Husband of the Monster

[DollyKim]

Marisol's feet didn't even occur to me.

Here's Porter, why he doesn't glow in the dark I'll never know. I fluffed up his crunchy curls with a baby powder shampoo. I guess his thing is being a street artist. Wrists and ankles and all that.





If I counted correctly I have 78 Monsters, 6 are doubled characters, 6 are reroots. My name is Kim and I have a Monster problem.

Hello Kim, thank you for sharing, I think most of us have the same problem here

I stopped counting when I reached 100 this is, however, including customs, knitting models and those poor un I plan to customize some day when the constellations are right (and I have time and motivaion)

[DollyKim]

I didn't count the reroots I want to sell or those who haven't been rerooted but it's still under 100.

My biggest problem is space. The Monsters have taken up two rows of my doll shelf, the PTEs another row, which has kicked off everyone else. I'd like to be able to see and enjoy them more.

I hear you--space is the biggest problem always, isn't it?! My sister and I always laugh a bit at ourselves when we hear Rapunzel's song in the part that she sings '...I'm sure there's room somewhere...?' doubtfully to herself.

Anyway, we sort of solved some of the problem with floating shelves. Have you tried those? I have four in my room and my sister has three so far. I have two of mine hung as high up on the wall they can go and still accommodate doll height (about 13-15" from the ceiling). Mine are four feet long and about 8" wide and only 2" tall, so they really help maximize doll shelf space.

However, they are somewhat difficult to locate in the four foot length size. I finally managed to find them at Home Depot but I'm not sure if they're being restocked or just the last of them as the ones I purchased were extremely dusty (on the wrapper, but fine inside) and two other Home Depots I visited did not carry them at all. ^^;;

The walls in this place are made out of paper, I wish I could hang a shelf on them. Otherwise I'd love to have some high up shelves for dolls I don't play with much.

yeah, I gotta move my few gundam models out of the way so I can have more space for dolls. I promised I'd buy myself a new monster if I passed my tests, so I get to get my reward today :3

I got the ghost-mermaid hybrid for Christmas. She's really cool! She even has a fancy tail that allows her to stand on her own.



P.S. where are you all finding guys? I've been looking everywhere for a Jackson Jekel. All I can find is the *ahem* effeminate unicorn man.

[Anderson'sAllPurpose]

When it comes to collection size I feel like a bit of a lightweight, but somehow I've still got dolls *everywhere*. I need to invest in one of those cheap IKEA glass cupboards, and maybe a few crates to store the ones that don't fit in it.

In case anyone else was wondering, apparently Marisol's feet are a new, bigger mold:

The only Jackson out right now would be in the Toys R Us picnic set with Frankie.

Now I usually get my Monsters on line or the brick and mortar version of the store. Regular Jackson came out years ago and Gloom Beach years before that. Tell Mattel to put out a Jackson/Holt set like they did with Deuce and Gil.

I'm having the same issue. I had to make some cuts to the Barbie horde and box some up and store them. It didn't do much good. I'm thinking that Breyer horses in the living room are a suitable trade off at this point.

I've also mentioned to the hubs that I'd like to install custom shelving. Hopefully this will happen sooner rather than later.
