☆~~ Granado Doll Discussion Part 18 ~~☆

He's lovely! How's he settling in with the rest of the crew?

 

Grey resin is a particular weakness of mine. I have 13? 14? grey dolls (I'd need to go count). I have a weakness for coloured resin in general if I'm being completely honest. Someone in my local group has a Vindoll in tan (not sure if it's tan/bronze) and he's a gorgeous colour. If they ever offered their 53cm again I'd probably go for him in the dark chocolate.

 

I actually have my Rumpeldoll Abaddon in dollshe grey. He is hybrided on the bronze vindoll body. It's a weird hybrid but somehow it works for him. Even though it is a very different colour and since I already have the vindoll in bronze I think I would want to be a bit more adventurous and get the Dark Lord sculpt in Syringa because he just look so awesome in that skintone.

I messaged Granado to ask if Dark Lord Enoch would become available to order this year but I got back that 'they had no plans for Halloween this year but you can check it after the Golden week 2022'. So I am not sure what that means?

I tried to look up Golden week but am at a loss as to what that means. So I messaged back to ask. I also asked whether just normal Enoch might be available instead?

We'll see.

 

Golden Week in China this year is October 1-7 (Golden Week in Japan was back in April 29-May 5). Korea celebrated Chuseok on September 10 and some Korean companies had special events for a three days to celebrate. A lot of companies will have some special event celebrating Golden Week if it's a thing in their country so perhaps that's what they mean?

 

Could be! Since they ship from China I assume they will mean after 1-7 October. Let's hope they will put him up for sale!

 

I just had a thing from Granado pop up in my email with the list of the re-releases for Golden Week. Unfortunately Dark Lord Enoch is not among those listed if that was the version you were pining for @AllyCat

No indeed, they also sent the email to me. But that is probably why they said *after* golden week

 

They do tend to do re-releases from time to time, so as long as you keep an eye out you'll be able to snag him!

 

That Golden Week sale got me - put in an order for Awim and his huge Titan body and a 70Adagio body to hybrid with a Doppel Maiden Beta head. Somehow these two have the honor of being the only guys in my collection so far. They're meant to shell some long-standing OCs of mine, but we'll see how long that intention lasts.

In the meantime, now would be great to learn how to sew - is there even anything out there that fits the Titan body?? Otherwise he'll be hiding in my yarn basket for a while...

 

I'll definitely be keeping an eye out!

Oooh I love it when people get to shell their OC's!

 

@Momotion aside from sewing things yourself there is very little out there for the titan bodies. However with my own titan guy I found Build-a-Bear boxers and shorts can work if you hand sew the tall holes in them closed. My titan guy rocks his Captain America boxers. (which is good as I'm still working out a pattern for what will be his main outfit.)

Side note to topic if anyone knows where I can find some black combat/work boots for a titan let me know, I've all but given up finding mine boots.

 

I don't have one but I'd assume because he's such a big guy, there's nothing out there for dolls that would fit. It might be an option to look into baby or toddler clothes and take them in a little where necessary. I remember waaaaaay back in the day when AoD first came out with their 90cm boys, some people had commented that the dolls could wear some clothes and shoes from Baby Gap.

There's also maybe the chance that something from the new line of giant boys (108cm) that Luts has made would fit although pants would def need to be shortened and long sleeves rolled up. Because the clothes are generally bigger to fit a taller guy they may fit over the very muscled body of the Titan. But that's total guess work on my part.

 

I'm so glad to see all your V-12 !!

I also received mine but I haven't had any time to customize him yet ><

 

@Quiet and Insane He is doing well, but I've been so occupied by other events that I've had them all on 'vacation'.

Thanks @Lawrichai I can't wait to see what you do with yours.

 

Speaking of clothes, my SartoriaJ clothing order has arrived after a three-month wait. I can verify that their 73Zeus outfits can be worn by Granado's 75Adagio, albeit a little short on the length where pants are concerned. It's not too obvious when the doll is standing, but it becomes really evident on sitting poses. (I remedied the problem on Guórén by making him wear long boots.)

You've definitely been busy the last few months

 

Did you try removing the seam from the bottom of the pants?
Well, I guess that begs the question - do the pant legs have bottom seams?

 

Nope, it would be too short either way. Hence I just left it as is rather than potentially ruin a perfectly good pair of pants.

 

Granado released Dark Lord Enoch again for this halloween event! So I just had to snatch him up right away I ordered him in Syringa and I am so excited!

How long does it usually take them to ship after ordering? I am already wayyy too excited!

 

It depends. My Syringa body took a little more than a month. My Michael three months last year, but they sped up the process recently. I received my Dark Enoch at the end of this January after ordering him last year in October.

Here's mine, now complete!

But I still have to take pictures of him on the Evol body.
