Dollieh temptations and plans

That's interesting to know, I have a bunch of 90s Teen Skippers but I also have a ship load of clothes so any replacement bodies would need to fit those. I have a surfing Skipper and basketball Stacey I haven't been able to try yet.

I was meaning the really old school like the Mod era heads I've been rerooting. Altho having one for the Starr doll Tracey would be nice. She matches the first round of Malibu dolls.

Since heads sometimes change color over time, it's probably going to be one of those "it'll fit one but not the other" kind of circumstances.

Since you don't want to know, I won't tell you the blonde hiker is a pretty good match for a Teen Skipper I have that has the orangeish undertone from the 90s.

*sideeyes one of the more difficult-to-match older heads and goes to update wishlist*

If anyone gets the 1/6 scale Bill and Ted can I come over and make a mold of Bill's face? I'd love an Alex Winter but with a slightly more intelligent expression which I'd work the positive into. And perhaps an Eddie the flying gump.

I am totally aware of the guy on Ebay who makes alternate heads, it's the super long wait time I don't want. I also know I could make one but I don't know when the stars will align again.

If you do know of a sculpt that could be easily converted that would be nice too.

*Remembers the name of a shop that parts out dolls and finds heads. Now I need to look thru the stash for bodies with the right neck knobs.

Some years back I dressed one of my Tonner American Models as Belle from Once Upon A Time and bought another AM to dress her as Ruby. Was never able to find the fabric I wanted, but I've found some finally on Etsy that I think will do. Now the hardest part is to acquire some better pattern making skills. I have a 3rd AM that would look pretty good as Regina, so I may take on that project next. Just waiting on fabric from 3 different Etsy sites.

My go-to for pattern making is paper towels/kitchen roll, tape, and a pen. The easiest way to make something complicated sometimes is to build it straight into the doll. Plus, the thickness of the paper towels helps account for the thickness of fabric.

MGA did their stock market call thingy, so there's a lot of reports on what they're releasing this year. Rainbow High is getting a winter line, which I'm a fan of, but I'm also annoyed that they're making it more expensive than the regular one when you're getting the same amount of stuff, but I realize that they are in the business of making money, and I know I'm gonna suck it up and pay it for Sunny and Vivi's wardrobes to have winter wear.

Not as crazy about what they announced for Na Na Na Surprise, but my opinion might be swayed by brightly colored pictures later!

I'm still really hoping for Rainbow High fashion packs soon. I would absolutely shell out the cash for fashion packs.

Wanting clothes is how I got into buying extra Monsters and teaching myself to reroot them.

So after two years, I finally paid for the outdoor building I've been wanting to get to convert into a workshop for all my projects/doll stuff. Once it's delivered, I'll begin the process of wiring, insulating, and laying down flooring.

I'm planning to run an intervention for myself. My doll buying's gotten ridiculous.
