Charm Doll Discussion

@Dei Ill try to get more photos in now that Ive fiddled with the camera a bit and got the hang of it! I was really upset when I saw the uploaded pictures so I looked up some tutorials and recommended settings online so I think the next few ones should be better (I practiced after lol), so if theres any particular look you want to see, Ill try to do it.

The photo I posted makes his face look plump, its narrower in person, I think its the angle of the camera that changed it, Ill definitely try to capture it better

Soul in a Box to me is my favorite eye maker, affordable, and shes very nice and also, the eyes are very clear

These are regular iris 12mm in Pecan Pie
His page recommends 14-16 but I found those too big in my opinion

 

I did some new photos and they look closer to how he looks in real life, I was not happy at all with the older photo

Spoiler: 3/4 view

The jointed hands from Legend Doll I got him are an okay match, but its obviously different. Charmdoll white is paper white, Legend Doll white is a off white color, I think it would look okay with cuffs hiding the difference but its not a great match

 

Thank you so much for the photos and the review @GreenTeaSlug He is gorgeous I absolutely adore his face up as well, it makes him look very soft and prince-like, and I think it suits him even better than the official promo look (not to mention the official promo hat is just a tad too small for his head!) The face proportions are on point and his cheekbones are to die for

 

I was wondering about the white. I have two heads from the discontinuation they did, and they both have an undertone and aren't paper white. I wonder if it's a batch difference or they changed it.

 

@Bristol Is it blank or did they blush it?
I noticed that my Loongsoul's face had peach undertones, but the back of the head and the headcap was paper white, so it might be heavy blushing. Im going to be sending her off to a faceup because I didnt like LS's faceup, it didnt look as nice as the promo pictures.

I can take a picture of the headcaps if you want? Loongsoul and Charmdoll are sister companies so they use the same resin. Both resin is the solid one, before they changed to the french resin. Fusang is a year older, so

I can take a picture of LS white headcap + CD white headcap + Legend doll white hands on white paper for more realistic color if you would like?

edit: I went ahead and did it since I had time to kill lol



In the photo it looks very similar, but in person CD is quite a bit whiter than the legend doll and LS doll white, I think once CD mellows out a bit, it will look like legend doll and Loongsoul, because I remember LS being stark white when she arrived too

@Dei Thank you! I saw Sean in the prince look before they debuted him in the black suit, he had the prince outfit and was photographed as a prince next to Joanna the princess. I loved that look so much and was so happy that CD said they would paint him for me in the prince style

 

No, I purchased both heads blank. I do have LoongSoul's in white, pink and tan and even the whites aren't paper white. (Granted they're several years old now, but they didn't arrive paper white)

When I think paper white, I think ResinSoul.

 

Any 1/6 Charmdoll discussions?

 

I’m planning to order CharmDoll Anthee and Michelle soon. I think I sill havd Michelle on layaway at Alice’s Collections and purchase Anthee in full. How long have you waited guys for these dolls to be done? Does it really take 3 friggin months???? I hope not that long.. 2 months is tolerable, could not wait 3 months

Your doll loooks gorgeous! How long did you wait for him?

 

Thank you! I waited four months, but I made an order through Taobao's website

 

@Blueberries Did you order through a dealer on Taobao or does Charmdoll have their own shop? I've been eyeing Baron myself.

 

I ordered the doll through a dealer in Russia, the order was made from this store )

@Blueberries Thanks for the link! I've been compiling for myself a list of Taobao shops and official dealers for Chinese BJD companies.

 

Oh goodie! Thanks for the link! I can see more sculpts here that aren’t available to some dealer sites. It must have been a pain to wait but he is definitely worth it. He is just a very handsome doll.

 

Charm doll all very beautiful! All dolls of this company are amazing :3
Make the order through Taobao, you will not regret )

 

I been eyeing charm doll SDs but how do they pose? Any issues?

 

I haven't received mine yet (maybe need to pay him off first!) but I've seen some posing photos over at Flickr:

Hopefully this helps

 

Mine came strung extremely tight and has pretty limited posing, but I might've just been unlucky. And it's kinda my fault for being too chicken to even try restringing her.

 

:O
Does it really pose that bad right after got it out of the box? too bad it needs to be restrung.
