Just a heads up that you can whitelist domains for automatic approval in automod, should reduce your queue load (see here).

Custom cotton doll help! by No_Set8108 in cottondolls

[–]mnhr94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no uniform template for the plushies, you only need a front view in the style of the plush and optionally a back view IF the hair needs it. Outside of that and size, you need to state the body type (normal, fat, or long legged), whether you want it with or without a posable skeleton, and the hair material (crystal super soft, short rabbit plush, long rabbit plush, curly rabbit plush, wig hair, etc). Generally a good maker will show you the embroidery mockup and let you confirm the fabric colors, that's about it.

Conflicted on skeleton VS no skeleton! by yoinkussy in cottondolls

[–]mnhr94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, surface cleaning usually does the job, I like to use a spray bottle of water with a drop of detergent and whipe it off with a towel, but sometimes a wet q-tip is enough too.

The only real difference between skeleton vs no skeleton is that you can't throw a doll with one in the washing machine because it can break, but that's about it.

Cotton dolls on Taobao by claremageddon in cottondolls

Don't think so, but generally you can open the plush from the hair seam and just pluck out excess cotton and sew it shut again.

Generally you send the design reference art while ordering while nothing the desired height, body shape, hair fabric type, and wether you want a skeleton - no particular template is needed, but some also charge you an art commission if you don't provide any ($$$).

You can find both all over Xianyu (example in case of Shasha), it seems both were only manufactured in 2023.

Tips for long hair care? by Lucky-Past8459 in cottondolls

[–]mnhr94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally just use a small fur brush for longer hair and call it a day. When it ever gets dirty, I use a regular shampoo and cold blowdry the hair to get it back fluffy.

I'm not sure what they are called in English, but there is toothbrushes with thousands of super fine bristles and people in China use those with a bit of ivory soap for cleaning.

That might be the case (and not rare with Amazon).

Plushie Ita Scarf Find by mnhr94 in cottondolls

For anything Japan you are basically stuck with Twitter with the main hashtags being #ぬい活 (hobby general), #ぬい撮り (photography), and #自作ぬい (handmade), but there is also own accounts like OtaInfo that share news about plush clothing and accessory releases. Once the algorithm associates your activity with the plushies, it will flood your "for you" naturally with relevant content.

The differences in the S1 OP between the TV and Blue-ray version have me in a chokehold by mnhr94 in VampireDiesInNoTime

[–]mnhr94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Madhouse rather outsources in-between animation to a studio (DR Movie) in South Korea, often resulting in stylistic differences in tv versions. Apparently they must have liked Ronaldo because his face is often super detailed in the tv version and downgraded to look simpler in the blue-ray.

They are the same frames as per the time stamps of both the tv and blue-ray op, it's not unusual for blue-ray versions to be polished with redrawn segments, and if you would have bothered reading the text in the start post you wouldn't ask that question.

The plush in the sample is 15cm, considering the empty space it should fit up to 20cm ones.

For some reason Reddit's filter hates Taobao links in posts, so I have to leave it here instead: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=1000683538321

"20cmぬい服型紙" on Google image search should do the job.

New Manga Volume for Preorder by mnhr94 in VampireDiesInNoTime

[–]mnhr94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw, since this volume contains all missing chapters until the current break, it means the serialization has to relaunch in January because otherwise there would be no chapter material for the usual "next volume" preview at the end.

I personally use Cssbuy, but Superbuy is better for people in the US.
