#but River I could leave... hm no there's some cool yarn I saw that could make good hair for her

My sister was asking about the doll I was customizing and then she was like "you know I have some Monster Highs you could use" and I went ?!? you do?? and she was like yeah, went upstairs, and grabbed these. (It was actually pretty funny because she said she had a robot and one with transparent limbs so I immediately went oh Robecca and Spectra but then she brought them down and I didn't even know who River was and had to look it up lol)

Apparently she found them at a thrift store a few years ago and thought she would do... something with them? Unclear, but she gave them to me to customize and I'm so excited. Their hands are a little discolored and their joints are super loose (definitely well played with lol holding them up for these photos was hard) but I think they're going to be great to work on!

Tbqh, I'm not a fan of the G1 bodies (especially the little sister body, the stomach looks distended to me and it kind of creeps me out) so I gotta figure out how to make clothes for them asap but I'm super excited to work on Ella specifically. I mean River Styxx is a really cool doll that will be fun once I figure out what to do with her, but I actually have an OC that Ella is going to be perfect for! I just have to figure out how I'm going to adjust her "skin" color to the right shade(s). I'm getting paint supplies tomorrow though and that will be a good start.
