I co-published this magazine, and I am the editor-in-chief.
I wrote many of the tutorials myself. In my opinion, this publication
is indespensable not only to beginners, but also to accomplished doll
artists. Honestly, I set out to offer the best magazine that I could
publish, with tutorials from some of the most respected artists in our
field. Buy one issue to see how you like it, and I know that you'll
want to buy all of the other issues after that! Unfortunately, due to
the fact that we didn't have enough advertisers, and also because I
had a difficult pregnancy, the magazine was forced to go on hiatus for
the year 2012, and we also didn't complete our six issues for 2011.
However, Doll Customizer Magazine is NOT DEAD, and it will resume publication
in the future. For now, you are welcome to order back issues of the
magazine - there are four issues total, and QUANTITIES ARE LIMITED,
SO THESE ARE ONLY AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!!

BACK AGAIN! ONE RANDOM BAG OF DOLL HAIR! NOTICE- these bags are only being sold in bulk - it's $10.00 for 5 hanks. You may only purchase them in groups of 5. We have some odds and ends of secondhand doll hair that we just can't sell on the site. This is either because they contain odd amounts of hair, or because they contain blended colors that may not be requested by a customer again for a long time. So rather than just let them sit around, we're selling them here. The photos on the left are some of our actual secondhand bags. To give you an idea of their size, each bag measures 6" by 4". The random bags of doll hair are sold for $2.00 apiece, and we GUARANTEE that the same amount of doll hair would normally sell on the site for anywhere between $2.50 and $18.50 (the average bag being worth about $5.00 - $6.00), so you'll be getting a discount no matter what! NOW, the hair that you receive in these bags could be saran, nylon, acetate, polypropylene, curly, straight, whatever. It is totally random. You are completely welcome to make requests in the OPTIONAL text box below (for instance, "please send only saran hair", or "please give me mostly blonde hair," and we will HONESTLY make our best possible effort to fulfill your requests, but we make NO GUARANTEES that you will receive what you ask for. Think of it as a surprise! |
A doll with her hair styled in a ponytail who's sitting in a curio cabinet will need Latex-free elastics, because the latex elastics below will soften and crack over time, but the Latex-free elastics will not disintegrate over time. You need Latex-free elastics if the elastics are going to be in the doll's hair for an extended period of time.
Latex elastics can withstand heat, so they're what you want to use for heat styling (boil perming with boiling water). The Latex-free elastics above cannot withstand boiling water.
SPECIAL! One My Little Pony polypropylene hank in the color "daring"
On sale for $2.50, but the normal retail price is $3.12! The color that is offered here will change periodically.
SPECIAL! One saran RD hank in the color "foxglove lavender"
On sale for $2.00, but the normal retail price is $2.50! The color that is offered here will change periodically.

LONG JAW NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS
Just PERFECT for getting inside the heads of dolls with small neck holes, like Barbie, to pull all of the hair out from inside the head before you reroot! The pliers are narrow enough to fit into small neck holes without causing any damage to the edge of the neck hole.
Approximately 6 in. (15 cm) total length.
NOTICE: the manufacturer made some slight changes to these
pliers, so the pliers that you will actually receive will look like this:
... same thing, basically, but the handles are black now.
JEM BUMPER STICKER
I made these bumper stickers myself, in Photoshop, as a promotional item to be passed out at Jemcon a couple of years ago. The bumper sticker reads, "Me and my friends are Jem Girls," - the words from the TV show's song, as you probably know.
Approximately 11 in. wide and 3 in. tall.
Show your love for Jem by putting this bumper sticker on your car!
Dollyhair T-shirt!
Only ONE CENT if you're ordering other merchandise from the site totaling $80.00 or more! Otherwise, you're welcome to buy a shirt for only $7.99.
Available while supplies last!
