1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Horses for larger dolls

Sep 12, 2006

    1. HI guys
      Where can I buy model horses that would fit
      SD13 sized dolls?? I would like to avoid buying
      through internet. Do you know any store that would
      carry one? I've tried toysRus but they didn't have one.
      thanks in advance.
       
    2. I collect model horses, and I have never seen any that are to scale for SD13 dolls. The largest, easy to find one that I have seen are the My Generation horses, which aren't all that well designed as horse models go, and they're much more suited to MSDs. A larger doll on them would look like an adult riding a small pony. I think you can find My Generation horses at Target sometimes.
       
    3. I have an American girl horse and she is way to small for my Juri, Luts Girl body doll. However, she is the perfect size for my Luts Kid Delf Doll.

    4. thanks for the advices.
      I've seen pictures of SD13size bjd's on the model horses
      in the gallery section a long time ago.
      they looked so real!!
      If I could only remember who those piccies belong to...
      by the way the idea of bjh is real cool~
      positioning legs in different ways :)
       
    5. I'd been thinking of sculpting a SD/SD13-sized horse, specifically an Andalusian or Lipizzaner type out of regular sculpey and cast it in resin. The real question (after cost for materials) would be whether or not to make it ball-jointed as well for posing.

      And really, as many options as there are for giving face-ups to our dolls, just imagine the possibilities for the horses too! Bay, palomino, chestnut, and all the variations for markings too!
       
    6. The largest Breyers are 1/9 scale, and they just get progressively smaller. Believe me, I wish they worked with at least some dolls. I've got over 400 Breyers and original artist resin horses, riders would have been nice.

      I think to sculpt a horse 1/3 size, you would have to create a framework to put the clay onto, it'd be way too heavy without something like that in the middle.
       
    7. I don't remember what they were called but I know that at a meet awhile ago Pam had a few... I think they were hers. They seemed to be decently to scale. Those also might have been the pictures you saw if they were from late last year.
       
    8. yeah~ maybe the owner of those piccies is Pam.
      that particular post had several piccies of bjds' on few
      different horses. they looked very realistic.
      hope she posts her horses again. :(





       
    9. Pam's horses are these beautiful repaints she does of the target- my generation horses.
      THe Marx horses are 1/6 scale, so I got one for my Toyou. She looks small on it.
       
    10. My Generation--is'nt that the line of dolls unlike, but the same size, as the American Girl dolls? If so, when I get my Rainy Sooah, I want a horse, too! Yours is so beautiful!
      Love, Tambra :daisy
       
    11. Yep... My Twinn horses are a *much* better scale for SD/SD13-sized dolls than the My Generation horses are, and they look a little more convincing than American Girl horses... which look entirely too much like plushies. 0_o

      When I have light in the morning, I'll take a few pictures of Harumatsu's horse (one of the My Twinn variety-) with CP guys and gals, MiniFees, and my Hound. That beast is almost big enough for 70cm guys. It works perfectly with 60cm dolls. ^_^
       
    12. The scale is better but still off, as it is, that SD13 looks like it is riding a very small pony. Your foot should not be hanging around your mount's knees.
       
    13. Too bad that My Twinn doesn't accept international orders >.<
       
    14. I got an Our Generation horse this evening at Super Target. They are on sale right now for $22.99. I am a very happy Christmas girl.
       
    15. I just found some BIG stuffed horses (with sturdy armature) at a Rite-Aid (drugstore--if you're local to me, the one I saw was in Westlake Village, CA).

      They are roughly 29" tall (around 23" at withers), 31" long. Price--$29.00

      Those are my CP Elf Yder at the head, and Volks SD-13 Shiro riding...

    16. What brands of horses work for SD size BJD's?
      I'm from the Netherlands, so I've never seen any of the American Girl or Battat horses in real life. Will the work or are they too small? Also, are there other brands with in-scale horses?

      Thanks in advance!
       
    17. Dunno, it says the My Twinn horse is 25" high, which I'm guessing is the top of it's head, and which doesn't put it up to the size of horse I want. So it's still a smaller horse size-wise. I groomed enough horses while I was taking lessons that I know how tall I want it to be in comparison to my boy.
