The new dolls (Venus, Rochelle, Robecca etc) seem to be available in taobao... There's also SDCC Frankie, Cupid, the signature wave 1 dolls.. That place is evil! :silly:

No I am afraid not...those are deposit pages...this is why people need to be so careful on Taobao - these are suppliers who are expecting stock [hopefully] and asking for a down payment against the item...they are listed at 100YUAN which is around £10 for a deposit - you need to contact the supplier for a "final" total but you should note that the price quoted may be not what you pay...you may pay more or even a little less.

Taobao does not make sense for MH purchases they are simply too expensive...unlike with ponies which tend to be a little more reasonable. This is because most MH items are packaged where as a lot of pony pieces are factory test/fun/reject or simply loose items.

Agreed. I was looking at the prices and really it's just too prohibitive to get the items. For instance, for Holt it would cost over $100 USD just to get it shipped to the AGENT. That didn't include shipping charges on to me.

Just saw the new green witch CAM coming out and I LOVE her. But I'm sooo pissed that she doesn't come with a green torso.

Pic please?

I got Howleen today! I like her much more than I did at first. Clawdeen is pretty awesome too even though she is missing a sock (and stands!).

They seemed to have 'on hand' most of the signature dolls, SDCC and stuff like that. The new dolls didn't have even pics taken by the 'sellers' so I can see those may not be available so easily. Just mentioned this while participating a group order (of ponies) in case someone wants to take a peek. Sorry if I'm confusing everyone.

After a lot of time and patience and a pair of scissors, my Clawdeen finally has a progressive haircut:

Just thought I'd put in a mention that I'm currently looking to buy the white dress that Sweet 1600 Clawd comes with if anyone is looking to sell one.   ^.^

She looks great EmBee! I've always loved DOTD Clawdeen, but something about her choppy layers has always seemed a bit off to me. I think I would have done the same if I were to get her.

I still do not have her name, I need to make her clothes, and I need some flat clear coat to seal her paint...  But here are some pics of my new custom MH girl!

She is based on a snow leopard, so not really a 'monster' per se.  But I love how she came out!  Her hair is actually two-toned from dying it, but my camera will just not pic it up.  :/  I dyed the last about 3/4 ths of it purple, leaving the part closest her head blue.  (She was a Dead Tired Ghoulia.) 


Anyway, what do you all think of her so far?  <3   I might add some whisker spots to her, and maybe some spots to her face.   I just need to decide.  And I just realized she still needs eyebrows!!

I personally think you should back up and work on the eyes a bit more.She looks very startled and a little bug eyed.I would recommend thickening the upper eye line and adding a few more eyelashes.I say try studying another girl of yours while you do it,get a feel for how their eyes are designed.
Along with this,I also think the lips need a little editing as well.She looks like shes frowning.
But don't worry!You're doing great for a first timer.I love the spots,you did a great job n making them look organic.I'm sure she'll look great.
I also think that instead of the line connecting the eyes and nose you should have taken a chalk pastel and created dark shadows around the nose for a more subtle look,but thats almost purely opinion.Maybe some spots on the body too?
Good luck!

Worked some more on Neri today since I finally got around to snagging and Lagoona uniform (I need another one but they only had one left! >.<)

I gave her some tiny, staggered braids.
