New wig for Patsy (updated photo 11/26)

First off, I'm a bit confused as to where a Patsy doll should be posted. She is only 10" tall, but she is 1/4 scale because she's a toddler. If this is in the wrong forum, please excuse and please move to correct one.

I really hated the wig on my new blonde Patsy so I ordered two new ones from Facets. Unfortunately when I opened the package today, I found one was the wrong style and I emailed to see how to return and get the right one. However, I did put on the one that was right and while I don't love it, I don't hate it either.

The color is called Honey Blond and the style is "Bubbles." Since her original was supposed to be permanent, I had to scrape it loose, and there is still some dried glue residue I have yet to clean off. (Any ideas? Will goo-gone be safe to try?) I ordered a silicone cap to help keep it in place and it seems to work pretty well. The other wig is an updo called Coco. I have one on my Ai Nerine in red and I liked it so much, I thought it might work on Patsy too. I'll post a pic here when I get it.

Here she is with her sister in her new matching dress and tee. They are playing My Little Pony. :D

They are so cute playing my little pony together!

I'm not sure about the wig glue. I'm still working up the nerve for this tutorial:

But maybe the authors of those blogs can help.

Thanks for the links! I think I'm still too chicken to change out her eyes at this point, but maybe someday. I sure liked the green eyes. The second blog showed the same Pretty Party Patsy as my first one. Pretty Party Patsy came with a much nicer wig than the blonde. I'll probably try to wash some of the glue off first.

Well good luck with her! Patsy is such a cute little girl. I love how serious her expression is. Just like a determined toddler.

I got it from Facets by Marcia and it's called "Coco" in the Honey Blonde color.
