Brava Bambi (Bambicrony) Discussion Part 1

your girls are beautiful! I love your lullaby Ellen!

Momo is back from getting repainted! Here is her with Kairi! (I'll try to post better pics later. this was taken with my phone )

 

guls, she looks lovely! I like the fact that she looks different from all the other tan Ellens. Makes me want to get mine redone as well

Bronzephoenix, your Ellen is adorable! I really like that wig on her. I'm glad you've warmed up to her

angeldoll, your girls look great together. I really like the lullaby head. Very mysterious and enchanting

 

Thanks gracie! Here is a better pic! I was having such a hard time bonding with her at first, but after I had her faceup redone and got her the right pair of eyes, I love her!!! Here she is with my Volks Sora (Eliza).

 

Everyone has some awesome girls! I was totally heartbroken when Tan Ellen sold out and I hadn't ordered. I only have FL dolls that I order through DDE, so I was hesitant to order straight from a company I didn't know much about. Wish I had come here to read more :-(

Anway,, tan Emily is adorable, also. As is peach puff and floral white Ellen.

Does anyone have any spam for me of any of those ? Almost every day I feel blue about missing tan Ellen. I hate dolly regrets!

 

Mesadollz, I have a peach puff Ellen and a tan Ellen. Both are beautiful in their own ways. They really do not look alike. I haven't gotten a chance to take any pictures really since I got them both right before Christmas. I'll try to take some tomorrow or maybe this week for you. I love my tan Ellen, but my peach puff Ellen is just as beautiful. I think you would love her, too.

 

I was finally able to take a few quick photos of my girls today. I apologize for any flyaways or poor quality. For anyone debating between a tan Ellen and a peach puff Ellen, I would say go for the peach puff. My tan Ellen has been a shelf sitter pretty much since she arrived. Just too busy to play with her. When I took her down from her shelf today I noticed she now has white spots in the areas around her joints. They look like pin pricks. Also, when I got her in December, she had one area around one of her ears that was white, but it was really unnoticeable. Now both ears have that same white area and it is noticeable in person. I couldn't get the camera to take a picture, but it is there. I love my tan Ellen, but I am thinking she is going to be a shelf sitter. I don't want to handle her anymore and risk her mottling.

So here is my tan Ellen.

 

Mesadollz, here is a quick picture of my peach puff Ellen. I put her in a wig similiar to the one my tan Ellen is wearing above.

 

Since we are only allowed one photo per doll I think, this might be wrong to do, but I didn't have enough pictures to start a thread in the Gallery. If it is a problem, moderators, please let me know and how to do it differently.

Mesadollz, here is a picture of the tan Ellen with the peach puff Ellen. Looking at the photos, they do look pretty much alike. However, sitting next to each other on the shelf, they look similiar, like cousins would be, but still different enough they don't look like the same doll or sisters.

 

Finally, for those who were debating between the flat chested girls and the larger breasted, here is a larger picture of how they compare. My tan Ellen (left) is the larger breasted girl and her default outfit will not close all the way around her chest, poor girl. She does fit in the larger balloon dress you see her in, but as you can see she fills that sucker out.

My peach puff is the flat chested girl (right) and that is why she is wearing the default outfit. Both are pretty, but personally, I think I prefer the flat chested girl. She just seems to look better in those adorable Nine style dresses. Oh, and as bronzephoenix pointed out before, that yellow balloon dress will only go on Ellen if you take her head off. Not a big deal, but thought I would mention it.

 

Gracie,
Thank you so very much for the amazing photo's! I didn't have this thread marked and lost it, so I apologize for the lack of response. The peach puff is really beautiful.

I know there is some issues with the tan resin. Any idea what has caused it? I read briefly about the floral white and something about french resin. Personally, i love white resins, and they warm up nicely I have heard. Almost turning into a "natural skin" resin at some point, correct?

I've got so much to learn. Love the forums here but searching for info is a tad tricky. Sorry my questions are redundant!

Robin

p.s I wanted to add that I have searched so many lines of MSD dolls for a couple months and nothing grabs me like Bambicrony sculpts do! How weird is that? lol

 

I understand Robin You should be commended, though, for wanting to research before buying. Everyone has to start somewhere and we all still have a lot to learn about the different dolls, etc.

I fell in love with Bambis over two years ago, but finally took the plunge with them in September. The sculpts are very distinct and adorable. Who could blame you for liking them, lol? It appears that pretty much everyone who got a tan Ellen had problems. From what I have seen, mine is probably one of the best, but even she isn't perfect. This is not normal for a tan doll. If you look at the Bambicrony thread in the Waiting Room, you'll see some more pictures of other tan Ellens and the problems people have had. After numerous complaints, Yoon said they will be stopping the production of the tan dolls until they get a new factory. Whether it was the factory or not I don't know. My tan Mae is perfect and she was made at the same time at the same factory.

I have a few white resin dolls, but I don't think they have turned yet although one is 3 years old. Maybe they have and I just haven't noticed it, though. If they have turned, they are still a beautiful porcelain color. I think Anita has had quite a few Bambicronies, a few in floral white, and they were all beautiful. There is also a Bambicrony thread in the BJD Database that has some gorgeous pictures. Hope that helps

 

Thanks Gracie! It definitely helps. I haven't seen the waiting room thread yet and will go read up over there now. Appreciate it! xo

Happy Valentines Day to all!

 

Have you guys seen the new Brava Bambi dolls on Nine9Style, Lucy, Mika and Isabelle (not the same Isabelle as before)? They don't seem to be on the Bambicrony website.

They're really cute! I wish they would show profiles of the dolls and unpainted faces too.

Edit: I had a thought; has anyone ever asked BC about making high-heel feet for them? I also wish we could buy the large bust torso separately if we wanted to upgrade any of our girls.

 

How does Nine9Style relate to Bambicrony? Why would they have dolls that aren't on the BC site?

 

Well Nine9style has been using Brava Bambi's of late for modelling, maybe they've worked out a deal to do some Brava Bambi's exclusive to them?

 

I think a lot of the clothing sold on Bambicrony's website is also made by Nine9Style. It's safe to say the two companies have some sort of partnership.

 

OMG the new girls are gorgeous!!!
Gracie, Thanks so much for the comparison pics! They're both gorgeous. I totally feel you on the flaky sealant. You're totally making me want a peach puff Ellen though she's just beautiful! *covers Momo's ears* Lol!

 

I had to ask and this is what they said:

>I have two questions about Brava Bambi. Would you consider making high-heeled feet parts so she can wear high heel shoes? Would you also consider selling the large bust part separately for people who bought dolls before the other body was available? I love my Bambi Isabelle very much, but she is a young lady and not a child. Thank you.



Hi!

Your suggestions will be a great help to improve our Brava Bambi line

We haven't thought about making heel parts or separate selling of bust parts.

But we'll give positive consideration to your suggestions and try to make them come true.

Thank you so much.

Yoon,

Wow! That's awesome news! Thanks for asking, linakauno! I hope BC will sell the parts in tan as well! I'd love to get Momo some heels!
