Yeah, I've heard that they can feel pretty overwhelming. I don't think I've ever had anything this size. Also... stick her to the fridge? That can be done?

I have a few large vinyl dolls and I just keep them dressed in light clothes and wigs that have skin-colored or white caps. It seems to work pretty well in preventing stains. And I will say vinyl girls are WAY lighter than resin girls. I have a lot of 1/3 resins and while I love them, my vinyls are definitely easier to manage when posing them for pictures and such. So you made a pretty good choice if you're just getting into the larger scale dolls.
I am looking into like a body suit type thing, though it's gonna be a while until I can afford one. I will look at the arts and crafts sort to see if they've got anything that works as a good stain remover for vinyl in the meantime. (Unless anyone has a rec for the good one that is easier to get within the UK.) Yeah, I'm feeling... very nervous about the resin side of things so I was thinking of sticking to vinyl until I felt more ... I can't think of the right word for it. Thank you, though!
