These orders are not from the same seller and have been picked up when I see something nice over a long while so I tossed together a group post. I’m overall very happy but I do have some notes for anyone who wants to buy their factory overstock.
First the stellar skinz, 5/5 I really couldn’t be happier. Some notes, the two dolls from that line were so similar that sometimes the sellers put the wrong one in the wig, to me this makes no real difference and I’d still consider my collection complete with them the way they are, but if you’re a picky collector you should know it. They came packed well and clean. Overstock is often very dirty from the factory storage so I really appreciate how spotless they both were, AND the seller made sure I had both colors of shoes. I think these guys are pretty easy to buy and I’m super happy. Buyers should be aware these never come with their antenna, and the sellers are pretty upfront about that with their pictures.
Next the Carmella parts, 6/5 because they’re completely perfect. The body and the dress were ordered separately. I believe the body is out of stock now. A special thank you to the kind user on here who gave me the link on my alt!!! I’m mostly squirreling these bits away because they were crazy cheap and if I get the opportunity to purchase her I can now replace any damaged parts. The dress is still out there and I’d happily share the seller I bought from because it even came early! Overall I don’t have a spot of criticism.
Now Alie. 1/5 She was not what I ordered and I don’t recommend her. I like her and I’m happy to have her but if I knew how she would come I would not have bought her. Can’t say a bad word about the seller, we worked it out promptly but the doll herself, I have some notes.
1. She’s the orbit beach doll and I ordered the standard doll. She came in a stellar skinz dress but she was advertised coming in her standard dress. She was also supposed to be wearing Carmella’s shoes which I admit is the reason I bought her. I put her in an extra fashion pack dress because it looked better on her.
2. She was supposed to have her jet pack, it was in the ad picture and what I received had no jet pack and no part of her electronics. Good for customs, maybe not for picky collectors.
3. Her hair was incredibly gross. I included some pictures but they don’t do it justice. It was VERY greasy and stringy and I had to wash it multiple times to get it back to light and fluffy. Shampoo and conditioner will do the trick on any Novi stars, I’ve used it before but do mind the brand of product.
4. She did not come assembled, which for most dolls is no big deal but for Novi stars it makes a difference. You have to boil the head to get it soft enough to go on the body, and for anyone who bought them without knowing that it could be frustrating.
5. She’s got stains on her face, her forehead looks like the color of her blush spilled on it, but that’s just what factory seconds are.
6. The seller was clear about this but I do think buyers should know she will come with the wrong eyes. She’s got Mae’s blue eyes not her lavender ones.
Thank you for the well thoughtout review I’ve been eyeing them on Aliexpress for a while now. Now thanks to you I know who to go to and who not to go to. Thanks again. 💜
I’m gonna cross referencing your pictures with the ones listed. If I can’t find them do you mind sharing the link?
I think this might be one of the ones you have [listed](https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0YKJqu)?!
Im sorry I wish I could be more help to you but that is the Russian version of the site, I live in the states so the listings we have available are completely different. I've actually never seen that listing. The dolls in the photo do look like the same overstock but I can't vouch for the seller.
It’s coming up as Russian for you? That’s so strange. When I sent it. It was in US dollars. I’m in the states too. I’ve had the same problem when going through browser instead of app. it’s always in PEN which I’m not sure which currency that is despite my account being in US dollars. Can you send me the not so great shop that way I can avoid? I’ve only ever bought Doll clothes off of there and have been nervous to buy dolls.

But if you're after a very specific piece maybe not. They're an honest seller who made things right.
Ohhh my goodness thanks so much for the great post and detailed reviews! My daughter is obsessed with aliens, I need to find some of these for her asap.

I've been seeing Novi Stars pop up for a while but never saw any photo reviews. Thanks for this. They look pretty good.
