Just wanted to share my display, and a dumb question
« on: January 13, 2013, 10:16:40 AM »
I am so sorry if this belongs in pic spam, I had a look, and it didn't seem to fit....

Anyways...

I have been working on a display of the dolls I've bought since I moved to the USA in August last year (the rest of my dolls are still in Australia).  Back in Aus, I used to just display them on their stands, it was pretty boring really.  Here for lack of space, I had to do something different, and I am so glad I did.

Some of the girls are getting a little lost up the back, but generally I'm pretty happy.  How do you display yours?  Pics are definitely welcome.

Now onto my dumb question.  With the later CAM packs (particularly the boys) do they all come with enough torsos?  If not, what do you do for extras, especially with the boys, who are hard to come by in the first place.

I love that huge pony!  What is it?  *knows not one thing about ponies*

With the latter CAMs, the Starter sets are all complete!  Yay!  BUT the Add-Ons are, sadly, not:(  So you'd have to find torsos and upper limbs to complete them -_-  Plastic Curves sells a muscular male torso for the Puma Add-On.....

Mattel released a torso pack to complete the previous Add-Ons.  So, you could find all the parts for all the CAMs EXCEPT for the Harpy, Siren, Ghost, Puma, Mystical and Nocturnal Lab sets.  (I think that's all of them :wonder:  Someone correct me if I'm wrong!)  Of course, there are people who use extra torsos they have laying around and are happy with them even if they aren't a perfect match.

Love your set up!  Someday I'd like to be organized enough to have a set space for all my things :lol:

Had to take an updated photo. :)

This is how I display mine. I bought a desk that would be perfect for this :) This way, they surround me while I have to work :)

Thanks everyone. I don't want to hijack the thread,  :blush: but I got the cups in the party section at Wal-Mart. They were only 98 cents or something like that. I keep pens and chocolate in them :)

I have been very blessed to have found the newer releases. My Scaris Deuce was one of the ones that had the green paint rub all over the front of the box, but I can't find any paint loss on his snakes, so I'm happy.

Rayedelsol, I want to come play, lol!!


Xeevee, I wonder about adding a small set of Christmas lights, or even a battery powered small stick light to help illuminate the ones in the back?


My first is my main shelf, they sit above some of my sewing supplies, so pardon my mess!

The next is the Cleo room box I made over the summer. They are always having parties, they just change the guests!

grzankitter:  She's a giant blank pony that were used in the Pony Project by artists.  The blanks are awesome.  Plus she looks cool with the dolls sitting on her.

That is a great idea.  I will have to look into it.  I love your little room set up.  A real little snap shot setting.

Your display looks awesome! Sometime this week, I was going to get to work on displaying my dolls in our glass cabinet; originally, I was going to put them in stands and display them standing, but I really like the sort of intimate look your display has more so I think I'll just display them like a big panoramic group shot.
