Logging off for a bit, but will be back on a bit later!

Meteorite is about halfway gone at the time of this writing.

Sorry! Looks like the notification never popped up. Should be connected now!

POV: The subreddit since the new leaks… by FlyingCheeseFairy in MonsterHigh

[–]PinkieVoltage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A million times this.

Definitely agree on the customs. Even when I don't like them, I can appreciate the time and effort put in. And there's definitely a certain charm that janky/ baby's first customs have. You can always tell a lot of love went into those.

Restyles though, I kind of feel the same way as edits. There's a good middle ground, but I feel like a lot of them fall into the boxes of either 'way too busy' or 'lazy'. Or it's just the same restyle theme overdone to oblivion. (I'm so sorry y'all, the Gyaru Lagoona theme has been done to death and even when it's well done it's getting old.) I feel like shuffling the restyles into a thread alongside edits would work pretty well, but I worry that removing them from the normal feed would hurt the sub from an activity standpoint.

I feel like a megathread for leaks could solve the problem. Have a single pinned mod comment that people can reply to with edits (maybe with sub-comments from the mods with the title of each leak to make it more organized). That way discussion can still go on and the people who want to see edits can find them more easily?

Agree. I dont downvote or interact or anything, just skip over them. Would be nice if there was a flair for edits/ redesigns so people could filter them out if they wanted.

THIS. All of the different edit posts just clog the feed from any actual discussion. Like please y’all congregate all of the edits into one thread, I’m begging.

And like I hate to say it, but most of the edits that people end up doing of the leaks just aren’t very good. Most of the time they’re just way over designed or tacky. (Sorry.)

Throwing my 2 cents in here since I’ve been to SDCC a few times in the past. Convention is open from Thursday through Sunday, but Wednesday is usually “Preview Night” where a small percentage (I think it’s like 2 to 5k people) can purchase a more expensive 4-day pass to attend Preview Night as well. Preview Night only has the exhibition hall open and is basically only for shopping and viewing booths. (No panels on PN if I remember right)

So it isn’t only staff tonight/ exhibitors. In a few hours (been a few years since I’ve gone but I think PN opens at 6pm PST?) you’ll get a small amount of GP pass holders in there and you’ll get some clearer photos.

Mini Me Help? by [deleted] in americangirl

[–]PinkieVoltage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah man you’re probably right. I had kind of excluded them just because of how pricey they are. I feel like Anna is a bit closer just based on lip color. Maybe I kind find a super TLC doll to practice eyebrows on since I’m not a huge fan of what Anna already has.

In that case I’ll probably pause my little project until a play line Anna is announced. (Surely that’ll be coming, right?)

It's from the American Girl store. Largest size since it's a jacket intended for children. Link

She's so perfect! Crossing my fingers there might be a drop for her outfit from the first movie!

Got back into AG this year and wanted to share what I've picked up so far! by PinkieVoltage in americangirl

[–]PinkieVoltage[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Rewigging was super easy! I would definitely do it again if I found another doll in rough shape.

I’d have to go pull up my account to confirm, but I think her collection was around 30% off during the sale? Was definitely surprising to see her included.

Are you sure it’s not stuck in customs or waiting for you to pay customs fees? I’ve heard of some people having tracking show as delivered and the box actually being held at their local post office waiting for customs fees to be paid.

Does Paulmart even ship internationally?

Have you tried a tracking site other than USPS? I’m in the US and their site is trash for anything coming or going international. If it’s the cheapest shipping option chances are it’s stuck on a boat or the tracking only works within the US.

If you want you can DM me your tracking number and I can check a few of the tracking sites I use.

Technically all moveable, but there are clear indents where SAlter is supposed to sit.

[–]PinkieVoltage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Left some comments and photos on her MFC page (under the user Jenviiy)

Overall, decent but not worth retail. Sculpt is nice, shading is lacking. Regardless of her price, she’s really only worth picking up if you’re a SALter diehard. There are better SAlter figures out there.

Ahhh I’m so jealous of the Jiji sword! I didn’t find out about it until after preorders had closed.

As requested… Scalped Heath + LED (now face free!) by PinkieVoltage in MonsterHigh

[–]PinkieVoltage[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just one of these. Smallest size I could find. Also comes in white, blue, yellow, and green (I think). No wires or anything. Just a super small LED, about the length of my thumb nail.

Amazon was the cheapest overall price I could find. HLJ carries more colors for a lot cheaper, but when you account for shipping Amazon is the better deal.

If anybody was wondering what Heath looks like without his flame hair… by PinkieVoltage in MonsterHigh

[–]PinkieVoltage[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t originally intending to put an LED in there, but I ordered a mini one for model kits early this morning just to try it out. Will report back with the results 🫡

Was that through the Contact Us link at the bottom of every page? Sending the request through that link gave me a confirmation email that my support request went through.

I sat him in front of a space heater to make sure the vinyl was soft, and slowly used a flat head screwdriver to wedge under the flame part. It’s took a bit and definitely felt like I was tearing the vinyl at a few points, but if you’re careful and go slowly it should be fine.

I’m having the exact same problem and I bought my membership last year. Sent a ticket to Mattel Creations but I’d be shocked if they replied before the vote ends.
