving a green wig pretty much for forever, and was so sad the only green wig they made was "ugly." Then I saw a custom clothing seller using a doll wearing the green wig to model her clothes. I almost died :lol: How could a stock photo be so very wrong?
I paid a pretty penny for it (and ONLY it. It didn't come with any of the extras that came in the wig pack) but I'm perfectly fine with that. It is retired, and HTF. I'm just so glad the website didn't steal my money :whew:
What is your grail wig, Taxel?
My new grail wig I found out about not long after I ordered the green wig -_- Such is life! I found it while looking at Picklepud's Flickr. He created a OOAK LIV doll. He named her Prue. I think I would kill for this doll! Anyway, her wig is my new grail :cry: Why can't I just be happy with what I have? :lol:
Prue is front and center:

-
i was wondering.
do the wigs take dye very well? i was thinking of trying to make an orange one.
-
rosierjay Oh, that is a pretty wig on Prue. I love those colors and the part is perfect. You find such wonderful things.
justkitter I don't know anything about dying wigs, but it's an interesting idea.
-
I know what you mean, Kitter! I paid a pretty penny for Jude's wig but it was SO worth it! I know my uncle paid a decent chunk for my grail wig as well. What wig is Prue wearing, do you know? I must have it too!
This one was my grail wig. I apparently have no decent photos of mine, neither show its true color, but its the natural strawberry blonde-ish colored wig. Its not as red as I wish it was, but its still really pretty.

Eee wow I missed out on a lot. >,<;
Great pictures BB and grats on finding School's Out Sophie, she was one of the ones I was looking for when I first started off with Livs :P
Grats on getting more of those little babies Taxel! XD You've got yourself a whole little baby army growing. Sorry for the two that didn't make it. :(
OMG That green wig looks so perfect!!! I remember I wanted one, but from what I researched (or tried searching with little to no resources on the internet. =_=;) If there was a green wig, and the only closest one was the brown and green one that came with Original Katie. lol for a moment I thought we'd finally be able to see one of your photos of your girls but it was picklepuds instead. :P His Liv photos are so awesome compared to his MH ones. Too bad he doesn't post any more of them or partake in this thread. :( I really Like that blue dress that his Sophie has on, it'd be perfect for Capri.
I'm not too sure if these wigs are dyeable RJ, I'd be too scared to dye and possibly ruin one especially after the line has died out. >,<; From what I remember, there's that wig that Taxle posted, as well as an orange neonish kinda wig that came with the Target Liv Brites Alexis.
-
i was wondering.
do the wigs take dye very well? i was thinking of trying to make an orange one.
I tried dyeing a red LIV wig darker. It's not nylon hair and it didn't take any dye at all, even black dye just would not take even a little bit.
-
Taxel: Pickle says in the comments of that photo series, that it's a Wave 2 Liv wig. I've been searching like a crazy woman, and NOTHING. I can't even find promo pics, or very old screen grabs from a shopping site, or a brag thread with box opening photos:( It's like it never existed :lol: I knew you'd like it:)
I like your grail wig too. I've seen it plenty lately, while searching for "the wig that never was." :lol:
Hmmm, maybe I should press my luck and check that sketchy site again :wonder:
Luvly: Sorry no pictures from me:( I don't enjoy taking pics like you all do :blush: It's actual work for me :yucky: I just don't have the patience for it. I gotta work on that though, because I have so many things to brag about, but brags are only good when you have pics to go along with them.
-
That's such a shame! I wish I'd gotten into these dolls when they were first released so we could have nice records. Or heck I wish anyone had gotten really into them and made a wiki or something!
Not so new photos of my newest girl. She's still nameless because coming up with over 20 unique Beatles themed names is really really hard. x.x I still have a handful of unnamed girls, most over a year old!

Bumping because we let this fall into the second page (shame on us) and to brag I FINALLY got Jude's wig :squee:
I found someone selling it on Ebay, on a MH doll, for the same price as just the wig on Amazon, or Ebay (if I had been searching for just the wig.) Also got a stand in the deal, which is another $4-ish dollars in savings:)
Still trying to pin-point Prue's wig. I thought I had it (even bought it) but now I'm not so sure......Why do so many of the wigs look the same to me?
-
YAY! Major congrats hun!!! <3 That's a great deal.
Maybe post some pics of the wig you think might be Prue's and we can try help?
Once the rain lets up I'll be taking some new photos to spam with! I still haven't photographed any of my new babies (I got three replacement kiddos and a fourth gift one the other day) and have a lot of photos to take for my Etsy shop.
-
That green wig is absolutely gorgeous!
I snagged a box of dolls from Freecycle last week - mainly lil Bratz but also a few barbie clothes and a rather manky Liv doll...cleaned her up, popped some clothes and a new wig on her and I'm very happy :) Called her Trixy :)

