The Doll Forum

Thank you Xephyr, Mishka, mi6c, windave. I'm glad you all like the post and pics. It was quite cathartic compiling the images and putting my thoughts down. I took so many shots, although most were blurry bird cage liner. Sanhui makes some very lovely dolls, and this a humble attempt to highlight the...

Wow, what a looker! Congrats on your new acquisition Mishka1965. Those freckles, man, so cute. Thanks for sharing her story with us, and I look forward to more photo shoots.

Forb, not sure if there would be a visual difference between the two options.
De Motte, I am glad you like my little angel.
Sofos, thank you for your kind words. 4 weeks isn't that long, she is worth the wait.

The Elfie is a pretty doll, would be nice to see more images of this one, I agree. Having recently gotten a 156, I wouldn't worry too much about shipping, was pretty solidly packaged. Canada customs did poke around in the box a bit, but they didn't totally unpack her, just got as far as opening the ...

Ok, Mick, I'll reapply the powder tonight, see how that goes. Cant hurt, and certainly helps with the feel. I tried both baby powder and corn starch, didn't see too much difference between the two, although the baby powder does smell nicer. trauma, as i don't have a hair dryer I can't try that optio...

Thanks Virgin_Doll, was kinda fun putting the intro together. Showed me I took a lot of blurry shots at least :) SeniorDollLover, I was always rather concerned with shipping something like this overseas, but aside from the customs snoops and a few bent corners on the box, she arrived safe and sound....

One of the things I keep meaning to do, Forb, is to get a scale up in here. I weigh myself all the time at work, so its not something i felt i needed here, but I am also curious as to how much she weighs. I'll look around :) Thanks, LaDolly, I'm glad we finally made the plunge. She's more then I ant...

So, as the topic suggests, I am having some troubles with static. It makes for a fantastic light show in the dark, but my lovely Ali is picking up all kinds of stuff due to being so charged. I figure it will probably go away once the cold weather leaves and heaters are off, and a humidifier might he...

Good idea, LaDollyVita, thanks for the heads up.

Nice shots here, thanks for sharing them with us. Makes me wish I was in the army.. well, perhaps not with all the shooting and stuff.

Part II, the assembling!! Heh, not really that much to assemble here, but I will note the headbolt has some threading issues at the end. Not that big a deal, I did manage to get her together despite that. Anyway, thanks Coco&KK, and all of Sanhui for making this for me, and all of you out there ...

Hey all, just wanted to post something quick about myself and my new lovely. Been a long time lurker here on the forum, and gleaned a lot of good information in that time and dreamed of having a doll of my very own. Around Christmas, I did a lot of searching through models and sites, to see what was...

Congrats noiseb1, she should be home any minute now

Forb, I didn't go with the thick skin option (didn't even know that was a thing). What other options did you guys go for?

Best of luck with the house situation, hope everything work out.

Thanks Forb, and thank you LaDollyVita. Alicia is getting to be a diva with all this attention :) Perhaps I'll start getting my pics together and working on that intro. The body is Amelia, the face is an Adeline, which does have teeth and tongue. Its a nice aesthetic feature, although I had a mini h...
