2 Dress up dolls ready for custom work

Post by **emeraldscales** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 6:11 pm

A long time ago I bought two dress up dolls and began doing some customization, but then lost interest so I am looking to sell them. Since I am not sure how much they are worth in their present state I will take any reasonable offers. I prefer to ship to the US but will go outside the US if you pay the proper shipping costs. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. Thanks for looking!

Doll 1 is from a Tickled Pink Dress Up body and has been re-haired with light purple yarn to make her look like Stormy in the cartoon. The hair was knotted and fed through rather than glued so you could remove it fairly easily if desired. Her eyes have been repainted green, and her eyebrows are painted purple. I didn't put a topcoat on the repaint so if you want to wash the paint off it is possible. Her body could use a wiping with a wet cloth, and her head is removed. The back her her neck was slit slightly to remove the plug.

Doll 2 is from a Rainbow Brite Dress Up body and has been re-haired with thick black and pink yarn.

That's neat. I always wondered how people removed the heads and reattached them.

I'd like to buy them. Not sure how much to offer though. Do you have an idea of what you want from them?

After paypal fees and shipping fees I'd like to get around $12 for each of them.

I'll take them. Would you consider re-attaching the heads for me? And can you pm me your payment info?

I don't know if this will affect your decision to buy them, but the best I can do is put the white plug back into the head of the purple haired doll. The only way to really secure the head back onto the body is to get a zip tie and slip it through the fold on the neck and then clamp it. Otherwise, I can slip a piece of strong through the hole and tie it on that way. Let me know if that sounds ok or not.

If you can just slip the white thing back into her head, I'm fine with that. Just pm me your paypal info and I'll send ya some money! Thanks!
