Thank you very much!

I'm pretty pleased with him, even if he is still missing his head cap. He came together pretty quickly, even though I didn't have a plan for him.

I'm still working on his story, and trying to figure out who he is. He's not been very forthcoming about who he is - however he's definitely shown a love for dress clothes. He may be the one that finally pushes me to order a suit (or at least a vest).

Does anyone know what wig size Chi takes? I'm really worried that the wig he's been using will be too small once he finally gets a new head cap.

 

I have a Chi but he's from 2008 and I understand that they changed the sculpts ever so slightly between then and now. Moswen wears a 7/8 and it fits him just fine. I'm sorry but I don't remember where I got the wig from though as that's a good... 6 years ago. I have recently received a Monique wig for another doll and it is just so soft that I'm toying with the idea of getting Moswen a new wig from Monique.

 

[MENTION=28890]Iron_Dog[/MENTION] I appreciate your reply! The wig Cade's been wearing is a 6-7 from ForMyDoll, and I'm hoping it'll stretch enough to still fit him. There's a 7 and an 8 stamped inside his head on either side of the S-hook, but I wasn't sure if that was his wig measurement or not

 

I don't think I'd be able to get a 6/7 on Moswen's head. But, like I mentioned, AoD has changed the sculpt a little so it's possible the more current head is a smidge smaller than their old ones.

 

Actually, Maren (my Chi) is from about the same time as Moswen, and has been wearing a 6/7 Kemper wig all this time, after I didn't like his original one. It's a snug fit, but it got on him and stayed there, so assuming head sizes didn't change too terribly much (and didn't go bigger), a 6/7 might actually fit, [MENTION=64602]Alchemist's Fire[/MENTION]!

I really need to get through all the blank dolls here so I can refresh my two AoDs. I love them, but they just look so old against all my newer ones... and it's really the difference in faceup and blushing work I'm doing since I did the two of them ages ago. They need the full spa treatment, a complete cleaning and full blushing with new faceups, new strings, new eyes and new wigs.

 

Thanks [MENTION=27163]vicemage[/MENTION]!! Very good to know Cause this wig is so perfect for him and I don't want to have to change it or order another one D:

I really need to work on his backstory, I barely know who the little guy is. He's got a wardrobe and some shoes, but I wanna get him a few more things, maybe s'more dress shirts. I'm just sad one of the pairs of big clunky boots I have didn't fit him, his calves were too thick.

Also, has anyone else noticed the really awesome torso/pelvic joint these guys have? I haven't seen that in a waist joint before!

 

Mine are both quite old, actually (both from 2008), so if you care to share some pictures of the jointing, [MENTION=64602]Alchemist's Fire[/MENTION], I'd love to see how it's modified from the old style!

 

I have absolutely no idea how old my boy is, and no idea how to tell. He was something a friend got in a trade, and she doesn't collect MSDs so she just gave him to me (cause I have mostly MSDs). I don't know anything about him except that he's a Chi and apparently he's normal yellow xDDD

But yes, I will try and get a half-decent photo of that joint.

Oh oh, and I found out I can get a head cap for him through Alice's Collections for $8!

 

Hi all! I've kind of dropped from the hobby for a while but I've been getting back into it slowly and I'd like to get my 2nd first doll from AOD but...... The site is down for "stocktaking"? Is this common for them, how long does it last? I know I can order through Alice collections but I wanted to compare pricing/shipping from the AOD site...

 

Kemper wigs are much stretchier than most wigs I have quite a few of them on some of my dolls. I think I had to get a 7-8 monique wig though for my Rao. 101i74 I noticed that a week ago as well so not quite sure.

 

It's been down for several months, 6 or more, not sure what is going on.

 

No not that long, I remember looking at the site at most a couple months ago, everything was there. I really want to order but the site being down makes me wonder if they're still gonna make and sell the dolls. Anybody here order in the last month?

Edit: I just sent a message to AC to see if they know anything. Will let you guys know what's up.

I was one the site about... 2 weeks ago and everything was fine. I didn't order anything but stuff was displayed and I was able to navigate no problem.

 

Ok wow they already replied! So fast!

"Thank you for your email.
I think they're having technical issue on their site, they're still accepting orders. And we're receiving dolls from them well

The waiting time of an AOD doll is usually around 1 month ^^"

Alice collections is awesome.

Edit: I went ahead and placed my order, can't wait! Got a NS Shang Nai with small bust!

 

Hello everyone, please excuse my newby noob noobishness. I recently ordered my first BJD, yay, and shes from AOD, I was wondering if anyone has a Chun Zhe sculpt? Thats the one I've ordered but I've found it hard to find anything of her that doesnt have the factory faceup.
All your dolls are so beautiful, I really cant wait till she comes!!

 

Not the best photo, but I just finished a new dress for my girl, Egami. She's a dollzone Annie hybrid on an aod body, in white skin.

 

My AOD An which has gotten some eye modding and is harshly yellowed from previous owner. He's cutsomized to look like Jack Frost from Rise of the Guardians, he just needs a new wig sometime soon
