Dolls n' Crafts
The obitsu I ordered for my Nina arrived on Monday, and I had her new body on her by the evening. I decided to go with the hard bust obitsu because I had heard horror stories about “neck melt” issues with the soft bust variety. However I think honestly I’d probably prefer the 25cm soft bust for aesthetics, but on the other hand I think you get slightly better poseability with the hard bust.
At Hobby Lobby, besides finding the bunny doll from an earlier post, I was also pleased to find that they had a small section of miniatures and dollhouses. None of the miniatures were playscale, but there were quite a few things that you could use with your Pullip or for building a dollhouse for your Pullip. The little shortcake on the left is one of those items that I found there. They also had mini books, silverware, an adorable set of tiny cookies and many other things that Pullip could use.
I was also really pleased to find that they had some dollhouse construction materials like tiny baseboards, crown molding, windows, tiny faux tile, and other things you could use to make a dollhouse for your Pullip. The doors though would be too small for Pullip, but it should be easy enough to fashion your own doors. However they had all of the tiny hinges and other fixtures you would need to make and attach your own door. Although Hobby Lobby’s selection was small compared to a miniature store I visited once, their prices were quite a bit cheaper!
I went out shopping yesterday evening with the main goal of trying to find some cheap Barbie clothes for my new Pullip. If you don’t know already, Barbie clothes will fit Pullip..well for the most part. Anyhow I found a cheap clothing set at Target for $2.34 or somewhere around there. This set only includes a top and a pair of shorts, no shoes included. I made some notes about this particular set on what issues they have so anyone else who is shopping can be aware.
I found this little plush bunny today at Hobby Lobby in the doll aisle. It measures about 4 inches from it’s ear tips to it’s feet and it works brilliantly as a plush to for MSD sized dolls. It also works as a pretty good plush for Pullips and 60cm dolls. For Pullip it will be an oversize plush though. The great thing about this find is that the bunny has jointed limbs so you can pose it, and it was only $1.00! They also had small bears there and larger sized bears and bunnies if you are looking for oversize plush for your 60cm and up sized dolls.
I found some other fab things today at Hobby Lobby, but I am going to save them for another post when I have time to get some nice pics of my other finds. So stay tuned! 😀
My Nina arrived today and I was so excited to get her. I am so pleased with her overall look, and I love the ability to make her look in different directions, however we had a snafu….a sad sad snafu….when I went to bend her knees for her to sit, her knee join snapped. D’:> Yes, it was woesville for a while, but I have since ordered a new 27 inch obitsu for her, so it looks like I’ll be modding her much sooner than planned. Anyway I’ll put the full account of today’s adventures, plus pic of the break behind a cut.
