aaaahhhhhhhhh Here it is! No picture of a doll wearing the skirt yet, because I foolishly decided I wanted to make a bodysuit to go with it first.
It’s not perfect, but it’s still a lot better than the patterns I use when I sew my own dolls’ clothes…
The bag and beret are from my childhood and I treasure them.
Hi guys! Meet Lilu the gecko lizard. It's a 3d printed articulated toy that has cartoonish rounded shapes. The lizard also has 2 faces - Cute and Funny ones. By the way, which face do you like more?
The heads have a new head attachment system that allows to attach the head to the pin strongly without gluing.
The legs look more attractive thanks to a new way of designing them.
The lizard is available as STL and pre-painted 3MF files on Cults3d, Creality Cloud and soon on MyMiniFactory (we're going to create an account there during a week).
another hybrid doll, this time a magic mixies pixlings unia + g1 monster high operetta.
in moose's official photos for unia, she looked much closer in color to draculaura, but she's actually a perfect match for operetta's skintone (last pic). and with all her fancy face designs, operetta's carved neck and shoulder details don't look out of place. i did buff out her black and red arm tattoo though.
the pixling neckholes are much smaller than the monster high ones. i ended up having to use my dremel and a drillbit with a circumference of abt 3cm (the size of the largest part of the mh neck bulb) to drill it open wider. it isn't a perfect solution, because if you pull or push on her head too hard it'll pop out of place, but for display and photos it works well and she's got a full range of motion.
Finally finished working on the 1980s Barbie haul I got from Goodwill a couple of weeks ago (didn’t really have to do much work all but one were in really great shape). I had to use a flash for these pictures since the weather has been so gloomy lately so these pics aren’t optimal but the dolls still look beautiful I think.
First up, Beauty Secrets Barbie from 1979 ( I consider this an honorary 80s Barbie):
Then the fabulous Golden Dream Barbie from 1980. This doll has all her jewelry but the ring was missing its crystal so I replaced that - tried to get a good picture of that but only partially succeeded. I’m looking for the arm sleeve things right now but will probably end up making replacements for those:
1981 gave us gorgeous Pink & Pretty Barbie and Sunsational Barbie and Ken:
From 1982, which was a great Barbie year for me personally as I got all three of these dolls over the course of the year for Easter/birthday/Christmas - Twirly Curls Barbie, Dream Date Barbie, and Angel Face Barbie (poor Angel Face had a classic broken neck/knob stuck in head/head shoved down neck situation so I made a replacement neck section out of Sculpey and fished the knob out and stuck it back in the neck and glued the replacement part in place. It actually worked out great, and since the replacement piece is in the back of the neck I didn’t bother to paint it for now):
Everybody knows these two released in 1983, Crystal Barbie and Great Shape Barbie (who I personally think is so so pretty). Crystal Barbie was missing a jewel from her earrings so I replaced that, again not a great pick couldn’t get the focus on the earrings really well:
1984 gave us one of the most iconic of the 1980s Barbies, Peaches ‘N Cream. This doll had her beautiful gown and boa but was missing the belt/sash. I made a quick replacement from some chiffon I had on hand. It doesn’t look like the original belt but I think it works for now and has the same general spirit:
And finally, the other doll that really defines Barbie in the 1980s - Day to Night Barbie. The scarf was missing from this dolls outfit so I made a quick replacement from some ribbon I had on hand until I can get the real thing:
