Asleep Eidolon discussion

I was looking through this thread and wow your dolls all look very lovely

I'm planning on buying one and was wondering if the 1/3 boys wore 8-9 or 9-10 wigs?

 

According to the website measurements the 1/3 boys heads are about 24cm around, which is roughly 9.5 inches. I'd recommend 9-10 wigs for that head size.
Maybe someone with an actually AE 1/3 boy can elaborate on this?

 

I have an AE boy; while his noggin is large, 8/9 is the way to go.

 

kuze,

It depends on wig's company.

for example:
LeekeWorld's wigs are quite big. So their 8-9 size is ideal for AE boys.
but Iplehouse's wigs is smaller and their 8-9 size is too small for AE boys.

 

I see! Thanks for the info c:

I'm not the biggest fan of AE bodies so I'm planning to make a hybrid as well. If it's alright, can you post pics of your sachiel hybrid when the body arrives? Was it ns or ws? Really curious to see how the resin would match! I saw from another thread that AE and BF ns have a pretty close resin match. I'm considering that but I want to check out other options too.

 

kuze: I know that older AE dolls had serious poseability problems. My Kina is a terrible poser. But the newer bodies are a lot better. The body Fenir came on is actually pretty good. It's equally good as the Ringdoll body I just put him on.

As to the Ringdoll body, the neck is too small. I knew there would be some shenanigans with the measurements....but I get the feeling that the AE neck circumference is more than 9.5, and the ringdoll neck circumference is actually a little less than 9. I put a little eye putty under his head to keep it from wobbling, but I'll probably use some (OK, a LOT) of liquitex gloss to suede the joint later. The resin match is...I can't tell. Fenir has yellowed. I think they would have been a match a year ago. It's not good now...Still, I'm pleased with it overall.

These are my three AEs. Fenir is on the far left, Heart is in the middle, and Puss is on the far right. Fenir, of course, is a Sachiel on a Ringdoll body. Heart is a Spiritdoll Freesia on Fenir's old body. And Puss is a Kina.

You might want to check out DollZone's bodies too. I'm pretty sure they are a resin match for AE, and their bodies are excellent quality. The aesthetic would probably also be a better fit than Ringdoll.

 

hi- i am from Germany and there is a shop in the netherlands. I am looking for a new bjd and they got Asleep Eidolon Mignon. I like her- she is very sweet. I found some pics her of the new body. It was a post of Yara. Do you think its worth to order this doll? i wish to have one that poses well cause I love to do pics during holiday and traveling and I wonder if this doll could be a good choice.

Thanks for the info

can I buy them from the chinese homepage directly? sorry i am new in business and only ordered my Iplehouse Tedros which was easier

 

Hello

Well, I have a Solstice, thought I'm not sure if her body is the new one, but she is a good poser Also Mignon is a really pretty one.
Personally I think AE are totally worth it. I have a Xun as well and I love them both.
If I were made out of money I'd probably even take the long production time they currently have, to get some more dolls from them.

 

greeneyed-soul: if you can read/speak Chinese fluently, I think you could. Otherwise, go through a dealer.

 

oh no i can not speak chinese. i only could translate through google. what does that mean order through a dealer? how does that work?

i found another one i really like. Her name is Rebecca, browsed through the legenddoll-page and fout it there. She is very lovely.

 

Haha it's not even the posability I wasn't satisfied with. By far, I've only read positive reviews regarding their posability. It's really picky of me but I'm just not satisfied with its aesthetics..

Within just a year? I never knew they yellowed that quickly... Looks even though so I guess it's alright.

I see! I'll also consider dollzone then c:

Thanks for sharing! Your dolls look lovely by the way

 

Dealers are like middlemen I guess. People buy from them and they order in bulk from the company. One of the dealers offering asleep eidolon is mint on card.

kuze: sorry, that was misleading. I've had Fenir since August 2012, but the yellowing has only been noticeable since a few months ago. That is, he wasn't like this a year ago!

 

I see, thanks for clearing that up! It's not so far off though, just about a year and a half xD

 

I found another nice girl. Rebecca. Is there anybody having it? Think about her and beyours kirara.... have to decife for one cause i like both of them

 

@redfaery

Thank you! I actually sell bjd hats in my etsy store.

 

Hello everyone ! Could anyone please tell me the ankle-girth of the SD girl-body ? I'm searching for heel feet for my Dollstown body which has incredible thick ankles (8 cm circumference !) Seeing pictures of the AE body it seems to have big ankles too...but it is hard to tell from pics, so any information/measurement would be so great...thank you for your help !!!

 

Hey there! I don't know if you've already ordered anything since it's already mid-March, but I've measured my girl's ankels and they're about 7.7cm.

 

Thank you so much for the information, peppercrushes, that's incredibly helpful !!! Sorry for my late answer, just found your post today... Today I measured my girl's ankles again and yepp...they are 8cm circumference...but I suppose I will not find more matching heel feet than those by AE. So I will go for them ! Seems I have to be really patient since MOC is going to order AE items not earlier than on 16th of April Oh well...waiting is part of the hobby...as we all know, LOL !!!
