US$75.00

Reef, another grumpy but loveable friend to add to our bloom lineup for 2021!

A tiny 3D printed Ball jointed Doll kit from July 2021. These kits are put together by just 2 people and waiting times can sometimes get extensive. We are currently experiencing a large volume of orders so please be patient. If patience isn’t your thing (we understand!) our kits may not be for you.

Reef comes on the jointed mer-tail with his own shark tail tip, a fin that works on the back or alternatively, sandwich the magnets on either side of the wig for a unique mohawk. They also come with Shark fin ears.

As these are a kit for you to finish at home, there will be flaws and marks that can be easily sanded away. This is a normal part of the production process and nothing to worry about. You must spray your doll ENTIRELY with uv cut sealant to protect them from the sun. Since they are made of a photopolymer resin, this step is vital to keep your bloom safe and strong for years to come. INVEST IN A DECENT MASK and always wear when working with resin or sealant.

This is a fun little project that can take anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on your skill level. They will be sent unstrung so that you can work on the parts easily and all magnets and elastic will be provided as a part of the kit.

Eyes are available separately as well as wig kits for you to make wigs for your bloom. Tutorial to come soon.

Please refer to the video at the bottom of the page for a thorough tutorial for you follow!

These kits are designed for people of all skill level so don’t be intimidated if you’re new! We all start somewhere.

This month doesn’t have as much sentimentality behind it and is just an opportunity for a lot of fun. We’ve explored different finishes of resin and moved onto full mermaid tails! After all, who doesn’t love a mermaid really!? The posing is absolutely gorgeous on these little ones and they’re so expressive because of that. They can fully stand, supported by their tails too, which is super cute and convenient for display!

I know that a lot of people won’t be too excited by the prospect of white mermaids but before you make your choice I’d love you to consider alcohol ink and the amazing effects that can be done with it. You can stain your resin any colour in a solid or water colour like finish, to create something truly unique and interesting! I’m not sure if i’ll get time to upload this to the website before launch but i’ll try to make a blog post in time! We want to encourage creativity with these little ones and kept the tail plain on purpose so that you can paint on unique designs (koi fish?) or even cover them in your own mermaid scales or glitter!

 

The video below will be updated to Drippy’s specific video once it has finished being created. Please wait patiently!
