Bobobie and Resinsoul Discussion - Part 12!!

@LupusDarkmoon - where are my manners?!? Thank you so much for these photos!
Hmm... gotta say, I love the sculpting on the new 60 cm body. I think I may wait to see if they update the 68 cm body before I get one.

 

So... anyone else in love with the new Qian?

 

He's super cute! He's gone on my list, for sure (my long, long list of RS sculpts I want )

I do wish they'd just put blank pics of all their sculpts on the listings, though. I've asked them for a few already this year and feel annoying asking for another when I can't buy the actual doll yet, it gives me the same feeling as walking into a store to ask questions or use the restroom and not buying anything

 

I ordered Qian in blue! But through DDE so I could put him on a long layaway. I'm debating on making him some kind of undead instead of a drow. But he'll be pretty darn it! I'm hoping to see him around Easter with how long it takes through DDE.

 

Oh, that sounds wonderful! Congrats on the order!

 

it'll be exciting to see owner pics of it!
although personally I'm so tempted by him, I might order him before yours arrives. Or maybe not, because I also need to buy a msd body from resinsoul, and if I get Qian I might also get a second Cen so he has a boyfriend... and that'll be a big order I'll need to plan for orz

 

I really want to buy a bobobie Apollo but I heard bobobie customer service is awful compared to resinsoul,any advice would be appreciated.

 

@sylvesther If you're wanting the full doll in any of their regular resin colors, you can get Bobobie dolls from Denver Doll Emporium. They might even have one in the color you want in stock!

 

I just want the head,the body I'll buy directly from resinsoul I do see his head available on DDE which I'm happy about but then again I'm also doubtful because I also heard DDE is infamous for their long time waiting and poor communication skills I really need to think about this

 

I think if it's an in stock doll/head it should be fine right? I've only ordered from them once (in stock) and it went smoothly.

 

I've ordered from DDE frequently, and I can tell you from personal experience that as long as you are nice, you shouldn't have a problem. It's when customers get, erm, snippy that they start to have problems.
They do tend to have longer wait times, but they order from Fairyland and Resinsoul regularly, including purchasing in-stock dolls, so those tend to arrive faster.
They have an Apollo doll in stock right now, but it's the last one, so if you want it, go quickly. In stock dolls that I have purchased are frequently shipped the same day or the next business day - and they work Saturdays, too.
Edited to add: have you emailed Resinsoul directly to ask if they could get Apollo for you? Mei is technically a Bobobie sculpt, and they sell her all the time.

 

@sylvesther I emailed Resinsoul earlier this year about getting an Apollo on the Cen body and they said it was possible, so if you are still wanting him, try emailing them.

I myself want a different body, but my boy if from 2009, so he won't match a new body. I figured it'd be less of a hassle to just get a new Apollo. I am also really really tempted to get a Mi.

 

OMG yes! Probably will email them end of January

 

So I had my Mi on a body that I just did NOT like. It posed terribly, and it wasn't pretty, either. Plus, it's banned on DOA, so peace out, home slice.
I sold it with zero regrets and snagged an in-stock 68 cm white body for her. It's gonna be so nice to be able to show off my lovely Mi again. I love that sculpt. And now I get to see a 68 cm female body in person!

 

...aaaand it's here! I purchased in-stock from DDE, and she arrived with a broken finger. Le sigh. DDE is sending a replacement hand, and I was like, "Well, since you're ordering..." Lol. I lost a flat foot for the 60 cm body (how do you lose a foot? I dunno, but I lost it), and I want a second pair of heel feet in NS, cuz if you have a doll that doesn't fit "1/3" shoes - RS heel feet fit everything.

I love the 68 cm body much more than I thought I would, and I think Mi's head perches on the body very nicely. It's very pretty in person, and it's a BIG girl body. I like big.

 

Hey y'all, I'm looking at maybe getting a Bai as my Christmas/Birthday present for myself this year (if money works out, that is), but I'm confused about her eye size. RS's website doesn't list it, and DDE lists her coming with a random pair of 14mm eyes. That seems small to me? Mi and the other 1/3 girls all take 16-18mm, so is this a typo from DDE? Or are 14's suitable for the 60cm girls, too?

 

It can be a function of how big Bai’s eye wells are versus the other girls. From what I’ve experienced, girls tend to have larger eyes than boys, although this isn’t a hard and fast rule!

I tend to prefer smaller eyes myself. That isn’t to say you can’t switch out Bai’s eyes for 16s if you prefer that!

 

@Syrill Ah, I didn't think about the eye wells being that different, but that makes sense. Thank you!

 

It makes perfect sense to think that similarly-sized dolls from the same company would have the same size eyes! I hope Bai is perfect when she arrives to you
