Creature Doll! Armored Beauties ready for Adventure

Why do my favorite doll companies all offer new dolls at the same time? I love CreatureDoll Angela, love her gown, love her hair. Want her in the brown skin. I would order her immediately but I'm waiting for Iplehouse to release the new FIDs. I can only afford one doll. This is torture.

 

Does anyone here have other MSDS, with slightly bigger heads, and can snap a few comparison pics for me by chance?
I saw Lucia and she's so, so pretty (and I've also been tempted by Raccoon Doll's elf Daisy... elves are my weakness), but I already have a Withdoll Angela who is 41cm/12mm eyes/16cm (6") head and wears a 6-7 wig and I'm not sure how strange she might look next to a fashion sized bjd...? I've also wanted to get some Souldolls/Unoa, who I believe are close to Angela's size (albeit perhaps a smidge bigger, as Angela's head is a bit small even for typical Withdolls).

I want all of my bjds to exist in the same world so they have to look at least.... passable next to each other |D; Angela is like, my golden child so if it doesn't look okay next to her (let alone the other dolls...), I'll have to refrain, so I thought it was worth asking.

 

Thankyou, that would be lovely!
(btw, does the name under your username refer a Elder Scrolls oc? Figured I'd ask, since it looks like an orc name and follows their naming patterns)

 

@Epona - Here is a comparison photo of my CreatureDoll Lucia with WithDolls Egon and Angela.

In my opinion Angela works with CreatureDoll because her facial features are smaller than other WithDoll sculpts, like Egon's.

 

Oo, Angela is lovely too! I'm sticking to my plan of getting a tan Lucia at the moment, but I wouldn't mind picking up that dress and wig.

@vermont chick : I know - that new FID body is even tempting me, and I don't plan on making a large collection in this size... If Iplehouse does more fantasy FIDs, though, all bets may be off.


Edit: Before I post on their Q&A, does anyone happen to know if heel feet are included now with a doll order? If it says on the site, I can't find it.

 

@Sianserais - I don't think the heel feet are included automatically. You could try adding the heel feet to your doll order, but it's probably best to ask first. Otherwise you could end up with an extra pair of feet. I was surprised by how high Creature Doll's heel feet are. They're stiletto high!

It doesn't sound like there are any fantasy FIDs in this next batch, but I'm definitely on board for more elf sculpts.

@skyealloway - I would have expected something more for Christmas, too. Maybe there will be something in mid-December.

 

Oh that doesn't look bad at all! Thankyou! I'll have to keep her in mind -- Lucia is so tempting... I was promising myself that I should get Asherah a brother first (Withdoll Aiden) or my dark elf character (Souldoll Kuu) so I will have to take it one step at a time, but this is very useful, thankyou!

 

Say, did anyone else see this notice, or am I the only one who didn't realize it wasn't just the faceups that changed on two of the dolls? I don't mind the difference - Lucia's still my favorite so far, and this will just make my second even more unique.
LUCIA & LILITH Head RenewalNotice - CREATURE DOLL

I've posted the question, and left it public while I was at it, so anyone should be able to see the answer. ^_^

 

Ooh, I hadn't noticed that! I love the smaller eyes. The reshaped jaw gives the entire face a slimmer look. The girls will work much better with my FID and Raccoon ladies. More temptation--just what I needed.

 

Okay, so the answer is that basic dolls only come with Type1 flat feet by default, so we were correct.

I like both versions about equally, but they definitely seem to be expressing different personalities. Wonder why the change? ...At least it's easier to mod eyes larger than smaller, if you wanted to, right?
Generally, I tend to prefer my dolls with slightly larger-than-realistic eyes (just not huge ones), but it depends on the overall look.

 

So I just spent the last hour or so wandering around the house going, "Didn't I order you heel feet? I swear I ordered you feet with those swords. I would never have ordered you shoes and not feet. So WHERE ARE THEY?"
I remember setting them aside, still in the bubblewrap, white I was checking out the weapons. They're not with Lucia, not with her extra hands, not in my drawer of appendages, or in the box of 1/4 size clothing, or around my desk, or even in the stack of packing materials waiting to be reused... I can't find them ANYWHERE and I'm starting to think I accidentally tossed them out somehow.
Now watch - if I order her a new pair, the first ones will magically reappear.


Also - looks like there are some cute new wigs on the site? And Mei's outfit seems to be available again.

Edit: Finally ordered my tan Lucia! Plus extras.

 

@Sianserais - Congrats on your tan Lucia order! I can't wait to see how the tan looks in owner photos. Do you have a tan FID or Raccoon girl you can compare with her when she arrives?

Also hope you find your heel feet. I lose stuff like that all the time. Something I had in hand one week will disappear the next and I won't find it again for months. I've also been known to paw through the same box multiple times before something turns up, right there where it was supposed to be. If you stop looking for them, maybe you'll suddenly remember where you put them.

 

@vermont chick : Sorry, my only other 1/4 scale dolls right now are my JIDs. Raccoon doll still fails to interest me, and while I do like some of the FID sculpts, I probably won't really be tempted unless they do a mini Elf-Grace. I think I've convinced myself I don't need mini-versions of dolls I already own. (Plus, the FIDM body is too big/muscular for the character I would want one for right now.)

@skyealloway : Oh, that's awesome! Though I don't think I would use the armor itself, sadly, I notice the clothing part of her fullset is available separately, and I really like that one. Might have to see if I can add it to my order...
