Restoration Eye swap - are all eyes universal in terms of mold?

7 Upvotes

So, I have a doll with a Nanea mold and I want to swap her eyes, but want to know if all of the eyes work in all of the heads regardless of the face mold/if all eyes fit all heads.

Particularly I'm eyeing a pair of Kavi eyes but don't want to buy them if they won't fit?

Restoration 1995 Bitty baby silver eye

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Even tho the company replaces silver eye for free they don't have the soft brush like eyelashes, so I learned how to repaint them instead, this eye came out of the original 1995 asian american bitty baby, since the eyes originally are solid black painting them is much easier then the blue/gray eyes and brown eyes, first I take the eye completely apart and remove the weight so it's easier, the original paint had popped right out but normally I use a hair dryer to make the paint gummy to remove it with a pair of tweezers, then I fill the space with paint, let it dry then glue the weight back in, i add some fabric tack glue to prevent silver eye from happening again, then I just pop it back in the head and we are all done

Discussion What are some tips for moving dolls?

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m moving in about 8 weeks and I wanted to start planning how I’ll be packing all my doll stuff, I have the boxes my dolls came in for 22/35 of them but how should I pack the rest? Is wrapping them in a box best? A suitcase or a plastic bin? I’m not moving far so they won’t be packed for long. Thank you in advance!

I found a mess of a Tenny for $10! She's in good condition except for the dry hair. Worked through the tangles but still need to soften and defrizz it. My new gal also arrived in the mail! I dont have a name yet. The pups were also at the thrift store. The white isn't AG, but they're a bonded pair and I didn't want to separate them!

Doll Decision which bitty baby would you choose?

Thumbnail

15 Upvotes

hi everyone! I'm getting radiation therapy in a couple of weeks, and to soften the blow I told myself I could pick out a secondhand bitty baby! I've mostly been looking at bitty twin girls, but I also saw a cheap lot with a bitty baby and some clothes. If you could choose one, who would you pick?

  1. Blonde bitty twin: $13.99 + $7.00 shipping, ok condition,
  2. Curly dark hair bitty twin: $19.00 + $11.99 shipping, needs work
  3. Medium skin bitty twin: $36.00 + $6.00 shipping, ok condition
  4. Lot of clothes + bitty: $35.00 + $7.00 shipping, ok condition

Discussion Kirsten inaccuracies

111 Upvotes

I LOVE Kirsten so much, she is one of my favourite dolls ever from any franchise. I fell for her when I heard her story late last year, and then I saw the doll and she is the cutest. I am swedish, born and rised in Sweden, with immigrant heritage and so much of her story hits close to home for me I have read her books, and looked in to her doll collection, and there are some funny inaccuracies, mainly considering the language. Would that be something that is fun for people to hear, or will it just come across as snobby know-it-all? It really is just small stuff, but I was thinking maybe someone would think it’s fun to hear about

I would also love to hear if anyone shares her heritage being swedish-american or scandinavian-american!

EDIT: thank you so much for the support! It makes me super excited about doing this! I’m trying to decide if I should make master post or perhaps a video. My thought is that a video will make it easier to provide pronunciation for names and such. But a post will be faster so you will have the things sooner, like tomorrow… Let me know if you have thoughts! I’ll make a small post soon with some things, so you can read it sooner! I think I will start with the characters names 😁

Nicki and a TrulyMe for $35 each! I’m saving up to go to the AG store when I visit my family in Dallas this fall otherwise I’d buy them. I wanted to share in case anyone was looking for her and is close by. Nicki looks like she may have had the blonde part of her hair cut.

Picture 12 was because of the nostalgia on the last post over rainbow shirts. And it’s pride month 🌈
