1/3 Telesthesia Dolls

What a MAN. While not something I'm looking for right now but it's nice to have the variety. Maybe some day a character with this body type will be exactly what I'm looking for

 

Those tiddies!!

I love his face it reminds me of Lemoon heads perial or licit. But thankfully I have no use for him at 85cm. I love big himbo boys though so if they make one a 75cm size then I will be interested. Would be a good body for Toji (I'm shelling alot of JJK characters lol).

Also thank you for confirming @AntarelNefertili , appreciate all the help!

 

I don't like the chest... The 2D body is fine, but this is too much for me, My eyes can't handle this much, looks like balloons about to burst My doll size limit is at 75cm. I get it's trending now, but male dolls just seem to go bigger and bigger, and more and more hulk like. I worry soon they'll really burst like an over inflated balloon!

Maybe it's just me who just can't quite get on board with the larger is better. It feels almost like a culture shock, only that this is dolls. I guess I really struggle to get used to suddenly everything goes larger and larger

 

Ahaha, I don't mind seeing muscular bodies for variety (have yet to see a muscle girl I like), but @manabusama you are not alone with being at two minds with the "bigger is better" trend. Hopefully it poses as good as the photos, because that's a huge make or break for me.

Apart from difficulty in finding pre-made clothes and shoes, you can only get so heavy before the weight overcomes the string tension. I've seen two Dollmore Trinities at a doll meet once, and even sitting needed careful support lest they tumble over.

 

I don't mind muscle bodies XD The T&D 75cm body look great! But the 85cm one's chest were too much chest for me I guess that's how some bodybuilders end up looking, but whenever I see a chest like that I can't get the mental image out of my head they are like chest balloons, and when it crosses a certain size it start feeling more like the dude have female boobs!

The 2D Doll 83cm body is fine too, althought the size is still too tall for me. It at least got a bit more what I personally feel is ok for a body builder muscle man chest. But all that said, it's still going to be fun see owner pictures when it comes. Sometimes owner pictures is what it takes to change ones mind about something

Never seen a Trinity or Lusion personally, but I can imagine they are both very large!

 

Yes, completely agreed!

Another thing about having bulkier bodies is, don't they tend to be more limiting in terms of posability as well?

I'm already struggling carrying my 70+cm doll boy around, I can't imagine 80+cm and above.

I'm not a fan of this "bigger is better" trend. But I understand why they're doing this. There's only so much "new" body sculpts they can create within the 60-75cm body range, if they were to create something new that would pique the interest of BJD collectors, they could only go bigger and bulkier.

 

@Bubbleteaddict You would think the big size would limit them but The Voice dolls are bulky too and they are great posers. But I I do think that particular artist put in a lot more work to make sure the body was that way. They even come with silicone pads in the joints. Mine can lean back in heeled shoes and keep poses really well.

I don't have any TD bodies yet (ordered the 74cm one back in November for my R.Dean head) so I don't have a bases of comparison just yet to say what kind of posers they are or if the construction is similar to The Voice to work for bigger models. But at least I can say it's possible for big muscly boys to be more flexible and not stiff. I guess we will have to wait on owner photos/reviews to see how the 85cm body turns out.

 

Posing has more to do with balancing the weight and gravity, and positions of elastic through the channels as well as careful mechanics for joints. Not much to do with size. I have small and large dolls that pose well and small and large dolls that pose terribly.

I like the posing of the 74cm body btw.

 

Thanks for that insight @Mahgiep makes sense! Also more excited for my 74cm body now

 

Yea, a well-engineered body will outdo a lighter one, if done properly. For the record, I have a hefty guy from another company (Granado), and he strikes a good balance between form and function. Then again, he came with silicone kips, which I later changed up to full sueding because I got annoyed with repeatedly retrieving wayward kips from inside joint channels.

Speaking of silicone kips, if one looks at the 85cm body pics in ACBJD, one will notice that T&D added them to the shoulder sockets. Wonder if they'll send those in with every order.

 

When the body arrives please show us how it looks that R.Dean head I'm very curious because it really stressed me thinking that the only match would be a ID70-ID75 body, And if my favorite heads go on sale again, I would love to have an alternate body in mind

 

Will do! T&D are very nice, I bought it on TaoBao through Bhiner. They knew I was matching another artists head so they wanted pictures etc and wanted to know neck sizes so they could make sure it would be a good match. I'm really excited to get him! Will be sure to spam pics!

 

Rong You by ManabuLi010, on Flickr

My Rong You is moving closer to getting complete. He got his new hair and hanfu outfit, but am currently on a temporary DZ 62cm body, until I'm able to order his T&D 62cm body. He's in normal pink, but DZ's normal pink is a bit more yellow in tone, but that may very well also be it have yellowed since I bought that body back in 2018.

Oneday he'll get a more boyish ginger faceup and be heavilly freckled from head to toe

 

Can anyone confirm how their stable their resin color batches are for either of their normal resin colors? I’m debating grabbing a couple heads first before committing to bodies later.

 

I think my Telesthesia boy is easily the softest/smoothest resin doll in my collection. He's like holding a cloud. He poses really nicely too, makes me want another one. And that new boy Ah Fu, that really big 75cm guy, I definitely want him someday as I am a fan of big dolls.

 

Can anyone share an IRL comparison of their pink vs yellow resins?

 

Anybody gonna get the new guy
Poet Hai Gu. I think he’s so nice…but I can’t decide if I’m gonna get the company face up. It looks so good in photos,but I wonder if it will look the same.

 

I saw photos of a Telesthesia doll with a default face-up recently and it only looks like the promo photos if you squint. It’s not very detailed either. So I think TD either heavily photoshops their promo photos or does a different face-up for the shoots. The promos are quite misleading…

 

I was afraid of that…I’ve never gotten a company face up by them,so I haven’t seen it in person. But I have seen some photos by other people that didn’t look very good.

 

if anyone owns a 62cm male and 74-75cm body would you be able to post some comparison photos? i feel like 68cm would be to tall for my shorter character but i fear 62cm is going to be too short
