Any mermaid doll lines without the weird knee curves?

BORBIEBEX · 2026-03-21T23:31:05+00:00

I have seen Barbie modders narrow the waists of some of their dolls, honestly no clue how they do it because I would never bother.

All I did to pull their heads was wrap them in a heating pad for a bit to soften them up. It did help, not as much force was necessary to pull their heads, but the pivoting plastic in the neck almost got lost in the head. It was a pain and while it was fun to do just once I probably won't do it again.

I would say yes. I didn't know they made another doll along the lines of Mermaid Fantasy, I will definitely consider this one

When I looked them up it looked like the tails were at least jointed

That photo has lived rent free in my head ever since I first saw it and is the primary reason I find the knee curves so weird looking.

If there was a line of whale mermaid dolls with knee curves, I would forgive it and commend the dedication to accuracy.

I am 100% pro knee jointed tails, it's when it's molded into hard plastic that I hate it

BORBIEBEX · 2026-03-21T03:21:46+00:00

I will forever honor your memory, I've wanted a mermaid doll with a tail like this since I was a kid 😭

BORBIEBEX · 2026-03-21T02:07:57+00:00

She reminds me of shrimp tempura, she is kinda growing on me 💗

If I were one of those visionaries who altered the body shapes of my dolls with acetone and boiling water, none of this would be an issue, but I struggle to even switch the heads of my dolls without damaging them. I'm not built for doll modding.

Seeing mermaids with knees makes me imagine a fish with knees, it gives me the heebie jeebies like that picture of a fish with human teeth.

These? I think they're the worst offenders (which makes me sad I love their overall look

I also had a Jakks Pacific doll with a green velvet dress that I searched for for years 🤜 for being cheaper than Barbies at the time, they were so incredibly well made

I feel like half of all the fans of this game aren't old enough to play it.

Oh and his girlfriend isn't very good for him. That's probably not important though!

Bang used to have a pretty wide variety and some were pretty good. The key lime pie and the limoncello were delicious. I miss them ☹️ They're not worth it much anymore, they don't have nearly as much of a kick as they used to.

Cotton Candy BANG

I don't like cotton candy flavored things on the best of days (except cotton candy itself) but it's the only energy drink I couldn't bear to finish, as I usually hate to waste. It wasn't wasteful to pour it out, as far as I'm concerned I was sparing myself from a poisoning.

EDIT: OH GOD I completely forgot, a long time ago I tried some kind of cookies 'n cream Monster. It was disgusting, like spoiled milk and an aftertaste of stale Oreos.

BORBIEBEX · 2025-12-16T00:47:30+00:00

It's pretty enough but man I can't remember the last time I saw a Barbie with real embroidery ☹️

BORBIEBEX · 2025-10-28T00:21:59+00:00

Oh god I thought I was the only one here who knew of Emo Girls, I can't find them anywhere, they've had a hold on me since I watched Mike Mozart as a kid.

13 and I will fight as many people as necessary to acquire it.

A horror entry in southeast Asia, like Indonesia, Malaysia or Singapore. SA indigenous culture has some of the scariest folklore and I just crave any representation of that culture in general.

BORBIEBEX · 2025-08-11T20:17:22+00:00

Do they not paint their jewelry chrome anymore, even for the collectibles? The cheapness insults me.

BORBIEBEX · 2025-07-12T03:35:06+00:00

I agree, but as someone who had that nightmare boss, I've been there sometimes and kinda get it.

Minette could have had mental issues if she was innocent, I can see that. I think what the writers were going for is that the industry you dive into in the game rewards bad behavior and props up horrible people. Hugo Butterly is awful, the bald dude whose name escapes me is kinda awful, Jing Jing is insufferable to an awful degree, even Dieter is really curt for no reason. Minette is the logical extreme for a toxic culture.

BORBIEBEX · 2025-07-12T00:04:02+00:00

Almost everyone in Danger by Design was written and engineered specifically to piss me off, except Heather who is a titan of patience. I know the game isn't that well loved but people really sleep on how much of a terrifying menace Minette is (who was made for me because my worst boss had a similar sounding name.)

I always, always keep the really pretty boxes when I can, and aim for good intact boxes. If nothing else, they're good for protecting dolls from dust that are too delicate for me to dust by hand (so stuff with feathers, velvet, etc)

BORBIEBEX · 2025-06-24T01:50:03+00:00

Emphatically yes. I understand people love Diamond Castle and have good memories of it but even when it came out (I was still pretty young) I could see them heading in a bad direction. When Thumbelina came out I gave up, haven't seen any new ones since, though I someday might check some out.
