DC Super Hero Girls Katana Custom Tutorial




The new DC Super Hero Girls show features 7 main characters including Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Katana, and Bumblebee. 6 dolls were recently released with Katana missing from the lineup. I will customize my own Katana doll today using a My Little Pony Equestria Girl mini Fluttershy.

Until Mattel releases their version of the DC Super Hero Girls Katana doll, I suppose mine would be the first :)

Gather your supplies. Paint brushes of various sizes, acrylic paint, Mod Podge.

Start by first removing the head from the body. Firmly grasp the head and body in each hand and give a tug, the head should pop off.

Paint the hair. Wait for the pant to dry between coats.

Paint the face. If you want to keep the eyes and lips, carefully go around the areas with a fine tipped brush. Touch up sections you covered with a bit of paint that matches the original color. If you want to redraw the face, paint the entire face then repaint the eyes and mouth with a fine tipped brush.

To paint the body, remove the skirt. Paint with acrylic paint, letting each layer dry before adding a new layer. Paint the skirt to match your design.

Seal and set the paint with a layer of Modge Podge. Let all the pieces dry.

Put the head and skirt piece back on.

Done. You have a beautiful new custom doll.

Splashlings Mermaid and Friends Medical Clinic Playset




Splashlings Mermaids are super cute collectible miniature mermaid toys. This is the medical clinic playset for your Splashling friends when they visit the doctor. The fish scale, fish Scan, and bed come off the stand so that you can arrange them to how you'd like. This is a great set for giving your Splashlings and friends their yearly checkup.

You can get more Splashlings friends by buying the 12 pack,  6 packs and blind bags, they comes with mermaids, seashell and  pets. There are more than 100 pets, underwater gems, and treasures to collect.

The Splashlings pets and treasures are similar in size as Shopkins and their eyes are pretty similar too. The Splashlings mermaids are much bigger and their tail is articulated so that they can sit. However, their heads and arms do not move.

Currently Splashlings are exclusive to Toys R Us, but I'm sure it'll start to hit other stores shortly.

1. Fast fish

2. Treasure Pets

3. Fin Friends

4. Swell Shells

5. Hip Flips
