You have a one of a kind Darkling that can never be replaced. Please remember these important tips to keep your Darkling looking fantastic forever!
🚫 NO Direct Sunlight - They will fade and plastics, vinyls, and glues may warp or melt.
🚫 NO Water - Water will cause organic hair to melt and create stains on clothing and painted surfaces.
✅ Light dusting is OK! Just be careful.
✅ You can gently comb/tame hair if it becomes unruly.
Apologies if your Darkling runs around at night. We don't always know what they get into. 😈

This isn't a standard easy answer, but we can provide a range. Basic services and common clothing on a doll will be less expensive than a doll that requires a lot of costuming to achieve the right look.
A good scale is $200 to $500 depending on the complexity of the project.
We are happy to discuss your ideas or collaborate with you if you aren't sure exactly what you're looking for!
