DIKADOLL Jointed Hands Discussion

Thank you for the pics sharing Katyok
In fact, it's good that you didn't re-order the DK NS hands. Cuz the color will not match, either. DK NS is too light for Soom. You'd end up blush anyway.

 

Thank you so much for those pictures Katyok! I have the Soom jointed hands for my Sabik, but I always thought they were too small. You've totally convinced me to change over to the Dika ones instead... Can't wait till they get here

 

What about AoD NS-yellow and DK NS-yellow?
With photo, if possible. Thank you!

 

Someone waaaaaayyyyy back in the middle of 2009 mentioned that the 60 cm hands didn't fit right on a Domuya Flexi Perennial arm. I'm curious as to whether the colour was workable. Also, were the 70 cm Dikahands ever tried on a Domuya FP? I'm specifically looking for the girl hands, but the boy hands are okay because I can imagine the size difference.

And how about the 70 cm hands on a Soom SG, rather than MA? Too big?

 

I don't know for sure but i donit think the 70cm hands would fit a Domuya FP. The one i have is really skinny and wears Delf hands. the 60cm DK hands are bigger than the Delf hands. I cant change the hands because in order to get them on my Domuya body i'd have to crush the shooks...i dont have any small enough to get in the Domuya arm holes.

 

The_Alychmist, how different are the FP wrist sockets to the regular flexibody sockets, do you have any idea? If they're not terribly so, the 60cm hands should fit just fine, though I'm not sure about the 70cm ones. (If the 60cm fit, the 70cm would probably be too big.) My El has the 60cm hands and he's on a type N flexibody.

 

I'm dying to know about these hands on a female flexi-p body...

 

Bunches of thanks to everyone who posted on this thread so far!

I can now contribute a little since I just got a pair of WS 1/3 boy hands. The color is a near perfect match for the Dolkot realskin body I received at the very end of December. Dikadoll's resin is smoother than Dolkot's, but other than that, the match is very, very close. The wrist ball joints are big compared to the body's slim forearms, but I don't mind since the mobility is excellent. I'm actually impressed by how easily and accurately the fingers and the wrists can pose!

I compared Dikadoll's WS to other WS resins I have home and it is in general too dark and peachy to match.

I didn't have time to take any pictures yet, but if ever you'd like some, don't hesitate to ask.

 

I ordered mine on ebay from the registered seller. They arrived fairly fast & ahead of schedule yesterday and I was quite eager to put them on Balsamine (who is an AOD MSD Fei with white skin) and I have to say, the Dikadoll hands looks really nice! The wrist joint is a little large and I am thinking about sanding them down. Also the color is just slightly a tiny bit pinker than the white skin, but I doubt most people would notice. Anyways, here's a few pictures! [taken inside at night but still...]

Rock On Balsmaine!


And a comparison shot of the regular hand size vs. Dikadoll jointed hand



Sorry if the pictures are gigantic! I keep re-sizing them and they keep loading as large...

 

I just placed an order from the registered ebay seller for a pair of white skined jointed MSD hands; they will be for my Ringdoll Rebecca when she gets here too, I will definatly post pictures of them when they arrive! I cant wait!!

 

I know it shows on the page a souldoll normal, but is souldoll really that dark? I heard they were closer to the Delf colors. I was thinking about getting a pair of the girl hands for my incoming girl, but I don't know how drastic the color change is going to be from souldoll normal to dika yellow normal.. any ideas?

I do wish the SD hands had the same detail on the back of the hand (veins, knuckles, etc) as the 70cm ones though.. boo.

 

There is a second version of the SD hands that have the detail you're looking for (check post #2): http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=314370

 

ah yeah~ but I had wanted the girl ones; I dont think the girl ones have the detail and stuff (i like knuckles and the bones, so i figured the girls would have a little definition instead of glove-flat). Thanks for pointing that out though!

 

Here are my new dikadoll hands on spiritdoll body. If my camera fails my eyes dont... its a PERFECT match.... this is white hands/white body and I needed to mod the wrist joint A LOT to get it to fit properly.

 

Those are really brilliant photos - thank you so much!

 

feather, thank you so much for posting these photos!!!! I've noticed you have DiM hand (MSD I assume) comparison. How do you find the resin match in 'real life'? The sunlight photo seems really good match, but the photo in shadow seems a bit off. Or maybe it's my computer

But thanks so much for posting, I am so happy now

 

aaaahh! you are awesome!! thank you so much, that really helps. I think I will go with white as well. I can always blush it if I want to

yay!!! thanks feather

 

Do we have a confirmation on a Volks match for Dikadoll yellow? Also, has anyone ordered the 'type 2' boy hands? Is there a big difference between the original 60cm boy hands and the new ones?

 

In the order we had, both type 1 and type 2 hands were ordered. The white pair are type 2, the pink pair type 1. The main difference as far as I saw it was that type 1 both lacked the details of veins and that type 1 looked more feminine than the other pair.

 

I took the plunge and bought a pair of 1/3 female short nail white skin hands from the ebay seller (they shipped quick!).
Jointed hands = love.
Not a seam to be seen anywhere, the metal loops for the s-hooks seem to be embedded in the resin, meaning they won't (or shouldn't) pull out, and they have lovely manicured fingernails that stick out just a tiny bit from the tip of the fingers.
My only thought is that maybe the stringing hole at the base of the thumb perhaps could have been a little wider, and this may have allowed a wider range of motion, but it's so minor. Perhaps one day when I need to restring them I'll do so.

As I'm sure many others have said, compared to CP Beauty White resin, the Dikadoll white is more on the pink side, but meh, it doesn't really bother me. If someone really wants Dikadoll jointed hands for their CP BW doll, and the colour difference bothers them, they could hang them in the window for a while, or even blush the parts that are in between the joints more yellow- the joints would have a slight pinkish tinge that would look quite nice and wouldn't rub off (reminds me of the 'pink knee' Unoas).

If someone is unsure which size they want to get for their doll, you can do what I did, which was take the Dikadoll jointed hands picture with the measuring tapes, scale that to real size using an image editing program, print it, then carefully cut the hands out. It gives you a pretty accurate idea of size when you hold it in your hand. I cut out all three sizes, it's a fun reference. The 70cm hands are huge compared to the 1/3 girl hands!

gothspider: don't know if you'll read this, but did you use the 70cm hands on your Spiritdoll boy? Or the v.2 1/3 boy hands? I'm considering the body, and it'd be great to know which hands will fit (even if they do require modding). Thanks!
