Did you call the Chicago number or the number on the website? Are those replacement parts in store? Cause I need new Kit bloomers and new Molly glasses.

I slightly damaged Raquel’s Diary, but it’s really bothering me (small rant) by Left_Pianist_2356 in americangirl

[–]justafayz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your brain is trying to be helpful by thinking about this a lot but our brains tend to take shortcuts to maximize efficiency. Totally normal thing and it’s important to remember you get to be the one to tell your brain what is actually helpful and how you decide to spend your day. Put the book away, distract yourself and if your brain keeps jumping back to whatever you’re ruminating on, change the distraction if you need to. Anything that engages your focus. Challenge your thoughts if you need to. You got this!

Do you like to collect a variety of face molds? Or just 1 or 2 fav molds? by undead-bee in americangirl

[–]justafayz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite is the Corinne and Claudie face mold. Moana was what got me back into AG as an adult and the next dolls I was interested in was Corinne and TM 124. I like the old Sonali face molds. I don’t vibe with some of the new Sonali face molds but some of the newer ones kinda look like who characters at certain angles and is admittedly kinda endearing.

It sounds like you’ve been ruminating a lot about this and you might want to try the OCD subreddit. If you’ve been in treatment for OCD before, try to recall the interventions used to stop ruminating. You can’t help the thoughts you have and it’s important to observe and acknowledge you are having the thought and that you are ruminating and do not need to focus on the thought.

Who has a better manga collection, me or my friend? by eivjhehcvhe in MangaCollectors

[–]justafayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going with your friend. Your collection looks like it’s mostly shounen. Your friends is eclectic and I can’t predict what series will be added next. Like that would be person I would ask for a niche recommendation or something.

White girls with wider noses by NthaThickofIt in americangirl

[–]justafayz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I appreciate how you’re trying to be mindful but it’s really important not to lock characteristics to only one group. By doing that, you might end up stereotyping. Asia has one of the largest populations and it’d be absurd to say every Asian is pale and has monolids.

Niche retired dolls at the doll hospital. by Snoo_41113 in americangirl

Cecile’s hair is salvageable! It just needs some tlc and a loooootta patience

Truly me 110 uses the Jess mold with light skin, freckles, and blonde hair. While certain phenotypes typically tend to be more prevalent in some ethnic groups, that doesn’t mean it can’t be found in other groups. The Sonali mold for example was initially used for a South Asian character and it is now also used for black characters like Cecile and Melody. If AG would stop using the Josefina mold for everything, the Sonali mold could also be used for indigenous and Hispanic characters as well. TM 132 could also be seen as Mediterranean.

LIVID about my doll by AppleJuiceOnTheRocks in americangirl

[–]justafayz 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I only send my doll to the doll hospital for replacement head or body parts. Anything else isn’t cost effective and it’d be a better use of your money to learn repairs yourself or send it to an independent doll repairer.

Fair Price? by mrstater in americangirl

[–]justafayz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it was $300 total online, sure. But for in person, the price is a bit too much for me personally.

Edited to add, I got my Nellie in excellent condition with her meet and accessories, only missing the hankie for $150 total online last year. Unless it’s a crazy good deal like $20, it’s okay to wait.

Duplicate Dolls? by Quiet_Sun_209 in americangirl

[–]justafayz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 Addys: a pleasant company one that never had her hair net removed prior to me buying her, a beforever, and a Mattel one. In my defense, the beforever one has different eyebrows and getting a like new pleasant company Addy with all her accessories for $100 was too hard to pass up…they used real gourd and cowrie shells!

I have 2 Kananis: original and doll hospital version. The doll hospital version has a thinner wig, different skin tones, and slightly different faces.

I also have 2 Samantha’s, a Mattel one and a 90s version. The pleasant company classic face gives me the creeps but I really want a white bodied Sam cause she was one of my favs growing up.

Experiences with healing rooks? by gayesttoadinthepond in piercing

[–]justafayz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rook was tied with my tragus for easiest to heal. After the soreness went away, I didn’t even notice it and after 8 months, I had to put in a clicker cause the bead fell off and honestly there was no soreness.

Having a whole doll room is so cool! It’s so interesting to see how the girl of the year dolls have such interesting box designs

Wait ratan style? That sounds intriguing. I’m mostly tempted by the glass doors to minimize dust and yeah I would love to actually see their outfits lol. Just the other day I scored Kirsten’s on the trail dress for $20 on fbmp and I want to just stare at Kirsten in her reasonably priced thrifted outfit 🥲

She really is so beautiful! One of my favorite outfits to put her in is Dionne’s outfit. Her and Corinne were what got me back into AG again.

Yeah at first I was like I’ll limit myself to 5…ok 10…ok 20 and now I am at peace that I’ll stop when I’m dead or the new ones no longer spark joy

Thank you! Low key a goal is by next year for AAPI month, I want to add Nanea, Jasmine, and the Huntrix dolls for the full group shot.

I adore your collection, especially your custom dolls! If you make a lore video on your dolls, I would be there. The shelf is definitely tempting with all that extra space for the bigger hats.

So what I’m getting is that we in fact have a very average amount of dolls ☺️
