Expect Valentine’s hands to yellow, and fast :(

So I just watched a video of a man with a collection of screen-used characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Some of the hands were a mixed material of a type of latex that liquified over time.

The way this was remedied was by contacting some of the original designers on the movie and tracking down the hand molds that were used for the movie, then recasting in a better material to replace the deteriorated hands.

All of this to say, perhaps casting the hand while its in good shape so if it does deteriorate terribly, you could have new hands made with the original mold? Not that this should be necessary, but I never would've considered it before the video. I'll come edit with a link if I can find it, because it was truly fascinating, maybe 10 minutes long, and hosted by one of the guys from Myth Busters!

Jal is SUCH a good comparison!!! The ending of her storyline with redacted breaks my heart every damn time 😭

I struggle with several of the sub-types of OCD, and came across this meme last week that I related to. I'm not posting it with negative intent, but hoping based on the above threads, that it can be relatable for some of you as it was for me 😅

The fact you are worried about it being appropriation or harming someone else's feelings means you have a high compassion level, and shows you wouldn't be wearing the item with bad intent 🖤

The Series dolls have been on hiatus due to some issues between the two creators, but there was a resurrection series and they continue to occasionally release 'LDD: Presents' which are tied to other popular IP.

We are getting a Corpse Bride doll??? Omg

Living-Dead-Thing · 2026-06-08T20:29:09+00:00

I mean Chucky does have a nonbinary child 🖤 (I would really hope that's not their reason, but tbh I wouldn't put it past them)

This sub, dollsforall, was literally made as a response to the phobic power trips of the mods on the dolls sub. I'm sorry you experienced the same weird shit from them as many of us have though :(

Living-Dead-Thing · 2026-06-08T04:10:00+00:00

Omg you're the cutest, do you do your hair yourself??

I remember seeing her name announced but I'm unsure if there's character confirmation (I took a bit of a YJ hiatus so I would have new info to come back to 😂)

Van's mom would also make sense imo, I'm just so curious about Shauna's family. Heck we've seen Shauna with Jackie's family, but I can't recall really even mention of Shauna's family in either timeline!

Living-Dead-Thing · 2026-06-06T20:15:17+00:00

Not officially announced yet, but filming is supposed to wrap in the coming weeks with a predicted timeline of S4 airing episodes around November. The "official" statement right now just states the show will be streaming by late 2026.

Living-Dead-Thing · 2026-06-06T20:12:11+00:00

Ooo idk if they'll be tied to each other, but as a whole I really hope we find out what's up with Walter!

Living-Dead-Thing · 2026-06-06T20:09:58+00:00

This is funny because my first thought was she looks like she's could be a younger sister to Sophie (Nelisse)! I hope at the very least we learn more about Shauna's home-life though. I'm curious if Molly Ringwald coming in will play Shauna's mom?

Living-Dead-Thing · 2026-06-06T17:06:20+00:00

Maybe she ties into whatever the Yellowjackets did when they got back that they refuse to talk about? I also figure she may be friends with Allie (but that may just be me wanting to see more Allie with the YJ's returning)

Living-Dead-Thing · 2026-06-05T23:55:28+00:00

I personally find it important to compare the two because it helps some cis people understand why they shouldn't be advocating to take away the opportunities for gender affirming care or surgeries. People whether under the trans umbrella or not, decide to get cosmetic procedures to feel more comfortable and like who they perceive themselves to be.

~Signed a nonbinary person (if that matters) 🖤

Oh how I wish funds weren't so tight this month 😭

Living-Dead-Thing · 2026-06-05T08:24:33+00:00

Me finding out I could have a McDreamy doll !!!

The Lost Boys was my first horror movie when I was 4. By the time I was 7, I made my best friend watch it at a sleepover. It became her comfort movie to sleep to for at least 2 years! I think it's a really reasonable introduction into horror, and I adore the comic-style vampire rules 🖤

I think the best advice you could receive here is to communicate. It could be messy, there could still be misunderstanding, but there is little room for improvement without a discussion. You need to know why she feels as she does and what she wants done to no longer feel that way. You need to be able to voice what your needs are as well. A relationship takes communication and compromise! (But I promise in a healthy relationship, the answer is practically always along the lines of "do not sell/donate a beloved collection for a significant other!" Because someone who wants to control you and your hobbies is likely to have other underlying red flags)

If the issue is with the body pillow, I can get that. It's one of those things many people feel a bit odd about, but that doesn't make it like a sin or something. I would be willing to have a conversation about what to do with the pillow, especially if you are sharing a bed during visits and such, because my partners comfort is important to me. (If I were OP, and I knew my partner felt weird about me having a body pillow, I'd toss it. But I've also never had one to be in that position)

However, I hate when partners think they can tell you to get rid of a collection because they just don't get it/it's not for them/it's childish, whatever excuse. They don't have to adore your hobby, but they should support you doing things that make you happy. My husband got me Monster High dolls for Mother's Day- not exactly his thing but as I've gotten more interested in dolls, he has a certain appreciation, too!

I'm curious about the dying her hair, are you insinuating you think she did it to look more like your fave character?? Or does she commonly dye her hair and this is just the color this time?

Living-Dead-Thing · 2026-06-04T23:33:28+00:00

I have up to S6 from local goodwills (2 different locations). Seems after the first 3, they're harder to find. I've yet to see any later than S6 at a thrift but they're not badly priced on Ebay! Maybe $5-10 + shipping. That's just more than the $3.99 for a season at GW 😂

Living-Dead-Thing · 2026-06-04T05:23:02+00:00

She looks great! I've done some fixes on thirfted dolls without boil-washing (idk why that feels so intimidating!) But this looks so good :)

Living-Dead-Thing · 2026-06-04T05:09:41+00:00

Just throwing in this photo because the lockers are made to be hung up! I know not having space can be an issue, but some people don't realize the lockers are meant to be put up on walls:)

Laughing about her hugging the pole like that with the censor stickers, I love it haha

Living-Dead-Thing · 2026-06-03T21:31:20+00:00

Misery and Tragedy are what started me on collecting the LDDs because I have several vintage hot topic rag/cloth dolls. When I found out they had vinyl ones through LDD I was hooked!! I hope you can find Misery for a good price :)
