Mystic Kids 1/6 discussion

She is adorable! I love how you have her dressed and posed. These little cuties really steal your heart with their sweet faces!

 

I do have a funny story about their "mitten hands." I had knitted a little fingerless muffler for her and got half way through the second one before realizing that.... her thumb was molded to her hand on the other side and she would probably pop a thumb-hole-less muffler off her hand if I bothered making one.

 

Blue_wysteria, your Charlie is adorable? I love her outfits!

(And, I agree, they are good little posers!)

 

I took Ben (Cavell) outdoors for the first time today. Actually it was my first time taking photos outdoors, so it was an adventure for both of us. Here he is perched in the notch of a tree feeling like he is on top of the world.

What a cutie he is, Rosehollow!

He looks like quite the explorer in the middle of that tree.

 

Sorry for the late response blue_wisteria! How's your darling little Charlie doing?

Yeah, those little "mitten hands" are a bit of an issue. (Okay, l gotta be honest, I hate the mitten hands!) But, sewing actual mittens for their mitten-hands would probably be exercise in futility since the little buggers don't have separated fingers. But, still, the sculpts are so cute they sort of make up for it.

 

Anyone have an idea for the current wait time is for MK? I'm heavily considering ordering a Cris with my next paycheck as a twin to my Vanetta.

 

Don't know if this is any help, but I ordered my Ben(Cavell) on July 25, 2020 and he was shipped October 15, 2020.
Cris looks like a real cutie, I hope you decide to get her

 

Thank you so much! I just love this little guy. You'll probably see him on more "adventures" in the future

 

This thread is pretty old but I hope it's ok to still post here?

I finally have an outfit for my Nelly that I like so I'm confident to show her here
Only the eyes need to be switched I guess

Love her sweet dress. She is very cute.

 

She looks so sweet, like she just stepped out of a fairy tale

 

Hikari-chanXx, your Nelly looks adorable! Her new dress is perfect!

Thanks for sharing!

 

Thank you all!

If someone else owns Nelly or any other Mystic Kids Tinies please show me

Oh and anyone else having the issue that the hands won't "turn"? I try to turn them for some posing and they just go back to how they are in the Pic

 

Here is my Ben (Cavell) again, this time with his big brother.

You are very welcome, Hikari-chanXx!

I have a Nelly (Cordelia). I think the Nelly sculpt is so pretty.



….“Oh and anyone else having the issue that the hands won't "turn"?”….

OMG! Don’t get get me started on the hands! Sorry… a few pages/years back I went on a rant about the hands, but that was some time ago. Do the Mystic Kids still have “mitten” hands?

Rosehollow, what a sweet picture! Beautifully photographed.

Your Cavell is darling. Looks like big brother is really watching over him.

What sculpt is his big brother? (Love the dog, too!)

 

I'm not sure about "mitten" hands? This is the best Pic of her hands I have right now (there was some bluetac on it when I got her, I've removed it since the Pic ofc)
But she's older, I'm at least the 2nd owner, she's also very yellowed, kinda butter colored now

I've already tried looking for new hands since the palm won't let itself be moved into another position but the colormatching to her yellowing and her wrist having a very specific size makes it difficult
For moving the hands I mean... "standard" her palm is facing her body, if I wanna make her wave and have the palm face outwards... It just "snaps" back to facing her body, it won't stay turned outwards

 

Hi Hikari-chanXx, I’m so sorry the hands on your doll are having issues.

Yes, from your photo, it does look like the old mitten hands, where the fingers are molded with hardly any space/separation between the fingers. (Actually, it’s the other hand that is worse.) Like you, I also found the hands hard to pose. Because of these issues, and the fact that I’m OCD about doll hands, I got my dolls new hands. I was lucky; there were doll companies around at the time that sold hands for tinies. Unfortunately, both of those companies are defunct now: Doll Love, and Doll Legend.

I wish I could be more help; It's been a long time since I needed hands for a tiny. The Legend Doll site has a category for hands and feet from different companies. I see DollFamily-H sells hands for 1/6 dolls. DF-H has a normal yellow resin that might match the aged resin of your doll. It might be worth a shot to take a look. Good luck in your research!

Thank you, I will check out DF-H! I was at a friend's recently and we checked with some of her tiny hands but had no match... The issue wasn't even really the color but the size of the wrist and S-hook
Tbh I'm not sure if other hands would make moving them better since I figure that's an issue with her stringing maybe? But it might be worth to try out if the hands aren't too expensive

 

Thanks so much, Rabbit-Moon, for your lovely comments! Your Nelly is very pretty with those beautiful big eyes

Ben's big brother Dylan is an Iplehouse KID boy Peach. Ben's sad little face called out for a big brother to look after him, and Dylan seemed perfect for the role.

Ben doesn't have "mitten" hands, although they are a bit on the "chubby" side.
