Bimong Shahti 16-inch mini discussion

I'm sorry that the news isn't better :/

But, yes -- they can wear many of the same clothes/shoes, but it would take clever shooting to get them to inhabit the same "world".

I hope to get some more precise comparisons, nude shots, and measurements in future, but I hope that this was at least somewhat helpful.

(The heels/stands do make the Shahti girls seem quite a bit taller than C-Line girls -- I'll try to get a more apples-to-apples height comparison when we have time to switch out feet and clothing.)

Thanks Ashbet. But the heads! Shahti is always going to look monstrously pumpkin-headed next to a CLine, heels or no heels. Ah well. Better to know now.

 

Bloody hell, that's a price. And you don't get much for your $700. A blank Shahti is $200, so $500 for a faceup, eyes, wig, dress and shoes. Mama! Judging from the faceup, she is being marketed to the fashion doll crowd, and they will pay even more than we will for their dolly fix.

Ah well. Nice enough, but nothing to write home about.

 

Reviving this thread because I finally tracked down a shahti for myself. I've read through the thread and have a general idea of the shoes that will work but saw no mention of standard FR16 shoes. I'm guessing they would fit but would welcome insight from anyone who's tried it.

 

I don’t know, but I’m curious to see what you find out!

(I know that I bought some off-brand shoes from eBay that were supposed to fit several types of fashion dolls, and I believe FR16 was among them, but it was a number of years ago, and I can’t swear to it.)

Best of luck!

 

Thanks @Ashbet! I just ordered some ellowyne wilde shoes s they seemed a good bet. I'm slowly compiling info on useful size comparisons for tradiitonal vinyl fashion dolls and resin bjd fashion dolls, so this will eb another entry in the spreadsheet haha.

Still need to get her proper eyes and wig, but lord and I thrilled with this girl. Meet Oriana, my blond high-glam witch.

 

She is STUNNING!!! Love that face-up you gave her

I had to wait until I was at my actual computer to do this (Flickr is wretched on a mobile browser), but here's a link to all my Shahti photos on Flickr . . . which includes the source/brand of most of the clothing/shoes that my two are wearing.

Hope this is helpful!

Thank you @Ashbet ! I'm waiting on some stuff, so I'll be sure to contribute my own findings as well.

 

I look forward to seeing your results!

If it ever stops raining (2 more weeks forecast!), I’ll have to get some new shots of my girls — Cerise is wearing a Monaeglow dress, and I think Crimson’s skirt/bodice were made for Tonner.

I have some tonner 16 clothing and ellowyne wilde shoes incoming. Oriana here has her eyes and wig finally. The eyes were made for the popovy sisters dolls, and the wig is monique 4-5.

 

@rianne She's stunning!

Did your Ellowyne shoes ever come in? I have several pairs of fashion doll shoes, and I think my Ellowyne-size shoes were slightly big on Shahti. Right now, my Shahti is wearing Tyler-size "Ready-to-Rumba" shoes and they fit her the best of any I've found.

 

@Kayka I'm still waiting. Mail is suddenly really slow. T_T I got boots, so slightly big won't hurt anything.

 

Aw, bummer! Hopefully, they'll come in soon!

Yep, boots should be fine. Mine are just regular high-heels, and I had to stuff the toes to get them to stay on her foot.
