Bobobie and Resinsoul Discussion - Part 12!!

Showing off a bit my resinsoul big boys, since I just made them new wigs

(resinsoul Cen+resinsoul Yang)

 

Hi everyone! Does ResinSoul charge a fee for colour matching to a part I send them?
If context is helpful, I have a WS non-ResinSoul head (MiracleDoll) that I want to hybrid with the Cen body, but it's a creamy yellow tone and I don't think ResinSoul's standard white is going to match.

PS @Tagath I love seeing your dolls! I came across them a lot when researching the Cen body hehe

 

@Tagath
I love your dolls also. I didn't release you had a Yang! I've been considering a Yang or Heng for one of my characters and I've been looking for a sculpt with sharply defined cheeks and jawline. What do you think of the sculpt (and the body if he's on the RS bigger body).

 

They do charge a fee for a custom color. It was about $30 for my Cen body.

 

I'm glad you like my dolls!
I like my Yang a lot, partly because his longer face contrasts nicely with that of my Cen which is rounder. I will say eye placement has been tricky, my partner has said multiple times he looked stoned before I found something that worked
He's on the 70cm body (his default one) , which looks nice enough I'd say. Maybe the abs and ribs are more defined than I'd prefer, but I'm too lazy to sand them.I like that he looks tall and very lanky next to the 60cm RS.
For posability, I'm not one to expect crazy things so I never know what to say lol. I have no big problems with it. The hip/thigh joint fights me a bit when I want him to go from sitting to standing, but that's it.
I gave him RS's jointed hands for 72cm dolls and they look a little big, but nothing shocking

 

Good heavens, that's it? That's... that's so CHEAP.

 

Right??? Impldoll is $100 now for a custom colour, so $30 is nothing.

 

I should note that if you want to color match something, definitely send them a physical thing to match as opposed to a pantone number, even if it's color picked from a swatch or photo. Unfortunately, while a nice color, the body is too dark for the head I have, which I knew was a possibility going that route, but still leaves me in a bit of a conundrum about what i want to do for him >< But since I wouldn't have time to customize him before the NYC con anyway (one of the reasons I went the pantone route instead of asking to mail them something to match) i have time to decide.

 

Ok maybe this is just me and my weak little bird wrists, but does anyone else struggle to get the feet off of their 1/3 bodies? I got heel feet for my girl, but can't get her normal feet she came with off the elastic to switch them out, and when I went to restring her, I had to just pull the s-hook out from the neck to release the tension, because i couldn't get the feet off to unstring her properly >< I can't tell if it's just that the loop on the hook is a smidgen too small or something else, because I haven't had this problem with any of my other dolls from other companies (usually I have the opposite problem where i need help getting things back on!)

 

@quilleth I can't remember which doll it was, but I have had problems like that before. I'll modify the S-hook a little if I have to opening it up a bit to get it on the doll if it's too closed for the new elastic or hard for me to get it back on the foot. I do pull the elastic out quite a bit and clamp it down with forceps so that I don't have any tension when I am working on it. The forceps help a lot when it comes to changing out hands and feet.

 

Thanks! It's good to know it's not just me >< I did have forceps keeping the elastic in place, but i still couldn't get them off, so I guess I'll have to try opening the s-hook some and see if that helps!
