Friday Dolly Question #11
- Japanese fashion doll news, sewing, crafts & more!
my dolls mostly stand on stands as i like to look at the dolls in all their beauty. I have only one doll-case in which the dolls sit because the shelves in it are a bit low.[img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/ec/b1/6c/ecb16c2271d76d732b2937fa5c2eaf1f.jpg[/img]
Hi Inna Novikov,
What a beautiful way to display your collection.
Do you have particular stand that you like using for your dolls?
I would love to display some of my dolls standing up.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share a photo and your experience with us! 😊

For light small dolls as Licca I use Licca stands, for dolls higher and heavier – Blythe stands, Kaiser stands and 25 cm doll stands from Ali Express
Hi Inna Novikov,
Thanks for replying
We’re definitely gonna have to get our hands on some Kaiser stands now!
We’re seeing so many collectors recommending it and we’re looking for something durable, so we think it will be a nice fit!

Right now, my dolls are all packed up because I have to move unexpectedly and the whole situation is a mess and a half, but usually, I prefer to put my dolls on doll stands. I had dedicated doll shelves, I hope I’ll be able to have some again soon. My 1/3 girls have to be displayed sitting, though, they’re too big and take up too much space when standing, but one day I hope to have enough room to display them standing.
Aside from their designated spots on shelves, I always choose some to put on my PC desk to keep me company. Sometimes I use random name picking app to choose for me to change things up.
Oh, and UV blocking window film is a must!
I really hope your move goes smoothly Neon, so you can enjoy your dolls.💖
Do you have a stand that you recommend? I would like to display some of my Pureneemos standing.
That is a brilliant idea to use a picking app to decide who gets to keep you company.
I tend to always reach for the same doll but if I leave it up to the fates, it will give me the opportunity to enjoy different dolls by my side.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

Most of my dolls came with their own stands, like Pullips or Monster High, so I use those.
As for pure neemos, I’m at a loss, I heard Kaiser stands are good, but I have no personal experience, they’re not available in my country, and importing them is expensive – even if I find them for good price, the conversion rate to my currency plus shipping costs, plus the whole VAT and Custom fees kerfuffle, pushes the cost way above reasonable.
So I’m very vaguely planning to make my own, but the whole emergency move hurly burly put a damper on my projects, and I think I’ll prioritize sewing when things finally settle down.
I do want to get to it eventually, though, because most of my dolls’ original stands leave a lot to be desired, they’re not very stable and the waist holders often do not fit, so it’s going to be a long-term project with a lot of trial-error-error going on. If I come up with something at least marginally usable, I’ll let you know!
Thanks for replying
Ahh my head is spinning, all those fees just for ordering a simple item 😵💫.
The dolls aren’t cheap so it would be nice to have a quality and durable stand to display them on.
Keep us posted!
