20cm Orientdolls

I'll ask them then :3

he came!
he looks really differnt then in the sites pics, and his resin color resembles and oldskin bluefairy. he's also super tight right now. working on his face up right now, all he really needs is a bit of gloss and eyelashes.
he came with candy, eyes and eyeputty too! I almost thought they had forgotten the eyes cause they weren't in the doll box, but the box that he had been shipped in.
silly me XD
right now he's hiding in my desk.

 

I'm in the market for a tiny and am considering a Joong of some sort- could anyone tell me how well they do with posing though? I have an OD Tae and though he's gorgeous, I'm disappointed with his posing compared with other BJDs- he has a tough time standing or holding any sort of pose other than sitting. It might just be his stringing or his own individual issues, but I'd like to know if Joongs are having the same problems before I buy another OrientDoll

 

his arms hold about any position, and I think his legs will pose better once I loosen his stringing.

 

I am also contemplating a Joong for my first bjd. Is it hard to loosen strings...how is it done? How come they don't come right to begin with for the cost especially?

 

pfft, it's not hard to loosen stuff up if you willing to be a little creative. you can restring to doll with either a strechier elastic or a longer loop, or you take off the feet and attach them back with longer loops of string. joong's hands and feet are looped onto the main elastic with string, so I just used embrodery floss and replaces the string with longer ones.
and don't complain about them not doing it right for the cost. it makes me want to smack people, because it is people who are stringing, not a programmed machine.
and alot of times how tight or loose a doll is depends on a person's tastes. some like floppy, some like very tight, and sometimes you just can't tell how it's going to work out with a doll and elastic loosens over time.
and for the price, I'm amazed he comes very very well finished and strung. I can barely find any seams.

 

Really? I'm sorry to hear it. I have Tae, Il, Hong, and Ji, and they all stand quite easily.

Tae I've had the longest, and he can express different moods or characters with his standing stance. When I get his and Il's 'Cavlier' outfits made, I'm sure it will be more than their coloring and molds that will tell the boys apart.
He can curl up fairly well.
Tae sits with his torso at an angle, a fault easily traced to the one-piece torso; non-OD one-piece torso'd dolls also sit with their backs angled. Looks relaxed with something behind the back, or awkward just leaning into space.

Ji tends to fall off his riding cat, but he is a bit of a daredevil and may be doing foolish things to encourage his own falling off.

I've noticed something with rion (besides the face his legs refuse to cooperate with me) that he seems to have a "crack" right behind his boybits.

my poor boy is a hermaphrodite XD

 

Maybe I should give OD another shot then . . . it seems like we're having problems with our Tae that haven't been an issue for anyone else. After extensive wiring and sueding, AND reshaping the hooks in his ankles, he stands decently, but not "with ease" by any means He got shipped out so fast that I've joked he must have something they had lying in the reject pile ready to go . . . I'm starting to wonder . . . My boyfriend and I are looking at one of the Joongs as an anniversary gift to each other, and I'd just hate it if he had the same problems. I'll take everyone's word for it that he shouldn't though

 

My Tae isn't the best at standing either, but my So's don't have the problems my Tae has, so maybe it's just something with that specific mould?

Are the Joongs in the same size range as the Lucy dolls?

 

Comparing the measurements from Joong to Heart's Lucy and Joong is wider than Lucy with a much bigger noggin'. They are about the same height. I'm betting Joong can wear the Licca clothing that's too big for her. (that's me trying to talk myself out of a Joong!)

 

I'm considering getting a Joong as a child companion for my Serendipity Alice. Would they look 'in proportion' next to each-other (slender MSD and 20cm doll) I'm really not sure about it Or would the Joong look 'too small'?

 

Aw thanks ^^ that will be excellent to see! I'm sorely tempted to impulse buy one though Honestrabbit is ordering his Tae tomorrow, and I could get one with his and split the shipping! The temptation...

Edit: I've emailed Honestrabbit to ask him to put in an order for an OD Choo for me! Oh dear...I was so sure I was going to be able to resist a Joong as well!

 

congratulations!

since Carolyn did such a cute mockup I am stealing her idea (hope you don't mind!)

this is Ha 'wearing' a leekeworld wig and a hanbok (that I have for sale...)




edit: hey there is a new double post preventer thing! yay!

 

Woo! Congrats on Haku ^^

Just received news that my little Choo has been shipped with Honestrabbit's Tae I better start getting clothes! What have you found that fits your Haku? I've got some Blythe shoes and a Licca dress already for her...hope they fit ><

 

Ooh thanks! I'm going to buy some Blythe dresses tonight from Mimiwoo

Will love to see pics!
