Have any body heard of Retro dolls.com? I suppose not many know off it...
Thanks to that dolly hair stopped taking paypal payments and My little customs being a bit more expensive I decided to look for another doll hair selling website and remembered this one that I came across last summer. I found that the prices are half as much as My little customs and I decided to order a few hanks to try it out. I put in my order on monday, it was shipped on tuesday and I got it today. I did find that they had accidentally given me Tinsel Town Frost (white hair mixed with tinsel) instead of Frostbite (a white) and given me an extra bag of Paradise (pink) which was oddly labeled as Pink Frost, another hank which I had ordered as well.
I contacted the owner about this and she appologized for the misshap, told me I could keep the hair and that she would send a new bag of Frostbite to me. She seemed really nice.
The hair was packaged a bit messily, a few hair stack out of the bags.. not really a problem, just a bit of a differance from Dolly Hair who had very neatly packed hair. Some of the nylon hanks was cut in half and felt like RestoreDoll, this was due to that she had a change of manufacturer and put these on sale with the same price as the other nylon. There is little to no way of knowing which hair is like the Restore doll hair currently but I told her that it could be a good idea to put a sign or something which would indicate which type it is.
For now I can only tell you which hanks I got which was like the Restore doll hair. Think Pink, Oceana and Aniseed.
They have a lot of different type of hair, Saran, Nylon, Kanekalon and Acetete and a lot of different colors.
So, all in all, I do think I can recomend Retro dolls. It was a pleasant experience even with the little mixup, and I do think they be about as good as dolly hair once they get a better register of MLP hair matches.
Tomorrow I will be checking if any of the colors I bought matches the ponies hair, I will then post the results here!
