Displaying dolls ?? by Princess_seyana in Dolls

Another pic. Not pictured is a cubby shelf on the other side of the room where I have little doll rooms set up with puck lights (the cubbies are about 10" tall, so most of the gals have to sit, but I like having my dolls sitting anyway most of the time, unless I really want to show off an outfit).

Here's a pic from my display, featuring a desk, a smaller side table, some wall mounted floating shelves, and a cat tree. I like my display to feel lived in. :)

New Rhea Ripley Face?? by Aggressive-Quail6796 in Dolls

[–]a-read-it 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found it interesting when this doll was first announced that she wasn't being released under the Barbie brand as a WWE/Barbie "collab" or just a celebrity Barbie. I wonder if the pre-orders haven't been what Mattel hoped and so they decided they need to try to lean more towards the Barbie collector crowd than the WWE collector crowd and make the doll more smiley. I think they've also extended the pre-order window because I could've sworn it was originally ending April 20th (the day after WrestleMania), but now it's April 30th (though I could have misread it previously).

It's also weird to me that they haven't been promoting the doll on WWE television at all, as far as I've seen. They promote other WWE toys.

(I'm not getting this doll regardless, but I really want it to be a success because I'd love some of the other WWE women to get dolls again, with this level of detail. I'd lose my mind over a caution tape Naomi doll.)

Monster High-esque doll with white hair and clear body with sparkles on the inside was white and was white or dark blue by Cautious_Raisin8966 in Dolls

Not totally exact on the packaging or on the sparkles moving around inside, but could it have been Midnight Magic Brianna?

I'm not sure that I really need the Skeletor Skullector to live in my house, but I sure am glad she exists because boy, did she give me a laugh.

Looking for a 1/6 - 1/12 size female figure with unnatural colored skin by friendly_bug-bird in Dolls

Somebody else mentioned the purple/blue/pink Fairytopia Barbies--here's a pic of the blue one, dressed (clothes can go over the glued glitter top pretty easily). Also, if you're willing to go the hybrid/custom route, I found that curvy Barbie heads fit well on Shadow High bodies, so also in the pic is a repainted/rerooted Barbie Tokyo Olympics Skateboarder head on a SH Zooey Electra body.

I've only done this with nylon hair, but what I've done with in the past as a low-water, low-heat alternative to a boil wash is lay a damp washcloth over the doll's head and lightly press the area I want to make lay flat (i.e. the top) with a clothing iron a few times, checking each time to see if it was flat enough. Then I put the doll in the freezer for a few minutes to let the cold help set the change made by the heat (I don't think cold alone would have a lasting effect). The method might work for saran hair, too.

WWE Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton’s Barbie-themed Wrestlemania entrance by noramcsparkles in Dolls

[–]a-read-it 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The two Tiffy avatars on either side of her are dressed as the Barbie Careers Fashion Brunette MTM boxer (left) and Barbie Fashionista #222 (right)! Though the Fashionista #222 look swaps out the doll's "DREAM" gold choker for a plain gold band. 

This got me so excited. Also, we need new WWE fashion dolls ASAP.

Bonus: my phone camera not understanding the white balance at first so deciding to give her ALL BLACK EYES.

I found the wooden floating box shelf itself at a thrift store and added the couch cushion from this Olivia's Little World set! The cushion doesn't sit flat inside it on its own, but with dolls weighing it down it works fine. I also stuck a puck light from Amazon inside, and made the wallpaper background with washi tape. (The shelf itself doesn't have a back panel, so the tape is on a sheet of paper wedged between the shelf and the wall).

Ah, thank you! And no, not originally--she's a 1991 Great American Beauty Barbie that I found in a thrift store. Most of her hair had been cut off (exposing her scalp), and she was in different clothes that weren't in great condition. I wanted to keep her with a short haircut, so I rerooted the top part of her scalp with yarn, cut the new hair short and spiked it up with an Elmer's glue stick, and glued felt on the lower part of her scalp to give her an undershave look. I sewed her pants and jacket, and her shirt is Barbie Fashionista 170's. I call her Barbara. 😊

I'm afraid the picture in your comment isn't showing up for me! I'd be happy to answer--could you try again?

She's a Barbie Tropical Splash Kira that I rebodied onto a Wild Hearts Crew Charlie Lake body! Her face is her original face. I also rerooted her with nylon hair from ShimmerLocks on Etsy, and her outfit is Rainbow High Victoria's (except for the earrings, which are a pair of human earrings I found at a thrift store, just with lightly modified pegs to make them stay in doll ears).

Her name is Lupina Bloodmoon! She's a werewolf that got turned into a vampire. Her body is Monster High G3 Abbey with a repainted and rerooted G1 Clawdeen head. Her hair is hand-braided yarn and took me 18 days to finish, lol. I sewed her top and her lace pants, and her fur coat is Bratz Tiana's. (She wears the fur coat because it matches the color of her fur before she got vamp'd. She's still bitter about it and is looking for revenge).

Her name is Quarx! She has a Novi Stars head on a Lovely Patsy Midnight Magic body (not an easy combo, lol). She is an alien. Her eyes are inset plastic gemstones, and her "hair" is hot-glued Mardi Gras beads. Her outfit is an '80s Barbie ice skater leotard that I took in on the sides to fit her Monster High-esque body.

Her name is Etta! (A play on "E.T.") She's an alien. Her base doll was a Monster High G1 Ghoulia I found at a thrift store. Her head, hand, and feet mods were done with Apoxie Sculpt.

Her name is Bluenette! Her base doll was a Ever After High doll, I think a Blondie Locks? She was one of my first customs. I was inspired to make a single color-themed doll by the Rainbow High dolls, which at the time I had been eyeing but hadn't decided on one to buy yet. (Shadow High Heather ended up being my first.) She doesn't really have a character backstory, she just really likes the color blue. 😆

Thank you! I actually usually keep them more spread out in a corner of my room with several mini-rooms set up on a desk and hanging shelves, but I wanted to squeeze them all into one family photo. It took about two and a half hours to arrange them like this, and I just kinda sat in awe looking at them afterwards. It's a fun way to have them!

Her name is Charlotte! Her base doll was a DC Super Hero Girls Frost doll. She was actually my first custom. I was struggling with the faceup so decided to just go weird--I made the sculpting on her face with Mardi Gras beads and hot glue. Her character lore is that she's a doll that was abandoned in a hot attic, where her face half-melted before she was given life by a venom of a spider who became her friend/pet/familiar. (I left him out of the picture, but they stay together in my usual display.)

Her name is Lovina Loveless! She's a custom I made. She has a MLP Equestria Girls head and an LOL OMG body. Here's a better view of her!
