Hi all! This is my first post ^__^

Yesterday I purchased my first super dollfies, two 11" 1/6 scale twins from an eBay seller in California. They're getting face-ups done so it might be an extra week before they ship out.

I have a few questions about these dolls. Mainly to do with hair/eyes and scale. I didn't like the blonde wigs that are coming free with the dolls I ordered, so if I bought a 1/6 scale wig of my liking, would it fit these dolls? Also, if I wanted to give them new eyes down the line, how complicated is it to change them? Do they need to be glued in?

My last question is about scaling. After I bought the dolls, I went a little crazy buying accessories for them on ebay and etsy. For the most part I bought "Barbie-sized" because I understand Barbies are about as tall as my super dollfies. But I see a lot of scaling, like 1/6 and 1/12.. Some of the 1/12 stuff, photographed with quarters, looked like they'd be an acceptable size for my dolls, while in other cases the 1/6 size seemed more ideal. Could anyone shed some light on this for me?

Sorry for the long post! ^__^;;

You can use any wig that will fit the doll's head size.

Most 1/6th scale dolls will wear 4-5 sized wigs.

1/4 scale dolls usually wear 6-7

1/3 scale dolls usually wear 8-9 or 9-10.

1/6 scale dolls generally fit with rement type stuff. If it's 1/12 scale it might be a bit small but occasionally it's an okay fit.
