Deboxing Mari

I love her! by alington
I love her!, a photo by alington on Flickr.
She's here, she's here!

My custom doll system (CDS) has arrived from Iplehouse, and she's perfect! (The CDS system is available during the first few days of each month.) She has pierced ears, makeup style C from the original limited SID Elemental Guardian version, and mine is on a large bust peach gold nYID body.

You can see more photos on Flickr. I also ordered a long Sienna wig as well, which I think suits her perfectly.

  1. She's BEAUTIFUL! That wig looks great on her as well. Congrats!
    Can you order dolls with pierced ears directly from Iplehouse, or do you have to do it yourself?

  2. Thanks, Kate! Iplehouse pierced Mari's ears at my request--I think there was a $3 charge, but I'm not positive. I'll look it up for you. Many companies will offer this service when you ask. (I'm not quite brave enough, lol!)

  3. Haha, I know I wouldn't be brave enough to take a drill to my doll's ears, either! I could barely muster up enough courage to use a pushpin to open up the piercings in my Ellowyne's ears, and those were already pierced! :D

    1. Kate, sometimes a regular sewing pin that has been heated in hot water will really help with those vinyl dolls. (But I totally know what you mean. I'm such a chicken!) :)

  4. She's beautiful, Iplehouse face ups are gorgeous and they have lovely sculpts. Interesting to find out they will pierce the ears, thanks.

  5. Hi all--I just rechecked my order, and I've discovered that, at least with the CDS system and with my order, there was no additional charge to pierce the ears. How cool is that??

  6. The ear piercing is free? Awesome! Thanks for checking on that for me/us. :)

  7. It was for the custom doll system order, at least. I'm not sure it's offered for their basic dolls, though. :)
