Bobobie and Resinsoul Discussion - Part 11!!

I have an RS WS Bao (OT for this thread) bought directly from RS in 2011. When he arrived he was paper white. He's now mellowed into a warm, pale ivory shade. He's still WS but no longer the paper white he was when he arrived. It's also completely even. For context, all my guys live in their boxes due to lack of display space so he's seen very little light of any kind (sunlight, incandescent, fluorescent, etc.) over the 11 years I've owned him. His colour change is due 99.9% to simple age.

Interestingly, the other RS boys I have that are in dark grey (early 2011, bought at the same time as the WS Bao), dark tan (late 2011) and red (late 2011) don't seem to have colour changes to their resin. Or at least nothing that jumps out at me to say they've changed colour. They were all purchased directly from RS, too.

Jolen (Jun in old blue, late 2009) on the other other hand completely changed colour from old blue (which was almost like a dingy blue-tinted very pale grey back in the day) to a lovely turquoise by 2016. It's completely even with even the inside of his head cap (and other parts) the same shade. I think he was a wonky batch though as within the first 2 years he started to mellow into turquoise despite not getting any sun and minimal indoor light exposure.

 

They aren't pure white, so I guess they are NS. It's too bad, because they really are nice hands. I wouldn't have been surprised if the body was yellowed in comparison, it was just the paleness that threw me off.

he has pants and a cape! I hand sewn these in two days!
just a link because the security on this website blocked me from posting a picture

 

Fantastic, I wish I could hand sew like that! It's always a production to sew for me, but my arthritis makes me zig zag when hand sewing, LOL Congratulations @sylvesther

 

aww thank you IngieBee
this was my real first try at hand sewing, after two days my fingers really hurt but it was so worth it

 

Oh, soon you'll make him a whole wardrobe! @sylvesther

 

@sylvesther Wow Heng makes a great Piccolo! You did a fantastic job his clothes!!


I kept my Rui's faceup simple due to his funky fun resin, but I haven't been able to find OR make a wig I like on him! I finished his faceup yesterday, and the kitten made off with his other eye. I doubt he ate it, but he probably batted it somewhere weird. His custom eyes should be here soon anyway, but I really hope it turns up.

 

Your Rui guy looks great, @Thymeseer! He's so unique, his coloring is amazing and I like the face-up you give him.

And your guy is wonderful too, @sylvesther - like what you made him too!

 

looking cool @Thymeseer , I wish I knew how you makde his coloring so drippy, it's something I couldn't ever do! I just don't have an eye for it But he looks fantastic Naughty kitty, though, LOL

 

@earth.spirits Thanks! He's my very fun guy; I decided my collection needed some more color. His character has been kicking around for a few years, so I felt more justified in making him a doll.

@IngieBee I actually ordered him like that! That black drips are in the resin itself. I asked for a marble effect and provided some pictures of other people's dolls with similar faceups, and he's what popped out. It's making him hard to dress since I want to show it off!

And the kitty is EXCEPTIONALLY naughty. He lucky he's cute. He's in the terrible teenage stage and has to touch everything and is a budding jewel thief since he likes necklaces and rings. And apparently eyes.

 

@Thymeseer That's part of the resin? Oh wow. I thought it was something you added. That is super cool.

 

@Iron_Dog Yep! I didn't know if they'd do it, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask!
It's even marble on his internal pieces!

 

@Thymeseer I'm a firm believer in asking as usually the worst that happens is the person/company says no they can't do Thing. RS is pretty awesome with the customer service.

 

Oh, wow! Cool! ResinSoul is amazing! @Thymeseer

 

thanks everyone for the nice comments

 

@Thymeseer Your Rui is absolutely stunning!!

I'm potentially looking at Rui myself, for a character I want to shell. Only issue for me is the height, I prefer smaller dolls in general and anything above 63cm/64cm is a hard no. I see that the RS/BBB 58cm girl body has the same size neck as the 68cm girl body- Would anyone know if the 68cm heads (Rui in particular) look proportional on the 58/60cm bodies? Or would they be super bobble-headed?

 

Hello!! I'm planning to order a custom Resinsoul Lian with a nose mod and four arms by the end of December. I'd like to know what kinds/sizes of clothes she fits and potentially find some links to some open backed shirts/dresses for her.

Thank y'all so much!

 

Hey, just wanted to pop in here and mention they put a new 60cm girl up on the website (don't know when, but it had to be recent)

RESINSOUL--Bai

Her name is Bai, looks like she has a really pretty face! Her eye shape looks almost dreamy, though I'm somewhat faceblind and wish they still regularly did blank head pictures on their new releases

 

She's pretty but without seeing blank pics or different face-ups to see what could be done with her she wouldn't be a doll I'd seek out.

 

OMG I totally asked about this earlier in the year and they told me they couldn't do it...guess I'll try again..lol
