Product Reviews: Doll Stand Sold by WishlistDollClothes4U on eBay

Have you ever set up an object in the perfect position to take a photo of it and it just topples over before you click the shutter? I have that happen to me all the time! Especially when I am trying to photograph my dolls outside in their outfits. Sometimes the wind is strong and pushes them over or I have to conduct a balancing act on uneven ground.



So, I was trying to figure out a few weeks back what I could do to stabilize my dolls better so they don't move when I take their picture. Well, somebody already invented something long before me called the "doll stand." But, I totally could have come up with that if someone else hadn't. :)



I searched and searched and searched online mostly as the brick and mortar stores here don't carry such items. I finally found one that caught my eye that is sold be WishlistDollClothes4U on eBay through their store WishlistDollClothes. I thought the price was right and finally bought one after it had been sitting on my watch list for a few months. They aren't the cheapest doll stand on the market, but they are fairly reasonably priced compared to some other items I saw.



The base is wood and the neck of the stand is metal painted in a brown color. It also has an adjustable holder for the doll to accommodate anywhere from 16" to 20" dolls. I tried out my doll stand on the Mattel American Girl Doll Samantha as she has the most stuffing of my other American Girl Dolls by Pleasant Company before the buyout. Plus, most people looking for dolls to buy are probably looking at the newer Mattel ones as they came out with more variations and historical ones for the BeForever collection.



Overall, I was happy enough with my purchase that I am going to use it in my photo shoots. You can see my overall review in the video:

Some things I would have included in this video is how the doll looked wearing a dress. I talk about it but never showed it. The dresses I make are floor length and you cannot see the stand at all when the doll has a dress on. Actually you can't really tell that the doll is leaning backwards unless you are very intent on staring at her to see what her flaws are.



I also never showed what a Pleasant Company American Girl Doll looked like using the stand. I am not actually planning on using this stand on those dolls as it was so tight on my Mattel doll that I didn't want to risk ripping the cloth body on those dolls. I don't use them in photo shoots most of the time as they are my collectibles and not apart of my business display dolls.



If you have purchased this stand please let me know what you think of it in the comments section below.
