a custom commission for @honig-bienchen! my final commission project for the year, and one of the most fun. i've been wanting to make a dragonborn doll for a while, but had not gotten around to it, and this character design was incredibly cute & a joy to work with.

I’m currently collecting Monster High dolls and I cannot tell you how frustrating it is that New In Box dolls are considered so much more valuable than opened ones, even if they look like shit because they’re old and the packaging doesn’t secure them completely!!

One of my recent conundrums (conundra?) was whether or not to gently unbox my original first-wave dolls just to restyle them and re-secure all the accessories — since their poses have become janky and their accessories have come loose in the box — then carefully put everything back so it looked like new. Other collectors pretty universally said that’s a bad idea if I want to retain the dolls’ value. As-is, their worth is easily in the $200-$400 range, but unboxing them to IMPROVE their appearance could easily bring it down to $100 or less.

So like…. it’s not even about the appearance either. That’s partly it, or maybe that’s just what people like to think it is because they don’t want to admit the truth, which is that it’s about the weird borderline-superstitious belief that an object is more valuable if it has Never Been Touched By Human Hands.

If the original packaging wasn’t a good way to display them I would almost definitely unbox & display my dolls, even if that superstition were still in place. I get that we want to see the product we’re buying but like… a responsible company is gonna quality-control their products and respond to negative feedback. Put a product photo on the box. If you must have the doll be visible, maybe have part of the box show the doll without a plastic window, like how some of the Mermaze Mermaidz have exposed tails that you can actually touch.

I Have My Baby Back! 💜🩵

There was a sale, I took a chance, and here she is. It’s been years and to have her again I’m just so overwhelmed. I’m all teary and I’m just at a loss for words. I’m so happy 💜🥹

A Breakdown of my New Impldoll 1/4 Plump Body (with a MNF Alicia head)

So I've had this body since April, as I ordered right at the release of the Impldoll 1/4 Plump body in real skin back in January/February 2024 to make use of the event to get extra hands and feet. I also got the Susu head, but I split it off with @poupeesdecirque (who made an amazing modded hybrid out of it) as I didn't need it.

I had intended at first to hybrid my DiM Gayane on the body, but then I realized that despite all the annoyance I had with her default body, I didn't see her as super curvy... So I decided to put my Fairyland MNF Alicia on it.

Here she is once I got her a dress. There is nothing slim about this body, so don't even bother getting her slim mini clothes, they will not fit. The dress is intended for Iplehouse JID girls with the glamour bust (my girl has the large bust), but I do think she can share shoes with MNFs from what I've noticed, as mine is wearing her old MNF sized shoes easily.

I'm gonna post the nude doll body pics under the read more cut:

Let's take a brief look at the body upon opening it. Look, no flat butt!! I gotta say, the level of detail on this body is insane. Like the detailing along the areola and the finger knuckles are beautifully done.

The one thing I am a little confused on is that her groin lacks all definition. It's just an odd choice with such a body, as she has even defined knuckles on her toes, but they haven't put anything there for girl dolls since the SGB Star Body, that one didn't have any crotch detailing.

Oh well, not much I can do about that other than mod it myself. But since my girl doesn't go commando, I don't care enough to add the detailing myself.

Now let's compare the Fairyland MNF A-Line girl body to the Impldoll 1/4 plump body. The Impldoll body is a good bit taller and thicker!

I took off the S-Hook and put a 3D Printed neck key on it as the neck would be way too short with just a washer. MNFs have really thick necks on top, so there is gapping, but it's no noticeable one the wig is on. Let's get a good turnaround view:

In the side and back view the gapping his more noticeable, but she stands solid. I did wire her arms legs as she liked to kick herself, but now she is great.

Impldoll even sent her with some coated wire to install as the owner. I used aluminum wire from my own stock as the Impldoll one was a titch too weak and thin to hold up against the elastic.

She sits easily on her legs, and can easily sit with her knees raised to her chest. The engineering is really nice on this aesthetic body, and Impldoll provides a lot of colors to choose from.

But do keep in mind any non "standard" colors (color matching and darker resins) there will be a good several month delay in getting your order. They mentioned this on their Instagram recently as people got worried about waiting 6+ months for dolls that others received within 3 or less months (I ordered a standard color, so it was fast).

I'll end the post with a small resin comparison. I have many other normal skins I can compare, to Impldoll real skin, such as DV normal pink and normal (yellow toned), 2D Doll normal yellow, DFA normal pink, TD Doll normal pink, etc... so just let me know if you want a resin comparison and I will do so.

Thanks for looking!

"Where is Derek? Oh, never mind. I know where he is. Working on the mystery of the fat animal."

"The great animal, Your Highness."

"Big, great. It's large and has fur."

Her majesty Queen Uberta has arrived! 👑

This was a project that started in...2019, I believe? I remember making the wig, then starting to work on the repaint...only to realize that the face reaembled Anastasia's Grandma instead of Queen Uberta soooo, that was that 😆 I started dreading handsculpting the head for the next years, always putting other projects ahead of this, but in the meantime technology advanced so, years later, a 3d Printed head was the answer!

Anyway, here's the new entry to my always expanding collection of Swan Princess dolls! With Queen Uberta done, I think the next one will probably be Rogers 🤔 Or other versions of Odette and Derek? There's also Zelda, Clavious, Chamberlain...and King William, and- There's so many people!!!
