I’ve been thinking about this for a while. I collect Monster High dolls (along with other types). It makes me happy, I enjoy it, save up money for them, etc. Whenever I mention it to my father (for context, I’m a minor, which to me makes this crazier) he laughs and says “Dolls? That’s not collecting!“ Or something along those lines. He says because they have ‘no monetary value’ like pokemon cards, they’re not a collection. I‘ve tried to explain to him that collecting means having multiple of something that you enjoy, doesn’t mean it costs a lost, people collect feathers, rocks, etc. How come dolls aren’t a collection?

I feel like it’s deeply rooted in misogyny. If they were action figures, I’d probably have support from my dad (again, I’m a minor and apparently already too old to collect dolls- why is there an age to dolls?) and other people wouldn‘t stare at me strangely when I mentioned them. My female friends and mom, on the other hand, are glad that I collect them and actually view them as a collection. Is it too feminine for men (yes I know some men collect dolls too, that’s great!)? Why is it such a problem to call my collection of 15+ dolls an ACTUAL collection?

I was feeling very meh about these, as I am not at all into blind boxes, but as we all know by now, there's very non-disruptive ways to check these, so here we are! The Minnee dolls are the exact same height as The Borrowers, which is a series of books I have loved for 50 years. In Grannyvale, this is Arrietty Clock, all grown up and living in a clock of her own. So I'm a convert, and I have plans for getting her some friends!

This is Comic-Con with a RIT Tangerine dip and a skirt made from a vintage handkerchief - sewing for dolls this small is going to mean using very thin fabrics indeed!

Miss Delicious by Rebecca Black plays on loop everytime I look at these dolls. They are so beautiful, the clothes are a quality I never expected manufactured doll clothes to be, and it pisses me off comparing them to my collectors edition Barbies in their plastic clothes with shoes that are too small to close. (looking at you, Clueless dolls).

Both dolls are the Elara sculpt and were from AliExpress. Shipping from the Xian Xian website wNHas $35USD, to Canada, wheras I got free shipping from AliExpress.

I really love them all so much, It might maybe a tad too colorful?? Im not sure tbh xD

Idk why i see the first barbatos in such a feminine style rather than a more madculine one like his brothers

trying to trade Fangvote Rochelle for the complete the craft bratz drop with the posters would this be fair?

Zoe is a Healthy Roots doll. 🩷🫰🏾

I finally found her. Even though it was super painful I drove to go see if she was there. It helps me tolerate the amount of pain I am in while waiting on surgery. I read the back of the box and started crying. I have Shai and Suki. Really the only ones I wanted but I do love them all. If I can get them all I will. I haven’t had anyone but the people mainly in this sub to share anything doll related to as my only friend has not spoken to me in a while. It makes me really sad. She’s the only one I shared my doll stuff with. I feel silly showing my mom or sister. And it was just nice having a friend. And the back of the box made me cry. Hopefully I can find a friend one day that will like doll too.

The bottle is hand sanitizer. We nonbinarys just out here living with the power of Comfort Franklin™️. Brought them to work as my emotional support. 🥲

These are my drawings from 3 years ago, when I began iterating the Gen5 sculpt with LA based master sculptor Alain Diaz. I’m a sculptor too, but I wanted to work with someone who has proven experience in the toy space, and Alain has sculpted products for Disney and Hasbro, including the ultra accurate C-3PO head that caused a sensation for Star Wars fans a while back. I knew he’d be right to help me realise Gen5 in 3D, with the type of complex articulation I needed to explore for her. Some of the articulation evolved since these schematics, as have aspects of her aesthetic, and she’s actually more poseable now than this. If you have *nstagram or TikTok, please follow @SheisGen5 for more of her rollout… Every new follower brings her closer to reality 💜

Does anyone know of someone who could make a shirt, belt, bracelets and necklace like he's wearing? I'm trying to make a custom doll of my mh oc.

She was in desperate need of accessories.

if you’re interested in seeing all my Trashion Alley research, I’m finally making the document available for everyone! It is a work in progress, and very special to me hehe. I’ll update as more information comes. - ** My one ask, please don’t turn the document into a chance to spam or harass anyone involved, especially any sellers or creators listed. They have all been reached out to over and over again, and I don’t want this file being a reason they get flooded or spammed. And please please don’t use it to start any sort of drama, this is my passion project so let’s keep things happy and curious(: - sonny

Repost as I didnt realize my address was in the first picture, so I had to delete the original 💀Hello all, I recently restyled this dolls hair(my first ever attempt so please forgive any imperfections-tips appreciated) I want to make her look like my book character as im an author. Problem is my character is a princess and wears a lot of gowns. It was something i didnt think of until after id gotten her. So, what dresses fit Rainbow High?

I've always wanted a deer doll, not a doll with a human face and some form of antlers, but i cannot for the life of me find one that has a price tag that's not gonna cost my leg. So I'm wondering if there's any deer doll that is around 1:6 scale (standard playline scale), that is at least possible at the knee and elbow, and doesnt have a human head or face. I'll even take one second-hand and fix her up.ive tried Google and Etsy but those two are turning into wastelands of AI. I have a 1:12 scale custom in the works but i figure I'd cast my line and see if anything bites

I've seen all the known dolls like pixlings (which i would like if I can find on sale or second-hand, but that's not what im looking for rn), i know enchantimals (:/), Doe a Deer would be a miracle to even find and is a grail doll, I've seen the little blind bags with the deertars which are cute! But not what im looking for. And Yes, I have both the Buckley & Willow calico critter deer families and I love them, but if you know calico critters they're not barbie doll size. Heck I'll even take just a head I can stick on a doll body.

So! If anyone knows anything that this amateur hasn't found i would greatly appreciate any point of direction to find what im looking for. Thanks in advance!

Asking because finding female dolls with good articulation isn’t that hard compared to male dolls.

I’m open to action figures too as long as I can root hair in their heads.
