Re: Some help please!
Thank you for your reply, carlys_guy. I know I saw them someplace but I can't seem to find them now. But, research is kinda my thing. So I'm sure I'll find them again.carlys_guy wrote:as far as i know eighth wonder is the only place to get extra eyes and lips. midiman used to sell them but since eighth wonder put him out of business he doesn't.

Re: Some help please!
some members have used laminated photos for eyes and made molds for the lips and poured their own out of silicone, i think karrot and samara78 have made lips. cuddly over on the uk site used felt to make lips for his girl, juncharted2 had some lips embroidered he may have done the eyes also not sure.

Re: Some help please!
I've seen most (or a good share anyway) of the modded eyes and lips. I know I was on a sight not long ago and it had the eyes and lips. I want to find it because it's bugging me that I can't lol.carlys_guy wrote:lovedollsales is midimans new store and he used to have some teddy babe parts but when his stock was gone he stopped selling them.

Re: Some help please!
That's probably where you saw them, but maybe they shut things down if they were out of stock? Wouldn't hurt to ask if he's got anything left. Maybe there's a few odds and ends, but not enough to justify keeping the website up.carlys_guy wrote:lovedollsales is midimans new store and he used to have some teddy babe parts but when his stock was gone he stopped selling them.
Although they're not on the website, I'm pretty sure you can get that stuff from teddy-babes.com too. If you find extra "parts" for a Teddy Babe, that's where they ultimately come from anyway. If someone else is selling them they're an authorized vendor.

Re: Some help please!
I did email Eighth Wonder and they told me a way to get the extra eyes and lips when I order my Teddy Babe. So I'll order them them. I don't need them until I order anyway lol. But I suppose I just wanted to make sure I can keep her in the best condition when I finally DO get to order.JackieTreehorn wrote:This makes sense, it very well could have been where I saw them but the website got taken down.carlys_guy wrote:lovedollsales is midimans new store and he used to have some teddy babe parts but when his stock was gone he stopped selling them.

Re: Some help please!
I hope there will always be a way to get extra eyes and lips from Eighth Wonder because as long as one has a Teddy Babe, then there will always be a possibility of having to replace these parts.TakersRose wrote: I did email Eighth Wonder and they told me a way to get the extra eyes and lips when I order my Teddy Babe.

I also hope that they will continue to provide eyes and lips for the standard Babes. This is something that I have been concerned about since I heard that the standard model Babes have been discontinued.
Girlfriends are for guys who haven't found the right doll yet.
I feel much better now that I've given up hope.

Re: Some help please!
I know there are embroidery shops that make custom patches/appliques, so I may just have to design my own and see what floats.

Re: Some help please!
Hope you'll share what you come up with. I have my eyes on these lips I saw they read kiss my patch... however the application was way too large.digitalcavebear wrote:I'm looking to see what I can do to find my own embroidered eyes at this time. Juncharted2 was nice enough to provide me the information for his source, however the design is more complicated than what I am looking for. While I like his choice for lips as well, I am also looking into other options. Though the lips he has found for his Samanta are pretty bad ass.

Re: Some help please!
That's my concern! I've decided that the Teddy Babe is the perfect doll for me and I want her to last as long she can. Which means that her eyes and lips might need to be replaced. If push comes to shove in the far future, I feel comfortable that I could make some lips. The eyes however, are a different matter. And I too hope that Eighth Wonder continues to supply the eyes and lips for the Babes.Stewie studmuffin wrote:I hope there will always be a way to get extra eyes and lips from Eighth Wonder because as long as one has a Teddy Babe, then there will always be a possibility of having to replace these parts.TakersRose wrote: I did email Eighth Wonder and they told me a way to get the extra eyes and lips when I order my Teddy Babe.

Re: Some help please!
Quite honestly I think you can do the eyes yourself. Provided you have availability to a laminator or some really good packing tape. Even today's printers could reproduce something similar, they make glossy paper..TakersRose wrote:That's my concern!

Re: Some help please!
The member Cuddly mentioned above had trialled some embroidered eyes, but wasn't happy with them.
He prefers all aspects of his lovely lady Lian be textile and has achieved this uniquely.
He ended up printing photocopies of the original eyes onto printable water resistant adhesive backed textile sheets that fit into a standard printer, the result was excellent.
He has offered this service to UK forum members, I would imagine he'd offer the same here.
As the TB lips usually only last a couple years if kissed well and regular, some members have made plaster moulds of the latex lips and produced silicon replacements with shop bought silicon, as it is softer and more resilient.
