which are the lightest dolls ie under 22 kg
Can you make them look like celebrity’s or certain individuals
We can, but we don’t recommend it — there are likeness/copyright risks you’d need to take responsibility for.
What kind of jewelry can I purchase for her? Metal, plastic, etc. Can she wear it all the time? Thanks im fairly new to this
Most jewelry is fine, including stainless steel, silver, plastic, and resin accessories. However, we don’t recommend leaving metal jewelry on the doll permanently, as it may cause staining over time. It’s best to remove jewelry when not displaying or using the doll and check contact areas regularly.
