☆~~ Granado Doll Discussion Part 18 ~~☆

He looks like my V11.

 

It is V-11

Exactly

 

I'm pondering on Granado in either of the tan options for my Volks Regulus head who is in bronze. Does anyone have any experience of these options? I'm guessing it's between Amber and Bronze, and looking at the bronze comparison further up the thread, it does look very dark - perhaps too dark... But I'd be interested to know if anyone has hybrided Volks bronze or shadow skin with Granado...

Thanks!

 

@Alice80 Granado have done custom colour orders in the past – I'd suggest emailing them and asking if that's a service they still offer, as many dollmakers no longer mix custom colours.
If they do, they'd likely require a physical sample of your desired colour. Some people send the doll's headcap, but that has the risk of it being lost in the post. Other people have gone to hardware stores and gotten a paint colour card sample that closely matches the resin, and sent that to the dollmaker.

 

Thank you! I'm going to visit a friend who has a variety of skin colours to see if any of them come close, but if that doesn't work, then I think your idea is a good one...

 

Noah (and the big Iple girls) in their first 2026 photoshoot. He did have a boo-hoo and fell on some plants while at it, even though he's usually the most solid poser of the three.

Sometimes they just want to be a little dramatic
They look lovely!!

 

True! I mean, this guy who's on solid boots with good traction suddenly decided he wanted to kiss the hoyas, while his companions (one in heels, and the other just leaning against the stand on heeled feet but no shoes) were being well-behaved for the day.

 

Kissing the hoyas is a great way to put it
Urgh I need to pull out my Granados and give them some love, it's been too long. Everyone's still in their winter clothes.

 

I have a Tan Neptune, but I don't think I have ever taken a photo of him. I was going through a hard time when he arrived and I didn't even take the box opening photos of him, and then I dropped out of the hobby for a few years after getting him. Maybe I've been afraid of bonding with him for remembering that time, or because he was so dang expensive and I feel guilty for spending so much, I'm not sure. But, if anyone here would be interested to see him, maybe if he joined in friendship the other Granado 'kinfolk', he would get more attention from me. I have come to realize now that he has earned his place in the 'crew' because he has had a cozy central spot in the display cabinet all this time holding up anyone less stable, lol, and I would miss him otherwise. He is one of the few of my doll family that I know by a name, and not just by the sculpt: Big Uncle "Shaggy."

 

@Valdemagra we'd love to see him. Sometimes playing with a doll is a good way to dispel bad memories.

 

Fellow Neptune fan! Yes I'd love to see him!

 

Yes! Please, I'd like to see him.

 

okay! It's a sunny day, and I've no excuses! I'll be back in a few hours with some photos!

 

Ah, who's that knocking at my door?

Gee, I'm not dressed yet! Alas, no time now! *pulls robe tighter*

Hey! Welcome! It's so good to see you!

For me? *deeply inhales the scent* Thank you so much!
What a wonderful way to start my day! You're the Best!
