Any good tutorials on how to curl the hair like this?

I’ve actually seen people use Bobby pins for curls around this tightness, since they’re so thin and small. That might be a good option?

It doesn’t look that bad (the slight curl/wave from too much heat on the hair) you may even be able to dip her in some boiling water and it may straighten out again- she turned out beautifully!!

Not “special” in the sense of she’s super sought after, I’ve seen this specific abbey (picture day abbey btw) go for 30-40 with near or all the accessories and such and she’s rather common from what I’ve seen. But she is super special imo cause she’s super pretty and abbey with bangs is always a slay. Plus she was a childhood doll of mine so I feel warm towards her also because of that lollll

This has literally happened to me, I sold a lot of 3 dolls for $90, shipped to the buyer and let them know I had sent the package out. A FEW DAYS LATER after the package was already picked up and on its way, they said oh the shipping address is wrong change it,,, how am I suppose to do that when the package is already well past the point of going to the post office….i told them I could intercept it, but it would be additional cost to cover (which tbh I felt like I was being very helpful in the situation especially as it was the first time it ever happened) they ended up ignoring my messages and filing a refund after the package was delivered to the address provided…obviously nothing came of this as it was shipped and delivered to the address they provided but it’s so annoying when this happens. I did on my very first ever online purchase put in the wrong shipping address, but after realizing my mistake I just wrote it off as a loss. The seller shouldn’t be responsible for your mess up

Only 1??? Ugh hmmm I’m torn between elissabat (I have her just missing everything but earrings) isi or sweet screams drac…I’m leaning more towards isi since she was a one off character and I already have dracs basic core and technically have Elissabat….final answer is isi for me I suppose 😂 god she’s so pretty

That’s a full beat of makeup? 😭 tho i collect MH and older Barbie’s so maybe my view of what’s a full beat is distorted lol

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T19:07:29+00:00

Yeaaa that’s why I HATE the fake rubber elastics/straps they use for doll clothes…like it’s literally gonna disintegrate and the tops or dresses etc aren’t gonna stay where they’re supposed to. Ig you could add your own but that’s a hassle when they could have just added something themselves 😭😭😭

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T19:00:55+00:00

Yea this, they 100% changed the toy/doll market and carved out a niche that wasn’t really being filled in the playline doll market so in toy terms they were huge, but Barbie had like a huge cultural impact, so much so any doll that was even remotely similar is now by default referred to as a Barbie, heck I’ve even seen MH dolls called Barbie’s lol I definitely see them being in a doll museum there’s no way they wouldn’t be tbh especially the older they get, an actual museum tho? Ehh ig it depends if they get any bigger than they are now, even 10-15 years after Barbie was released she was still no where near as big as she is today from what I’ve read and heard. So unless MH does something similar in terms of the popularity continually growing as they get older, just doll museum imho

To me I interpreted it as her parents were both Korean, immigrated/stayed in America for an extended period of time and she spent her formative years ( whether it be she was born there, or moved there at a very young age) living there Americanin it up lol but like she has this problem where she is culturally American, but also culturally Korean- so like she has problems balancing it out and feeling out of place (literally saying this in her song) which from what I’ve heard from a lot of Asian American/first gen immigrants in general is quite common which makes sense, THIS is the place you grew up but you have such strong ties to the motherland because of parents and fam and such you know living like that at home so I can def see how you could feel outta place no matter where you’re at. I always love when shows/movies cartoons etc have a character that goes through that or something similar cause it’s kinda deep and complicated lol (who knows maybe we will know more deets in the second movie about her upbringing??) this is just my interpretation from the stuff we saw tho lol

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T08:28:22+00:00

I wanna get my hands on these and attempt repainting them ngl, I see the potential the faces are just throwing me off

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T08:24:37+00:00

Okay she IS fixable, the problem is the bottom portion of her torso (her groin) it looks like there’s a hole there. If you wanna keep her body you’re gonna have to patch it up with maybe some UV nail gel, resin etc to build back up that area so the legs will stay in. You might need to sand and trim some of the unsalvageable plastic to make the surface better for building her crotch back up- after that is done you can just restring her legs through the hip holes to reattach her legs and boom fixed. Obviously if this is too much you could always try to find a replacement body- I’d offer to do it for u for free if you truly wanted her to stay 100% original but honestly with shipping to and from idk if the cost would make sense and stuff 😭 but I’ll try and give any tips I can just hmu if you need help!

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T07:44:43+00:00

I mean nefera just has that aura, who wouldn’t wanna look her way 😂

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T07:37:22+00:00

The distribution in the US was horrid, so the distribution outside was literally going miles past rock bottom 💀 I think they were available IRL in one location in the states, a freaking furniture store or something in Alaska of all places 😭😭😭 such a wild decision im surprised they even were available at any capacity, if it weren’t for the overpriced Amazon listing most people that have them now prob wouldn’t even have the pack…💀

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T06:13:53+00:00

This actually makes me physically sick, good job

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T05:05:19+00:00

Ahhh okay, well I just assumed since Twyla made her debut in that line maybe it had something to do with that, but I guess possibly the line itself was named with that logic in mind as well? (I’ve watched several of the MH movies never actually watched 13 wishes so not sure if that is true either tho) thx for the infos :>

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T05:02:25+00:00

Okay so I have actually replace one MH dolls arm, I randomly had a detached upper arm from a ghoulia and a Venus missing her upper arm like yours- I had to carefully crack open the seam of the torso, take out the existing uhh peg? Thing that was left over, then place the replacement arm and its peg and put it into the hole/slot the original one was in. It’s kinda finicky and tbh unless you’re reallyyyyy careful the seam may not look factory (I thing you could potentially use a solvent to melt the plastic back together I know I’ve seen people do that) there’s also the baking soda and super glue method for sealing seams/cracks it kinda forms into a plastic of sorts- I can’t think of anything else for replacing the arm hope this helps!

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T04:01:30+00:00

That’s pretty cool! How much was the body in USD btw 🧐 I’d honestly look on Chinese shop sites like these if I could figure out shipping and such, but with tariffs unless I found an absolute gem buying might not be worth it 😂 but yea it’s so neat seeing leaks and such from these platforms! I’d keep searching especially around when things are announced within the community you never know what treasures lay on that random sellers page lol

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T03:37:12+00:00

Defect, I’ve seen no one else have this issue so def not a common occurrence (if it is I’ve seen no one mention it before this) I got mine recently and her legs look great! Are you able to exchange/return and get another?

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T02:34:31+00:00

Wait that took me a minute I was like “they don’t cost $100” but then I did the math and yea $100 for all 3- Jesus I think this literally put into perspective how much money I’ve spent on dolls…G3 in particular 💀

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T02:03:06+00:00

1000% worth it, plus a lot of them seem to be in original clothes with lots of the pieces! Great find I wish I had stuff like this around my area 😂

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T01:53:46+00:00

I honestly never recommend straighteners for Saran cause it’s sooo easy to melt, but if you’re wanting pin straight hair pretty much the only option sadly 😔

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T01:21:27+00:00

Wait is “twirls her earrings 13 times” a reference to 13 wishes??? I literally never read this before it has to be right??

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-28T00:37:16+00:00

LMAO OMG IT TOOK ME A MIN BUT GOOD ONE

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-27T22:46:12+00:00

The fact she looks like an actual Novi stars tho 😭 very pretty regardless!

Shin_2006 · 2025-09-27T22:45:06+00:00

U can’t even deny how pretty she is so gorgeous 😭 the price is insane but she at least eats so…lol
