***THREAD EDITED TO REMOVE PHOTOS OF AKIRA MODEL DOLL***

It's been a long time since I've posted here. I've been really busy with work and other things, but I wanted to dress Kelsi up nice today and show off her new hairstyle, eyelashes, and eye liner. As I get time, I'll dress up the other girls... right now they're relaxing in their pajamas in bed. I ha...

"M6x15mm Furniture Cabinet Plastic Base Adjustable Leveling Glide Foot" That's what dollguy said to look for in his thread. He said look on eBay, I looked them up on Amazon (only because I have an Amazon account and not an eBay) and they have them also. I kept scrolling and found these one...

"Are standing feet waterproof?" - no "Is there a problem with the standing feet in the shower?" - no Imagine a doll standing in the shower. Water rinses from top to bottom. Even if the feet are a few millimetre in the water the water will not climb up against earth gravity. So t...

Simple way to eliminate finger wire breaks and pokes... Order the doll without them. You absolutely can do this, and I would think any vendor would gladly help you out. None of my dolls have finger wires. I removed them from three and specified to leave them out on the last two. To me, at least, it'...

As long as you order both the head and the body in the same skin tone, you should be fine. I had a WM140D in the tan skin tone that i had bought in 2016. The body got pretty well messed up over the years, but the head was still in good shape. So just a couple of months ago, i bought an OR156B body i...

Look at the banner at the top of the page.

I think I may have found Kelsi's look. I really like her in this wig. It's a Piper doll wig, i think it came as a gift when I got Mei Ran. The skirt is one that i had bought a while ago at an outlet store. When I found it, I thought it was a really cute looking skirt, but it was girls size 6-7. But ...

I have a 157b, and HAD a 140d. Once i got more normal height dolls, the 140 was too short for me. Plus the body had some scars from use. I ended up replacing that 140d body with an OR156b. Same head, but i like her much better now. Between the two, I'd definitely say 157b. The weight is very managea...

This kind of thing is exactly why I won't buy a WM anymore. I haven't since 2018, and the last three dolls i bought (one of which was, admittedly bought from another owner) were not WM. Two were Piper dolls, which were made and packed the way WM should be doing it, and one was an OR Doll body only t...

Thanks, NFT and RLSD. I think he turned out pretty well. I still have a couple of things left to do on him, basically just his hands and feet, and a handle for the rod on the back that moves his head. When i put the handle on, I'll be able to work the cable for his mouth with my forefinger and the c...

I finally got Crow painted up and his head/mouth/eye controllers in. I still have to make his hands and feet, but those will be easy since i can just make them so they attach via the same bolts that the palm and foot plates use. I took a couple of minutes away from watching MST3K to take a picture w...

Okay, so this is kinda doll related and kinda not. I mentioned before that i would be repurposing Kelsi's old skeleton from her original body and building Crow T. Robot from MST3K. I had some time and wanted to do something fun, so i started on him. He still obviously needs a few things and then nee...

I had Kelsi and Ji Eun both out in the game room, so I thought I'd stand them up together for a comparison photo. It's not as easy to see with them both dressed, but the difference is still noticeable. I didn't want to undress Kelsi again, so I just pulled her pantleg up, but you can still see how m...

It makes sense because it is NOT $200 more. It is $200 less. The last doll I bought, which I just got last month, was with the no head option. Because I had a doll with a good head and a trashed body. Others have extra heads from those promotions and sales where you get an extra head free. Maybe lat...
