I haven't got anything to carry my lot about in. I've really got to get on that. I have been eyeing an etsy shop that makes padded interior wooden coffins with handles for all sizes. Even messaged her and had fabric all picked out but I Just found out I get to be out 700.00 to replace my car air conditioner. so I have to put that idea on hold as well as two of the girls I was planning on getting soon. poor Ryannon is going to have to do without most of her court for a bit. *pout* I suppose I could always make my own. Would be cheaper in the long run.\

A wall hanger sounds amazing. I also like the idea of book... cases. Big hollowed out books if I ever get a doll I can use that idea on.

If you're still having problems with the musty box Dollykim, you could try fabric softener sheets layered in there for a little while. It works on old vinyl toys, so it should on old vinyl cases too. And for the Monster High girls... wait until Halloween, and try to scoop up some coffin shaped packaging or decorations? I know a couple years back Target had some gorgeous resin coffins that were MSD sized, and I have a gothicky coffin jewelry case that would be great for a smallish 1/6 girl and all her accessories.

I don't really have much to carry my crew in. I usually prop 'em on my hand or in Haruka and Riven's case pose them until their pretty much in a ball and into the pocket or purse they go. (Haruka despises it.)

I don't have any kind of case for them or anything... they don't really leave my room very often, much less the house.

>__> and I would probably just drop them in my purse if I wanted to take them anywhere.
I have so many dolls that I can't fit all their names in my signature anymore. @__@

I have an old Bratz case that has little compartments inside along with straps to hold dolls in. I recovered it because the front was purple and sparkly and said Bratz on it, hehe.

But it works well, and the compartments work well for clothing and accessories.

I've kept dryer sheets in the old case, to no avail and it's packed up so I can't so kitty litter yet. I have one of the Target coffins too and you can fit 2 Dollzone minis in it. I assume that's where Xavier and Jibriel made their tiny children. With my pair of Bratz I lucked out and managed to get the Punk hat box. For carting around a big number of 1/6 scale dolls they make a wheeled pink plastic Barbie container. Although I've fit more in a storage tub from Target that has 'objects, things, stuff...' written all over it.

I'm not not wanting to have dolls locked away in their cases where they can't be seen. I remember years ago Barbie had a great idea with a case/closet with a clear front. You could see the doll and their clothes hanging in the closet part.

I hope the Esty coffin is a good price, I've played around with making a few but they aren't impossible. In tutorials I printed a link to a cardboard coffin for Monster High.