She looks great! I love those boots.
-
Great wig choice, Pinkamena:)
She looks great:) The only dolls I've bought, have had the horrid bodies:( I think if I owned a decent bodied doll, I'd have to have 'em all. Maybe it's best that never happened :wonder:
After the super discount sales when the line was discontinued, the dolls went back to regular price (and in some cases, way over regular price) but now things are starting to even out. I'm sorta wanting to buy a second set of the Brites line. I love them SO much!
BUT there are plenty of dolls I DON'T have, that I want too so......?
-
She's really pretty! Love that outfit :lol:
-
So pretty!
-
Thank you :)
The boots are Frankies Ghouls Rule boots - most of the MH boots seem to just about fit, as do the Bratzillaz ones.
I love the Brites but the only dolls I have which aren't fully articulated are a couple of elderly Sindys, I have so far been able to resist the allure of anything else, plus it just bugs me when they aren't articulated.
-
I have some Liv dolls that need homes...not sure who they are but I can post pics if anyone is interested. Or you can PM me, if you would like!
-
I don't have any money, but if you post photos I can ID the dolls for you.
-
I have recently gotten a Sleepover Sophie doll in a Cinderella dress at Savers and I love her eyes. The lashes really make them pop. If I can find an Alexis I might just end up replacing the heads on my two hybrids.
-
Is there anyone here from Alberta Canada that can tell me where to buy these dolls and wigs in Canada besides e-bay? They, along with Moxie Teenz where discontinued so the only place I can find them ( if I a lucky) is Value Village, sometimes kijiji. ( Usually all bald and naked lmao ). I am customizing a doll right now and I had to order some wigs off e-bay, holy cow with shipping the wigs are as much as the dolls! I thought about making my own wigs but not sure if it would look as good as the bought ones. Any suggestions? Also, anyone have good recommendations of sellers on etsy who can custom make outfits?

You could try Amazon. Livs (dolls, wigs, and clothes) show up on the Arena from time to you. You might also want to keep an eye on Monster High sales forums, as Liv wigs tend to be used with CAMs and such a fair bit.
As far as making your own wigs, you should try! I think I have a few tutorials bookmarked I can dig up, and I know of one website that offers free fabric swatches, including faux fur swatches large enough to make an MH wig each (so that would likely work on a Liv too). I think the website is called Distinctive Fabrics or something like that, if they still do the offer. I can get the name for sure tomorrow if anyone wants it.

Being gone for too long again and I decided to stop in. >,<; Apparently my Flickr/Yahoo has been deactivated because I was gone for 3 months even though they say I'd have to log in at least once every 12 months to keep it open, so now my account may be gone so I might have to make a new account/find somewhere else ot post and coming up with a new name after having this one for more than 10 years, isn't going to be easy. >,<; Wth yahoo... /endrant
While cleaning my room and moving stuff around, I decided to take a peek at my Liv dolls in their container and I've missed them so much I felt like taking some pictures of them. Sadly, some things were removed/thrown out during the last time I was moving stuff around cleaning. >,<; So I'm gonna need to make a new light box and bed...and table...etc for them.
-
Ugh! So sorry about your account. It never occurred to me that could happen.
-
Oh man you have got to be kidding Luvly! That's an insane limit. :/ I'm sorry you've got to make all new stuff too. But hey, at least we're on even ground now. :P
I haven't done much with my Livs lately either, but we're going back to Yellowstone next week so I'll have to remember to bring a few along. I never took photos with the new babies I got, I might bring them along too.
-
As it turns out, it was the wrong yahoo account...whoops. It was supposed to be @ymail instead of @yahoo itself...>,>; So it's still active. :P there's still hope!
Can't wait to see what the new babies look like after being gone for so long.
-
Oooh! I'd love to see some photos from your photoshoot Taxel!
-
I ended up deciding not to bring a Liv doll with me, whoops. I'll have to try and get to the park soon.
-
I haven't pulled any of my girls out in ages, but I put my spare Disney Store Merida on a Liv body last night. Its been really nice posing her. Soon it'll be warm enough to go outside for photos. I can't get wait to get back to Liv spamming. xD

After nearly a year of nothing, I've added two new girls to my collection! :D No names yet but I'll be busy pouring over my list of Beatles names trying to pick some out for them (and all my other poor unnamed girls) tonight.

I'm so so thrilled to finally have a Making Waves Alexis! She didn't look too impressive in her box, but her makeup is gorgeous. I'm not sure what to do about a wig for her, but I might just leave her wigless.

They're gorgeous!
