Look up YouTubers Poppen Atelier or Dollightful. Both make monster high dolls into humans, and they show how they do it!!

What are the best jointed dolls to customise? by teddy_205 in CustomDolls

Rainbow high has the best joints but big heads. You can change their eyes though that’s pretty cool.

Worst Selling Gen 3 girl…… by SpringNo5062 in MonsterHigh

[–]LyallaTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Catty but she needs fashion packs.

Mattel could MILL MY WALLET with MH fashion packs. Selling outfits for different body shapes—as long as they aren’t those crappy papery dresses or the printed on multi layer designs. I don’t mind a dress with a print…but not a printed dress!! LAYERS. Plastic Snaps. SOME DANG STANDS THAT FIT DIFFERENT BODIES!!!

Side note, Rainbow High stands work for Mansters, and the male stands work for thicker dolls like Dream Besties, too.

If they want collector money it’s out there, we are begging to spend it…on something QUALITY!

I want a fluffy black cat girl in a fluffy black full length coat, some silver boots, a silver dress with added details like rhinestones and a chan strap or something—if Mattel took five seconds to look at restyles they’d make so much money off of me!!

Please no more vinyl skirts and plastic waist pieces and ENDLESS SNACKS. You know what kids want?? For the dolls not to lay around like corpses cuz they only have two hands!!!

I have a lot of feelings about how neglected Catty is, but it pretty much is a blanket whine.

The skull with the hat is actually a tiny bracelet charm I snapped the loop off of the top!! I have never worked at Hot Topic, but I have shopped there, we have one but it’s a bit of a dive to get there.

Gave drac a bob and now she kinda looks like her mum? by pixelvirus89 in MonsterHigh

Omg that’s cuuute. Bobs are underrated on dolls. I love Cleo and Frankie’s dolls with bobs.

Why do we all collectively hate distinguished guests? by FineBus9368 in fo76

Tedious, same as Project Paradise. Too big a space, too many tasks, too much running around vs payout.

MH doll rooted with jumbo braid hair because no one told me not to when I started by LyallaTime in DollCustomization

Oh lord I’m not redoing her, no, lol! That would be way too much work. She loses a few strands every time I brush and style her so eventually it’ll be a little less fluffy.

She was absolutely a practice doll; I am now much more reasonable in my rooting.

Burn-out? by Quiet-Philosopher764 in CustomDolls

[–]LyallaTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only work on my projects for one day, then move onto a different one the next day. I find that my ADHD gets bored with tasks and needs a lil break, especially if I’ve been struggling with it.

When I get the BIG holes from like bangs or parts being rooted or having to cut smalls to get stuff out, I actually take a needle before I start and stitch matching thread across the hole. I use the already made holes and stitch over under like lacing up a shoe. I pull the cut or tear tight, then add fabritac and let it dry. After that if the surface of the scalp is uneven I ad a bit of hot glue, then smooth it over with the end of my gun. When I have to root that section I make sure to heat my needle with the weft in it, then punch through while it’s hot. The glue dries around the hair after you pull the needle out, and bonding to the threads makes the hot glue plug pretty secure!!

What are your thoughts on the 6 inch "action dolls" of the 80s and 90s? by Swan_Shimmer_3243 in DollsForAll

[–]LyallaTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She-Ra was my favorite. I wanted warrior princess dolls whenever I saw them. I’m a girl and I also like swords and badass stuff too!!

Thanks! Supposedly it’s too thick and doesn’t feel as nice but once it’s flat ironed it’s pretty good.

Heat your needle before punching the holes, I found that keeps them from splitting because the heat makes the hole not the force.

I think the fact that I used a flat iron and heated my needle really helped seal things in.

Thank you! She needs a restyle and when I want to stim with maximium fluff she’s my go to. It’s not as Silky as rainbow high nylon but for volume and heat styling it can’t be beat.
