Angell-Studio Youth (58-61cm) and Charm (62-71cm) Discussion Vol. 3

I like to save pictures of fullsets and some outfits that I order so I have some guide when they arrive.

 

I've seen some Kelly unboxings on bilibili and she is gorgeous! Her outfits are so elaborate, reminds me a bit of Dollfie Dream Saber outfits. I wish I knew how long she'd be available for as a basic, I'm definitely considering her. I hope you lucky Kelly owners will share some pics here when your girls arrive!

On a semi-related note, does anyone know if you can get the 58cm body with flat feet? I know that you can get flat feet on a bigger body, but I really prefer smaller 1/3 girls. I mean, they have 58cm high heel FEET, so it would make sense? Perhaps wishful thinking, but I thought I'd ask here before bothering a dealer.

 

Well I receieved my Kelly and I am honestly dissapointed with the makeup! It doesn't look close to the pictures at all for me. Maybe I am overthinking it, but I did not have this issue with my Xin or Aoife .

 

@Dolly Sorry, I don't know. I've only ever seen them with the heeled legs.

@fate_xo Oh no! Can you post pictures? I know the forum is difficult but I'd like to see. I doubt you are overthinking it, for as much as we pay for these dolls they should be perfect. It's always hard when they're not. You might be able to get a refund for the faceup? It's worth asking.

 

Apologies for the double post, but I just wanted to put here as well that my Kelly finally shipped! Christina said September and thankfully I didn't have to wait long into the month for a shipping notice. So about a six month turnaround. So excited!!

 

I cannot for the life of me get the faceplate off my Angell Studio 62cm girl. Nor can my husband. Can anyone take pictures of the way the two halves fit together for me please? It’s well and truly vexing us. It shouldn’t be as difficult as it’s proving.

Many thanks in advance.

 

@Kurosakura
Would this help? One of my magnets is unglued, so you see the hole, and it sticks to the other side, but it still stays on well.

If it's the other kind with a head+head cap that comes off, I also have heads like that from them.

 

So, fun fact, Angell Studio has MULTIPLE faceplate systems. I have two girls with AS faceplates, BUT they look nothing like the faceplate that @bahboh is showing above. Mine have two magnets up by the forehead, and no magnets lower down.

On my girls, the only way to remove the faceplate is to tip the FOREHEAD out away from the headback while keeping the chin/jaw against the headback, then pulling up away at angle. You're basically opening it as if there's a hidden hinge in the chin/jaw.

Basically, headback and faceplate: ||
Tip forehead away from headback: |/
Then lift up and away at an angle.

The faceplate cannot be pulled directly out from the headback, nor can it be lifted straight out. It has to be done at this weird tipped angle.

 

Thank you both for the replies, we will try again with the new insights provided.

 

Okay, Kelly is finally here! It took her 34 days to get to me. And it's taken me since her arrival on Thursday to get her all put together. This is absolutely the most complicated fullset I have ever dealt with. All of the armor is leather and corseted onto the body! I also thought they did a good job with her faceup. All in all I'm very excited to have her here, and I took some quick pictures once I got her all dressed up.

 

Does anyone have multiple of their charm sized bodies? I feel like there is a 60 cm girl and a 62 cm. Do they share quite well in your experience?

 

I'm aware of at least 4 different SD-sized girl bodies from Angell Studio!

One body is the 60cm 2020 version, which has 9.7cm wide shoulders. This is the body that came with Li Shi Shi and Caroline. It's available with heel legs or flat feet. I have had this body, and it is huge -- parallel to SD16, imho. It is actually NOT 60cm -- the flat foot version is 62.3cm, and the high heel version is 62.8cm (including head: 56cm and 56.5cm without head).

There's a 62cm version, which has 9.0cm wide shoulders. I know Bingyu/Racrimosa and Cynthia come on this body. It's available with heel legs or flat feet. I've never had this body, so I can't comment on it.

There is also the 58cm body, which has 9.4cm shoulders. It's only available with heel legs. I don't know who comes on this body, but I do know it exists, because you can buy it via the Angell Studio Taobao shop.

There's also the 57cm 2017 version, which has 8.8cm wide shoulders. This is the body that Charlotte and Cinderella come on. It's only available with heel legs. I currently own this body and it's very petite!

What I can say is that the "60cm 2020 version" and the "57cm 2017 version" do NOT share very well at all. The 60cm needs SD16-sized clothes, whereas the 57cm needs SD10/SD13-sized clothes (and even then, I sometimes have to pin things to fit her slim torso).

 

For whatever it's worth, I have the 62cms body with heel legs, and she can share the clothes and shoes of my SDGr G. Sorry that I don't have more detailed info because she's my only AS doll.

 

Thank you so much for the detailed break down. I think I bought two different bodies and I'll have to measure them since the waist on one of the outfits is super tight. I know they are definitely much more popular in China so hopefully it won't be too hard to find clothes but some are very fitted. Both my girls only have heeled legs.

 

Not related to the current convo at all, but I was able to obtain this doll recently from Angell Studio through a split and she's so GORGEOUS.
I need to work on making her clothes...

 

Has anyone seen Aeolian? I'm in love! She's a colab with an artist whose work I adore so I'm so sad I probably won't be able to get her

 

@Yuns I saw her! I'm not familiar with Angell Studio dolls.

I'd like to know if the sculpt would ever be available as a basic set. How often does Angell Studio do that?

I think I'm in love but I don't want to buy a fullset that I'm not going to use.

 

Since she is an IP collab doll, she's only sold as a fullset and also highly unlikely to be rereleased due to licensing permissions. But splits are totally an option.

 

I ended up ordering Aeolian less than 24 hours after seeing her. I went through taobao since others mentioned on FB that the price is lower purchasing that way than through AS' website.

This is probably the most impulsive doll purchase I've ever made so I'm hoping she'll be worth it. I'm trying to figure out her measurements but they're not in English. The only thing I might be understanding is that she's 64cm tall with a head and 59.5cm tall without it.

If that's the case is this a completely new body from the other ones mentioned in a previous post? It doesn't quite look like the other bodies listed on the AS site either.

 

I think you’re right. Her default body is something called an “AS slim body,” which I have not heard of before and which is listed aside “AS58 body, AS60 body, AS62 body, AS slim body” as the suitable body types.

The body has stats of 26cm bust, 18cm waist, and 29cm hips.
