Angel Of Dream (AoD) 60cm Discussion - Part 2

@Chelokotik Oh! Thank you for reminding me, I completely forgot! I did take some nicer photos at one point, but i'd lost them in a hard-drive failure. I would take new ones, but the body has since been dyed, so it might not be quite as helpful as reference now. I do still have some quick photos I took of the new body for a friend though!



And
Here's a basic fullbody shot
And here's a bit of a closeup of the torso details

 

This is a AOD body? or a different company? It doesn't look familiar

 

@Kitty Blue That's AoD's newest body. It's this one here, Doll Parts, Angel of Dream - BJD, BJD Doll, Ball Jointed Dolls - Alice's Collections.

I originally thought I'd ordered the ver.1 body, but realize I actually have the ver.2. Which is fine as I like the look of it more.

 

@Kitty Blue Yes, it is! The link that @Cloudedmind linked is correct. It's their new Ver.II 62cm boy body. Its difficult to really tell because the company photos aren't very clear.

 

thanks I haven't looked at the body section in a while...I like the new joints and that its just a 2 part torso, always felt that the hip joint was pretty pointless..lol. I wonder if they will be doing the same with the girl 60cm body, that would be pretty cool I feel like I need to put wire in the arms of my girls body.

On a side note did they change their normal resin color? I just received a Mu Yanzi head and she is sooooo pale compared to the body that I just got last year brand new (maybe it was 2yrs can't remember) do you think it could yellow that quickly? though maybe it was just due to different resin batch.

 

Forgot to mention here since I'm not as active much these days-
I ordered Bailey (AoD Meng Li) on the 4th and got the shipping notif on... the 20th... I think? Either way that's wicked fast, but apparently this is fairly close to normal for AoD judging by the waiting room thread. I'm super excited!!!

I ordered her with default faceup(which I'm hoping will be close to the pics but I can deal if it isn't) and the medium bust. I'm hoping it won't be too hard to find clothes for her... I've been more active in the vinyl side of the hobby so all my patterns are for the Dollfie-Dream-and-similar sized dolls. Anyone have recs for clothing sources for AoD girls? I can defs go by measurements but I figured I'd ask since I'm not super experienced in finding clothes for dolls that don't have an obvious standard. Going to see if I can find comparisons to Volks SD or SD13(???) first because there seems to be more out there for those standard sizes.

Bailey has been my dream doll since I first joined the hobby... around 10 or so years at this point! As I got more into the hobby I found other dolls that seemed more worthwhile at the time, back when $300 seemed like A Lot To Spend On A Doll- but now she's finally coming home! Oh man am I excited oh man oh man--

(my only worry is a minor one, that if they can complete the doll in 16 days there might be some issue with quality, faceup or otherwise- but on the other hand I've seen nothing but good stuff about what people here have been getting, so hopefully it's just the doll-waiting jitters ;; )

 

Hey just an update, I've been super busy but Bailey arrived on the 24th! Her faceup is nearly identical to the official pics which is awesome, there's a small scratch on her chin but that's due to a mishap unboxing which is definitely my fault.

Currently she's on a shelf in my room where I can see how pretty she is, but I plan to do more with her once I get her some clothes and am not as busy. I might share some box opening pics later but for now here she is!

Unfortunately I'm on mobile so all I have is a tumblr link for now! I still need to find a good image hosting service tbh.

 

Finally sculpted the horns for my FFXIV girl onto my zimei and they look amazing

 

Congrats @Cattya ! She looks fantastic! They do a really great job with the faceups for sure. I love how they get to come home with something on, that's so nice of the company to be so thoughtful. I'm happy for you she arrived safe and sound home.

@FenTreefern Congrats on your horns! That sounds like a great accomplishment!

 

Maybe someone here knows the answer, I've been looking into the big AOD boys recently and I found a website for the dealer Wamami (I'm fairly certain I remember them being a legit dealer, but correct me if I'm wrong). I saw they were selling the Izumi head, but in the pictures for it, they showed two different heads, the regular one and then one with lidded eyes. I can't find any information on the lidded eye version of that head anywhere else and there's nothing on other dealer sites about it. So, does anyone know if that head is actually available for purchase or not?

 

This is so nice! Thank you so much for your pictures! What can you say about the body? I'm very curious but not a big fan of AoD older bodies.

 

I received my Wu Shuang, NP, Small bust bout two months back. I love her very much
She's only my second doll and was a bit of an impulse buy, but zero regrets!
I have only found a few other owners of her, would love to see if anyone else's

 

I just got my order from Alice's Collections and managed to put my hybrid together. I chose the new AoD body for two reasons. First, the price, obviously... And second, the sculpt. I like lanky guys without overly wide arms, etc. Boys not men So, anyway, here's a small comaprison in case one's wondering if this body would make a goot match for a lonely BJD girlfriend :P Also, the sleepy blonde is a petite boy!!!

What the posing like on the new 62cm body?

The sculpting is great so if he’s a solid little poser it’d be a dream, especially at that price

 

He's an awesome poser imo And the joints are all aesthetically pleasing. The sculpting is so cute It's the cheapest and yet one of the prettiest bodies on the market!

 

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.

 

Hey everyone I know this thread is sorta dead but I'm really wanting to get the new boy body for one of my switch heads. The head is in powder beige and I just want to know which AOD color would match better, the pink or the yellow? I feel like both of them are a bit off but if anyone can take pictures for me I'd super appreciate it!

 

Hi all! I want to buy an AOD Shi with faceup, and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if the faceup is similar to the website and how it holds up? Bonus points for pictures!

 

I know it's not the same thing, but my Meng Li arrived with a faceup just like in her listing pictures that were probably taken... close to a decade before the time I ordered her? So it seems that their faceup artists are pretty good at imitating the pictures! Take this with a grain of salt though, because this was around 2 years ago and things may have changed since (like they could have different artists now or some such, maybe)-- but faceups aren't forever, in any case, so if you really don't like what you get you can probably find someone to commission for something closer (though many artists don't make exact copies of others' work on principle, opinion varies in regards to official company standard faceups, so you could ask around). It would suck for your wallet if you shell out for a company faceup and it doesn't work out, but like I said- my Meng Li was near exact, so while it's up to you, I'd say it's worth a try if you like the company one.
