The Dollhouse / Winx shoes/boots on MH dolls
« on: December 17, 2012, 05:55:48 PM »
Hey everyone, so I got a Winx doll today and I thought I'd try her boots on one of my girls. They're a bit too small in the heel but I thought they looked okay as something for display so I thought I'd take a photo to show y'all:

As you can see there is a gap in the back (looks a bit worse than it is due to the flash) and the heel isn't quite long enough for the monster high girls (I'm holding her up in the photo - she'd probably need to stay on stand in these shoes), but they look very nice from the front!

Edit: At saply's suggestion, I tried them on Howleen and they fit great!

The Dollhouse / When Dolls Don't Match Their Stock Photo
« on: December 17, 2012, 05:18:49 PM »
Amazon had a sale on for their Winx dolls, specifically the concert dolls were around $5. Thinking I could mod them into the Misfits from Jem, I bought three. Two of the concert, and one Believix Bloom (on sale for $7). Well, the two concert girls I bought had long sleeves, but the Bloom concert showed them with articulated elbows and movable wrists, so I assumed they would all be.

Nope! Just the Believix Bloom. Sadly, because of the sleeves, I didn't notice until one of them was opened. Oh well. That one will go to a a family friend's granddaughter and the other two will go to Toys For Tots if they're still accepting this late in the game.

Anywho, I was wondering if you ever got a doll that was vastly different from the stock photo? I'd love to hear some stories.

The Dollhouse / Price Check on Customs?
« on: December 07, 2012, 07:27:55 PM »
Hi everyone! So I've got quite a few girls in line for some reroots and partial repaints (I prefer that they still look similar to factory) and was planning on putting some up for sale. The thing I was wondering is, what's the going rate?

I'm sure it varies some depending on complexity of the reroot or the base doll you're using, but I'd like to know what some of the ball park figures are.

Also, do you personally buy pre-made customs? I know that many take commissions but due to personal issues with anxiety it's easier for me to make a doll and then put it up for sale then to take commissions at the moment.

Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated!

The Dollhouse / FOUND WTB: Classroom/Home Ick Frankie
« on: November 23, 2012, 11:49:59 AM »
Hi everyone!

I went to Walmart yesterday and didn't see any Classroom dolls! Since I'd rather not deal with the chaos that is ebay (scalpers on Black Friday stuff, such a shame!) I thought I'd see if anyone managed to pick up a spare Frankie with a pretty good face up.

Now, I'm a bit short on cash at the moment, but I have enough to pay for the doll plus paypal fees and then I would be happy to pay for shipping and possibly a little extra for your time on the 28th.

If anyone can help me out it would be very much appreciated!

The Dollhouse / Putting head back on?
« on: November 21, 2012, 12:19:56 AM »
So I finished one of my first reroots and I've only got one problem: I can't quite figure out how to pop the head back on over the anchor.

Are you supposed to clip off the prongs, use heat, or what? Any help would be very much appreciated.

The Dollhouse / Anyone else get overwhelmed?
« on: October 02, 2012, 04:02:11 PM »
With the upcoming ghouls we've seen pics of the new total of unique dolls is 28 regular dolls and 17 CAMs (not counting Hoodude or the CAM Lab pieces).

With no forseeable slow down to the releases, does anyone else get overwhelmed by the sheer number of these dolls? They've only been out for three years and already we're nearing 50 unique designs, not even counting all the versions with different outfits and face ups.

As much as I love these dolls, it honestly worries me sometimes. My pocketbook can't keep up and being such tall dolls, it's a bit of a hassle to store so many. On one hand I'm excited that the series is doing so well but on the other... It does get overwhelming.

Between being a stickler against visual chaos and barely managing to keep up with just my favorites sometimes I let the stress get to me! Anybody else have trouble with the whole "hobbies are supposed to be fun, not stressful" mantra?

Hello everyone!

I've recently rekindle my love for 80s and 90s cartoons and toys and thought this would be a great place to get started on collecting again!
