Asleep Eidolon (AE Int'l) minis discussion part 2

Haha I totally do. It's one of my worst distractions. I get sucked into the customization and gallery boards, and that's it. I would say that's one of the big reasons my poor Coral hasn't been re-strung yet, lol.

 

Hi Peeps! Mostly I collect Fairyland Realpukis, but recently I've fallen in love with Asleep Eidolon minis. I want to make my own BJD versions of my favorite 3 Disney princesses, Snow White, Rapunzel and Merida. I think Aure would make the perfect Snow White, and Coral would be a great Rapunzel. I'm still trying to decide who to choose for Merida though. Any Ideas?

 

Hmm, well I haven't seen "Brave" yet (I know, I know- where have I been?), but my first instinct is to say Cherry for Merida. She has a nice round face. Or maybe Lemon. I know this isn't the right thread, but have you seen AE's 1/3 Snow? Maybe it's just the name, but that girl just screams "Snow White" to me! I'm not normally into 1/3 scale, but AE 1/3 girls are stunning... Aure is a fantastic younger Snow White. I want Aure and Snow, *sigh*.

 

I haven't seen Brave yet either, WillowWren, so you're not the only one!

Littlegreycoconut, I definitely vote for Aure as Snow White and I think Cherry is a great suggestion for Merida. It sounds like a fun project!

 

WillowWren: I took a peek at Cherry and I could see right away that she'd be perfect as Merida! I can just imagine her with curly carrot red hair, bright blue eyes and lots and lots of freckles. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
Anarwyn: I definitely recommend Brave! It's such a fun movie. I'm so glad you like my choice of Aure for Snow White. As soon as I saw Aure I fell in love with that face! She's so gorgeous! By the way does anybody know if Aure is going to be a permanent addition to the AE dolls? I can't afford to by her right now, but my hubby said he could buy her for me in September, and I'd hate to find out that she's only available temporarily.

Oh...and feel free to call me Coco instead if you like, it's easier to type.

 

I am pretty sure Aure is part of the regular line-up; it seems that way how it is listed on the Mint on Card website. You can always email MOC and ask them to be sure.

 

That's a good idea. Thanks Anarwyn! Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention that I have seen SD Snow and she is indeed beautiful! I don't think I'm ready for a doll quite that tall yet though.

I won't be able to order Aure till late summer so would I be able to get some spam please to relieve the dreaded waiting sickness? Any doll will do.

 

Alas, I own no AE dolls (yet), so I cannot indulge you with spam. I am merely an admirer from afar, just like you. So yes, please someone out there, give us spam! I also love Blueberry (hint, hint).

 

I plan to take more pictures of Elsbet (Cordelia Jr.)this weekend but in the meantime here she is waiting for Spring so we can do some outside shoots.



I would love some Blueberry spam too. Although Aure may have taken her spot as my next favorite AE!

 

WillowWren: Ooh, I like Blueberry too!
Anarwyn: Thankyou!!! I love her delicate profile! May we see her full face too, please! Do you think you'll end up getting Aure?

 

Today I learned a very valuable lesson. The AE mini girl body (the new body) has too large of a butt for TTYA leggings, lol. My Coral has a serious plumber's crack going on.

 

Coco, I am seriously considering adding an Aure to my collection at some point. I am hoping MOC will get one in stock so I can request a "real life" photo of her. I have a Luts floating head that needs a body first, so Aure might have to wait a bit.

In the meantime, as requested, more Elsbet:


ChronicallySpaced, you are right about the bigger hips and bottom. Clothes that fit my older slim Dollzone's were tight going over Elsbet's hips.

 

Well, your Coral and I have that in common, lol! But I just blame it on having legs that are too long.

 

PS- I'd love to see some Coral spam!

 

LOL. The AE mini girl body really does have nice, long legs. I really like it. It just is a bit challenging when it comes to clothes. I think if the elastic was a bit more... stretchy?... they would fit better. The Nine9 leggings I got fit nicely but they're a bit too short for my liking. Yet, the TTYA ones that don't stay up over her booty are actually long enough. Go figure!!

Coral spam, eh? Well, here is one for you. I ordered some new eyes for her that will hopefully be in within the next few weeks, so I'll have to share an updated photo once I get those!

 

Wow, she is really pretty! I love that she has a 'darker' look than most AE girls that I see. Thanks!

 

Thank you so much. I'm pretty happy with her. Eventually I think I'd like to re-do her face up and see if I can do a better job with it, haha. But I really like this look for her. Coral seems to be quite a versatile sculpt. ^^ I'm happy to see a lot more of them around... there were hardly any owner photos when I bought my girl.

 

Hello!

I hope I'm not being rude bumping in like this, but I was wondering if any of you could give some advice concerning AE minis?

Pear is an on-and-off candidate for a character of mine who I'd like to get a doll-version of. I keep changing my mind because I'm not sure if her face is too round or young or not. Nadeshiko is turning out to be impossible to doll-ify. Every sculpt is too young or too mature, too round or too sharp... Same with bodies.

I really like what I've seen of AE's new 1/4th body. If anyone has naked pics of their dolls, I'd be really grateful.

And does anyone have any, um, advice on the Pear sculpt? How flexible is she? Do you think she could handle a more graceful, mature look?

I'd be very grateful for any input ^^

 

Karmiya, I have a Pear and I feel like she is on the more mature side of the 1/4th size.

 

Thank you! I looked her up on your flickr, and your Natalie is lovely

Nowadays whenever I see someone's Pear, I think, "Now imagine her with sad eyebrows and dark brown hair..." So far it seems to be going pretty well ^^
