1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Oct 29, 2023

    2. I emailed Resinsoul about making a custom muscular girl body using the 1/3 boy or girl bodies and they said they could alter the boy body to have female details or the 1/3 girl to have muscles with a lot of modifications and tbh i'm not sure which one would make the most sense xD from what I can tell in the pictures, they have pretty similar engineering. The head I'd be using has a smaller neck size than the boy body, so I guess I can ask if they can accommodate that when they're doing everything else. I'm pretty excited though!

    3. OMG, PLEASE post pictures when she arrives. That sounds amazing!

    4. I will! I'm excited and a little nervous about the order. I hope the bodies will work for the heads i have. I'm also getting a Cen in a custom color because while they did say they could alter the bigger boy body to have more similar joints and smooth abs, they said they aren't able to change the height, so I thought it'd probably be a little easier for me to mod a Cen body to be taller and give the illusion of wider shoulders through the clothing than it would be to try to make the taller body shorter. But I may be fooling myself there.:sweat

    5. Oh, that gives me ideas! I use the bigger boy body as a fem body, because the pecs are sculpted a little low, and pass as small boobs in some clothing, so it’s interesting that I could probably get them to actually put boobs on it!

    6. From how they replied in the email, I think they could probably do it for the bigger boy body too, and for a very reasonable fee! They're even making heel feet for me for her too, and making the neck smaller to fit the head I have!

    7. Greetings, Resinsoul/Bobobie enjoyers! Could I please ask you all a few questions, if/when anyone has a moment?

      Specifically:
      -What is Resinsoul's white resin tone like lately? (Paper white/yellow white/pink white/etc.) I found some examples as recent as 2023 on Flickr, but would really appreciate more info.
      -It seems like Resinsoul/Bobobie are very generous and flexible when it comes to custom orders and unusual requests. If I wanted to buy something wild like, say, just a pair of the hoof legs from the Mu body - in your experience, is that something that they might be open to? How does one go about requesting something like that?
      -Denver Doll Emporium lists something called the "Cen" body...but I couldn't find it on the companies' websites. Does anybody have a doll on this body? I'd love to see photos/hear how you like it, if you're willing to share!

      Thank you in advance for your time & any tips. Hope you all have a lovely week ahead of you!

    8. I can't speak to their white resin, but I believe they WILL sell you just legs or even arms off a doll if you email and ask, they'll give you a quote.

      And the Cen body is the body Cen comes on by default (he's in their 62cm category), so you can see pictures of it there. They haven't really updated the site to have all the different bodies listed separately in a long time, I think since so many people just order through email vs actually using the site itself.

      A complaint I remember hearing from someone here who has a full Cen doll is that the neck seems a bit too big even for the Cen head (like, it sits on the neck weird, as if it's neck hole is a smidge too small). Other than that, I think it was the usual RS stuff of benefitting from suedeing and wiring, maybe using thicker elastic, etc.

    9. Oh, I see! I'd normally feel a little shy to e-mail really specific requests, but it seems like they handle them pretty well (which is awesome).
      As far as issues go, that's definitely a strange one. I'm hoping to try out modifications anyway, so...could be good practice. :)
      Thank you for this info @MonochromeNocturne !

    10. Of course just as I'm gearing up to buy a custom Yan Resinsoul comes along and releases Rainbow :love. She's so pretty, though she reminds me more of a harpy/bird woman than an angel personally. Now I'm struggling to decide which one to get... Is there anyone here with a Yan, and does she have any cool features or unique quirks besides the usual Resinsoul stuff? Thanks.

    11. 1.I need to double check when I get home, but I think the white resin is very white.

      2. They will sell you random parts if you email. I just received a pair of hooves I ordered from them. Send an email with the exact thing you want+resin colour and you'll get an direct quote in reply. You then just pay on paypal if that's fine with you (I usually write down the order+my main email in the paypal comment since I use a different email for it). it's really easy

      3. I have three dolls on the Cen body (a Cen, a Qian, and a non resinsoul head) and I'm pretty happy with it! The neck is a little large for its intended heads, but nothing bothersome to me. I think it poses well, but I'm not someone who does crazy poses with their dolls. I have restrung one of them with thicker elastics, the other two I just tightened the existing elastic and they're fine. My camera is dead at the moment, but I may have photos of the body naked on IG, I need to check

    12. I have a tiny white doll from RS, and she was definitely very, very white when she was new. She did yellow quite a bit, though.

    13. @Tagath @Fairy Milliner thank you both! The companies' flexibility with ordering separate parts is so cool, and offers a lot of inspiration...! If the white resin is a nice shade, I really might get into some serious Resinsoul experimenting come tax return season.
      :lol:

    14. Popping back in as this guy finally has hair. New eyes too (they're cat eyes off aliexpress turned sideways)
      Its my first attempt at making a wig, so if I improve then he'll probably get an upgraded one in a few year's time. But I went by "it doesn't have to be good, it just has to be done" and am pretty happy with the end result.
      The horns are by FiveForges on Etsy <3

    16. Oh, wow, I didn't recognize him with a wig and new eyes - I had to go back to your prior post to compare. He looks delightful!

    17. The white resin is not quite paper white, but close. It's much whiter than say, Fairyland's. I have a Feng in white resin I bought in stock from DDE a couple of months ago. It's actually not a bad shade. I was thinking his character would be one of the Fae but now I'm thinking he may end up as a character from a concept album by a band I love.

    18. Is the Cen body really only 50cm without a head!? :aeyepop: That's much shorter than I expected. I've been planning to get two for some hybrids.

    19. I quickly measured again to double check, and this time came closer to 52cm:? Still, yes, it's a fairly small body, since the RS heads tend to be on the larger side.

    20. Peaking my head in here for people who are well acquainted with Resinsoul!

      I have a Resinsoul Ling and Chun (both girls) but I am falling out of love with Ling due to her face shape isn't as full as Chun.

      Does anyone know of another sculpt that has a similar size face to Chun? I would like to have another Resinsoul girl to be with Chun. I do have a picture of them side by side if needed.
