I can't believe I totally missed out on this thread! I got inspired to do a search last night after my little one arrived. Just finished reading through the thread. So many cute little skeletons! I love what everyone's done so far. And wow, NY_Kitty, that is an amazing GID picture! I could only manage a vague, greenish blur when I tried to photograph mine. XD My little Zhivka (glow-in-the-dark Sing) arrived home yesterday, and I'm totally smitten.
Ah, yes, the fangs are so incredibly cute! *-* I have to admit, I didn't really take much notice of them in the company images, so they were a pleasant surprise when I got her home!
Those fangs are so cute!! I did not realize them when I first saw the promotion pictures. Zhivka is so adorable with her fangs and the eyes you choose
anybody else having a problem with the clavicle wanting to fall off all the time? I am thinking of putting a little putty in the back holes.
NY_Kitty, aernath, Sadomina - Thank you! I had such trouble picking eyes for her, because she looked adorable in everything I tried. X3 I ended up picking these because I felt like they were the right balance of cute and spooky, but I think she'd look good in anything! I noticed some folks said earlier in the thread that they had trouble getting eyes into the eye wells. I'm not sure if I just got lucky, or if they fixed the issue, but I had no trouble getting 14mm glass & Mako urethane round eyes in. Stella Maris - Oh goodness, yes. Every so often, if I push the scapula-nubs in really deep, they'll stay put for a while, but most of the time they're popping all over. I was thinking of trying a bit of eye putty, but after what DeadLegato just said, I guess I might try gluing them after I get her blushed.
Not too much trouble here. I think one of the first things I did was pop those out to see what the pegs were for. Seems to make more sense to me to let them move freely - like a real body, so I think if they bug me too much, I might go the route of sanding the pegs off. I have to admit, I'm having far too much fun with this little guy. I already made him one shirt, and have a second one cut out... Pants? Who needs pants? lol And wigs! I tried a few, but I think I like him best bald. What are you guys finding out?
I'm loving the fantastic pics guys! My poor Glowy Pum is stuck in Customs. I'm awaiting the ransom letter as we speak. Anyone want to send their skellies on a rescue mission?
You know, I did think about the glue... no clothes or wig here yet, I don't even have eyes that fit right really. Or let's just say I haven't attempted to find them yet. aww, poor lil Pum...
I was in a bit of a hurry last time I posted so I will elaborate: I put some eye putty in, but the end result was just that I then couldn't push the nubs in deep enough to stay due to the putty. So the putty squished out everywhere and made the situation worse rather than better. And I would send my skeleton to customs to rescue yours, but currently, my GID skeleton is being held hostage at work because I've been too sick to go into work to get him. And my non-glowing skeleton girl? Well let's just say she's grounded after the noodle incident.
Mwah ha ha ha nice one Ossy! Noodle incident DeadLegato? This I have to hear! Did anyone get a fullset GITD? I'm curious as to what wigs and eyes came with them as mine's a fullset and I'm pretty sure it said 'radom wig and eyes' on the site.
Yup, full set says 16mm eyes and random wig. What did you get? Yeah, I'm wondering about the noodle incident as well!
Noodle Incident: Calvin and Hobbes reference LOL. :P I'd also like to see what people are getting for random eyes/wigs!
