Cherry's New Stuff! (mostly a review)

Postby embyquinn » Wed Jul 18, 2012 1:31 pm

Cherry is so excited about my new photo-taking capabilities. When I went shopping for her last weekend, she bugged me until I did a photostory for her. Turns out she wants to share her opinions on what I bought for her. So, here she is.

Image

Yeah, I buy more for my doll than I do for myself. The last major purchase I made for myself was a cell phone. With a camera. So I could take pictures. Of my doll. I have no life. :B

Image

I agonized for days over which box to buy. There were several different styles, and various backdrops, and the largest ones could indeed pass for a 1/6 background, but I wanted a carrying case with a handle. So.

Image

Yeah, what she said.

Image

Tell 'em Margaret in Mobile recommended these to you!

Image

Short answer: I got a new pair of eyes and a mannequin. Seriously, Spinmaster, what were you thinking?! No waist joint, no arm joints, stupid non-swiveling single-jointed legs, no ankle joint...even the face paint is blah. I'm ditching the doll as soon as I pry out those pretty hazel eyes. Srsly.

Image

The wig really does feel nice, and I like the variegated shades of pink that give the wig depth and dimension. However...

Image

I'm sure it would fit better with the peg on a Liv doll, but I had to cut out the peg for Cherry, who has a Moxie Teenz head. It really doesn't fit nearly as well as earlier-issue Liv wigs because the wig cap is very thin and even the rooting looks shoddy.

Image

Ut-oh, she's flattering me. She must want something.

Image

I KNEW IT. The little suckup.

Image

I can make simple shoes--leather ballerina flats, ribbon sandals and the like--but Liv feet are really hard to fit in most other shoes. A few old Skipper shoes, certain Barbie boots, and some off-brand soft plastic shoes from China. That's about it.

Image

She really does look nice in that wig. I might have to add a band inside it or something to make it fit her better.

Well... now I know what is the next box for my growing mass of dollieh stuff that I want to purchase... but unfortunately we don't have Sears here XD I love pink, especially on wigs, and it fits Cherry a lot! I love the shoes too. Obviously, I have the same problem with my only Liv girl, Iris... I actually have only two pair of shoes that fits her, some off-brand Chinese mary-janes and a pair of boots sold as "Jenny" ones, and no other Liv dolls to robber because they never arrived in Italian shops ^_^'''

If you don't care if you ruin the head, getting Liv eyes out is easiest if you cut through the front of the face at the corners of the eyes, then pop them out. >_> I've done it a couple of times, and going in truogh the back of the head is more trouble than it's worht if you're not planning on saving it.
I have so many dolls that I can't fit all their names in my signature anymore. @__@

@DeeDee: The box is produced by a company called "Tri Coastal Designs", if that's any help. You might want to look and see if they sell in any of your local shops. And finding shoes for Cherry is a pain in the patootie, but I still love her so much that I'm willing to go the extra mile for her.

@Mica: The box I have is called a travel case, and the design from Tri Coastal is called "Window Shopping" and comes in three sizes. We still have some in stock here at Sears but it's not available through Sears Online anymore, sadly. If you don't have a Sears nearby, you might check Ebay.

@Gift_in_Edge: Isn't she just? I have over twenty wigs for her, but although I can sometimes coax her into a different color for cosplay, when left to her own devices she HAS to have pink, and usually it's the pink fur wig I made for her. I'm hoping to coax her into wearing this new one more often since it looks so stunning on her, but I have to find a way to make it fit her better--it keeps falling off, and that's a problem she NEVER had before. It's frustrating as HFIL.
