Fall doll news

[DollyKim]

Dolls don't count, I have one and detest the franchise but I have to mildly applaud anything that gets kids reading, or playing dolls.

[Mary Kathryn]

Yes, at least they're reading and will most likely move on to other books as they branch out.
I'm giving serious thought to a reroot. Although I do adore the curly, curly red hair. And for once the back doesn't look like crap like it does on most collector dolls.

Toys R Us exclusive Liv girls have drums, so I had an excuse to get one. Will add her to the Little Encyclopedia soon. Bonzo stole the drums because it hage a huge kick and working pedal but they couldn't do a working hi-hat. But it's drums!

Saw a new line of Monster High with new clothes for a dance or something. I finally did cave and bought the guy and girl, $10 cheaper at Target than Toys R Us so check around, and will be adding them to my site. I find their ability to easily disarm themselves not good for a children's toy :/ Target has $13 Liv dolls but TRU is trying to clear out what's left of their Bratz and a few other things in time for the Xmas rush. And mine was out of drums.

Another long story short now is the time to suggest new dolls for me to get, yeah I'm still missing anything from Triad, but I'll be doing a mini update adding the Liv and MH motion tests before the major revamp before the holidays.

Found the LIV drums, woohoo! I've been wanting a decent drum kit in sixthscale for years.
I haven't seen the Dawn of the Dance dolls yet-the regular MH kids have barely shown up here.

My EVA is here- the design is nice (yay, Erik!) but the manufacturer skimped on the execution. Still, Men with Dolls has been posting suggestions for tweaks and fixes for anybody who has had problems with their EVO and EVAs. Don't get me wrong, I do like her- I just hope Triad is able to fix some of the initial problems.

Looks like the drumming Liv and the mummy MH have the same skin tone...

I need to try not to switch, like the old Bratz pair gotta keep 'em whole for work. MH does have a nice face.

Got the new Encyclopedia entries up, working on the pic sizes Monster High http://dolfielittles.com/mat.html Liv girls http://dolfielittles.com/spin.html This should be it for updates until the revamp.

Huh. I have 2 Liv dolls (bought for the bodies, they look better with a Barbie head).

Neither one has painted-on underwear. Is this a new Liv thing?

I'd want the drums, but painted-on undies are not useful.

[KatyaR]

Rebodying is the only reason I have bought Liv dolls so far- they have some skintones that Obitsu doesn't. Still prefer Obitsu quality-but until someone at Parabox/Obitsu wakes up to the fact that people want something besides Pale or Extremely Pale, it's nice to have another choice.

[Kd_Bunchanumbers]

Personally, I like Liv bodies because they don't make Barbie hybrids look hilariously awful due to their wider shoulder width and general stockiness compared to the Obitsu... Of course the boobs, the way the arms look weird in sleeveless shirts and the fact that the LIV arms are short proportionally are all detractors, but when fashionistas/Obitsus are two only two colours, it makes me somewhat glad LIV has... three.

Of course if you can swap out the LIV hands with obitsu hands the arms don't seem so weird.

I don't really mind the LIV panties since they're pretty weird looking naked anyway...

[DollyKim]

Seen more of the new Bratz, it looks like they have hinged knees and a less slutty appearance, same old girls and their skin tones are there too. A few guys are available too. Can't say how they compare to the old ones until I take Domonique in with me.

SIS dolls are back at Toys R Us, some have wrists some don't, some come in two packs, all have hinged elbows. Easiest way to compare, if you can't go box to box in the store, is to have the head you wish to transplant with you.

Flipping cheerleader Barbies have turned up.
