Crobidoll Discussion Part V

I literally gasped and said, 'wowwwww' - he's so dreamy and beautiful, congratulations!!!

 

Thank you~! I absolutely adore him~! One of my favorite limited releases from Crobidoll. I missed his initial raffle sale so I was very fortunate to find someone who was wanting to transfer their pre-order.

 

hello folx, happy new year! i'm popping in on the off-chance that any crobi owners have both a crobi doll in tan resin and also a luts doll in either tan or light tan (not real skin brown)? i'm trying to see if either crobi tan/luts tan or crobi tan/luts light tan may be an acceptable resin match! i have a thread in photo reference here: https://denofangels.com/threads/luts-light-tan-tan-vs-crobidoll-tan.851048/ if you have any photos or insight, i would highly appreciate~

 

Popping in to share some lance love. Marcell....

Hi! I was wondering if any of you had any photos of a blank M-line Ys or R-line Lance, I feel it might be a bit easier to find Lance since they're more popular. I'm currently trying to shell one of my grail characters

 

So, I just received my first SD doll last week; a Limited Crobidoll Lance. I absolutely ADORE him. He's a bit "floppier" than I anticipated but he is so beautiful and his face just speaks to my heart. He has definitely become my favorite boy and I find myself just wanting to stare at him! I feel like I don't see too many Crobidoll around. I wanted to discuss with others who have a Crobidoll and if you feel the same pull I do? What drew you to Crobidoll? I first became aware of them through the Otome game, Nameless, and just couldn't get it out of my head. I'm so glad I followed through with that feeling!

He is beautiful! I love the Lance sculpt

 

I'm still at a loss for what to do with my M line girl (chaste body, I think?). She does not balance even a little bit, even when sitting. She's currently sitting on the lowest shelf on my bookcase, supported by walls on both the side and behind her, but if I even move the doll next to her that's bracing her other side, she slides down onto her back. What? How? How do I fix this?

 

Is it her stringing? Elastic can lose its tension over time and will no longer be able to support the doll or hold it tightly enough.

 

Oh that’s entirely possible! I’d never really considered it as I’ve had dolls recently that couldn’t really sit because of weird engineering choices and I assumed this might be more of the same. Will look into it!

 

*drops in, posts a photo of genderswapped Lance* 13 years with me. Still as lovely as on the day of her arrival.

 

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the Lance sculpt so much

 

I love Lance too - such a fantastic sculpt. I enjoy what everyone else has done with their boy Lances, but I could only ever see a girl in that face... but an androgynous one and a particular kind of girl archetype/trope. So that's what my girl Syr is now.

 

Absolutely! My Lance, Dimitri, is male but I give him a very androgynous look. I feel like that particular sculpt lends to such!

 

Does any one have photos of the three female bodies avaliable? I couldn't find any...

 

This is a LONG shot, but if there are any old-timers here who remember Crobi's history...

I'm looking up the release history of Daydream Lance, the very original version released by Crobidoll back in ... I want to say 2011? 2012?

My question: When Crobi first released limited Daydream Lance, did he come in normal skin or "soft white" skin? (Soft white was limited edition at first.) Was there an option of skintone?

Thanks in advance - I'm hoping that the DoA brains trust will come through for me!

 

@aihre :
The first version was released May 2009, according to the Internet Archive: Lance ~Day Dream~ Limited, and was only in NS and limited to 30!

Version 2 was 2010 - Heart Queen version, in Sherbet White (limited to 2), and then again in 2011 in NS as a time limited.

Good luck in your search!

 

Thank you so much for digging through Archive for those! I was under the impression that white-skinned DD Lance had more releases, but I might've been mistaken... maybe more were released later? I'll keep looking, thank you~

 

Hi @aihre - I've been looking for similar info too about the newer releases of LanceDD, and it's tough since their website change over, even the standard Lance with the artist collabs are hard to find now... but, there was a LanceDD release in 2020 for "Wisteria" faceup, and they offered milk white, normal and cookie cream that time. Dolk's site still has the old ad up, plus some others, but I know Dolk's sales might not always coincide with the factory releases since they do special collabs as well. a lot of the old ads do not give the sale period sadly.

my LanceDD is a cookie cream, and has a birthday in 2023, but the new site doesn't seem to keep the limited sale records that well. I have no idea how I missed this sale originally, I got him second hand.

I hope I can figure out how to get more future notice for the cookie cream resin especially, I'd love to get him a body in the CC tone. it's very hard to find any comparisons of this resin tone. I love him in the milk and soft whites too I hope they do another sale period sometime soon, I've only the standard Lance in a soft white so far.

 

@Grimalkin Yes, it's sad and a bit frustrating that so much of this old information is now lost with website changes and such. I'm looking far back in Crobi's history about Daydream Lance because, as far as I know, there are two versions. The original version was released during the "Crobidoll - Cross Ambition" days - it has a closed mouth and is basically the same as the normal Lance sculpt, save with dreaming eyes. The second version has teeth sculpted in, and is the current version of DD Lance available in Dolk collaborations, etc.

I want a DD Lance as an alt head for my very old soft-white Lance girl, but for personal and aesthetic reasons, I want the original closed-mouth, not the open-mouth. I'm trying to track the history and figure out when the releases changed over to the open-mouthed version, so I can vet secondhand sales. I don't mind getting a white-skinned one that doesn't quite match my girl's skintone, but I refuse to have one with teeth.

 

Hi @aihre - ooh yes, I can imagine that's tough, it's very hard to tell about the version, my COA doesn't say 1 vs 2, just R line, but he is Ver2 with the little teeth. The Dolk site shows the Wisteria version as Ver1, so you might get lucky there.
I wonder if Crobi would answer you about it in their Q&A forum given the website changes?

in case it's interesting, the teeth are not very defined, you might be able to do a light fill with PVA glue for closed lips appearance, if it comes to that. I hope you can find the one you want
