Decals For Eyes - The Big Fix?

Here's some news from Integrity Toys:
A person at the top responded to the query about the decal eyes from a collector. He said that the "new technique will ensure that the eye alignment is always correct."
Someone said, "What if the decals are misaligned?"  Hmmmm.

Yes, boys and girls, that was the answer.

Going forward, what do you think?
Will you spend more than $100 for a doll whose eyes are decals even if they are sealed?

I understand that velcro is in use as well.

I don't think I would have known that Dasha's eyes were decals unless I read about it.

It sounds like a decision that was made to cut production costs. I can understand that. They are in business to make money after all.

Did you know that you can buy a sheet of doll eye decals (there are hundreds of styles and sizes to choose from) for about $5.?

DALSTON GenX.2 Sybarite Doll

Here is the newest addition to the GenX lineup from Superdoll.

This is directly from the website offering:


DALSTON DD_108

'I think I'll wear 'lipstick'.
Taking in the neighbourhood sights while strutting her stuff in Trendiest East London.

Venus knows her way around this part of town... it's home!

NEW! GENX.2 body!
NEW! Cosmetique skintone!

Her ash blonde blend double knot wig is a wonderfully styled for that summers day freshness while serving 'edge'! Eyes of sky and bluebelle surrounded by shadow of sunny yellow, sky blue and grey. Icy white liner on her lids. Brows of charcoal accentuated with fine strokes of taupe. Lips the colour of red summer roses.
Her sunshine yellow satin bra top and matching panties are, firstly to show off her waist and secondly no need to worry about just how short her skirt is! To keep her floaty, she wears lipstick print, on electric blue damask mini baloon skirt with waist pleats and concealed waistband, , just short enough to show off her long legs but classy enough to keep her cool!.
Pale sky blue hose, a pair of gorgeous metalic foiled silver lazer cut sandals with gilt platform soles , bearing red rose detail. This worn along with a cute red metalic neverfull bag, dripping in silver accessories emblazoned with gorgeous 'diamante' and metal contelation, and of course a red cutout matching buckle up waist cincher are her accessories of choice.
Just when you thought that was enough she picked up her chain and green bead with metal slats necklace and popped on her divine metal bathchain trimmed, bright red hair sticks; placed in her hair, 'just so'..
Good to go, she then added multiple hippy bracelets... just because she should!

The sun is shining outside Darlings!
Clone: 1000 Venus d'Royce

Of course she comes with the following standard accessories:
-manic_cure hands (see booklet for hand change instructions)
-booklet
-stand

In stock and ready to be delivered
Price: £252.00 (Excluding VAT at 20%)

What convinced me is her fashion: the belt on bare skin, the great neckpiece, the cute hair sticks!  I love it!  I like her wig, too. She looks like a keeper.

Decal Eyes or Halftone Printing? What is going on with FR dolls?

One of the topics of concern on with W Club members is the appearance of the eyes on Anika Luxottica and on one of the upgrade dolls, Vanessa Take Me On.

This collector actually found an 'extra' decal stuck in Anika's hair!
