Sea Wees/Honey Hill Bunch

Maybe I should say that I can never find any that I'm willing to pay what they're asking...I just don't want to pay $30 for a Shimmer with tangled hair and smudged paint, lol.  I'll have to start checking the MP more for things other than ponies.

You did a GREAT job with the hair on the loose girls, they look perfect!

Oh, I don't blame you!  But keep an eye on them and you can snag a deal.  I just saw a realy nice Skylite sell for only $15, and her hair was still in the original topknot.  No accessories, though.  But I actually see the skirts and shawls listed regularly by themselves too, and they can be quite reasonable now (though 10 yrs ago they were really HTF and expensive).  I got the 6 decarded adults (2 Sunstreaks) for only $50 on Ebay; I was surprised the auction sold so low.

If you're worried about them getting water logged in the washer, you can probably clean them with upholstry cleaner in a kitchen sink.  Just test a small area first to make sure there's no bad reaction.  Leave it sit according to instructions, then scrub.  This way, you can keep their heads out of the water.  My mom has used this method on numerous dolls with soft, non vinyl bodies with excellent results.
