Idea for the sub

Ive never been a mod so i dont know the technicalities of what im going to say BUT:
What if the sub had a megathread or pinned posts like the bratz and monster high? For often asked questions, that most of us know are very common, and useful information to avoid scams.
Example:
Facebook scam communities: please be careful since there are scammers,lineage endure community on facebook using AI or fake Novi listings to try and steal money via gift cars. (then link posts of victims)
Aliexpress novi stars are real mga watermarked but be careful not to overpray from scalpers, you can tell they are from aliexpress when the eye chips dont match the doll
You can 3d print novi star parts such as antennae, hands, heads, and nitas pod peg by downloading on cults3d or etsy.
Futher tips to avoid scams such as film unpacking or leaving a package at post office (for both buyer and seller protection)

And a mega thread would be useful so people dont spam "is this price good" even tho these all exist in past posts. All the price questios would be gathered in once place so people in the future can reference what others paid for without having to look or ask through the sub
What do you guys think? Id love to hear what the mod has to say if they see this

The buyers are at fault for the prices, not the scalpers.

Let’s talk about this because everyone is blaming the scalpers but no one is blaming the people who enable them. anything above 500 is insane, and most of us know that 500 is already insane and unrealistic. we’ve only reached this point because people are listing novis for 1k and someone is BUYING them?? crazy. you are making collecting worse for EVERYONE. And no I’m not bitter. I HAVE doe. I got her for 80. my friend got her for 150. and I encourage anyone who has her to drop the price they bought her at because I know some people are seeing this and losing hope, just like I did six months ago when I started collecting. you guys are paying more than a wage just because you don’t want to be patient, and it factually DOES make the prices worse. this is why the bratz community has more normal prices (or at least not 500-1k???)and we’re stuck in the situation we are in.

Let’s settle this once and for all. Mae tallied: straight or curly hair?

I don’t know if anyone else feels this way but this is a HUUGE dilemma for me. I love both styles so much, I think I’m just going to display her with straight and then just curl it in a few days because they both look so good 😭😭😭

I also want to say that I didn’t like and wasn’t interested in Mae at all at first. but after some time I’m really starting to love her!

omg yall I meant tallick 💔💔

Grew up with uninvolved parenting, have 0 dreams and ambitions. What do I do?

hello. this isn’t to complain but more so to give context as to why I think I don’t have ambitions. I’ll start by saying I know my mother cares for me and did provide the basics, i am eternally greatful, but she never pushed me outside of primary school, I had 100% freedom. to some that sounds good, but for a child it’s chaos, and I firmly believe discipline and goals need to be encouraged.

dad wasnt around because he got in jail. he got out when I was 9-10(didn’t have much of a real relationship until I was 17),now he is a very successful sales man in the furniture industry.

mom remarried and I got a step dad, he works in the sailing, in my country that is big money. he financially controlled us, wouldn’t let mom work, wouldn’t let me do hobby’s to pay an extra 50(again he is very wealthy) besides art class that was 10 a month.

they ended up divorcing, my mom got a job in public services so she can manage to retire.

i used to like math, but i was never good at it, i was having a difficult time keeping up with the other kids and when I asked for a tutor at grade.. 4? My parents denied.

fast forward age 18. I end up in a theoretical direction in a theoretical university even tho I hate it. my mom encouraged me to go for the opposite direction because that’s what I wanted, but I was scared and the risk of me not knowing math at all anymore was just too great for me.

3 years later I dropped out. i was scared at first, but 2 months after dropping out, my mental health has gotten so much better. that being said I got a retail job 4 hrs 5 days a week so I don’t have to burden my mom financially. I don’t hate it, I think I kinda like it, but it’s definitely not what I wanted to do forever. I want to find my passion and I’m scared that I won’t, I’ve read so many stories about people in their 30s and 40s still not knowing. any advice is needed, what can I do, how do I discover what I want?

Custom outfit for Gail

I can’t get over the little spark because of the light. inspired by two older stellar skinz twins that were posted here in the past.

Straightened Ina’s hair and gave her custom hands

I wish I had taken a proper before. Pic two is when I received her, you can’t actually tell how bad the hair is below. I got her for my friend in Spain, but they got a new one and were kind enough to sell her to me (at a very cheap price too).I wet her hair a little, and went straight to straightening and combing (because it looked like it was tangled- heat damage, so I didn’t want to comb beforehand and ruin it further). Surprisingly I love the result, and she was also missing her hands when we ordered her, so I dyed some Mae hands with her colors and boom! Don’t ask me why they’re red instead of yellow, I only thought of it after I painted them 😭

special guest Anne because shes the latest addition to my collection also for very cheap hehe

EDIT: she’s also wearing cyla clops shoes that I dyed red

Zombie sale plus question-discussion

hey gals and aliens. I decided to put the zombie girl at 3,8 euro so hopefully that’s affordable, I’m making 3€ after the cults commission. Currently almost halfway from the 80 I paid for her to be made. is the price okay? will it be more affordable if it’s lower?

also happy update, (kind of) I tried sculpting the mermaid on my own but it didn’t go that well, so I decided I’ll commission another artist for her, and now that the zombie exists as a base, she will be a lot more affordable for me at 60€. I just got a job so she’ll be available preetty soon:D

I would like to add that I’m sure some are displeased that these aren’t sculpted by me, but I rather commission someone and get at least SOME of the money back (like a team effort for the model) rather than all of us drooling every time we see someone who made it but didn’t put it up for sale.

iCloud wants to sync more pictures than the ones that exist on my phone

hello everyone. I don’t pay for extra iCloud storage, I would like to. but why, since there are 28,4k pics on my phone, and 800 vids, it wants to sync 48k freaking items? could it be that it is counting all the pictures and videos I’ve deleted? if so why? has anyone had a similar experience.

i have the iPhone 15 iOS version 18.5

I feel like guts from berserk

this is a (semi) joke, and although it sounds corny, damn do I feel like guts. I used to get nightmares for weeks until my anxiety I guess relaxed? now it’s been three-four days of continuous nightmares again and it sucks. Its currently 6 am, I always remember my nightmares but I grabbed my phone quickly so maybe that’s why I forgot now. it’s my first day at work on Monday so maybe that’s the cause?? either way I want them to just go away.

CLARIFICATION- the first doll isn’t mine I found her on Pinterest! here is the link but I don’t think this is the original creator, if anyone knows them please state in the comments. https://gr.pinterest.com/pin/571183166087700320/

okay so! I got the novi stars anne arctic doll (second slide). unfortunately her hair is not very similar to her box art so I want to redo something like the first picture. her rooting is not like an average doll. her head doesn’t have holes, the hair is basically stuck with glue on her head. So my question is, does anyone know what kind of hair is on the first slide? Or where I can buy stuck strands to glue on her head?
