Omg the fact that I’m getting the storm twins at the time of this video, is just pure shock lol. The storm twins are like viciousness meets dark beauty.

[@NexJen]

Oooh perfect timing. Let's pretend I planned it all 😉

[@sarayasage]

Just ordered mine too and they are coming tomorrow, im so excited! The fact that I got Victoria from series 5 before getting the Storm Twins is just..idk what I was thinking waiting so long for these 🤣

[@AIJANUMBER1]

Love your video

[@Fangirl_1272]

​@@sarayasagesame I am getting them for my birthday on July 15 2024

[@psychotophatcat]

I think the Storm Twins's budget went to their unique hand moulds, more premium fabrics/textures, and the outfit separates. The De'Vious Twins came with more accessories at a similar price point because their outfits were simpler to make, with only one kind of fabric and no iridescent pigments or textures to fuss over. I can't be sure, but the prices make sense to me given the difference in the level of detail. But honestly, I would've paid more for oil slick trunks and some extra jewelry or something! For example, I wish Naomi had come with some hair clips since her pigtails look a bit plain next to Veronica's. Overall though, these are just about perfect as far as dolls go as far as I'm concerned, and I may even grab a second set on sale to keep mint, which I never do!

[@rumis.dollsss.15]

I love how different the Storm Twins are from each other.

[@xfairfaeriex]

Love the Storm twins! I originally bought them because of Veronica but after having them for a while now, I actually like Naomi the best. I just love their style and color palette so much.

[@NexJen]

Naomi is my favourite of the two as well

[@Fangirl_1272]

​@@NexJenVeronica is my fav twin

[@VeronicaStorm98]

I got the Storm Twins literally two weeks after they came out at full price (they are my current comfort dolls and I like to carry them around and just hold them sometimes). I even asked for a second set of them for Christmas to keep mint in box because they are two of my favorite dolls of all time. Ever since they appeared on the show, my Aspie mind fell in love with their character designs and they are currently comfort characters for me. I love their goth, oilslick color scheme and it reminds me of when I am trying to mix black paint, but I accidentally add a bit too much purple. I love all their clothes and everything about their aesthetic. I also love the nails, because I tend to grow out my nails extra long IRL and its so nice seeing dolls with something that you can actually relate to. And with Veronica's sleeves with the feathers as well as the dark purple color scheme of her outfit and the black hairbows in her hair, she reminds me so much of Fischl and the feather color her night raven, Oz, from Genshin Impact for some reason. I was even fortunate to get a Veronica with a gum piece that wasn't glued onto her mouth so that I could carefully pull it out of her mouth and display her without it. And I am sure that its obvious that Veronica is my favorite twin and my current favorite doll in the whole SH/RH line and that I clearly see the Storm Twins as being superior to the Devious Twins.

[@seamarie3111]

By the way, I REALLY appreciate all your awesome descriptions of appearance and clothes. I'm partially blind and, while I can pick out much of this in pictures, and some in person, the subtler hues and details elude me. I have one bit of feedback, though. Could you please describe eye color? That looks fairly obvious to me in the pics, but again I might be missing something. It's also often easier for me to see some things after they're pointed out ... I guess so my brain can better make sense of what my half-functional eyes are looking at, LOL! Anyway, these dolls are gorgeous, and my niece will love them!

[@Ninja-uc3di]

their eyes are a very light purple to a very light turquoise!

[@seamarie3111]

@@Ninja-uc3di Ah, thank you! I was close, but not quite accurate. I like their larger eyes, easier to see, and the dolls are lovely. I think my mom and have been a bit obsessed, LOL! We've had so much fun buying them for my niece!

I have literally been just checking every few days for a new video from you. So happy to see you again, Jen. 😀💜 Sorry to hear you are still sick. Hope you get better by Christmas. Merry Christmas by the way!! ❤️🌲💚 P.S.: I loved how you were so detailed about the differences in the hands.

[@seamarie3111]

These are fabulous! My niece doesn't have any SH dalls yet, just the RH ones, and she loves her RH twins, so I think she'll love these! Heck, I love these! I've got a Jet Dawson and a Kia Heart standing proud on my computer desk right now!

[@helensosacortez1245]

Me and my sister just got them today for our birthday’s I am so excited

[@kelseypeterson5172]

I just got the twins for Christmas and didn't have any of the problems you mentioned. No knots, stains, box hair or loose threads anywhere. They are absolutely perfect. The plastic inserts the twins come tied to, Naomi's had a special slot cut out in the back because they had her hair parted with some on each side at the front and the rest tucked in that little slot in the back so her hair wasn't actually touching the box or being smushed against her. All I've done is rinse the gel out but I didn't have to recurl their hair since it came out perfect.

[@Fangirl_1272]

Your not crazy jen looking at some pictures of them niomi does have a more blue skin tone while Veronica has a more pink skin tone

[@PristinePanda]

lol thats so funny i didnt even realize the trunks were supposed to be accessories. i immediately threw them away like what even is this thought it was just box decoration. i thought my dolls were missing something because i thought something was supposed to be in the "trunks" lol

[@MiMiMeow89]

Just got mine on Tuesday. My Naomi also had two tight knots that I had to cut out plus had lots of hair that had both ends in her scalp and had to carefully pull one end out.

