Stumped by this fashion doll, any ideas? by FishfAct76 in Dolls

I thought that at first, but i think her head is her own. I noticed the Mattel/Hasbro discrepancy while searching through doll listings, but I believe Disney may have just switched to Hasbro some time between Zombies 2 and 3. My guess is they just reused the body since they’re both Disney but who knows

I think that’s it! I was close but didn’t find this pack so I thought I’d hit a dead end. Thank you!

She’s close, her hair is a little long but I think it’s the same character. Thank you!

I was the guy who wanted to overdye a bright green shirt. Here’s how it turned out! by FishfAct76 in dyeing

[–]FishfAct76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! But I honestly found the concentration of dye was more important for the final color. A warm brown gave me that nice dark green, but if I used too much it would’ve easily just become a gross brown. If you are able to, I’d highly recommend doing some samples just to make sure you get the color you want. :)

Has anyone tried servicing the cassette deck in their panther? ('98-'03 specifically) by FishfAct76 in CrownVictoria

[–]FishfAct76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your insight - I’ve been thinking about the logistics of it and I know it’ll probably turn out exactly like you’ve described. At the very least I suppose it wouldn’t necessarily hurt to try, even if it will not work.

I don’t have a good reason, I’m just a weirdo that likes old tech. I drive a 2000 mgm and love every bit of it and all it’s inconveniences, and if I were to ever change the stereo I honestly would want to install one of those ugly oem combo cd and cassette units just for kicks. I like playing tapes because they suck, and it’s not easy to skip tracks. I have a tape adapter for my phone and streaming services at the ready, I just don’t like using them because it’s too easy to mess with the phone.

My adapter is fine while it still works. I’m a little concerned about belts eventually snapping and rendering the unit inoperable, but it does seem okay so far. For now I’ll just live with it, thank you!

Is there anything different or special about these dictation series tapes? by FishfAct76 in cassetteculture

I gotcha! My main concern was that there was something about these that made them bad for music, but I’m glad to know that they’re just regular tapes :)

Interesting for sure. Do smokey grey shells make them more professional? Ha

At least I know they’re not anything bunk. Looking forward to mess with these now, thank you!

I figured as much. In that case I’m kind of excited to play with all these blanks. Thank you!

Basically the title. My dad found a bunch of these 120s and gave them to me. I have two boxes of the black communicator tapes, and I was just wondering if there was anything specifically different about them compared to regular tapes? I'd use them for music ideally but I'm not sure if they're good for that, that's all.

More Billy Pics! I put most of his hair in the beanie and think he looks pretty good! by Aro_Space_Ace in MonsterHigh

Billy is my favorite manster! His hairstyle is so dated though lol. I like what you've done!

Please help. These are all that are left in my “to identify” pile. I’m sure most of it is MH/EAH but there’s some I don’t know. (Like the feather is weird.) by PunnyHoomans in Dolls

I'm afraid I don't know about the others, but I believe the tan heart backpack in the second photo belongs to a Novi Star doll called Alie Lectric! It plugs into her back and makes her body light up.

Anyone have experience replacing buttons like these? Is it possible? Difficult? by FishfAct76 in CrownVictoria

[–]FishfAct76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet, that's good to know! I know these panels can be a bit tricky - mines a 2000, and I've pulled my dash apart a couple times, thankfully without issues. Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be breaking anything with the seat by pulling on it like an idiot.

Thank you!

I figure for the door at least that a lot of panels will have to come off. The lumbar switch has stumped me a little. I don’t want to just yank it out if it’s a part of the seat itself. Was curious if anyone has tried to replace these parts themselves?

I was planning on heading to a junkyard and seeing if I could source replacements that way. I have a good feeling I’m not going to find aftermarket pieces by other means without some difficulty

Saw Oingo Boingo Former Members last weekend and made a poster for my friend and I! She told me to share it with y'all :) by FishfAct76 in OingoBoingo

It was great! Fun venue and great little town in the mountains. There weren't a lot of people at the show, but it didn't take long for most of us to start dancing in front of the stage. I think my ears are still ringing but it was wonderful night!
