Custom Doll & Customizer Info^^

Lesson One.....background check

Dollygoggle Custom Girls
A shameless self promotion but do keep a look out for Dollygoggle girlies. My girlies are the best, they are made with love :P So yea, anyways up and coming ebay auctions will be mentioned in advance on my news page (see tab above) so go and bookmark it now!

Choose a base doll
Every custom jobs starts with a base doll so visit my links for good dolly buying resources & supplies.

OR choose a customizer
If you’re not sure how to do the job, it’s always a good idea to employ the services of a professional customizer. That said, choosing a customizer is something that involves placing a lot of trust in another person and their ability. Customizing is not an invitation to playtime, it’s a serious business with serious consequences if things go wrong. Whether you’re buying a custom girl or employing custom services for your stock girl, it's really important that you are totally confident of the customizers ability and not just their customizing ability but their ability to understand and interpret our ideas and made them a reality.
Other things you should remember are......

Travel Insurance
Always make sure your dolly travels with insurance via the most reliable method available. No matter how costly the shipping, always make sure that your girl is traceable and insured on her travels. It's just not worth the risk.

Polymer specific product?
This one is REALLY important. Always make sure the the stuffies used to customize your doll are specifically made for use on polymer (plastics) or are compatible for use on polymer. If there's any doubt then clarify with the manufacturer not your buddies. "I used it & it's fine" actually means "I don't know but I chanced it and my girls head hasn't fallen off..........yet!"

Ask questions?
Ask questions of your customizer and make sure that custom girls listed on ebay and other places are treated with nail polish, or nail polish remover, superglue etc. If you do the custom work yourself, ask questions about products, test products and be safe. The fact that a girl looks ok now means nothing:

Disturbing, I know. This was originally posted by Melissa of puchicollective on TIB Forums. The pink EBL chip on the right was painted with ordinary clear topcoat 11 months previously.

Good time & bad times
Always check good/bad dolly deals before you enter into any dolly deals. If you have a bad dolly deal of your own then do warn others on bad dolly deals. Likewise, if you have a good dolly deal then do promote the vendor on good dolly deals. links
