Hi !
Have good times together.

TYSM! He's quite the bundle of joy.
We did indeed!
Thank you, from both of us, for your kind words! Harley is indeed a bit of a rarity, so he really stuck out to me when I found his pictures. I wish there were more options out there like him, especially in silicone (I’m currently looking into getting a 2nd doll, and there’s literally only one silicone model that has my preferred body type).Michaelangelo wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 3:09 am Lovely pics and so good to get a different perspective on doll ownership. Harley is also unusual compared not just to female dolls (obvs) but also the more muscular male dolls, he's slim, slender and genuinely adorable!
Also, re the last hand-holding pic: very nice nails on both of you![]()
Agreed
I’d like to try properly powdering it to lighten the color slightly. That said, my phone camera seems to exaggerate the color difference considerably. In person, the colors look essentially identical in most lighting, so I’m not too worried about it.carbohvdrates wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2023 3:38 pm The silicone head is so nice! The shade is ever so slightly different but maybe a light powder of foundation in the right color family will do the trick for you, or even airbrushing if you have the tools.
I'm not experienced at all with silicone but you may want to take a look at Starpery's spring loaded moving eyes as well as MF creations easy move eyes, both of which seem to be popular for less hassle adjusting eyes. I'm considering them myself!
I tried it. Unfortunately, the eraser left a smudge on the eye because I applied too much force. It turns out that the eye moving problem is specific to the left eye. It seems the factory put way too much cotton behind the eyeball, making it impossible to move. I pulled a chunk out with tweezers and finally got the eye to go in the desired direction. Unfortunately, in the process, I scratched the surface of the eyeball pretty badly and pulled out one eyelash.
Ouch! It can't be nice!SpartanLover wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 6:09 am This is how they move a silicone doll's eyes at the factory.
