Secretdoll - Picture Doll Person - discussion part 5

That's helpful and will get me on the search for something cute...that they/I don't need. I just went to a doll show and they had cars for sale, and that got me wanting one.
[MENTION=399]Astro[/MENTION]nik such a cute pic. She looks ready to get some work done with that wubba chicken.
[MENTION=20126]happibug[/MENTION] thanks for posting that. I'd like to pick up a few. Why does shipping have to be so pricey though...
[MENTION=20691]Cattwo[/MENTION] everything about them is perfect! Hair, outfits, shoes...those adorable little faces.

 

Thank you, icicle! Those rompers are vintage ones I found on Rubylane about a year ago. I have no idea what doll they were originally made for, but I took a chance on them and was so happy when they fit the Person dolls.

Thank you, aernath! That sandbox was part of an auction lot that I got a couple of years ago. It came with a Little Tikes car, swimming pool, slide, sandbox, picnic table and a few other things. These are from the Little Tikes dollhouse, which is a much larger scale than the usual 1:12. I knew the car was close in scale with Persons because I've seen others' pics of them using it, but I've been a bit slow with taking pics using most of these pieces. I'll try to include more in the future.

Those sandals I found on Etsy - check out dollb's shop for Lati Yellow size. They fit well and come in other colors, too. I may be buying a few more pairs, too - now that I have five Persons to shoe.

Thank you for the nice comment, kcoconuts! Really appreciate it and my Persons do, too!!

 

That is such a cute photo Cattwo, the girls look super sweet in their swimsuits and sandals and their great turtle sandbox! Perfect scale for them too.
I love their wigs, they make them even more pretty than they already are, and the colour is lovely and suits them so well. I will definitely have to keep this colour in mind for the future Thanks very much for sharing.​

 

Awesome! Found them! So many good shoessssss! My boys will be so excited... when I can get them a couple pair. Soon!
Thank you! ^____^

 

Payday is not coming soon enough! I really need to stop looking at this thread. Its nothing but cute sass all day, all the time. I'm gonna check out dolb for those shoes and do a little recon. So curious about their next limited release...what theme do you think they'll pick next?

 

Thank you very much for your nice comments, dambuster01! Much appreciated!

Glad you found them, aernath! They have a lot of nice shoes. Their shipping can get high, if you order several - probably pays to contact them and ask if they'll reduce it for combined shipping.

Lol! Yes, this can be a dangerous thread in that regard, mdonline03! Not sure what Secretdoll will offer next, but I bet they'll be as cute as previous releases.

 

The website was updated with NEW Big Eyes Basic and according to facebook, they'll be adding other updated people next week!!

It may have actually worked out that I had to hold off on big eyes 4. I still have to pay off another layaway first, but I will plan on a boy big eyes purchase next.

 

I just saw the photos on flikr! Yay! for new People! Go, [MENTION=67121]kcoconuts[/MENTION], go!

I was looking at that dolb on etsy, and found the link to their website where their shoe prices are cheaper, but I hadn't gotten deep enough into it to see if the shipping is cheaper as well. Plus, it seems the shoes in etsy are in stock, and the ones on the website are pre-order. But, there are more choices on the website.

 

It says that the new basics have ears!
But I noticed that they no longer seem to come with a wig.....or has that been the case for a while now?
I do think the basic makeup looks very pretty.

 

No wig, I didn't even notice that. That's kind of a bummer. Hopefully, they will keep the wigs stocked well.
[MENTION=9171]aernath[/MENTION] Do you have a link to the flickr group that they were posted in?

 

Secretdoll's flickr is here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/122585006@N06/


I've got a query on the Q&A to ask about cheaper shipping options for the new clothes -- hopefully they'll allow something other than EMS!

 

I can't believe I forgot they had their own website! Sorry about that! I actually ordered from them directly before, but for shoes for another doll, so I guess that's why it didn't click in. My first order for the sandals went through Etsy, but I ordered a couple of pairs of the canvas shoes for my Wins Toribir (bird doll) and I ordered them directly because they didn't have one of the colors I wanted in stock on Etsy. I just checked my records and it took 16 days to receive my direct order. When I ordered through Etsy it actually took 20 days - go figure! Anyway, I just placed an order for 6 pairs on their website (some more sandals and some of those buckle shoes) and will let you know when they arrive. And yes, the shipping is lower on their website - $12 for 6 pairs as opposed to $22 through Etsy, plus the prices are better on their website, as you pointed out aernath.

The new basics are adorable! Really like the expression on the 08.

 

[MENTION=59239]icicle[/MENTION] thanks for the link.
I had wondered about shipping as well. I added 2 wigs to my cart and shipping was quite expensive.

 

Ooooh this is the prettiest basic makeup yet. I don't feel so badly about missing the big 21 now. And ears?! Whoa I'm curious about when they add the other heads; my narrow 21 cat definitely still did not have ears.

(edit0: I checked and the bigeyes 21 and 4 Summer definitely had ears as well.)

 

Yay for ears!!! I was surprised when my 21 came in without. I hadn't realized they were a new thing. ^_^ My 17 has them, and I got him first.

Sorry! Yes, that's the link for flikr.
Our internet has been out the past couple of days. We had to re-wire from the house to the north east corner of the property today, to get it back. *whew*


Edit: Oh, and I got the wrong size of Hallmark ornament car. But hey, it's a cute Mustang for the Christmas tree this year! lol

 

Oh no! I hope I didn't steer (heh) you wrong on the size!


Got an answer from Secretdoll on shipping clothes and wigs:

I am sorry for the late response.
You must prefer new costume among our product.
As you concerned that only a costume ordering would be burden for shipping fee.

We are sorry about that.
Basically we only use a shipping company,EMS, as a guarantee of safety and stability about parcel losing.
If you know and want another shipping company in chipper or safer plz let us know.

We will follow your prefer way to ship your ordering.
So then wait for your response.

Thank you for your sincere love to us.


So, if you ask nicely and tell them what shipping method you'd like to use, they're willing to help reduce shipping costs.
Is it called "Registered Air Mail" in South Korea for cheaper, trackable international shipping, does anyone know?

 

[MENTION=59239]icicle[/MENTION]...there is a small airmail packet...I have shopped with TTYA lots and they charge 5-6$ it just takes awhile....usually about 10 days & once up to three weeks ( but I blame NY customs for that delay).
Their site lists it as 'International Registed Mail'. Maybe SecretDoll would agree to that?
Hope that helps!

Loving all the pics!
Maybe I will see my 21 in a month!

Just editing to add a big thanks for the Flickr link...the makeup on the new big eye basics is wonderful.
I am drawn to the 4 ... What a great face!

 

Formydoll is based in Korea and they offer a choice between EMS and "Registered Airmail". I have used the latter and it is much cheaper.

 

Thanks Jaybird & latedate_kate -- I thought it was called something like that. For those wanting accessories only, it would be a huge savings in shipping.

Hey Jay -- any news yet on your basic??

 

Yes! She came last week! But I have been very bad with new dolls lately, so she has been handed over to my husband to give her back to me as a Christmas present. She is awesome! Poses great, and she came with a black wig (was really hoping for black or red so I'm a happy camper). I am really glad I ordered her when I did, because even though the big eye 21s are really cute too, I would have been sad to miss out on a regular 21.
