Just Finished A Mini Y2k Doll Room N_n Scroll Down For A Video Of It At The End!

Got the BTS dolls V and Jung Kook since they had the closest faces to the characters I'm going to use them for. Ordered them online since I didn't care that much how off the paint placement was but still a little sad I can't salvage much of it. LA's Totally Awesome did a good job getting rid of whatever product was in their hair, tho.

Tried to remove V's face first. Took 20min with a magic eraser just to get that much off his eye. :/ The rest is on the eye surface and underside of the lash line, so I'll just paint over it.

Luckily his lips seemed to only be two paint layers deep, so it took only a few minutes.

Will definitely be getting more of these boys when they go on sale if only for the sculpts alone.

Chi curious about the new girl that arrived today. She's a bit shy. n_n

Will post updates on Chi's (hopefully) completed armor soon!

Crap picture is a bit crap.

seeing people say shit like “i wish i as born gay” or “i wish i was born a different gender” makes me s o sad bc ill bet you dimes to dollars that person is on the lgbt spectrum but because of ingrained phobias and the way media portrays people like us, it feels like an insurmountable implausibility, when its really not. if you wish you were gay, or trans, or whatever, then like, maybe you should give the introspection a chance. compulsive heteronormativity is real and it can truly make you believe youre cis and straight and that you never need to think more into it than that.

“3 Defining Features of ADHD That Everyone Overlooks”

Acetone doesn't seem to work on this paint (rather, it didn't work as quickly and I didn't want the vinyl to start absorbing it), so I tried a dab of Windsor & Newton brush cleaner. It works so well, it made it easier to magic eraser off the bits left behind. Makes me wonder if the gloss sealant was resisting the acetone or just the sort of paint they used. Maybe both.

I my shadow high Nicole came in the mail today, so I decided to do some monster high color comparisons.

Gray Frankie is the closest match, though is slightly lighter than the body irl (the head is an exact match for Ash, though). Goulia is close, but is also too light and a warmer tint.*

* I realized later that the Goulia head I picked had yellowed. I compaired against another I had in storage and she was an exact match for gray Frankie.

Lagoona is too pale and might work better on Ash or Heather. I don't have a not-yellowed rochelle, but her wing looked too light when compared.

Just because I have some gray boys on hand, Cam Gargoyle boy and Invisi Billy are too light. Neightan Rot is too dark. I unfortunately don't have a Slo Mo to compare.

Also the wrist/lower arm is slightly lighter than the hand and body, but I think the light angle made it look paler than irl.

The big city walmart got Shadow Highs recently, and in a moment of weakness, I got Ash. I always liked the Rainbow High line well enough, but apparently I can't resist big dolls or fantasy colors, lol.

His packaging was much less complicated than the other Rainbow High doll I purchased (for a modding project) in that I was able to access all his clothes without tearing any of the packaging apart.

I didn't care for his airpods or the sneakers he wore in-box, but otherwise I love his outfits. I wonder if he's supposed to be Japanese or just an otaku? Maybe both?

I plan on going through and cleaning up the loose threads and hairs. Maybe someday I'll wash the glue out of his hair, trim the back to his crown, and style it more like the box art.

I suspect it's the case with all the Shadow High dolls, but he was a pain to photograph.

Confused Sweetie Bell ftw.
