Another travel doll?

Would anyone be interested in doing another travel doll? What about a Monster High? Or a soft knit/crochet/rag doll? They would be 1/6 scale to keep shipping reasonable. I'd have no problem finding a doll or posting her adventures here and on a blog.

What all would need to be involved with managing one?

A travel doll? Like a doll that is passed along all over the world?! That's a great idea, I wouldn't be able to participate but I wish you luck in getting this started! I'm sure there would be many ways to do this, but one thing I think would be cool would be a floating head that each person gives a different faceup. It would be a great way to see how much potential a single sculpt could have. Obviously that would be difficult to implement, and it would require participants to have some sort of faceup skill (which I don't Dx ), but it would be an interesting thing to try. That is just one option however.

It would be a whole doll with a face who would visit different people. If you hang around and become a regular, and by the time this gets going if it does, you might be able to participate.

Ohh okay. I was just discussing what would interest me in particular. I don't think I would participate in any case, given that I would worry too much about something going wrong while I had the doll. xD Not that I'd necessarily /expect/ that. Also I'd need to build up trust in the community first, I am 'back from the dead' after all.
That said, I think this sort of thing would be a fun activity in general, and I would love to see photos of said doll.

I'm interested. Something light weight and easy to find a box to ship in. We have the holidays coming up so there's more and new dolls going to be around. Also gift boxes could be used for shipping.

maybe using something like a hujoo baby, where they are pocket size and really light to ship?

My thoughts are to a 1/6 Obitsu, Barbie, or Monster High because their plastic is a bit more flexible than a Hujoo. The way delivery people treat things I'd like someone tough. I think the previous traveler was an Obitsu.

She was an Obitsu, I remember her well - such a lovely little doll. Not a bad idea. It was a lot of fun the first time.

I remember reading through the travel thread for the first doll way back when I was new to JunkySpot, she had some fun adventures! I could never figure out how her travels ended from the thread, though. Did she get lost in the mail? Or decide to live with someone?
