Alice in Labyrinth 1/3 Doll Discussion

You shouldn't have to srestring her just to change the head. I'll show you how it's done when you come over to see my dolls.

Opening it up to things marketed for other types of doll gives you a range of different options - Boneka shoes are sold by measurement of foot, not specific dolls they're made for.

These are Bonkea shoes she's wearing here too....

Looking forward to that!

I just went ahead and bought a pair of Mary Janes from Boneka shoes! I wanted to get the same one as the red one you have in the photo but in dark red color, but i think it's out of stock

 

One more question!

When I got Alice, she didn't come with a COA(which I now know it's a thing). Is that normal for dolls from AiL?
I doubt I need to be worried about her being a recast though since I bought her directly from AiL website...

 

Yes! I have that little card as well, not sure if that's a COA though. from what I have seen COA would include a lot number and what have you.

Yes, it's this one from Angell Studio: Elina Victoria Dress Fullset -Blue snow
To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't recommend it. Considering the price, the quality isn't actually that great...
The dress is pretty much half broken. The little buttons on her cuffs are pretty much gone, and the ribbon on the hat came loose really easily(I did manage to fix it, but still)...The worst is, the fabric on the dress started pilling, which surprised me as well considering it's synthetic material...

 

Does anyone happen to have a recent comparison of Volks pure normal skin and AiL normal skin?
I've scoured this thread and flickr already but only found references to AiL changing their skin colours over the years, so the match isn't that good anymore.
I love the way this body looks for a hybrid of mine, now if only there's a decent colour match...!

 

My AiL Heyley head is on a Volks normal skin Seirei body and my normal skin Volks Kujo head is on an AiL Body with no glaring difference in colour...

But I don't insist on an exact match because real people don't match exactly between the colour of their faces and the colour of their bodies (bodies are covered and shielded from the elements far more than faces are so most people's faces are different shades than their bodies), so it actually looks more realistic to have a slight mismatch between the two.

Oh wow, thanks for the fast reply! That's definitely a very good match, I didn't even think this was a hybrid!

And your Hayley wears such a pretty dress!

 

@Teddy She is so very beautiful, and looks like an antique bisque doll, I love how doll like she is! You put her together beautifully, and I dont think Ive seen a Heyley before

Ive been wanting to get a doll (Aya and Alice sleeping - now probably a Heyley too!) from them, but Im waiting for the heel foot to be released before I place my order (.....and im kind of perpetually broke from the amazing doll releases........!!!)

Ive asked a few days ago but they havent finished the foot yet, I do love what I see on instagram

 

You're welcome. I just happened to have the picture already and could find it easily.

{laugh!} Thanks. It's not one of her usual dress(she favours red clothes) but it was the only one with a low enough neckline to show the colour match properly. Usually she's more like this:

Thank you! That's pretty much the look I was aiming for. She's part of a LARGE extended family of Victorian children.

I should warn you that mine is not the usual Heyley sculpt - she's had her upper lip modded on the inside of the mouth so it doesn't dip down so much.

You do realize that the AiL body is quite childlike, don't you? I only ask becuase wanting high-hel feet might mean you want a more mature/grown-up body.

I bought it because it works as a little-girl body for one of the younger girls in my SD sized family (it's shorter than Volks SD10 as well, which helps getting some height variation among the girls in the the family).

Teddy

 

could anyone tell me what size neck the ail head fit? i can't find it anywhere.

 

@Enchiridion The AIL heads fits most regular SD bodies- bodies with 9cm'ish necks for the girls and 10cm'ish for the boys (even tho I have a boy head on a SD girl body with a 9cm neck- works Ok).
I think AIL recommend Volks SD bodies for their heads, so anything in that size will work.

 

Anyone knows if there is any other companys, besides volks that match the resin and proportion of AIL 1/3 heads ?
I´m also interested in head stands that can match the heads too.

 

I have mine on a Maskcat body and it looks great. ^^

 

I got my body off dollyteria and I don't remember if it said what color the body was I'm sorry.
