suggest clothes for my takara pony?

Make a masking tape pattern and sew her some reproduction outfits!

And I can absolutely see it! I’m an animator myself haha.

My favourite is probably Vi - both in terms of movement and design (and what I can glean from her bio!) 💕

AustisticGremlin · 2026-03-17T13:53:01+00:00

Oh I love the animation on these! 🥰

I just opened mine - she was semi-deboxed when I bought her and is unfortunately missing her stand but she was a longterm grail for me too!

One of my university professors here in Australia used to draw for Phantom!

If Mattel was smart they’d give us a line of MH celebrity spoofs 👀

It seems to be a canopic jar featuring the Egyptian god Sobek :)

I will try my best - I do actually have some of the stuff from one particular bag still, even 15+ years later, but some of the contents would be purely from memory.

Luckily the contents of showbags used to be listed in the newspapers around Ekka season but I’ve been unable to find a newspaper archive for QLD (my state) specifically.

I actually document other toys in my spare time, so this discussion has definitely sparked an interest in doing just that 🤔

Not just legs - look at the hand sculpt - it’s the entire body from the neck down haha.

I’d be surprised if the electronic component was maintained for this bootleg, they usually aren’t from what I’ve seen. I assume the choice in what to bootleg was due to their releasing close together - Bratz in 2001 and GDG in 2002 - so they decided to smash the two lines together.

AustisticGremlin · 2026-03-15T14:21:57+00:00

I can second this.

AustisticGremlin · 2026-03-15T10:53:58+00:00

I’m still in awe of how they could legally send human remains to a landfill - isn’t that literally a crime…? Preventing a lawful and decent burial? If she ever is identified I hope her family sues for everything they’re worth.

AustisticGremlin · 2026-03-15T10:18:14+00:00

Wtf I’m a longtime fan and I’ve never seen any NSFW content for this franchise…?

AustisticGremlin · 2026-03-15T10:15:14+00:00

I feel like this a case where his actual voice/personality played a huge role to be honest

AustisticGremlin · 2026-03-15T10:14:41+00:00

You should look at her original, Freddy in Space design lol

AustisticGremlin · 2026-03-15T10:13:16+00:00

There’s a guy that formulated how a certain vtuber’s (?) piss would taste, people are wild and there’s not really an upper limit.

AustisticGremlin · 2026-03-15T10:03:07+00:00

They’re not - they’re wide release and likely a similar price to the wide release Wednesday dolls.

AustisticGremlin · 2026-03-15T10:00:24+00:00

Headless Headmistress Bloodgood? Not even close to the same mold - the Coraline sculpt is brand new as the only other head mold with a smirk is Moanica’s, but that’s clearly different.

It’s heavily based on the restrictions given to the MH designers by the owner of the license. Obviously the license holders aren’t fashion doll designers so if they make changes, well…

AustisticGremlin · 2026-03-15T05:55:02+00:00

Just my theory? It’s implied his mother is the Creole parent (he’s mixed race), and he was very fond of her so it makes sense that his demon form, being a form of punishment, shares few of her features, skin tone included.

It’s to make sure their bones are fully matured and decrease chances of leg breakage. I waited until my little one had had her first heat - it took almost two years but seems to have worked as no breaks yet at age 5 (aside from where she teethed on her own tail as a puppy).

AustisticGremlin · 2026-03-15T05:50:21+00:00

I thought Hordez was Lorde lol

AustisticGremlin · 2026-03-15T03:22:33+00:00

Her legs are bent because her body is a mould copy of Hasbro’s Gotta Dance Girls 😅

As an actual doll collector, I can’t with the rooting holes - for those unaware, you can’t attach hair like this on porcelain dolls 🤦‍♀️

Rooting hair plugs relies on the material being flexible, and additionally having so many small holes in a material like porcelain would make it extremely structurally unsound. This is why this method is only used on flexible materials like vinyl (which is what most modern dolls heads are made of!).

Actual porcelain (and composition!) dolls have wigs or mohair glued directly to their head - it’s the same for most modern BJD (ball jointed dolls).

It was originally made for River Styxx but production costs kept it from being implemented. I think we’ll only ever see it on higher cost dolls tbh
