but the other ones have a hard plastic base, these that I saw today are just stiff fabric.


Oh those! I know exactly what those are. derp

I suppose I should look into getting my own carry bag. Right now I just use an old knitting purse of mine and shove a few scarves in there to protect my doll.

I wrap my Yo-SDs in a super soft blanket and Rio just gets a face-up protector which also helps keep his wig on. I carry them in my Dollieh Sanctuary tote for meets and for trips I usually have them in a blanket and any type of bag with a zipper.
I'm mostly on Tumblr now.

So I finally broke down today and bought a Craftsman tool bag for a carry bag. It's made of cloth but has a stiff frame to keep it from collapsing. It's long enough for my two MSDs to lie down comfortably in the bottom. I figure I'll place them in there on a doll pillow, put a pillow over them, and then layer the YoSD and Tiny on top, along with all their variable accessories. The bag has lots of outside pockets and even came with a strap so I could sling it over my shoulder if I get tired of carrying it (and I am SUCH a fan of messenger bags). ^.^

I'm planning on trying to remove the "Craftsman" logo from the front, since the sight of what is obviously a toolbag might look suspicious in some places. But other than that, it just looks like a really nifty red and black bag. *thumbsup*

Make sure you line it with something so you don't have staining issues from the dyed fabric.

Going to be returning the tool box I purchased. Apparently, what they call "lid storage" is actually just grooves in the top of the lid for like loose screws and stuff as well as a cup holder. >_> I thought they meant compartments... Sooooo returning this ne and going for the basic one. Yeesh.

i have a dual-laptop bag, since its the only thing i could find that fits the monster comp. with all the padding and pockets in it, i can stick in all the 12" dolls i have so far (thou granted i am rough on mine and don't worry about their faces alot). if only taking a few somewhere nearby, i lay them into my warhammer army case, minus one layer of foam padding.
edited to add pic. the left is the laptop bag. each big pocket holds 5 12" dolls comfortably, thou i am sure i could cram in up to 8 if needed. the front pocket can hold 2-3 12" and several minis in the small accesory pockets. nice thing about this bag is if i am going to a con, i can slip luggage-locks into the zippers and not worry about walking in the dealer's room crowds.
the right is the warhammer case, which holds far less and i don't use it as often.

i think for the big doll i'm gonna make a quiver-like case out of a mailing tube for her... not sure yet.

everyone uses a 'doll bag' but me. ♥ people simply cannot believe that i use 'lawn bags' to carry around thousand dollar dolls. i do occasionally pop them into a tote, but as a general rule i use the clear leaf bags that our town provides us for fall clean up.

i put an oxygen mask on the dollie, i position the hands where i can see them, sometimes i have dollie mitts on the hands, and away i go.

i have never had a problem yet. i can always see exactly where the doll is in the bag because the bags are clear.

A clear case with compartments would be neat to show off the little people trapped inside.

they make these neat clear cases for carrying rolled-up art. sadly they only come in 2-3", not wide enough for an 1/3 doll :(
trying my darnest to find one wide enough. it would be awesome to carry one around like that.

edit: with easter here, i found that some of the larger plastic eggies can fit a tiny. i have mika in a med. size kinder one. the only issue is her ears stick up too high so i cant close it all the way, just past the first click.
