The Doll Forum

Hello,

Storm has never had her own thread (at least I don't remember starting one for her...) and I took a few photos of her today, so I thought, might as well start one.

Here is Storm the Voodoo Witch:

Many thanks andy1324. Storm is very handy around the house .

A random portrait photo from today. Storm's wearing the cap, sash and tie thing that came with the undead schoolgirl outfit. She's very happy to be relieved of the nightmare super tangle wig.

A few more photos of Storm from today (whilst I was meant to be working - dolls are such a distraction.)

The first is a noir portrait: Next up is with 'The Doll Laboratory''s teeth and tongue set. And the next 4 is because the WM168A really likes to stand up unaided. Sometimes it's actually a bit annoying. I say to her "will you please just rest against the wall because I'm worried I'll find you flat on your face one day" but no, she wants to stand up without any polystyrene blocks behind her back. Maybe she actually is possessed in some way...

In the next photos she is standing unaided and very very stable in the middle of my living room (please ignore the other oddities in the room, who just happen to be standing around chilling).

PS The almost skeletal WM168A is the perfect body to rock the dead scout costume (I might have said it was an undead schoolgirl costume before ... I couldn't remember what I'd bought.)

Love these pics. The costumes and dolls are just so friggin cool. Awesome collection.
Love the Ghoul Scout Uniform. Very cool.
If she is balancing, big brass ones for doing that.

Thanks for posting these Hunt

Yes, she is balancing. She balances really really well. I wonder if it's because she's so skinny .

Delving into my Storm archives now. For a doll I've had over a year, I've not taken many photos. Maybe less than 10 worth sharing. I'll start with these three .

Cracking set of photos and Storm has an unearthly presence all her own. Just WOW.

Although if I could pick a second, the second from right with the bright orange hair is just my cup of tea. Pert boobies, haughty gaze and long, flowing dress. YES PLEASE.

Many thanks Michaelangelo. The 286 is a fantastic head .

The orange haired lass is over in this thread (I need to update with more photos sometime): viewtopic.php?t=158113

Some more photos of Storm. This pretty much brings her up to date. In some photos she's still on the YL168B (originally I loved this sculpt, then went off it, so Storm snatched the WM168A off my #64, and she's been there ever since.)

Today Storm is modelling a white towel (I've always thought towel style is mighty fine for dolls, lovely soft and safe ) and a shorter blonde hairdo. Not sure if you can see on this photo below, but Storm's cocoa TPE seems to be splitting itself at certain spots. There's this one on her neck and some other ones too. I have another cocoa WM and the TPE is a lot different (also she's lighter chocolate), so I guess WM realized there was something wrong with their cocoa TPE blend and changed it. So far not a biggie, but I'm thinking that in time, I'll have to replace Storm with Storm II (and I've already got some crazy ideas .)

I'm so sorry to see the splits. But, you have a great attitude about it.
It's never the end... Just a transformation into something else.

She is so beautiful. I love that face. Also the body, I love lean and mean girls.

So my theory is the pigment amount, maybe the type, maybe both. But Diavolo/Serena has a similar problem.
The first red girl I had was a much deeper red, she is now gone, but I saved the hands. The tpe has split everywhere.
Can't help but think it's the pigment. Think about it. It might be the cause of the loss of cohessiveness in the tpe.

So far, keeping Diavolo wiped with mineral oil and fewer extreme poses are helping, but nothing is forever...at least in tpe.

I'll post my Cyber Frankenstein girl once she's done. Most of her will be Automotive Bondo on a doll skeleton.

Love to hear your ideas of what you'll make Storm into.

This seems to be an issue with the WM dark TPE. Not sure to what extent it affects other brands' dark TPE.

Hello MX-V,

Storm's got a good bit of life left in her yet .

She spends most of her time standing up. I'll just have to keep an eye on her splits, they are very insubstantial at the moment.

I have an idea that if Storm's body did fall to pieces, perhaps she'd be rejuvenated in red skin tone.

Hello PD,

I think it just affects the older cocoa WMs. My newer cocoa WM (a year old now) is a different shade of chocolate, and feels different too. I'm confident WM have fixed this issue now. My cocoa 6Ye (HR) is very good.

Storm came to visit me in my office this morning. And she was all naked!

She challenged me to resist her all day (work day) until 6pm, but I couldn't. I'm so weak!

She is soooo friggin cute.
I wouldn't get any work done.

You're right. I didn't get any work done until I'd given her a good seeing too .

And then I had to ban Miss chocolatey skankiness from my office for a while because she's too much of a distraction. But she's back today and wearing some clothes
HtS

I really shouldn't let this lanky skinny cocoa elf into my office. It wasn't long before the clothes fell off and it all went very messy. Here is a satisfied Storm . PS An insert vagina without the insert can be surprisingly good
