Definitely. Those are a good product but I'm a DIYer at heart and like to bring ideas anyone can do if they don't have access to commercial products.
Exactly. Planet Earth is a big place and most countries and continents are not served properly by online shopping like Amazon or others
Where I live a cheap thing costing 20 dollars can end up at 150 adding freight and local taxes.
I mean, for that price I can buy a full head from someone, why spend it in just a pair of eyelashes
DIY is the best option for many things.
My first doll was Plush Doll in 2017
Couldn't afford a silicone. Went shopping but Plush Dolls were priced at US 350 which meant with freight and taxes around 700... too much
So I contacted a Plush doll manufacturer in China and explained my situation. There was a workaround, they could send me a plush model with no stuffing for 80 dollars final price I got a piece of cloth with a zipper. Bought the filling locally and learned how to stuff it.
Then got a plush textile locally, sew a similar model, even applying more hip curves, and soon I had five plush dolls. Sold three online and got even with all shopping costs, now I have two nice Plush for free.
Cant make a silicone doll but any upgrade its surely more fun and interesting to experiment
Im kind of like Larry David, speak my mind and that offends some but thats how I am
