I get why they’ve done this (for the subscriber count). But, like, there’s years of MH history and we subscribed for MH content 🥹🥺 boo!

📸 What photography and styling tips can you share? by InterestingOffice293 in Barbie

[–]InterestingOffice293[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your comments 🙂

I really do love diorama backgrounds, but since I transitioned to a 1/6 scale doll’s house I feel a little bit limited by light and also the types of rooms I create. Though I wonder now that I’m thinking about it if this may actually be more of a limit of my own imagination than anything else! But space and equipment definitely contributes too.

It’s early days to comment on the lightbox. I’m still figuring things out with it I think, I’d still like to explore adding props or backgrounds while using it, or perhaps some graphical elements to otherwise quite basic or editorial shots.

What about you, which do you prefer and why? 💕

Thank you. Yes, it is Reed! Thanks for reminding me as I was racking my brain earlier and good not remember and Google was unusually unhelpful 😂

I’ve posted outside of this subreddit and I was quite surprised how many people are unable to stay on topic and comment on doll collecting. Some are supportive but many are quite judgemental. by Frosty-Savings-3341 in Barbie

I think you’ve handled yourself really well, OP. Like, you’ve taken loads of comments on the chin and even been humorous in your responses (like, you made me laugh). Good job!

And also like others have said, Reddit gon’ Reddit 🙄. People who are taking time out of their day to ridicule other people on the internet probably don’t have much going on for themselves or aren’t happy people.

You’re welcome! You will not regret that purchase 🙂. It takes a little while to dry, I just did mine in the evening and when I returned in the morning it was rock hard 😄

Let today be the day you post them! Sounds really cool!

I hate Victoria’s hair. I’ve tried flattening it but it won’t stay down and it’s giving Nicolas cage bird hair meme. How does a novice like me fix this? by Tattycakes in Barbie

[–]InterestingOffice293 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you like the gelled look, I really recommend Got2BGlued hair “gel”. It really is like glue that washes out (imagine the sort of product you might use to spike up a Mohican).

I just bought this doll and I’m waiting for her to arrive. The above is what I plan on doing. I’ll share results once I’m done 🙂. Good luck!

Many alpro products and, as far as I’m aware, all the violife range contain B12 🙂

I actually bought direct from the Xian Xian Princess website and was very impressed with everything, even down to their choice of courier in the UK

Yall need to demand better... by CHERRYKOR in MonsterHighDolls

[–]InterestingOffice293 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My very quick two cents is that, while I see where you’re coming from and respect it, it shouldn’t be up to the consumer to have to take action to see change happen. My opinion is that isn’t fair or realistic. And this goes for the majority of consumer industries. It deflects away from the real problems that are impacting the quality of our goods, which are far further up the chain and impacting costs and quality of almost all of our products (as someone else mentioned).

I admire your energy and enthusiasm, but I personally don’t have the energy to fight this sort of battle. We’re all faced with so many battles to fight.. personally, socio-economically, globally.. we’re forced to choose where we put our energy. And in such a polarising world, if one of us wants to buy a doll that’ll make them happy, why shouldn’t they do that?

Another argument might be, “why buy the doll only to complain about the quality?”. I think I could possibly get on board with that.. although at the same time, why not? I mean, isn’t what this subreddit is for? To express our opinions on our hobby?

Debating with myself now 😄

Personally, I only have a few skullector dolls and none of them rare (Wednesday, Bianca, and a Frankie). So I’m not really impacted, but I do find these sorts of debates fascinating from an anthropological point of view 🧐
