What’s the weirdest accessory you’ve looked for?!

I love searching for weird props. Sometimes buying them can be the fun part.

Me dropping 20 tiny alcohol bottles on the counter of a liqueur store:

Clerk: Sample size is great, you get to try all the flavors.
Me: Oh, they are not for me, they are for my dolls.
Clerk: Um...
Me: For photography, I want to take pictures of a doll party.
Clerk: Uh, okay... That sounds kind of funny actually.

 

Lately its been a camper and camping equipment for my dolls to go camping.

 

I have a bunch of those as well! I should do the photoshoot I've been wanting to do.

A 60cm size TARDIS, a 70cm size motorcycle, a 70cm size axe, some 60cm sized horses and equipment for them, and that's just the start.

I have been hunting on and off for years now for 1/3 scale household cleaning supplies. I'm talking mop, broom (modern, not those cute witchy ones), spray bottles, feather duster, etc. I need them for my 70cm boy who helps clean the house. xD Anyway, so far as I can tell, these things do not exist outside of children's toys, which are the wrong scale and don't look realistic enough, or in smaller dollhouse scale which is also unusable for my large boy. And sadly, I am not a crafty person so making them isn't an option for me. The hunt continues!

 

Haven’t begun searching for them yet but I may need realistic looking 1/4 scale rat skulls for a headpiece I will be attempting to make. Probably need some other skeletal bits too, human-ish……especially spinal column.

 

I've seen a 1/3 sized mop and pail before on taobao. Unfortunately I won't have the link anymore, but it does exist for BJDs!

 

Weirdest prop so far is Highly Specific more than weird. A British WWI Mark III Enfield Rifle and Bayonet in 1/3 scale. Having that 3d printed.
Oh and I need to make a WWI Private rank BEF Uniform, with regimental badges and all. (Glossters, if you're curious)
And a lil battered pack of 1/3 scale French cigarettes and a bottle of gin.

 

Bees. I want 1/3 scale bees for my spring-themed boy. Mostly all you find is those ones for floral arrangements, and they're not in scale. The only tiny ones I can find are very unrealistic. I may end up making my own.

 

Weirdest thing probably was realistic 70cm scale lock picks for my master thief. They don't exist, but I got a trained toolmaker to hand-make a set for me and I made the leather wrap/ sheath to carry them in.
So, if we ever come across any locked 70cm scale doors or safes, we're totally prepared for anything

 

My wildest accessory story is the hoverboard... I didn't go looking for it as a doll prop. I told myself 'this is not a doll prop, this is 1/5 scale, so it's definitely not a doll prop, it's just a neat little tiny thing to put on your shelf and look at'.

... Yeah, then I found a 1/5 boy and obviously I had to buy him, for the accessory I already had and thought wouldn't go with any of my dolls.

All my other props and accessories feel normal next to that.

 

An annular brooch (specific medieval style) for a doll that's meant to replicate my favorite childhood Barbie. I'm still looking, actually- thinking I may dismantle a cheap brooch frame from Michael's and attach the pin to an appropriate-looking septum ring
