a guide I made about glue seepage, why it’s there and how to treat it with the Goo Gone method! 🩷✨

[dollsahoy]

Hi! We do have ways to permanently deal with head glue now. LA's Totally Awesome cleaner will neutralize or break up the head glue (there are different kinds of glues), as will a specialty cleanser called Triton X-114, which works better but is harder to get and use than LA's TA

Here's a link to the Triton

Triton X-114

A nonionic surfactant with multiple applications.  Also known as Octylphenoxypoly (ethoxyethanol). Sold in 1 ounce (30 ml), pint (500 millil

And here are some posts about using LA's TA

I may have figured this out a whole 2 years ago (please see that post for the results and a few warnings), but it was brought to my attentio

The Super Long Totally Awesome Follow Up Post.

Immediate results aren’t always the best indicator of success, so I’ve still been at it with the LA’s Totally Awesome. I’ve spent about $5 o

I have tried both methods with success (although I prefer LA's TA because I am a cheapskate XD)

[savydolly]

LA Totally Awesome comletely got rid of it for me. though i will say it destroyed the tinsel in my Sweet 1600 clawdeen's hair (a sacrifice i was willing to make)

Found some of the TLS Rainbow Brite dolls at Walmart today! But why ... is their hair like this? There didn't seem to be a ponytail holder rattling around inside the box? Are the ponytails down on purpose??

Edit: I did check the clear sticker seals and they looked unopened/tampered with. I could be wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️

[savydolly]

they are definitely supposed to have a hair tie the stock pic shows one present. i wonder if someone took them??

Update on that doll dealer I discovered

Wrote a post about My Dollection, but want to add some updates. Someone kindly pointed out to me that they're in Malaysia, so shipping is not cheap. From my email discussions with Awa (AwA?), two to three Penny's Box Antu Nature's Secret blind box dolls can fit in a medium box, and shipping is $28 USD from Malaysia to the US, plus $6 USD for tracking. (Shipping for one doll would be $18.)

Sadly, the 1/6 scale/YoSD Blind Box ImomoDoll does not include the outfit, face-up, wig, or eyes. A normal face-up (no 3D accessories) is $65 USD. Awa said that if I purchased the $9.90 Dollection Gift Bag, I would get eyes and a wig for the doll. So I did.

The additional cost for face-up and gift bag with my two previous orders pushed me over the free shipping threshold, and Awa was happy to combine my orders if I was willing to wait. Awa also told me the ImomoDoll would be ready next month, which seems pretty fast to me. I ordered two Penny's Box blind box dolls one and three weeks ago, and they're both ready to ship - which is, like, lightning fast.

So if you just want one or two of the Penny's Box little doll blind boxes, and you live in the US, Jane's Dolland sells them for $21 USD, but the shipping is much cheaper. Jane's Dolland also has quite the selection of BJDs and vinyl dolls, including FateMoons, Xaga doll. Asleep Eidolon, and Tiny Fox.

I guess that makes two doll dealers I recently discovered.

And no trench coats or back alleys, you dirty-minded collectors.

[queenofsquids]

Thank you for compiling this info

[savydolly]

Husband just ordered me two of the  「FenJieXian」dolls and I’m SUPER stoked to get them. Always so fun to discover new dealers! I’m hype to turn these lil guys into Squid kids >:3

They look so cute!!

[savydolly]

Idk if anyone even bothered to check this but hey! Rainbow High pants fit Jenny dolls pretty heckin well! :)

[dollsonmain]

kirindensetsu recommended this link  to make a vinyl slurry like we’ve been doing with acetone and hard plastic, and it’s worth future experimentation RE bubbly MLP, but not on someone else’s ponies, of course.

[savydolly]

God her hair was so crispy...

[savydolly]

Time to destain my Volks Rena

[dollsonmain]

Other than taking their after photos, these are done.

That’s like…..¼th of the box. ish.

[savydolly]

That pink one with the jewel is so pretty! I’ve been wanting to get some Ponies to round out my collection, do you know what her name is?

[dollsonmain]

Why.

[savydolly]

WHY IS IT SO HARD 

[savydolly]

Has anyone ever attempted to reroot a Skydancers doll?

I have been watching a few on ebay and one of the ones i was looking at’s hair is attrocious lol. the head seems small enough that rerooting might be an issue. Anyone in Dollblr have experience with this?

[oak23]

so one of my upcoming projects is a Beast doll to go with my belle but i am Concerned™ how horny IG will be

[aubreysilver]

[dollsonmain]

Guess who’s obsessed with a filthy doll that’s got the wrong goddamn hands again.

