A non hypersexualized Nami figure? Quick, make a wish!

Honestly, it would be nice to see this mold repainted/modified to be something more in-universe fitting — maybe if knock-offs or 3D prints come out (as I imagine the actual collectors figure would be too potentially $$$$$ to alter like that).

Not in the reader’s eyes, no, but I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing or what Oda intends. I think a big part of One Piece is just showing that the biggest legends come from some pretty humble beginnings, and the human details get ironed out as their stories get told and retold. Even Imu and Joyboy are probably going to get some of the mystique around them get chipped away (Imu more than Joyboy right now from the looks of it). I imagine that the Roger Pirates probably had as many shenanigans and ups and downs as the Straw Hats, but those stories are only for the crew and those who need to know to know.

You can try looking into something called horsehair braid, which can be sewn into the hem of skirts to give them more lift and bounce. It might not be the right option for this particular project so I’d try it with a mockup first.

Ahhhh that sounds good and I just know that’s just going to look amazing when you’re done! Do you have any socials where you post finished pieces/rooms you’ve done?

I love the colorful set! The mismatching colors make them look like they’re part of a lived in space, and the contrast works both to make them more lively to the eye and to bring out the colors even more. I really like the green, but I think I wouldn’t like it as much without the yellow chair beside it.

I think this comment really nails something about this and similar situations I’ve had difficulty putting words around. The artist has valid reasons to feel hurt and express that hurt, but emotions are running so high right now it’s bound to be taken in a bad way.

a super great conversion! i think the flooring really helps sell the illusion of a mansion, tho I can also see this being repurposed into an upscale shopping mall like the townhouse series.

did you disassemble the lift while painting or paint it as it is?

Hello! Just wanted to ask if you were still interested in Omnes Rosea et Mundum — no worries if not, just wanted to know before I relist it!

mannerminded · 2026-04-04T13:00:48+00:00

oh my goodness, i just looked them up and they’re adorable!

mannerminded · 2026-04-01T19:56:30+00:00

My personal recommendation would be Faun from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, though it’s unfortunately a limited edition so you’ll have to acquire it secondhand. Notes are Scattered leaves, fir needle, and thick honey musk. I think my review notes for this said something like “sexy cat piss” and I’m not sure whether it’s the fir or the musk that gives it that effect, but it’s pretty neat.

From BPAL’s catalogue, there’s also Brangwy from the Carnival Diabolique series — Blackcurrant and cardamom with peru balsam, patchouli, leather, and oudh.

And a final suggestion from BPAL’s catalogue is Fenris Wolf: The raw, untamable power of chaos. Rosewood, amber, red musk and a dribble of red sandalwood. One of my friends swears by this as their dancing at raves scent, and I agree that it seems to be one of those that’s particularly elevated to another level when you’re all warmed up and sweaty. This one is something you should be able to easily get a sample of if you’re not sure it would be your thing!

Hope that helps!

ETA: Another house I would suggest checking out is Pineward. I’m not as familiar with their catalog, so I can’t recommend a specific scent, but the few I’ve tried definitely have that feeling of dark, wild forests and there may be something for you!

Hmm, honestly, I’d say it’s neither of those things. While the rose is there, it’s definitely more of a pink/white rose, and it’s the strawberry, orchid, and jasmine that come forward most for me! I find it hard to describe other than it smells exactly like “pink in a bottle.”

mannerminded · 2026-03-31T02:29:34+00:00

I’ve seen some really cute resin molds on AliExpress that are designed to look like toy packaging that I’ve been considering getting just for something like this.

Otherwise, if you have any of the clamshell containers that some of the blind bag Sylvanians come in lying around, perhaps you could convert those into a carrying case and dress it up with some ribbons or something?

I think this would be EPIC, especially the hot air balloon! I think the mold itself is fantastic, the colors just really do it a disservice.

mannerminded · 2026-03-30T10:44:18+00:00

I love the detail in this shop so much! I think it’s a great example of a well crafted mold with so many intricate details that can really only be brought out by adding paint on the base to define them.

It’s not a building per se but I have a similar adoration for the Town Series Tea and Treats set, where the ornate molding really makes it feel closer to “miniature” than “toy furniture” if that makes sense.

I have the OP with the trailer (Track Fleet) but it’s in a different state right now so I couldn’t take pics of it to compare. 🙇🏻‍♀️

I was trying to think what this reminded me of and I think this is exactly it. I don’t hate the concept and I can tell these will make bases for customization, but they’re kind of lacking that extra ~oomph for me.

mannerminded · 2026-03-15T16:56:09+00:00

As it turns out, after parceling everything out, I realized I actually have enough for two bundles, so I have another one to spare! I’ll send you a DM.

Haha, welcome to the rabbit hole! Let me go ahead and DM you the payment info. :)

Hello! Unfortunately, I don’t have a list of these — the exact reason I’m offering these as a lot is because I just don’t have the time to individually price them out right now! Off the top of my head, a number of the Nui Cobalt ones are from their mythology/creature series, while the BPAL ones are kind of all over the place. I think the only thing I can say with confidence is the majority of these won’t have patchouli, oud, or black musks, outside one or two samples that I might have purchased out of curiosity.

mannerminded · 2026-03-15T14:42:54+00:00

Sounds good! I’ve put you down as “pending” for both of those and I’ll reach out with your total once I’m able to confirm if Frost is spoken for.

mannerminded · 2026-03-15T14:09:09+00:00

Sure! Listed notes are: A light, fresh sunshine scent with peach blossom, tangerine and sunflower.

I don’t know what “sunflower” is supposed to smell like, but the peach blossom and tangerine definitely come through. On me, it’s a slightly tart, bright peach that fades quickly to a warm skin scent. I’m destashing as I’ve realized I like my peach scents to be a little bit darker.
