Why should buy your product if you can't even be bothered to have a real one to model? Or have a real person play with them? Why? Why would I be confident in this? You can now give me absolute garbage when the product image is already piss poor. And that isn't going to fly.

MATTEL IS USING AI FOR STOCK PHOTOS

[coolcatsodalite]

Hello, everyone! I'm happy be opening US based dye commissions! Currently, I will only be accepting commissions from within the US, due to the cost of international shipping. (Canada may DM but costs can still be quite high)

About me: I have been dyeing dolls for around 5 years now. It's an enjoyable part of the hobby for me, and as someone who is unable to work, I hope it can be a source of some income.

I exclusively use Rit Dyemore. Turn around time is 1-2 months. 3 slots available. You may claim multiple slots.

Slot 1:

Slot 2:

Slot 3:

At this time I will not be mixing custom colors. This takes more time and trials and I cannot guarantee I will get what you want. You may request a mix I have done for myself previously. *Exact color match is not guaranteed.* Rit Dyemore offers a wide range of colors and I am happy to use any of them straight. I can get a light or deep color with most of them. *Note: I may add a small amount of another color if toning is needed. Ex. Graphite must be toned with blue or purple to get a more pure black. Otherwise it will only look very very dark brown.

Prices for full dolls, one solid color start at:

Yosd/tinies: $50

Msd: $60

Sd: $75

I am no longer accepting dolls over 62cm! I have a hard time fitting them in my pot.

Parts, one color:

Hands/feet only all sizes: $20

Head only: $30

Legs/arms (including hands/feet) only: $40

Torso: $40

For fantasy dolls and parts (mermaids, centaurs, etc.) please message me as prices may vary by complexity and i need to be sure all parts will fit in my pot.

Extras:

Additional color (only 1 additional color): $10 (ex. An msd: torso, head, arms-blue, lower half-pink. This would be $70 rather than $60)

Restringing: $15 for fantasy dolls. $10 for everything else.

*if you choose restringing you must send your doll in a large enough box. If the box is not large enough (i.e. doll was sent unstrung in a smaller box but you want it returned strung) you will be charged for additional packing materials. Cost may vary and will be added to your return shipping invoice.

Body shimmer: $10 all sizes. Your doll will be covered in a resin-safe liquid sealant that has been mixed with shimmer color of your choice. All shimmers have a duochrome shift. Message me for available colors. *chipping or rubbing off of sealant will occur over time in the joint areas and may rub off with a lot of handling*

I do not offer body blushing or tattoos.

Payment is due upon my acceptance of your commission and you have read and signed the google form containing my terms and conditions. I will send a link to the form when we have agreed on your service. Failure to properly sign will result in rejection of your commision.

Customers are responsible for shipping both ways. When you ship your doll to me, please send me a picture of the receipt so i can charge the same amount on your return shipping invoice. *I highly recommend getting insurance. IF YOU DID NOT BUY INSURANCE TO SEND TO ME, I WILL NOT BUY INSURANCE TO SEND IT BACK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR UNINSURED PACKAGES. If you did purchase insurance, please tell me the amount.

Return shipping will be charged when the dye job is complete. *I will not ship your doll until the shipping has been paid*

Please send your doll to me completely blank with no sealant residue. *sealant residue will result in blotchy dye. However, if you are going for a vitiligo effect this will achieve it in most cases. The residue will dye darker and then when it gets cleaned off the resin underneath will be significantly lighter and in some cases, undyed. **Let me know if you have purposely left sealant residue. Results of this process will vary.**

Dolls will be wiped with 99% alcohol and rinsed in water prior to dye jobs.

Companies that i have experience dyeing:

The best: Dollzone, Little Monica, Migidoll, Luts (consistently very even)

Very good: Akagi Doll (not perfect but just a bit uneven)

Decent: Dream of Doll, Dividing Line/Fenjiexian, Xagadoll, Resinsoul (some unevenness)

Not great: Doll Family-A and H (very noticably uneven), Shoushou Doll (however others have had good experiences so i'm willing to try again)

Absolutely not: Loongsoul (extremely uneven. I will NOT take commissions for Loongsoul!)

Companies i do not personally have experience dyeing but others had good results:

Myou doll, Doll in Mind, Withdoll, Soom, Doll Chateau, Lillycat, Fairyland

What's this? I actually put Ellis in other clothes?? Shocking, I know. I got some clothes in a trade and suddenly wanted to dress him up cool. This is more something he would wear in Mirrorland.

A photo dumps of my fav lil creatures I saw at the Tristate doll meet! I had so much fun, saw so many pretty dolls, chatted with so many lovely people, saw old friends and met new ones, and had a great time!

[coolcatsodalite]

Gave this cheap little doll I thrifted the slightest glow up.

I removed the red line between her lips and gave her brown mouth corner dots.

Wait wait wait there's no way......is it true that Smart Doll Cinnamon is almost the same color as Volks Tan?????? Mirai is tan?????????? This is breaking my brain wtffff

Now that we definitively know that welcome committee frankie is releasing soon? I have one thing to say.

Buy them.

If you have the money? Buy them.

It doesn’t matter if you dislike frankie, dislike g3 or dislike the doll itself. I don’t even care if you immediately sell it.

It doesn’t even matter if you have no idea what a monster high is and just stumbled across this post from another corner of the internet entirely.

If you can? Buy them. Show Mattel that an explicitly lgbtqia+ playline doll is worth the trouble of making.

Show them that all the time they spent getting this thing into our hands after target refused to stock it was worth it.

It’s times like this where you vote with your wallet. Show them you want to see more like this.

Show them Frankies queerness is worth being explicit about in the doll line itself.

Make them want to do it with other queer monster high characters like cleo, clawdeen, toralei and duece!

We need this more than ever.

my first (almost) full custom!! I did a combination of hand and machine sewing, and used hot glue for her nails :3

[coolcatsodalite]

everyone look at my punk draculauraaaa shes so cool. tats are nail stickers. needs face piercings but idk which ones yet

[coolcatsodalite]

Everyone, meet Vivi!

Eventually I'll make some of her canon dresses but otherwise, she has such a good range of style based on official art. She'll be fun to dress up.

[coolcatsodalite]

I saw someone shipping these two and thought it was interesting. Since my Law is a girl, and Perona is canonically tiny, I couldn't resist. Anyway uuh something something Happy Pride?

Unedited photo and meme image under the cut. Also why is every app paywalling the friggin clone tool now?

[coolcatsodalite]

Aymeric came home! I actually got him around a week or so ago but forgot to post lol. I'm not sure why he got a more accurate outfit than Estinien, but at least Estinien's shirt finally got here as well. It's much more like something he'd wear.

Anyway glad they're together now!

[coolcatsodalite]

She's so fun to dress up.

I want to dress up Law more too but i don't have as many clothes her size..

[coolcatsodalite]

Happy Birthday Perona part 2!
