MYou tinies discussion - Part 2

Thanks to the suggestion of @jenlovesdolls I ordered some Marley Wentworth shoes from 2debsadorables for my Vieruodis and they just arrived! I'm so happy to have shoes for my girl now! I ordered a pair of sandals, a pair of flats, and 2 pairs of boots. All fit!

The sandals I think fit the absolute best. The boots fit great but she sadly can't stand in them. Something about the way they are made has the foot kinda tilting a little so she'll need to sit while wearing those until I get a stand for her.

 

I just bought a ton of sandals and flats from her. Previously I only had black and white of each type. It is very nice to have shoes that fit, and they are not super expensive either!

I am not keen on the boots, they look ok from the front but from the side they look a bit odd, and I think that shape is why you are having issues with her standing in them possibly.

 

Yeah, off to order some sandals. Thanks for following through with the update on fit. I really appreciate it.

 

Sharing a picture I took tonight of my girl, Kerity, in her new sandals!

 

I love her!! Now I am wishing I got my Vieruodis in tan instead of coffee! Where did you get her wig? I have Atelier Momoni's Pitusas, which are pretty much the same measurments in a lot of areas but the heads on the Myou are a bit smaller so I think wigs might be my only issue. I have found that these small sizes a lot of company wigs I have tried look so bulky so I buy custom ones made for Popovy or Tender Creation as the fit is fine for my girls, but not sure how it will be for the Myou dolls.

Edited to add: I do not know how I missed these dolls on Junky Spot I could have had my doll already as what I wanted is in stock. I ordered coffee Vieruodis from Alice Collections but after seeing several in tan I thought maybe I should have gotten tan...so I bought tan from Junky Spot. I guess I will either keep both or pick which skin tone I like best and sell the other, unless I can cancel the order with Alice Collections. I will shoot them an email but I think it may be too late.

 

I received my Alan today and oh gosh how small he is! I had imagined he'd be tiny but somehow he's even smaller than what I imagined and so cute

Anyway, as I was toying with him his elastic accidentally slipped from the s-hook and he fell apart. Not a big deal, I know how to put him back together but thought that actually since he's already in pieces I'll give him a bath and restring him since he was bit too floppy for my taste, only I'm not sure what size I should get for him? Does anyone know? The ones in him seem to be about 1mm - 2mm, maybe 1.5mm? I don't have good enough ruler to be sure I'll take the string with me to store to compare what's the closest one tomorrow but figured that asking here first in case someone already knows better won't hurt ^_^

 

I love the tan but I will say it is hard to photograph! To be fair my background color choice probably didn't help any but I wanted it to be a little but Valentine's day-y. I also don't know if it is just my girl, or the tan resin, or just bad luck, but the sealant on her faceup is a mess! She arrived to me with a white cast over parts of her face. Kinda like what you get when you clean off a faceup and miss a little sealant. It looks awful and ruins her faceup in my opinion. You can't tell from a distance but zooming in for face pictures it becomes really clear and just looks terrible. So, because of that I don't think I would order tan from myou again if I was getting a default faceup. I'm probably going to have to send her out to someone to be redone soon because I can't deal with the white cast haha.

Her wig is one that I commissioned from foxyboxesbjdstore on instagram! They don't currently have any myou dolls they can make wigs for but they also ordered one from Alice's Collections so I expect they will be selling wigs for the size once their Vieruodis arrives to them.

Here is a picture where you can see the white mess on her faceup:

 

Oh wow, I would have thought it was shimmer or something if you hadn't mentioned it. I will post when mine arrives and let you know if mine is the same. One of the things I was iffy about with her is the lower lashes, they seem to be quite a bit below the lash line, which I feel the darker resin tone makes it less obvious.
I did email Alice Collections and I could cancel but would only get back $150 of the $215 so I opted not to cancel the order.

 

They are painted pretty low but that doesn't bother me too much. It just felt like a stylistic choice to me. I think I would have kept her faceup longer if it wasn't for the white cast. As it stands though I think I'm going to be trying to get a slot with Komorebi Dolls for her next month when she opens up. Sad since it means she only had this faceup for the few months since she arrived.

