Nappy Choo discussion

My Nappy Choo and Dalang are shipping, too! I hope it does not take too long. Mail has been slow lately because of Covid-19.

 

I had things shipped with China EMS take a really long time but Korea EMS was still quick the last time I had a doll ship from there, that was back in December though. This will be my first doll in awhile so I hope it won’t take too long.

 

My Nappy Choo tracks as being in Seoul P.O. I've always had fairly quick arrivals from Neo-angel Region, so I don't expect it will take too long.

 

It will depend on the route the package takes. It will probably leave Korea promptly but if it needs several stops on the way, it may take longer.

 

Dalang is out for delivery, let’s see how my carrier handles it this time…they like me to chase my express parcels down . She was shipped four days ago.

 

My doll is stuck in Chicago customs which makes me very nervous since an incoming doll was lost there two years ago.
Once it's on the move I should get it the next day as I'm only one state up.

 

@phanuel, I hope it works out better this time. I have only had something go through Chicago customs once and I got lucky even though I typically have bad luck. Usually the things I order go through New York and I rarely have issues there.

My carrier delivered Dalang and I’m in love, so cute .. I need to think of a name for her and get pictures soon.

 

My Nappy Choo and Dalang are stuck somewhere in Munich. The shipping from Korea worked faster before Covid-19 when Finnair had direct flights between Seoul and Helsinki. Now EMS packages go through Middle Europe and seem to be stuck somewhere for days before they are put on the next flight.

 

@NineOneThree ,Yay! Congrats. I'll look forward to seeing pics. Picking the name is fun, I think. Although sometimes I find too many and it's hard to choose among them.

@spih , let's hope we get our dolls soon. This is the most difficult part of the wait, when they are at the mercy of carriers and customs officials. Yikes.

 

I’m still waiting on some accessories and I’ll probably make her a cuter blanket and a couple other simple props. I’m also thinking of adding upper lashes, I have some tiny ones. I am deciding on a name since the sculpt name doesn’t suit her but I had time for a pic this morning.

 

@NineOneThree , she's great, gorgeous photo! I got my doll today, love the chubby body.

@phanuel, I love the little chubby baby doll look too!

 

Awwww.... These babies are just too cute! I hope mine will be home soon! At least they are no longer in Munich and I paid taxes and custom fees yesterday, so they may arrive today or tomorrow (I hope).

 

My babies are finally here! Meet Nuppu (flower bud) and Nappi (button).

Though I have a large selection of spare eyes, I had some trouble finding something that fit. There is not much room inside their heads, so some eyes that looked good prevented the face plate from closing properly because the s-hook got into the way.

Now I must start making clothes for them. For now they just borrowed panties from my Lati Yellows.

 

@spih, just saw these two on flickr, love them.
There are some clothes available on Etsy made specifically for Nappy Choo, but they are mostly strictly baby clothes, like onesies. I would like to see more toddler clothing.
I'm going to see if any of my Lati Yellow/Secretdoll Mong pieces will work. I think the main problem may be getting sleeves and pants over those big feet and hands.
I look forward to seeing what you will make for yours.

 

I've found that some of my 1/8 or "Lati Yellow"-size clothing does fit. Shorts and sleeveless or short-sleeved shirts with arm and leg openings that aren't too narrow. Now Gunvald can look like a toddler as well as an infant.

Very nice! I must try if some of my Lati Yellow clothes fit my babies, too! I tried a cardigan, but it looked too big.

 

Yesss! Some Lati Yellow clothes fit! The dresses look too long, but I can easily make a shorter one using the same pattern. Lati hats are way too big, though, but I found that hats made for a vintage 6 inch Rosebud Thumbsucking Baby do fit. So Nappi and Nuppu have somthing to wear while waiting for me to have time to make something just for them.

I think the longer dress works, it looks like a baby gown and I love your little pink bonnet on nappy choo.

I found pacifiers that fit.

 

@NineOneThree , fits perfectly, nice photo! Love all the pink.
