5StarDoll Tinies Discussion Part 4

Yes, mollym, Meng Meng is very cute! And, new dolls are always a plus. Actually, I'm sort of tempted to order her as my TongTong's little sister. Size-wise she would be perfect since TongTong is 30cm and Meng Meng is 27cm.

I also appreciate that 5Star put up the memory page for their old discontinued sculpts. That was really nice. I wish all companies would do that. The way things are with most companies, once a sculpt is discontinued, they delete all photos and history and it's as if the doll never existed. I think that is terrible!

(I have to admit, I am a little sad that all the old 30cm dolls are gone. Jadite and Aiden were such unique dolls.)

 

Love hearing about all your plans, Mollym. A vacation sounds so nice. I haven't been anywhere since the pandemic started. T_T I have pre-existing medical conditions, so I've had to be careful.

I don't know why, but for some reason I thought you already had a Bat Boy. *My bad* I wish you luck finding him on the secondary market, after your vacation.

You mentioned a wall-mounted shelf; since I've been stuck at home, Ive been plotting to put up wall-mounted shelves, too. My doll room is a mess! But, I can't decide between shelves, glass cabinets, or just bookcases.

Hi CandyKane! Welcome to the thread, and welcome back to the hobby!

I have a Bat Boy, too. He's has a wonderfully expressive face.

Would love to see a photo of him when you get the chance.

 

LOL! Hey Stellarphenomena! Thanks for the shout-out!

And thanks for posting the pix! Your dolls look so adorable! I love their outfits! But, I gotta admit, I love that red-on-red outfit on your Amy. The beanie and red leather jacket are everything!

Looking at the 5Star on-line store, I'm happy to see that Amy is still being offered.

 

Hi ParlourGoddess! Welcome to the thread!

Oh Squee! Your kids are adorable!!! They both have lovely face-ups. Are those the company face-ups?

It's so great to see these sculpts again. (Especially Rex; he's an oldie but a goodie!) Thanks for sharing!

 

Ahalfling, that sounds like fun!

Looking forward to seeing them!

 

Sorry ahalfling, wish I could be of help. I'm not familiar enough with those characters to suggest any dolls. And, it doesn't look like there are any 5Star tinies for sale in the Marketplace. (I just looked.)

The only YOSD-sized boy on the 5Star site is Peter. Sadly, not much of a selection.

This is such sad news! I can’t believe they are gone. My favorite tinies are 5Star dolls.

Another beloved doll company is gone. This just breaks my heart.

(Edited because ParlourGoddess’ thread was moved from News to General Discussion thread, and I fixed the link.)

 

Hey, Pepperonipizza. I totally agree with you. This is such sad news. I’ve always been a huge fan of their dolls. And, I also would have bought more of their dolls. But, it had been a while since they put out any new sculpts.

I wonder what happened? It was probably COVID. From things I’ve read, the pandemic reared it ugly head again in China and there have been a lot of issues and delays. 5Star wasn’t a big company, maybe the pandemic was too much for them.

5Star will be sorely missed by the people who loved their dolls. We can only hope they will come back again.

To the memory of 5Star, here is a photo of my Maggie. Such a lovely doll.