[dollsonmain]

Guess who’s also not going to be getting the ACNH cartridge back anytime soon because someone is hunting marlins….

[dollsonmain]

I think those are actually Volks/DD gun hands (for handgun), just the wrong color.

Eh, I sent a low offer. We’ll see. That’s not a bad price for a DD at all (if anyone wants to bite, go ahead), but if I could get it even lower, that would be nice.

[cosmomoore]

Lol, is it that same seller again? 🤔

[dollsonmain]

Yep.

[cosmomoore]

I kept scrolling until I found your post with the listing.

Pat’s back at it lol

[thorn-amidst-roses]

“Have to list as used but she has never been. Is in very good condition.”

…I BEG TO FUCKING DIFFER

[dollsonmain]

IKR?!?!?!

Seriously?!?!

[savydolly]

she looks like she has gloss poured in her eyewells >>

[dollsonmain]

The listing does say her eyes are glued in (upside down), so there’s no telling what that is. Might be super glue, even.

[savydolly]

good lord aaaa I hope someone rescues her bc I’d love to see her saved dfhjsdhjkfshkd

I’ve had these Obitsu60 clear pumps for many, many years. Since somewhere around 2005 I think, though I don’t remember.

I don’t remember a lot of things.

Obviously they’ve discolored over time. You can’t see they’re also seeping plasticizer and both sticky and greasy.

Since they’ve already been ruined by the passage of time, I did an experiment.

They went in a baggie of cream developer, which is approximately 12% peroxide, then into a jar with some water in it, and on the candle warmer.

The candle warmer isn’t very hot, really, but warmer than nothing.

After two or three days (I don’t know, time was a blur for me BEFORE the lockdown; it’s worse now) they were opaque-ish (I kind of expected that) and still rather orange.

OR yellow, if hit with the flash.

So I refreshed the developer, new bag, new water, etc. and put them back on for another day.

To the eye, they are like the color of fatty milk. Slightly ivory. On camera, still picking up orange.

Yesterday, when I took them out and washed them off, I was thrilled they were at least no longer greasy and sticky. Overnight, they became greasy again.

Gross. I don’t trust that not to melt a doll’s feet.

Oh well, nothing lost in this experiment.

[imreadydollparts]

Unexpectedly, the shoes are regaining their transparency????

I wonder how transparent they will become, again.

[imreadydollparts]

I don’t have much to do right now, doll wise. Weather is still bad for faceups, and that’s most of what’s in my queue. There are so many faceups pending that I will run out of spray sealant before I get them done.

So I’m still playing with these shoes.

They are slowly becoming transparent again, and what color they appear to be is heavily dependent on the lighting they’re viewed in.

In the office, they’re kind of yellow, still. A lot better than they used to be.

In the kitchen with natural lighting, they’re orange. Almost as orange as they were to begin with.

[savydolly]

I’m assuming theyre still sticky? o:

[savydolly]

I’ve started buying Calico Critter sets and I can feel a new hyperfixation building

[dollsonmain]

Sadly, her face IS mangled.

I died laughing when I opened her head. It looks like they tried to open her mouth, gave up/failed, and superglued it shut again. The left side of her mouth is sliced from one hole to another. Still not sure that wasn’t a stitched mouth mod gone wrong. I don’t know. I don’t want to.

Head cleaned up well enough, other than the expected stains.

[firespirited]

someone really didn’t want those eyes to budge!

[queenofsquids]

@firespirited Seriously, that’s nuts how much … product … was crammed in there 🤔

Seeing the head go from that to this was like letting out a long tense breath I didn’t know I was holding

on the way to so much better already

[dollsahoy]

That was, like, an entire stick of hot glue on each eye?

[dollsonmain]

Each eye had a small wad of white eye putty, a HUGE wad of NS putty, and then yeah hot glue like… all over.

[keiths-dolls]

her lips look like they could potentially be rebuilt. It’d take work but if you sanded the scratchy bits and sculpted her a new lip maybe? Heck, she’s anime styled, she doesn’t even need molded lips lol. Just ram some epoxy in there and sand it smooth.

She has kind eyes you know. I think she’s relieved to finally be with someone who’ll help her. Poor mangled doll.

It astounds me that people can spend so much on something and then do well.. this… to it. You’d think you’d practice on something cheap and worthless first wouldn’t you?

[dollsonmain]

I don’t want to add if I can avoid it. Because then I have to paint to match, and I can NOT color match for the life of me.

[savydolly]

I guess if all else fails... zombie mod?
