Bobobie and Resinsoul Discussion - Part 11!!

Dec 2, 2016

    1. Wow, she's super cute! Resinsoul are usually very nice when it comes to requests so it might be worth asking them for a blank head pic.
       
    2. Popping back in to show the blank pictures of Bai they sent me in an email after I asked, she's cute! She's pretty androgynous (something I love about RS sculpts) so she'd be cute on the Cen body as a boy, too, imo!

    3. The Cen body I've found has a pretty huge neck so putting that head on would probably require a mod. I don't doubt Resinsoul could do this for a fee though.

      Also I'm like 99% certain that the Cen head actually doesn't properly fit the Cen body either. It kind of just rests atop the neck with slight gaping on the sides but not the front and back. This means it snaps to either side with the slightest movement. (My Cen has an elf ear mod.)

      Another big indication is that I can actually see the stringing from the side. Debating on modding this. Took me a while to realize since a different head stole this body for a while and that head (Hoblods Jorhaal) fits on this body a lot better.

    4. Oh, that's a shame! Hmmm...that's making me rethink if I want to get other heads on it, maybe. I wonder if they could put the neck of the Gang body on the Cen chest piece. They've done two necks on one chest piece before, so I guess it's not out of the question.

      Also, wow, it sure is bigger, nearly a full centimeter bigger around! (that Gang neck is 9cm and Cen's is 9.7cm) Wonder why they made it so big if the head it's made for doesn't fit?

    5. Thanks for the pictures and wow yeah I would definitely dremel the hole bigger :(
       
    6. how good is the posing of the Cen body? I'm terribly tempted by that boy, but there are not a lot of owner pics out there so I'm wondering if that's because he's not great after all, or if it's just that not a lot of people got him
       
    7. Aw the neck being large is such a huge bummer. I recently saw Cen and got really excited about the body for one of my dolls who really needs something eventually. Cen is really cute though. I can't believe he doesn't fit on his own body! :XD:
       
    8. Oops wrong RS group..lol
       
    9. He poses mostly fine. I wired mine so he can stay posed since he bends well but doesn't have any sort or locking system to stay in a pose on his own. Other than the neck, I have a couple complaints but nothing that makes me dislike too much. My main complaints are the hands (or more specifically the wrists) and the arms. Cen's hands are just one piece with the wrist. There's not even a separate "wrist area", just hand to nub. So that limits how they can move. But I primarily keep the jointed hands on my Cen and those are so much better imo. I also hot glued his inner wrist for better posing. The arms are a bit more annoying. When Cen's arms are straight, they 'bow' inward into his body. You can actually see this in the company pic on the left side (right arm) and how it bows into the body. The arms look fine when bent, it's only straightened that they annoy me. You can also compare the hands in the company pic for a visual of the wrists.

    10. ^cough^ not to put too fine a face on it, but my right arm 'bows' in towards my body when my hands are positioned like that too. To be fair, I've had multiple elbow surgeries, and everyone is entitled to their opinions, and you are talking about a doll, but it hadn't occurred to me that there was anything 'wrong' with Cen's arms, or my own. Certainly something I'll be thinking about next time I might wear short or tight sleeves

    11. oh, that's good to know! the elbow thing I don't mind so much, but the wrists I can see being frustrating. I'm not super fond of jointed hands, so I'll have to think about if that can be a dealbreaker for me or not

      thanks for pointing this out!

    12. I didn't mean my complaint to be offending and I'm sorry if I did so. (My legs actually bow inwards from a birth defect so I do greatly understand your insight.) I should have explained why Cen's straightened arm position are an issue for me personally. I had planned for this doll to wear a certain outfit with very bulky knight-type armor with lace trim as that's how my OC I got Cen for dresses, but with how the arms rest it's thrown off my plans for that as his arms bowing inward make them rest close to his torso to the point that if he wears too bulky of clothes, it can make his straightened arms be awkwardly far away from his body. Thinner attire doesn't have this issue. That's a big reason another head stole my Cen body early on since that OC wears a lot of sleeveless stuff anyways. I'm honestly considering getting my Cen head the old 1/3 Resinsoul body so he would be able to have the bulky style I want for my OC and hopefully his head actually fits that neck. I'd still keep the Cen body tho for the other head I have that stole it prior.

    13. I found the bowed arm at elbows mention a bit amusing because I specifically want only dolls who can pose that way, because I think it's the most aesthetically pleasing :whee: I get really grumpy if I can't move their arms that way. So hearing that was a big perk to me.
       
    14. welp, I gave in and got Cen in light tan, because I do like his face so much, and his body is really pretty. At worse if the neck bothers me too much, I can mod it to fit better. I'm not sure yet what I'll do with him, but there's a good chance I'll try to customise him as a discount version of ringdoll's Ozhu:XD:

    15. I've honestly grown to like the arm layout for the head that stole my Cen body. That character wasn't super planned out so it added a nice little quirk to my still developing character.

    16. Ooh congrats on the incoming Cen @Tagath ! I'm sure he will be tons of fun. :D

      Anyone else up to anything new? I sat down to sew for my Pandora today because I'm still trudging through getting her a well rounded and cohesive wardrobe together. I actually made a dress I really love from some awesome miniature scale vintage paisley fabric. So happy! I think I can try to make one more today... Just laying in bed for a bit as a break :XD:

    18. That's awesome @goblinprincess :D congrats! Sounds like she is going to be really cool! I'll be looking forward to seeing her!

      I lurk a lot too when it comes to discussion threads. This is one of the few populated threads where I have a relevant doll anymore and feel kind of comfortable :XD:

    20. Hey! Does anyone know if resinsoul light tan matches any other company's light tan? I did find out it is close to DFA tanned. Thank you! :)
