MYou tinies discussion - Part 2

Finished my Alan's (first) new wig ^^



I love him so much, I had no idea I could get so attached to a doll I haven't even gotten around painting yet

 

Cian, my Alan, has a new chair and ottoman, along with a book and table. I had fun making this for him and the other little guys.

Omg @SteamWitch what an amazing set!!! I love the table, what an amazing way to use beads!!!

 

Gave my Alan a faceup and made him another wig, he somehow turned into a merman somewhere along the line. :3

An adorable merman too. Well done!

 

I like his faceup and his new look!

 

I think Alan has such a beautiful face, and you did the perfect faceup to bring that out.

 

@Kateryu any pix of your Marmalade yet? I'd love to see her!

 

Does anybody know if Barbie wigs would fit the 27cm dolls? I’m away from home for a few days and can’t compare head sizes and I have scoured the internet looking for Barbie’s head size but have found NOTHING.

 

I will get my mature tiny from the USA Postal Service sometime next week (it's been in transit from China since the 10th), I own one barbie sized wig (4" Monique I believe, it's quite old so I forget the brand). So, if you haven't found out by then, I can certainly post about its fit on my Myou if you are still looking to find out by that time and no one else has answered it yet. (:

 

So I'm finally home and I eyeballed the heads of 27cm Gina and a Barbie extra and they both seem pretty dang close in size so I ordered a wig for Barbie from Etsy. I'll report back on the fit!

 

Good luck! My mature Myou tiny is still not here yet, but I am hoping he'll be here by Wednesday. I haven't measured a Barbie head in decades, but if they are all still around the same size as the older ones, their head should be 4" in circumference -- which is how doll wigs are sized (I misplaced my measuring tape and don't normally unbox fashion dolls). I will still try my old Barbie wig on my mature tiny, just for kicks as his hair will definitely not be the color of wig I own, but it will be similar in length. I don't mind making tiny wigs myself, but if I can find an already made Barbie sized one in the style and color that works, then I'll be glad to pay for one readymade. DX Hope yours works for your Myou tiny! (:

 

I hate double posting, but I finally picked up my Bettina from my local PO, and I have to say that my Barbie sized wig doesn't fit. I know I purchased it from an eBay seller and it was listed as Barbie sized, but I don't know the exact measurement they listed it as -- when I measured it is 3", with little to no stretch at all. If I measured my Bettina's head correctly, the circumference is closer to 4 1/4", so a wig sized 4-5" will probably work better. I don't own any other Barbie sized wigs, so I don't know how big they tend to be, but mine is certainly not going to stretch to 4". Having said that, a line of hot glue might help keep the wig in place, because it is a stretchy cap wig, but I don't intend to use the wig on my Bettina, so I didn't try doing that. I hope that helps, and helps others thinking of using Barbie sized wigs on their mature MYou tinies. (:

Lol! It just pops right off. DX

 

Not yet! I got my Myou Ling Wei, but my Gina is still on her way. I've been having a blast stocking her wardrobe, though!

 

You nailed that faceup! Lovely

 

I can't remember if I ever shared my little lady! 17cm Nuannuan. I got her from FabricFriends awhile back.
Wig from Leekeworld, outfit from KamiliaCrafts on etsy. It's meant for pukifee/lati yellow but it fits her pretty well but a little short!
I've had my eye on some shoes from DenverDoll that I think would fit but I don't mind her being barefoot for now.
I don't mind the eyes she came with but I'm thinking I'd like to switch them out with something a bit darker than her hair. I like to match eyes to hair sometimes.

Was wondering if anyone has found a doll stand that works well for the mature tinies? I think my girl needs a bit of stability to stand up long enough for me to get the photos I want and was browsing stands and don't know if one made for barbie will work or not. Anyone have success with a doll stand from Amazon or elsewhere?

 

I use the barbie sized kaiser stands:

 

@jenlovesdolls thank you so much! Also omg, she's so cute! Can I please ask where you got her sneakers?! They are so heckin adorable!

 

They are 1/6 scale action figure shoes I got on ebay. I got these specific ones from worldshopgoco for $18.99 + $1.99 shipping to the USA from Hong Kong, and they arrived pretty quickly.
