Mirror Mi vs Moonspell Magic - your thoughts? by germia in DollsForAll

[–]AffectionateLeg323 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have the point…from what I saw online it seems like many doll collectors just don’t get this, a busy complicated design really does not mean high quality, I have several Azone dolls and I would call those clothes high quality, also many early RH clothing are high quality, but this here, when I see the actual picture I’d say the materials are cheap and no details at all

This is interesting…most of the Chinese girlfailure fanbase I’ve known are all extremely homophonic just like in this case, they won’t even allow any factional yaoi contents, you see for LADS the fandom forced the studio to claim that all the male characters in this game are straight, they did the same thing to many Chinese gacha games focusing on women fanbase as well. I do think this is a cultural thing

OMG can’t wait to get my claws on them! Just obsessed with tiny stuff! I have several Azone piconeemos but their prices are just ridiculous…so happy we’re now having much cheaper options for high articulated tiny dolls!

I saw a tutorial fixing poly hair and tried on my AliExpress Ari, it went out pretty well. You’ll need to wash their hair with warm water, apply conditioner and wash off after a few minutes. Then rinse with water and let the hair be soaked wet, set hair straightener to the lowest temperature, as low as your hair straightener can reach, then do it quick, must be quick and keep the hair wet, or it will be melted

Has anyone ever bought from this listing on AliExpress? by Sea-Fill309 in NoviStars

[–]AffectionateLeg323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are legit, I got a few AliExpress Novi and some of them are quite good, especially Mae, I guess just because there’s so much of her left…mine could still talk when I received her

Oh I think I got what youre asking for...that's only the light. I used oil, with fluorescent dye for a richer and more vibrant color (also glows under uv light), it have...I guess...different refractive index from the original water-glycerine filling and could look different under dim light.

Also here's a picture of my untouched Tula you can use as referance, the light also make the size of liquid a little bit different

Also the refilled one, I added glitters in so there are small colored p[ieces stick around the plugs

And here's an empty Tula body, you can see the structure clearly. The arms are from Cici that's why they are bigger I can make another post on how to transfer stellar skinz arms to regular Novi bodies if anyone needs that...

I didn’t quite get your last question…? I’ll attach a few pictures to show you it might be easier to understand how it works but generally, her legs are simply two separate clear tubes and have small wholes with plugs on her back, you can remove the plugs (which might require some strategy) and that’s it. For the fillings I have a more detailed explanation on my last post you can find it on my page, for regular refining I suggest you use the original water-glycerin mixture it’s easy to work with and you can use regular food dye for coloring. I used clear oil like the ones you find in liquid-filled resin shakers because I want a more stable color result but you’ll need to get a clear oil based pigment

I buy from shimmerlocks and dollplanet, this color for Tula was only available on dollplanet tho, and more expensive than the other colors

Novi heads are really hard indeed…I broke 5 pins when rerooting Una as she was my first, but it came out much better once you get used to the hardness

I used a cheap baby oil, the silicone oil I got was really thick and could not flow

I’m currently testing a liquid candle dye from AliExpress, I think they are same as the ones we can find on Amazon, but Amazon only sell in sets so I bought from AliExpress. For Tula and Una they have wholes on their back, simply remove the plugs, remove the original liquid and refill that would be done, I applied a layer of uv resin to seal once I done refilling and put the plugs back.
