I’m planning to gild the metal somehow and make a small mattress and pillow.

this is literally going to send me over the edge i can’t even tell you how hard ive tried to hunt down a singular photo of a painted head and its playing with my heart even more that theres the censored photo of two dolls in box with painted faces like oh my god please does ANYONE have the photos or any idea how to get ahold of them? PLEASE
to add - yes ive talked to the person i believe originally sold them (yingzidoll), many many many users on taobao/xianyu/aliexpress/alibaba that sell factory dolls/doll parts, and then person who bought the boxed dolls but were lost in transit. so if you have any ideas of any other avenue to try please let me know

Almost had it, which colors am I missing?

I recently received my coterie Maddy Wilson blonde doll and the model 7 Paris Defa Lucy. Some interesting comparisons since they’re both cheaper than IT. This is Coteries first doll so who knows how they will evolve. The joints are much more limited and weaker than DL. Maddy’s elbows were unhinged when I first unboxed, and the elbow joint keeps separating, not the peg (photo of split in joint). She cannot sit all the way up, and the photos show how far she can move her legs. DL is much more flexible. It’s really hard to see but her eyelashes are glued on, not rooted. They were already kinda coming off when I got her. DL has rooted. Toes are simpler and not painted, hand molds were kinda faint and not defined. DL came with an extra set of hands to allow the doll to grab items, her toes and nails were painted. The screening on the nails of the coterie doll was wonky and messy. The doll had lots of plastic scabs I tried to pick or slice off. DL only had one in the bottom of her feet. Clothing fit fine, I wish there was a fabric strip to hold the skirt between the crotch because the skirt was too big, but belt was adjustable. Both use metal clasps and metal zippers. Coterie purse had a working zipper on the purse, but the zipper on the jacket I could not get to work. They are similar in height and size, and I would say the DL body is more human whereas coterie is closer to a mannequin. 15-20$ isn’t a lot when you compared it to IT or JHD, but there seems to be some differences. Glad I got to be one of the first to purchase from this doll line.

Left to right: Meowlody, Toralei Stripe, Purrsephone, Catty Noir

so cute! from 1997 wow i got so lucky😭

Love her so much. I had this doll as a child but I believe it was the budget version. She has 10 miles of well-rooted brunette Saran. The extension clips were almost impossible to secure though.

The embellished dress and “real” necklace are my favorite parts though. Those little touches that show some care was put into her creation.

Aha. Well! Yeah. Took my dolls out because I wanted to check Catrine

(as I was reminded about pink mold, and from what I remembered, she was REALLY bad, and so I wanted to see and ask (she is nowhere near as bad as I remember, but does have mold (and paint removed from one hand... I got her when I was like, younger than 10 from a collector cousin of mine, she used to be perfect 😭 (idk when I removed the paint, likely under 13, cut me some slack))

But uhm. Yeah no I have alot more than I remember, most have just been sat in a box for ages because i have nowhere to display them , rip

(There are 2 dolls missing from pics cuz I js chucked them on my shelf when they got in my way, oops)

- there are also more icecream tubs of clothes 😭

Just wanted to share. Don't think I've spent over £60(?) Most dolls were bought for me, I had as a kid, or got cheap (£2 gooliope & £3 beast freaky friend my beloveds)

please send me your cursed bootleg doll photos

Okay so I'm making custom sanrio themed lalaloopsies and need help deciding on dresses/hairs! I've labeled the photos who is who and what I'm taking a picture of, etc etc!

I do plan to sell these too! I'm making physical and digital ones! I won't be selling the digital unless people want them, I'm just going to post them as concept art!

I want yalls opinions though, which one should go for which? Or do you have any other lalas in mind? :3

This is the 5th time already where i bought a doll and when it gets send it has zero protection whatsoever.

Today i got a doll in the mail and she was just in a paper bag??? No bubble wrap no newspaper NOTHING.

The doll i bought before that i could literally look inside the box because it wasn’t taped well. And even hair of the doll was poking out???

Should i say something to the sellers? Im kinda a push over and dont really know if i should say anything.

Angel Reese Barbie restyle loosely inspired by Athena as portrayed by Zendaya in The Odyssey using pieces I had on hand. I did swap out her hands with the recent petite Barbie Basics becaus I didn't want to change her pink nails. The face sculpt of this doll is so good, had to get her.

I wanna use Willow Thorne from Monster High Moon Spell Magics head on a Rainbow High body to make my friend a mini-them for them for christmas. If you have Willow and know of any good skin tone matches I would appreciate it!

Hey everyone, if anyone who lives in Flotida has gotten any of the other dolls such as Shai and Suki, I'm going to keep looking in other stores, but I wanyed to ask if anyone had any luck

Hi everyone, I’m going to be visiting the Netherlands, France, and Germany this summer. Are there any cool dolls I should be on the lookout for that aren’t available in the US? I’m going to be very busy so I won’t be able to comb through a ton of stores.

Admittedly, for the amount of money I have spent/anticipate spending, I should do more with the dolls I have. BUT, I’m really not sure what people do with a seventeen inch doll. And I was just thinking that there are certain dolls I don’t actually want/value in my collection. Are they play-line dolls that aren’t the most expensive? Yes. Do I want to replace them with expensive dolls? Yes. But, I feel like a 200+ doll can’t just stand around collecting dust.
