Going through TSA with a Valentina Girl?
Re: Going through TSA with a Valentina Girl?
I would probably say that other than figuring out stuffing, a travel model is probably the model that will give you the least grief. She can roll up into a rather compressed space and probably looks like a bundled up blanket or something if she's rolled up right.
A cuddle version probably would fit in a carry-on with some work, but as FAA only allows you one carry-on and one small personal item/bag, it may not be best to burn your one carry-on with a VG. Given that outside of certain airlines, checked luggage costs you $$$, it may be better to try to ship if it's a long enough trip.
And while a VG is made up of materials that are easily bring-able on a flight in either checked or carry on, I would not want to be that TSA agent that opens your luggage and has to say hi to your doll.
EDIT: I realized my last point is a little sharp on the sarcasm. A Travel VG probably is your best bet and in most cases would not set off any alarms and would not take up a bunch of space.

You know, I actually did something like that when I was working the mods out on one of my VG travel dolls. I had to keep stuffing and unstuffing to see how various mods looked and dealing with polyfil got real old, real fast. It actually worked surprisingly well, for what I was doing at least and was a lot quicker.vicvictothemax wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 7:36 pmHa! How funny.
