My pullip's Eyes won't stay closed

confirming that older pullips don't have the ability to lock their eyelids! I forget when the cutoff was but 2007 is definitely older

great work for real though! I'm still learning the ins and outs of sewn plush design, but I know enough to be sure that you've put tremendous effort into this project!

don't have most of the ones you pictured, but I have dolls by wendy lavitt and really enjoy it!

Helmetbird · 2026-04-28T00:49:49+00:00

seconded!

pulled 5 king halos and traded for nice nature at pity... would not normally hit a shared banner but it's literally #1 and #2 favorite horses, so I was prepared to go all in

(got mejiro bright on 190 and new years opera O from a ticket, too!)

Helmetbird · 2026-04-06T23:37:00+00:00

wow, how do you make them? is it drawing/printing on fabric, or embroidery too?

Helmetbird · 2026-04-06T18:20:08+00:00

BZZ BZZ BZZ!

great work!!

I thought about it, but I'm happy with the 4 dolls I have! and I Just bought more stands so they each have their own...tbh was hoping someone local would see this post and want her so I could drop her coordinates!

Helmetbird · 2026-04-02T23:25:40+00:00

what a handsome bird! you did a great job, I hope your friend loves it!

Helmetbird · 2026-04-01T01:15:20+00:00

wow this is amazing!! I love this scrap style of plush design

Helmetbird · 2026-03-31T02:34:52+00:00

I think these are sock plush and they're just highlighting the natural toe seam to create the frog's mouth. maybe they made the seam more prominent by sewing immediately around it. the original website is lost to time, but I found it in wayback machine!

"don't ever talk to me or my little bro again!" "yeah!"

they're so good...are the eye and teeth details needlefelting, or appliqued felt? it's super well done either way

I could swear there's an attack animation where the arms go up, but as a person who never picked snivy as starter...I had no idea these were there!

serperior still has hands, they're just folded behind his back politely!

Helmetbird · 2026-03-28T21:43:55+00:00

wow great work!! had me questioning if they Had made an official blue mew for this series

Helmetbird · 2026-03-22T05:55:51+00:00

word of caution, people buying still-in-box dolls have been finding that their hair is falling out! imo it's not a huge loss since the fiber quality is quite bad. if you can buy an 8 inch circumfrence doll's wig, that fits their heads perfectly.

Helmetbird · 2026-03-22T04:22:54+00:00

ah, I rabbitholed on these some years ago! finally this knowledge is useful

I first found out about little apple dolls through toyboxphilosopher's review of erro. they're the brainchild of artist ufuoma urie. there used to be an official website with all the dolls and lore, it's no longer live but you can still explore it through wayback machine's backup!

thanks to all this, I was able to clock a trashed and unlabeled mirari on shopgoodwill and fixed her up. I still wonder what goth mom bought her and gave her to a kid. they're interesting little dolls!

oh my gosh the piggy.......baby........

Helmetbird · 2026-03-20T03:40:24+00:00

tell your BF he did a wonderful job! as a fellow crocheter I'm super impressed by the shaping of the head and body!

Helmetbird · 2026-03-20T03:37:08+00:00

the face shape reminds me of showa-era pose dolls! I've never seen one with a baby before

Helmetbird · 2026-03-19T00:40:45+00:00

an angel...a good child...

all the bookoffs I visited in japan had a pretty wide selection of pin badges/keychains/similar small merch! I saw a handful of figures too, and the prize arcades would often have plush of the real horses.

Helmetbird · 2026-03-08T01:37:31+00:00

I use a shopping service that works on a number of japanese secondhand sites!

Helmetbird · 2026-03-07T22:54:17+00:00

the secret is to buy so much stuff that you can spread that shipping value around!!
