Bobobie and Resinsoul Discussion - Part 12!!

I love how delicate the hands are!! I ordered the jointed hands for my Resinsoul boy but damn…the regular hands are also so awesome. I’m thinking of ordering Qian next, as I am shelling two of my OCs and want them to somewhat match. I just think Resinsoul have such pretty sculpts!

Almost shouting into the void here but has anyone had any experience with asking for custom parts and skin tones? There are a few characters I want to shell into their sculpts but they would require some modding and I wondered about pricing/wait times.

 

@EphemeralDarkness - while I don't have personal experience, from everything I've read, custom orders with Resinsoul are a delight and a joy. Affordable and gorgeous.
In the waiting room, there's a couple examples: gorgeous black resin, transparent smoky-gray, a stunning purple-and-black custom, and an achingly beautiful pink and transparent pink little centaur. These are all recent DOA links, and I'm hoping at least one of the posters would be happy to discuss their experiences with you.
I emailed Resinsoul directly to ask for Ya on the Shi body, and the turn-around time was under two months from order to my house in Midwest USA.
Editing to add: I'm fairly sure @Kitty Blue has asked for custom parts before. Hope you don't mind me pinging you...

 

Thank you so much for your detailed reply! I’ll be sure to have a look at those links. And that’s brilliant! I’m waiting for one from DDE (rookie error, I know) and it’s nearing the 4 month mark! 2 months seems like nothing haha

God, the purple and black one is gorgeous! Seeing these is giving me ideas…

 

I know about Ms Kitty Blue's custom orc girl using the 1/4 Tang body, but has anyone requested something similar with their 1/3 bodies before to get a muscular girl at that size? I'm wondering if the 1/4 one worked out so well because they had the toned ab piece from the Dawn body already, but none of the 1/3 girls have any kind of muscle definition, so I'm a little hesitant about inquiring with them if doing something similar is possible.

 

My Qian has arrived, so I'm sharing him here (and some more photos in the unboxing forum)

It's kinda funny because holding him in person I thought it looked less like the photos than I thought, but in the photos I've taken he looks pretty similar to official photos?? It's a little odd, but I like him both irl and in photos so I don't mind

 

He's so cute! And thank you for posting a blank picture, I asked RS but they never replied (I think my email got eaten or lost)

 

Ooh he's cute!! Thanks for sharing the picture of him too, because seeing him blank is giving me ideas!

 

He is so cute! As others have said, thank you for posting him blank. He is the next sculpt I am seeking out and it’s nice to see what I’m going to be working with

I wish you happy customising with him!

 

@Tagath what a handsome lad! Congratulations! I love his gentle smile, he seems very serene.

 

Just come on to add!! My boy has been shipped, ahh I’m so excited! (Off topic for this discussion but I also ordered him a friend- the 44cm Jian)

I can’t wait to share photos of the two

 

He's so gorgeous!! I love his calm and dreamy look even more, his expression looks so versatile.

Something so exciting for me, my first doll arrived!!!!!!! It's Yun in purple, she is so striking in person! The color is so vibrant, which really shocked me in a pleasant way. I'm thinking of restringing her, as she seems a bit tight and I think evening the tension on her strings might help her kicky left arm. I can't tell if this is a good idea or if it would be better to let her chill out for a bit, haha.

 

Restringing and hot-glue sueding these dolls helps a lot - I definitely recommend it. Given their price, Resinsoul dolls need a little assistance to make them good posers. A little wire also will help a bunch. The resin is very smooth, so it needs a little friction.

 

I'm glad if that photo of my boy was helpful! Qian is a very nice sculpt, I'm glad I jumped on it xD
Also, I've mostly finished his custom, in record times for me. I guess I was really excited about this boy.

 

I bought the Bigger Boy Body for a female character. The pecs are sculpted a little low, and a little round, so I found they look a little bit like a small bust. Never tried asking them to mod the chest, but I bet they’d say yes!

 

Oohhh he looks awesome!!

 

Guys, I put a Minime Audrey head on my new 68 cm body, and I LOVE it. Love love love. Perfect proportions. Gotta go snap a pic.
I really like this body in person. It's lovely and substantial.

 

Hey y'all, I was wondering if anyone had pics of the "smooth abdomen" version of the 70cm boy body? I know there's a no-abs version of the Yi body and I swear I've seen people make the same request for the 70cm boy body, but trying to find pics of that specific customization is . I'm trying to decide between the two bodies for a character I want to shell from my favorite video game

 

@Tagath What size eyes do you have in your charming Qian? I want to get my incoming one some new eyes, but I'm waffling between 14mm and 16mm.

@MonochromeNocturne Nefla here on the forum has one. Here's a link to a pic on their Instagram: Nefla Ivanova on Instagram



Also I just noticed I was mentioned for custom color/weird requests. If anyone has any questions, I'm super happy to answer!

 

I am honestly not sure. I made his eyes with plastic flat buttons I bought on AliExpress a while ago, and they don't even fit in the eyewell that well. But my partner has some eye size testers made by ashuradark, i'll try to borrow that this weekend and check what fits best.

 

Ok, I've checked. 14mm is a little small, there's some gap happening with that size, while 16mm fit perfectly.