They're gorgeous, I love them. I'm planning to buy two boxes so I can keep one pair in the box and one out the box😄 Edit: It's actually going to be pretty hard to buy two boxes, because in my country they're around 300-400 for one set, so...

[@blenderpain8249]

Potential typo(?): Naomi's focus has the RH logo while Veronica's has the SH logo. I got them for Christmas and they were 40% off on Amazon (later I realized it was US dollar but it was still good for me in CAD). Can't wait! Only about 15 more days till I can open them. I actually like the face-mold for these latest dolls. Initially, their eyes were too round and bug eyed for me to show any interest. The other doll I got my eyes on is Lola Wilde. Can't wait to maybe get her for my birthday.

[@NotAnotherKuromi]

The initial buggy eyes put me off the initial line too, I prefer the newer more angular jaw too, these later series are so much prettier in my opinion. Lola was the one I found the prettiest from the Halloween line, I am waiting to see how expensive she will be in the UK but I got these twins for Christmas so I am satisfied for now... I am always tempted though!

[@blenderpain8249]

@@NotAnotherKuromi I just opened the twins. They are quite lovely. Although, I did notice multiple stains on them. And a weird large clear patch of something spilled on Naomi's face (washing the face solved it though). I think I may have to use acetone to get rid of the other stains. And also I know I've been told this but don't wash bangs. They got messed up really badly and can probably only be saved with a boil wash now. One of the stand is extremely bad. The pole would just not stay in the base and I've had it just pop off randomly a lot (At this point, I've kinda given up trying to put Veronica back on her stand). I'm probably going to modify the clothing a bit. Instead of Velcro, I'm gonna put in a mini zipper for the skirts (one to help it lay flatter and 2 to be able to make the circumference slightly wider so I can pull the skirt down slightly and show a bit more belly). I always thought is was kind of odd the skirts rode way up past the bellybutton to the bottom of their tops even though their tops are clearly cropped. And now I just have to get apoxie sculpt. The lack of collarbone detail is kind of odd. And the small ears and small hands make me wanna build bigger ones. The feet on these dolls are also extremely odd. Usually, one can tell which feet are the right and the left one but these dolls have identical feet. Their pinky toe and their big toe are almost the same size and that's also slightly odd.

[@sarayasage]

​@@blenderpain8249 I just got mine and Veronica's gum is like glued into her mouth which is super disappointing since everyone else has been able to remove it but I only paid $50 on Amazon while others have paid waaay more so I guess I can't complain lol

[@blenderpain8249]

@@sarayasage Yea, the gum is glued. Initially, for fear of breaking the plastic, I just kept it in there but I mustered up the courage. I tried the good ol method of nice and slow. Just tugged at it slowly multiple times and it worked. There were glue marks left behind but nothing a little hot water and tweezers can't solve. I'm not going to offer my guarantee because I've heard of others having the plastic just snap and break. Proceed at your own risk.

[@sarayasage]

@@blenderpain8249 Im too scared to even try, I tugged a lot very slowly and it wouldn't budge, just kept pulling and stretching the plastic of the gum so she's just gonna be chewing gum forever lol. I planned on keeping it in anyways, just saw that others were able to pull it out and wanted to try 😁 Edit: I got it 🤣 I was just super careful and did it slowly and it eventually came out, thank you for the tips!

[@invisibilly3998]

i hate how i just realized last month that the color scheme for these two is oil spill. they're sooo gorgeous

[@rumis.dollsss.15]

The colour theme of the twins is oils slick so you guessed right.

[@ismaelcastro5095]

got them for $26.99 on Amazon today as well! I hope you have removed them from the box by now and adore them!! it's definitely worth it. they're onsale for much cheaper today so you could always try and get another set!

[@c.w.2000]

My package with the Storm Twins and Ainsley just arrived today from Amazon US. I never got them when they were at Indigo because they were too expensive and they sold out pretty quickly. They ended up being cheaper when they went on sale on Amazon US, even with the shipping to Canada. I haven't opened the box yet, so it was nice to have a refresher preview. If you ever do the lip project on Veronica, can you show a video of how you do it? Veronica's face is too pretty to be hidden, so I would like to do something like that too, but I have no idea of how to do it.

[@psychotophatcat]

I've seen people fill it with a small magnet and epoxy, paint over it, then attach the matching magnet to the gum so it can still be used. I would love to see a tutorial on it!

[@c.w.2000]

Although penicillin is derived from mold, I was a pharmacist for twenty years and have not heard of cross-reactivity with environmental mold. However, people (like me) can be allergic to mold itself. Again, I have not heard of an anaphylactic reaction the way a drug or food reaction occur, but mold can cause other health effects liking difficulty breathing (it may even provoke an asthma attack in someone who asthma). It definitely shouldn't be on a consumer product. With items sitting around for a long time due to the shipping container crisis, I am surprised there have not been more reports of mold over the past year. Everyone should check their products. I have a sensitive mold nose and can sniff it out quite well, even if it's not visible.