 

You don't have to replace the elastic, just tighten it, unless the elastic itself is already worn. I haven't received my boy yet (probably won't until sometime in Apri, I'm guessing), so I can't help you with elastic sizes. However, you don't have to replace it, unless it is actually no longer able to hold the tension you need to hold any poses. I had most of my dolls for longer than fifteen years, and I never needed to replace any of their elastics until just a few years ago (which I still haven't done, due to me being a bit of a nut job). Most of mine are larger however, so maybe that also helped in addition to me not playing with them often and leaving them in their boxes all the time. Regardless, elastic doesn't need to be replaced jsut because the doll feels loose, you can always just try tighting it, and if that doesn't work, then you can certainly replace it. Hope that helps, and good luck learning which size string you need, in case you do need to replace yours. (:

 

Thanks for the reply, to me the elastic feels kind of loose but it's also a lot thinner than the ones I'm used to so maybe I just don't understand how it should feel. I'll buy new one just in case + I want to change it to be two separate strings for the legs, I don't like them being strung together.

Edit: one elastic hunt later, I think it's 2mm, 1.5mm is way too thin. 2mm looks bit thicker than what my boy has (maybe it has stretched?) but since there's not like 1.8-1.9mm available it's what I'm going to use. I'll try putting him back together later tonight so we'll see then.

 

Ordered 3 pairs of Marley Wentworth shoes. So excited to have shoes other than plastic Ken shoes!
Thanks for posting the picture of your doll wearing them, it was super helpful.

 

Alright so after some hot glue sueding and new strings Alan's no longer like a wet noodle and can actually hold different poses without folding over one way or another. Evening well spent on doll maintenance I'd say

 

So glad your Alan is in one piece again. The hot glue sueding really helped my Bettina. I like the blue fur wig.

 

Thank you! ^^ the wig was included by his previous owner and since it's the only one small enough for him I didn't exactly have a lot of choices (it was either this wig or bald head) but I actually really like the blue on him and chances are that when I'll make him a new wig it might turn out to be blue too, or maybe I'll just give him blue streak(s) or something. He's so small that making wigs for him will only take couple hours (+how long ever the glue takes to dry) so I kind of foresee making multiple

 

Heya fam! I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one who got slapped in the face by the MYou love. Why is everything they touch so gorgeous?? Ain't right, I'm telling y'all.

Anyway, I'm eyeballing Feng Linger, but my last adventure with a tiny was... not awesome. We didn't bond? (Which is why @Mamo has a DouDou now, ha!) I would love to see more owner pics of the 17cm (specifically Feng Linger) from the com if y'all have them! Esp in comparison to your bigger dolls! Esp esp your like... BIGGER dolls. I, uh, may have a knack for picking up them 70cm boys. 0w0;

@Raquel Nicodemo's forest spirit on page 3 was precious, but even a forum search didn't seem to turn anyone else up w FL?? Halp if can? Show pretties if has?

 

My Vieruodis arrived today and WOW I love her! I still have the coffee one coming from Alice Collections, she also has the small bust. I don't mind the big bust, she fits in Barbie stuff better than my Atelier Momoni girls because of the bust size so it works out
I have to say I was worried about the lower lashes because on the pale doll in the stock photos they look to be very long and lower than the lash line, but in person I don't see that at all. I was also worried the tan might be too orangey but it is a very nice shade! I can't wait for my coffee girl to arrive. I am debating on getting Gina now too hahaha
Also, shout out to The Junky Spot for fast shipping! I got her in 4 days! I have never ordered from them before, but I will surely buy from them in the future!
I named her Valentine (Val for short) for obvious reasons

Here is her arrival under the spoilers!

Spoiler

I love the carry case!


Oh boy, a bit of a wardrobe malfunction going on here EEK


She is pretty disappointed I showed you the last photo...oops


All dressed and can relax now.


I am happy with my pretty girl!


Look how shimmery her faceup is, I can't get over how gorgeous she is!

 

Congrats, she is lovely. Gotta love that fast shipping and instant gratification. I love her gold ballet flats and her resin is awesome.

 

@jenlovesdolls congrats on her arrival! I'm so glad you are a fan of the tan resin and that you aren't bothered by the lashes! Her lashes actually don't look like they were painted as far down under her lids as mine were which is lucky. They look much better!

 

Thank you...and YES, instant gratification is my favorite LOL

I think I got lucky because I have blown the picture up of her face and they are on the lash line, but all the other photos of her I have seen they look to be below it! I am very happy with her I am going to be stalking Junky Spot for Gina in the skin tone I want!
