Angel Region Little Fair Discussion part 1

my ren poses really well. here's a picture of her posing before i sent her head away to get painted

 

I think AngelRegion was/is selling some optional hands, but I've only seen them on the Korean site. I think there were "fist" hands like desdisques got and "scissor" hands (a peace sign maybe?), and maybe the praying hands that Present Ren came with? I looked at it through Babelfish and had to interpret it from that though, so don't quote me on any of it. ops:

Probably they'll sell extra hands through the international site at some point too.

 

In my opinion the shape of the kid delf hands doesn't really suit the little fair wrists. I just tried my elf Ani's optional hands on the little fair body, and I just wasn't terribly pleased with the look. Tomorrow I can do it again and take a picture, though it won't be entirely right, since the arm strings would have to be tightened due to the difference in the hand styles.

 

It was just words, that's why I'm not certain what exactly the hands are... ops: PoJ Ren came with "rock" hands, I don't know if those are the same as the "fist" hands (though if you get them with the "scissor" and "outspread" hands you could play Rock Paper Scissors! ), but there are a couple of people here who have PoJ Ren so they could say.

I'm looking for the page on the Korean and Japanese sites but I'm having trouble finding it...maybe I hallucinated it. Right now I'm digging through the sold-out section on the Japanese site (which seems to be arranged at total random) in an effort to prove to myself that I'm sane...I'll let you know if I find it!

I'm pretty certain the optional hands will go up at some point. They put up the heads and the UFK, after all, and it's not like it's a country-specific thing like some of the dolls are. You could ask on their Q+A board if you really want to know (though they probably won't be able to give a specific date, probably just "this October" or "next December" or "later this week"). Right now the best idea would probably be to find someone who got a doll with optional hands and see if they're willing to sell them. ops:

 

does anyone has some pictures or words comparing the male and female angel region little fair bodies.

is the boy body thinner in the hips and wider in the shoulders? who has thinner legs? are they almost the same? is the boy taller? what sort of alterations might have to be made to wearing the other genders' clothing?

tell me all that you can please!

 

Yay its coming in handy ^_^

In words, let's see..
Boy body is thinner in the waist and hips. A tight fitting shorts on a boy will not fit a girl.
Comparison of thighs/legs .. i think the difference is negligible. Tho I swear a pair of bloomers I made using a boy model feels tighter on a girl. She might have slightly bigger thighs ^_^;;

Boys are taller in the torso, thighs part and mostly in the calves part.
I think arms-wise both are the same (tho I'm not sure abt this, I'll double check when home.. just in case interchanging long sleeved clothings)

 

The bust/shoulder area is about the same, just different sculpting, my girl has her nipple showing when wearing tight tops ^_^; Where the boys dont have this issue..

Okay Rathi's in pieces right now, but my boy measures 8 and 1/2" from top of the thighs to the foot. 10 and 1/2" from waist-joint to foot. (You might want to minus a bit cos the waist joint is quite high for the pants to sit .. Anything else, just ask~

 

No. The bodies are not sanded.
The Basic Kits do come with make-up. Only the UFK don't.
I think the average wait time is around a month, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
I think they're coated, my Jade came coated anyway, but he was limited.

They're got a fairly wide range of posing-ness. The main gripe I think are the hands (very odd pinky) and it's a bit hard to pose them sometimes. Otherwise I think they pose very well. On some of the older dolls there's limited head movement without a washer, but the newer ones don't seem to have this problem.

 

They bodies aren't sanded
They come with makeup

I'm not sure the wait time for the real AR site, as I got my doll from an american site
My boys body isn't coated, but his face is

And he poses rather well. He can stand on his own and what not.
I DO want to to seude him though, as his stringing is really tight. so he snaps back sometimes @ 3@

 

Do the bodies come sanded?--Nope (not unless the state it with the doll, normally they are not sanded but the seams are really not that bad)
I'm assuming there is no makeup on them, unless they're a LE?--They all come with a default makeup. It is set in the price.
What's the average wait time for AR?--Hmmm since I had a limited it was about 7 to 8 weeks. But if it is a regular doll a month or less.
Are they coated?--Not that I can see with the body ,but the face sure is.
-What's the posability like? --They can stand very well with little effort, with shoes or bare footed. The head turns easy too. Not floppy or stiff, just that you can turn it the way you want it. My Ren poses pretty well, but I do think his left arm might be strung too tight so it doesn't like to bend as easy and doesn't like to hold a pose. His right arm is better.

 

The boy doll is taller by 1cm. The boy is 44cm while the girl is 43.

 

According to the site measurements, the girls also have slightly slimmer shoulders and waists, and slightly wider hips. I've been able to share clothes between my LF girl and my friend's LF boys just fine though. The difference is so slight that probably even a super-fitted outfit could fit both girls and boys.

 

I think that dolls ordered while AngelRegion is really busy (like the Present Jades, the Natural Tanning dolls, etc.) tend to be badly strung. My friend has a Present Ren who stands beautifully (both he and my White Baby Ren can stand on one foot ), but her Present Jade 2 and NT Kai were apparently both strung pretty badly and could barely stand. Maybe Angel doesn't string their dolls as well during during rush periods?

If it helps, she coated her Jade and said that somehow just doing that helped him to stand much better (friction from the coating maybe?).

 

That's quite a possibility and makes sense they might rush the stringing during busy periods.

My Nik needed a good bit of tinkering before he could even stand for more than a few seconds at all. He was so bad I wanted to fling him out the window. But his legs are wired now and he's nice and steady.
My Jade stands just fine, but he can't do much in the way of posing. It's pretty much stand and move his arms around. lol When I think of how well a doll poses, I look for more than just being able to stand on their own. I guess I'm just spoiled by my Kid Delf who can hold the most amazing poses. ^^
Regardless, my Jade will be getting wired once I'm feeling unlazy enough to bother.

 

I agree! my Present Ren has great posability! can stand on one foot, can kick laptops and all that fun stuff, but when it comes to having his arms fully outspread, his left arm snaps in a bit, no matter how many times I try to get his arms to both stay straight at the same time, it rarely happens. anything else is VERY possible! I should try and see if he could stand on his head, he could probably do it! *in a sweet voice* hey Adriyn~!
Adriyn:what?
me: *big fat grin on face* come here sweetie!
Adriyn: oh no!

 

My Jade stands and holds poses very very well. He didn't come sanded, but the seams aren't bad and yes they come with faceups unless you buy an unfinished kit. I got my doll about a month after their order period for the present Jades ended, and my roommate got her doll (a basic kit Cien) three weeks after she ordered. My expereince is that they're very friendly and helpfull.

 

The shoes on the AR website (S) are made for the 44cm dolls. They are great quality and look even better in person. I just received two pair a couple weeks ago. It only took 5 days for the order to arrive to me!!!
AR has GREAT customer service!

The size small (or size S) shoes on AR will fit Ren -- up at the top of the shoes page there are three links to size S, size M, and size L. If you click on 'Size S' it'll only show the shoes that will fit him. (Most of the new shoes are Mary-Jane-style shoes, but if you click through a few pages you can get to the awesome boy/unisex shoes like Sunshine and Middle Ages.) And I agree, I LOVE their shoes -- I think they're better-made than most shoes for humans. :wink:

And that was more than anyone needed to know about AngelRegion's shoes. :grin:

I used their photoshop file for details. She'll have the silver bob wig and little sad eyebrows! I reserve the right to repaint her though. :-) Teehee! I originally ordered an extra angelica head but then I found the original release Angelica on YJP. They will be sisters. Eeeeeeeeeee!

I was so happy they had the option to add hands, I love the little fisty hands to pieces.
