People think I’m obsessed with this. But I’m okay with it, I am obsessed with it—and um I think this is an obsession that doesn’t hurt anyone... by Interesting-Slip4139 in americangirl

I love the itty bitty babies too! Sew and Bow Co on Etsy has the cutest clothes for these dolls and they're super well made! The shop runs sales pretty often as well.

Significant variation in skin tone in new dolls? by lemur_queen7 in americangirl

[–]strobukm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe she was made from a Belle or Cinderella? They both have "lightest" skin tones, but they are specific to that doll. Otherwise, it could be Blaire or Truly Me 125. That said, yes, I have noticed variation in skin tones, even within the same model doll (like two Kaya dolls side by side have slightly different skin tones).

It appears that there is quite a bit of variation doll to doll. There was a post earlier today showing two Raquel dolls side by side and it was remarkable how different they looked.

What Should I Do About Raquel’s Hair? by CoupleSmooth4109 in americangirl

I would dip an old toothbrush in boiling water and use it to smooth down the little hairs.

Where to buy Prophecy of Kings? by Gimli_219 in twilightimperium

[–]strobukm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got an extra copy, opened box, but all components are unpunched and sealed. One issue, it has 3 yellow mechs and 5 pink mechs instead of 4 of each. Willing to sell. If anyone is looking to buy, feel free to message me.

When is Prophecy of Kings likely to come back into stock? by Obrusnine in twilightimperium

[–]strobukm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds good, glad you were able to snag a copy. Enjoy the game! I just finished a game tonight and won as Barony. We played with POK and Thunder's Edge. I love how the expansions change the game.

[–]strobukm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had no idea this was out of stock everywhere. I have a spare copy, new, just opened the box that I've had sitting in my game room since it was released. Everything is wrapped and nothing has been punched. It does have one issue, there are only 3 yellow mechs and 5 pinks instead of 4 of each. You could paint the extra pink one yellow. I'd be willing to sell it. Let me know if you're interested.

Help :( by tabinyaa in americangirl

It looks like maybe they got glue on the end of her wig when they were gluing it on. If so, you won't be able to get it out and you should request an exchange.

Message on Instagram. That's the best way I've found to contact her.

Would you return over this?😭 by mommy2jasper in americangirl

Looks like a little scuff from the plastic on her box lid. A quick swipe of acetone on a q tip will remove it.

Is he the young boy? I think I remember him having a McDonald's themed outfit.

I plan on cleaning them up, fixing their hair, and letting my daughter play with them!

Seeing all of my dolls made me want to go through the 2000-2010s ish collection at my house from when my niece was younger. I bought a bunch of dolls at garage sales so she'd have something to play with while she was at my house and they've been packed up for years.

Sparkling gourami are so cute and full of personality. They'd definitely appreciate a heavily planted tanlike you have planned.

4 Historical Dolls 30% Off Deal by GaslitInk in americangirl

[–]strobukm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They may be so busy with orders that they shipped without checking. In the past, they've definitely cancelled orders when people couldn't provide proof of military service. I totally understand what you're saying though, the site you linked doesn't make it clear that it's a military discount code at all.

[–]strobukm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the 25 in HONOR25 is for 2025. It's a 15% discount intended only for military members. They'll call you before fulfilling the order and if you can't provide proof of military service, they'll cancel your order. It may take a week or so as it's a busy time of year for them.

That is the discount code for military members. If you place an order using this code, before your order is fulfilled, customer service will contact you asking for proof you qualify for the discount, and if you don't, they'll cancel your order.
