#doll problems

I’ve had Minel for almost a year now and I hardly play with her. She’s very hard to sew for because of het tiny torso and humongous hips. She’s hard to pose because she is so top heavy. And then of course I got her in white, not quite realising how hard it would be to photograph. Rudy comes with the same body so will likely have the same problems. Apart from the color of course, I don’t know in what color they wil be released.

It’s like, do I want to get myself another doll that’s just going to sit there and collect dust?

I HAVE A HUGE NEED. FOR NOVISTAR DOLLS. Like. I can perfectly make an old beaten one into Jello. And they are just so precious. I wish I could have them. I wanted them when I was younger and they came out, but I felt awkward cause no one in my family liked them. XD

They are so expensive on Amazon tho and it makes me cry

I finally got my hands on a Captain Marvel doll to go with my Marvel Rising dolls after three failed order pickups at three different Targets. The fourth Target that I was finally able to get her at was out of my way but I was excited, so I went ahead and got her. When I opened her up, I found she had a defective thigh joint. 😓

I don't know if I should just return her and wait for them to come out at my local Target or if I should reach out to Hasbro?

I'm sure I can mod it to work correctly, but the way the Marvel Dolls thigh mechanism is made makes them hard to fix, and since I have not had to do it before, I may break the leg in the process. 🙄

Also, and just my two cents, I HATE the fabrics they used for this doll, they feel like cheap store-bought Halloween costume fabric. I haven't ever really liked the fabric Hasbro has used on their other dolls, but it has never been this bad. The fabric is so bad, it makes it hard to take clothes on and off the doll. And while the body is articulated on the $25 doll, and the boots are nice, the terrible fabric quality really makes the doll not worth the money...
