5StarDoll Minis discussion part 1

I wish our Claires at our local mall had anything remotely useable for shoes..they don't even carry mini flip-flops on keychains..so I am going to experiment with leather and ribbons until I get a pattern that works...don't worry will post when done.
These were a pair of soft mocasine style boots that I created a pattern for my book, they were really easily made.

 

Does anyone have a Lydia or know where I can see owner photos of one? I can't seem to find any on Flickr

 

I was only able to find just this one in the owner pics on mint on card:

Anyone else surprised that they didn't release something new for Halloween?

 

Thanks Pinkeed! I had found one on the 5Star site too, I think, but I guess she's not that popular of a sculpt. I'd really like to see her in the non-environmental resin, but I guess that's just a wish right now XD

And I would've liked them to do something for Halloween, but maybe it's just too close to their last event and releases right now? :/

 

Hello, thread!

My first doll is the Elva sculpt from 5StarDoll in Normal translucent skin. She wears a 6/7 wig, its pretty snug, but it stays on by itself very well. Here's a pic from the MintOnCard Owner Gallery.

Has anyone found a brand who's resin that somewhat matches this? I know its hard because of the UV resin and the translucent part makes it impossible, but anything close?... I also wish I could find more heads for sale from 5stardoll! XO

 

Hi knightjeran! Congrats on you doll. She's very pretty. I'm sorry I can't help you find resin matches because I bought mine before they switched to uv. This is off topic but is you user name a neopets referance by any chance?

 

Felicity, you're the first person who's gotten it that didn't know me personally. I haven't been on Neopets since the Battle for Meridell plot ended, but I had an intense love for Jeran and knights and chivalry, and the name stuck ever since!

I wish more companies used UV resin, I think its absolutely dazzling how it glows... plus I'd have more variety of heads and hands.

 

Is anyone else having trouble with the 5Star site today? I keep getting an error about the page either timing out or not being able to connect to the database :/

 

Mighella - I don't seem to have this problem. did you try using a different browser?

 

I tried using a different computer, but both with Firefox. Seems to work okay on Chrome though! Weird I normally don't have troubles with it and Firefox. Thanks

Right now I'm kind of torn between getting a gray Lydia on the B type body and an MNF Karsh. The price makes Lydia so very tempting to get first though!

Do those of you with B-body girls have any trouble getting them to fit into clothes made for other slim minis like MNF, Narae and Unoa? I know the measurements are really close to MNF, but having doll and clothes in hand is different than straight up numbers

 

I received my first 5StarDoll last week, a tanned Emma. She's so pretty, I just love her. She came with a purple wig, which I'm not too crazy about, so I'm off to order her some stuff to make her perfect. I also need to do her faceup this weekend. I'll be sure to post pics when she's all ready.

 

Congrats on the new doll!

And I'd love to see her face-up when it's done.

 

@Pinkeed: Thanks! The face-up is going slowly; I'm such a perfectionist I keep taking it off when I don't like something. But hopefully it will be done this weekend.

I have a quick question regarding Leekeworld wigs..I know Emma usually takes a 6/7 wig, but there's a 6/6.5 wig on Leekeworld. Would that fit, or be a bit too snug?

 

@Kraftykitty09 It would be too snug. Their head is closer to 7 inches than 6 inches.

 

Ahh, ok. Thanks for the clarification! Guess I'll scrap that idea for now. She'll just have to stick with her purple wig until I find the one I want.

 

Hi all. I'm pretty new here on DoA, and I'm getting my 2nd bjd.....she's a 5Star Chu (I had been eyeballing her on DDE site for awhile, and after looking at 5Star's pictures, I just couldn't resist that timid face). She should be here in a few days, since I bought her from DDE in-stock. Despite this short wait, I'm still impatient. xDDD

 

Hi! I have a 5star Emma and Allen coming. Ashame they discontinued Allen but I think he's beautiful and adorable. However I saw that mighella asked about the 5star Lydia. Does anyone else notice how she looked exactly like Allen? I mean to me it looks as if they have the exact same head and face-up, except Lydia's lips are glossy and she has pink eyeshadow. I don't know maybe it's just me...but it struck me as being rather interesting.

 

My Emma was in-stock from DDE, too. It took about five days for her to be delivered, but I totally understand the impatience, even though it was less than a week! I think it's different when you're waiting for the shipping date. When I ordered my second doll, it took almost five months for DDE to let me know they were shipping her out. It was easier to count down the weeks, but once I knew she was on her way, every day seemed to drag on forever! I felt the same impatience when I got the email stating Emma had been shipped, even though I had just bought her!

 

Here's my 5Star Emma, who I named Raven. This is from her first day home. She's still so pretty even without a faceup.



Sorry for the poor lighting! You'll get a proper photo shoot, Raven. I promise!

 

Wow Raven is so pretty. I love their tan skin. It's making me want to buy another.
