r/NoviStars

I don't even know if i can post this here, its super random haha but i have no idea where else i could post it! Anyways, here's Alie. Took me around 2 hours to make! I don't know why her hair looks so red in the pic, its really pink!

my aliexpress Mae arrived and I can’t believe I’m so in love. just put her up on display yesterday along with beach alie. my collection is finally coming together, and I absolutely cannot wait for my Malie and Tula to arrive 💙💙💜

I can’t get over the little spark because of the light. inspired by two older stellar skinz twins that were posted here in the past.

It’s 270 USD, they showed her eyes still spinning and everything and I’m afraid if I don’t snag her now I’ll never get her.

I've seen some people share their creations of their novi stars here and I thought I would like to share mine!

I did the main four before I move on to other novis 😻

Alie - Una - Mae - Ari

I have a Mallie Tasker head I got on Aliexpress and I haven't been able to get off these yellow stains. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to remove them?

Today I got my Gail Lexi along with two of the fashion packs and I'm really happy with them. I got this plus a pet and the plush from the space dreamer pack

My Novi Stars collection is made up of Aliexpress parts but I love them. I'm getting a Gail Lexi in the mail soon and I'm really excited

These are all my girls I've collected over the years! The acquisition order in the first photo is from left to right (mostly; Frostina and Mimi was supposed to swap spots, oops)

I found Anne at my one (and only) visit to K-Mart ages ago! Snagged her for $10 and I *kinda* regret leaving the Ina Ferna she was with behind… But I'm not really fond of her design, hopefully she was brought by an actual fan! Somehow I lost Anne's shoes in my own house and I never found them, smdh

I *would* go back in time and kick myself for not buying Mimi when she was new and only $100, but maybe not because I got her as a birthday gift from my baby sister last year! She personally fixed her up and everything, and she's the most special of them all on that reasoning alone <333

All I'm missing is Carmela Sweets and my collection will be complete (but that's going to take a *while* due to these prices :/)! I just hope MGA gives the line another shot in the future, these girls are my favorite MGA doll line besides Bratz and they did *not* deserve to get canned so soon 😭

Finally got my Ina in the mail!! She’s beautiful and now she’s reunited with Anne <3

They are so cute i adore them!!!

hi all! i decided to get a cheap ari i found as a preset for myself and one of the reasons why she was so cheap is because she has a few defects (a broken antenna, chipped glitter on her foot and missing shoes and helmet, but she has all of her accessories besides that).

im wondering how could i fix the chipped glitter on her foot? i know it will probably be covered by her shoes once i get them but id like to fix her up either way. the pic is what the seller sent me, although i do not see it as such a big issue since she has her original outfit and even her pet.

i was thinking of trying to use purple glitter nail polish but if anyone has any better ideas or if anyone has any tips on how to make her hair neater please let me know!

I found this price guide from only 3 years ago, and some of the prices might be the same but I’m specifically eyeing the later line ones such as Carmela and the others. I adore these dolls but I don’t understand why they sell for so much when the community is so small and like not a lot of people like or want these dolls compare to lines like mh:( does anyone know why the prices are insane?

I see the main 4 selling nib now for 140+

Nita lights listings are mostly 400 now
And don’t get me started on the ones that are 600+

This here is mineee my dream one day is to own the main ones and nita light!

I wish I had taken a proper before. Pic two is when I received her, you can’t actually tell how bad the hair is below. I got her for my friend in Spain, but they got a new one and were kind enough to sell her to me (at a very cheap price too).I wet her hair a little, and went straight to straightening and combing (because it looked like it was tangled- heat damage, so I didn’t want to comb beforehand and ruin it further). Surprisingly I love the result, and she was also missing her hands when we ordered her, so I dyed some Mae hands with her colors and boom! Don’t ask me why they’re red instead of yellow, I only thought of it after I painted them 😭

special guest Anne because shes the latest addition to my collection also for very cheap hehe

EDIT: she’s also wearing cyla clops shoes that I dyed red

Inspired by u/NeedleWorkerNo4941 , I decided to put Zooey with Mimi! I also thought I might share how I got into collecting Novis since its connected!

Like im sure all of us, Ive always loved dolls! My grandma has a huge collection of those porcelain dolls which, while not so fun for a scared kid at night, definitely pushed my interest in dolls. Around 2018 I got really into the doll customizing channels like Dollightful and (unsuccessfully) tried it myself, but I've never been a huge Monster High fan. I never stopped watching them tho!

In 2020 Rainbow High dolls started getting released and were highly praised for their quality and great designs. I immediately started collecting them and continued to until around 2023 when the quality started to dip and life got busy. At some point during then they released Zooey, and she immediately became my all time favorite Rainbow/Shadow High doll! I had no idea what Novi Stars even were until I saw other people online talking about how Mimi was the one on her shirt and laptop. At that point I hadn't bothered to really look into Novis but thought it was cool and really liked Mimi.

At some point around 2022-2023 I believe, a video about vintage dolls showed up on my YouTube fyp, and one of the doll lines she talked about was Novi Stars! I absolutely fell in love, it kickstarted started a more active interest in Novis for me but I still didnt start collecting them yet mostly due to money.

Later I saw a doll customizer named Moonlight Jewel did an art challenge where she customized a Mimi doll and made her own version. I was thrilled to see more love for these dolls, it was the only community I knew at the time for them (obviously I know now there was more but I didnt know of them back then)

After years of talking about Novi Stars, last year my sister decided to get me my first two dolls, my Ari Roma (part of the reason I love her so much!) and my Gail Lexi. Actually seeing them in person and being able to hold them was a totally game changer. Im not sure if I wouldve even started collecting them due to my anxiety over the prices if not for her! Since then Ive been getting dolls when I find them for a good price (for the most part, I may have gotten a tad overexcited when I first started lol) As you can see Im primary a in box collector with Nita Light and Ari Roma being my big exceptions, Nita cuz she looks so much cooler out of box and I found a working one for sale for a GREAT price and Ari cuz she's my favorite! I also have Una Verse and her pet and a mix and match Vera Tabray, but I'm debating selling or trading them since I think someone else might appreciate them more, Im not sure yet tho. Eventually I hope to redesign all of them and make my versions into actual dolls!

I know my story was a bit convoluted lol, for most of their actual production I was a bit too young for them and when I was old enough my family mostly stuck to barbies, so I dont have any nostalgia for these from when I was little. I would love to hear how you all started collecting too!

Im so excited!! The advertisement was an older one, and the seller hadnt been online in a while so i was worried they wouldnt respond. So when i got a notification that they responded i gasped out loud and started shaking LOLOLOL!!

She was my biggest novi stars grail. I cant wait for her to be shipped to me!!!! I’ll make an update post when shes with me :)
