Thanks again for this and all of your fun, informative, and amusing posts. I have a Stardoll but she is oddly posed in my dollhouse because of her lack of articulation, but you can swap her body either with an Obitsu body from Amazon or with a Liv doll body so the doll can have maximum articulation :D Also, you should check out MyFroggyStuff, she makes amazing DIYs for your doll like Doll-sized food, doll sized clothing and even doll sized furniture and custom houses!
I removed the feet by cutting off the vinyl joint sew some bjd wire elastic to vinyl feet and knot it inside the pelvis plastic through the cylinders inside the pelvis so now at least the pelvis thigh joints work and so now at least she can sit You are hilarious. I stumbled across this article while researching what a Stardoll was.
Great writing, informative and so funny :. I love her clothes and body sculpt bit I really dislike the stiffness due to non-articulation. I'm buying the Bishou doll for a headswap. I hope mine is alright in terms of paint. I was not even aware of Stardoll until February, when I saw the Mattel Stardoll fashion dolls on the Angelic Dreamz website back when I was picking my birthday doll. At that time, the "Bonjour Bizou" doll caught my attention with her red hair and orange ruched skirt.
But let me back up for a second in case you haven't heard of Stardoll, either. Stardoll is a Swedish-based company with a virtual paper doll website. The company was started in and has since rocketed to significant popularity.
Stardoll boasts over million unique users on their site to date. Back in , Stardoll was called Paperdoll Heaven. It is pretty fun, although I can't personally say how it compares to the original site. On this website, you can dress a huge number of dolls including celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, Justin Bieber and Milla Jovovich or even brush and dress an animated virtual horse my personal favorite. There's a page where you can design your own birthday cake The Stardoll website has some of the same dressing games as Paperdoll Heaven, but also has many additional features, including social clubs, shops and games that allow you to design your own clothing for the virtual dolls.
I'll talk a little more about the Stardoll site in a bit. Late last year, Mattel and Stardoll joined forces and Mattel released a line of Barbie-sized dolls modeled after the Stardoll concept. These dolls come with virtual money that can be spent on the Stardoll website.
The dolls come with a gold card that has a code redeemable for 50 Stardoll dollars, exclusive online content, and a one-week Superstar Stardoll membership. So, wait, I need to explain why I have this doll and not the Bonjour Bizou doll that first grabbed my attention. Bizou was my clear favorite after looking at promotional pictures, but I found the doll somewhat off-putting in real life. There were some issues with bad face paint and smudges on many of the dolls, so this certainly played a role in my choice, but it was also simply that I didn't care for Bizou's face.
I think it looks quite different from the promos. In contrast, I didn't look twice at the Fallen Angel doll's promo pictures, but was very impressed by her in real life. By the way, the names of the different dolls are from the names of the fashion collection they are wearing. I found my doll at Target. She comes with a clear stand and a small heart-shaped plastic black purse.
She's held onto the cardboard with just a few of those clear rubber bands. It's very easy to stretch and snip those. She has the inevitable plastic ties in her head. There a small plastic shell attached to the cardboard that helps keep her posed in the box. Here's the cardboard with the doll removed so you can see the design better:. I was drawn to this particular doll because I have always enjoyed the contrast between black and red or black and burgundy-type colors.
I think it looks fantastic. The fact that the color of her dress is mirrored in her lipstick and her hair highlights makes it even better. It gets a little too repetitive with the black belt, black gloves and black purse, but I do like the shoes and I love the slightly opaque leopard pattern of the tights The doll does not stand on her own very easily, but she can balance for a few seconds with a little persistence:.
Her hair is rooted and is very soft and manageable. She has gorgeous grey-ish eyes and a subtle smile. She has eyelashes! This particular doll has perfect face paint:. It looks like it should open, but that's only because it is coming apart at the middle seam.
Furthermore, there's some funny whitish gunge on the back side:. The white looks out of place and the lace is way too big for the doll and the glove. Maybe the gloves without the lace trim would have been ok? I could just clip off the lace, I guess, but they're not that well made and so it doesn't seem worth it.
There's just a little cut in the fabric to accommodate her thumb:. One of the reasons the doll doesn't stand very well on her own is that one of the feet seems to be in an odd position:. Look at the foot on the left hand side of the picture above--doesn't it look like it is bent out incorrectly? I mean, if she were just pointing her toe out as part of her pose, the sole of her shoe would still be on the ground, right?
I don't know. Maybe it was meant to be like that. Maybe my particular doll's ankle is just bent slightly too far out? It doesn't actually look that bad, it's only that I wish she could stand on her own better. The little black boots are nothing particularly special, but they go on and off easily and fit nicely with the style of the outfit.
One of the reasons I really wish the doll could stand on her own is that she can't do much else. She has practically no articulation. She has less articulation than a Barbie Basic doll. She can bend at the neck and at the shoulders. Three points of articulation. Posing options are extremely limited. Very few arm positions look natural:. But, as critical as this sounds, I do understand that the dolls are meant to be three dimensional paper dolls. This is the whole concept behind Stardoll.
A paper doll is not articulated in any way. From this perspective, the three points of articulation are three more points of articulation than we should expect. The other thing that is essential for a paper doll is that she should have gobs and gobs of awesome outfits that can be easily tried on and taken off. Besides the long eyelashes, Stardolls also have a different face paint that makes it look as though they're wearing more makeup and are sculpted to be more model-like than conventional Barbie dolls.
Because the dolls are not Barbies, the Barbie brand name on the packaging is tiny. While Mattel is not the first toymaker to try to link the virtual and real worlds, it may be the biggest. Webkinz has been wildly successful linking stuffed animals with online games. But the Stardolls linkup may set a new standard.
The guy who started Stardolls in thought there would be a physical Stardoll. Create an Account. Sign Up. Share More sharing options Followers 0. Comment by Hpi Monday at AM. If not, you should!
