I have Marina and I think the huge mermaid tail is lovely! These lovelies have a ton of hair. I recall having the maroon horse one you have pictured,  relcelestia but I think it was when I was a child and a friend gave it to me.

I absolutely adore my mermaid girl.

Back in middle school we took a field trip there... I was confused about the tree giving birth to cabbages and such  I really liked the Bunnybees though. LOL

Not sure but that CAM torso would probably be the better part of the lot.
I usually find bait/loose/nude dolls between $5 - $8 depending on what doll it is.

Congrats!! Wind Song is a lovely pony! No regrind? Super lucky!! I have two with some minor regrind patches.

  I have two... that I bought off BanditPony here at the Arena

My Takara Fakies

These two are super nice and the yellow one even has a nice rehair job. I've seen them on eBay for over $50 and they were the ones that needed some TLC. ( bad paint rubs and super frizzed hair ).

If you want an alternative, there are people who make their own Takara fakie babies here on the Arena and on Etsy.

Welp! Since Howleen is such a petite thing, I tried on a La Dee Da dress and it fits perfectly! I'm also happy about this since Dee has fashion packs out that I can split between my Dee and Howleen. <3
I wonder if the pant suits will fit her too?

I don't know if you have access to Den of Angels.com but there is a huge thread about staying safe when using spray sealants. http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?399096-What-you-need-to-know-about-respiratory-protection!

"Many of the items that we work with as doll customisers are toxic and many of them are cumulatively toxic. You may feel ill for a while and then get better, but the sorts of diseases that can be caused by sanding processes and spraying processes can come back to haunt you many years down the road. These products can cause Cancer and Pneumoconiosis. Cancer may be treatable if caught early enough. Pneumoconiosis, which is respiratory diseases like asbestosis, silicosis and coalworker's "black lung" disease, is NOT TREATABLE....

...

This includes all types of spray applications, whether you are spraying sealant (like MSC or Testors) or airbrushing or spraying paints.

The process of spraying releases aerosols (and this is true whether or not you are using an aerosol spray can product. Airbrushing paint creates aerosols too!) for which an N95 filter is not effective."

I would probably just spray it outside to be on the safe side. 
Also, it's respectful to your bf's mom since not everyone would be comfortable in having chemicals sprayed in their homes. I spray out side since I have lovebirds and birds are notorious for being super sensitive to air born things. Hence why canaries were once used to detect fumes/gases in coal mines and such. The birds would succumb to the noxious gasses way before human workers would and a dead bird meant everyone to evacuate the job site.

I don't burn candles, use hair spray or such and I am really careful not to use non-stick/teflon pots and pans because over heating these creates fumes that kill birds too. It's amazing that every day home items when misused can cause health issues and we don't even know it!

In my apartment, when someone moves out of a unit, the paint guys even wear little masks when they refresh walls and such with paint.
