used liquitex sealant on a pony and it's still tacky. had over a week to dry.
what do you recommend?

I'm looking for a g3 baity autumn skye or other blue g3 ponies. it's for a boy, so i want to avoid any feminine poses like diva pose.
also looking for a g3 blue baby. think bellaluna might be the only one.

also g1 adult pegasus bait. pose for a bubbly personality, but not sure what pose i'm looking for yet.
plus g2 colorful baits. no moving parts.

i'm trying to select the perfect g3 bait and i need some advice.
I'm making a g3 version of baby stripes in an adult and baby version.
since there are g3 blue ponies, i want to avoid a repaint if possible.
any advice on which ponies i should use?

it will be a boy version of baby stripes, so i want to avoid the diva pose and really feminine poses.

also i'm making a big brother version of him too.
which big brother would you recommend.
a little regrind or discoloration doesn't bother me as its for my own collection.
thinking quarterback, but 4 speed or salty are ones i might consider too.
4 speed is so hard to find with out major major problems, that or he's too nice to customize....
would love to hear some input.

i love this time of year. one of the ways i show i care is giving. so Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. but i also love the shopping and the thrill of the chase! so black friday and cyber monday are also great times for me too.
but this week i stumbled upon aliexpress's annual sale and ended up getting gifts for all my coworkers (over 30 people) for a pretty reasonable price. and now.
the waiting sets in. since they are coming form China it can take a while.... but each little update gives me hope.

waiting for all the packages to arrive
waiting for all the ads for black friday to be released
waiting to start shopping
and most important waiting for the time i'm allowed to pass out the gifts.
(i do see my family almost everyday, so i don't have to wait to see them. )

i usually give things like ornaments so i have the excuse to give them out early. *evil laugh* but still the waiting drives me nuts!

what are you waiting for this holiday? packages? events? presents? swaps?
what holidays to you celebrate and how?

AH! i just want to check my mail box right now!!

so i'm breaking down and buying my first real BJD.
I'm debating between Ariel Supiadoll in a tan color. she's a 1/3 which is way larger than anything i ever owned, but her Face!!!!
or the Luts Deft Bory boy also in a tan color. (the tan was the first i saw and fell in love with) he's a 1/4 and closer to some dolls i have.

there are a few other boys of the same size that's i'm considering, but he's the one that sticks out the most to me.

so my questions are.
does the tan fade or chip or have problems in general?
i know it cost extra so i want to make sure i'm not making a mistake.

also, can you buy off ebay?
the one i found seems like the legit luts account. but it's maybe 20$ cheaper than the one on the site.

anything major i need to know when taking care of the doll?
i plan on doing my research of course when spending that kinda cash. thought i'd ask if there were any specific tricks you'd like to share.
and lastly. which do you think would be better for a first doll?
with time i might get both, but for now only one. I'm only joining one swap this holiday and saving that money for the doll

I had the tremendous pleasure of doing a private other collections swap with mkia9
and she did an amazing job of getting stuff off my list and general LOVES list.
Its been crazy busy so it took me a while to post this, but I'm absolutely in love with everything i got.
