Angel of Dream (AOD) 1/4 size discussion thread Part 2

@Overdrive-Angel Here's Angel of Dream white (left) and normal yellow (right). Both bodies are from 2013. The white body was cleaned and coated a year ago with Testors Dullcote, while the yellow body never has been.

Spoiler: Another Image

 

Wow, thanks a million, this works as a fantastic reference, exactly what I needed!

 

@Overdrive-Angel you're welcome. I'm happy to help. If you have any questions about the color differences, please let me know. I also have a Normal Pink body. I really liked the Angel of Dream bodies, so I got them in a few colors.

 

I have an Angel of Dream Fei coming soon! I think. I was surprised because I thought she would take longer o_o

(she'll be in normal pink skin)

Aaah I'm a bit anxious to see how she looks up close :3 so exciting! I only have two other dolls this size. I know these dolls are considered smallish, but they're the largest ones in my collection

 

Congrats @bentosmile! I am a huge fan of the Fei sculpt and hope you will share pics.

 

@ophelia She is coming naked and without a faceup just a wig, so pics might be a bit barebones! I didn't expect her to arrive for ages so I'm totally unprepared. (need a proper mask for safety when doing faceups, but they're hard to get right now because people have bought them all up! Eep!)

 

I'm excited for you! I hope she will arrive soon n_n

 

Hi everyone!! I have a question related to Angel of Dream Chi, My question is I was wondering if they ever released a human version of this sculpt...? I am buying one and he comes with CoA, he is very old, from over a decade ago -- but when I look at him elsewhere he has elf ears and fangs! Seller says he was never modded. Is there a possibility they released a human version?

 

I don't recall there being a human version but maybe? I have a tan Chi from 2008 (Moswen) and he's a gorgeous sculpt. He's also STILL my favourite doll after all that time and I own 71 dolls.

 

If I had to guess, the seller probably misremembered the sculpt name (it's not hard to do, I have plenty I forget); I also have a Chi from 2008 that I love, and he definitely has elf ears and little fangs

 

That definitely could be, they have several other AoD dolls lol. But I did ask, and they said they were fairly sure he was Chi. They purchased him in person from Alice88th, which is so cool! I wish there were more in person doll stores, lol. Anyway, I guess I will see once he gets here and I'll post pictures His lips, nose and eyes all look like Chi -- so who knows! Guess it will be a fun mystery!

 

Maybe he is a modded Chi? That is a possibility, too.

 

I have Fei, too! I hope she arrived safely!

 

Fei really brings back old memories. The very first BJD I ever photographed was
a Fei that belongs to our friend Deb. One of my first BJDs was an AoD Lan. Here
is my Lan with Deb's Fei.

they look lovely. I like how the background looks like the drop that they do for school pictures or at least how used to look when I was in school

Is AoD doing ok?
I seems a lot of dealers stopped carrying them? They're not up on Legenddoll anymore. The only place I can still find them is Alice Collections.

 

I haven't seen them anywhere else, either. maybe they're having trouble because getting supplies or the over swamped with back orders? maybe they got covid and can't work now?

 

I've only seen them on Alice for a while unfortunately. I still recommend them as my favorite 1/4 bjds. They were my first. I noticed they have new 3rd body types now. The jointing system changed. May have better positioning etc. but definitely a different aesthetic overall. Similar to the faces changing over time, being remolded I guess. I haven't gotten a new one or seen anyone with one yet.

 

I certainly hope they don't go anywhere, I still have plans to get a Fei eventually! ;_;

 

I still toy with the idea of getting a pair of their skeleton hands for my SD Vito Azreal.
