Do you have any preference about "twins"?

I have four tan Bambicrony Emilys...and technically, none of them are twins! Lorina and Mariana are the closest - the same girl reincarnated. They're interchangeable, done up exactly the same except one has a sleeping head and the other is open eyed. I also have Lorina as an adult (Iplehouse Rexy). Lorina's daughter Emie is an Emily as well. The fourth is just an "Emily." They all have the default makeup from Bambicrony as it is gorgeous.

 

One normal and one sleeping/dreaming is my favorite way to do twins (my oldest doll is the dreaming half of our first pair of twins, and I love that the two dolls are identical in every way but expression), but we've also got a pair of twins who are both dreaming (with the same faceup but different hair colors) in the house at the moment because my wife and I both loved the sculpt so we have one each. I've also had fraternal twins who were totally different sculpts, one boy and one girl, who really only looked alike in faceup colors and hair color. There's a lot of different ways to do it.

 

I wish I had the money for twins!

 

There are quite a few dolls that I would love to get as twins, either exactly the same just with different wigs and such, or with two different makeup options!

 

I had twins at one point, but they where not identical twins. I had a girl and boy and they where totally different sculpts too, but they had a similar feels because they where from the same company. If I where to do identical twins I would likely prefer to find normal and dreaming heads, just to get that slight difference, but if not I can still see doing it with the same heads, just with slightly different faceups!

 

I like all those options o.o I am just a huge twin lover! But it sounds lovely to have a normal and a sleepy one, I think I would really choose that myself because it gives both dolls a different expression to the same face ^^ But two of the same sculpt with different face-up would also be soooo nice help

 

I have two IH Cherie. One is with yellow/brown eyes, and dressed as a Arabian Princess, with dark hair. The second one is a Fairy Princess with blue eyes and blonde hairs. They look so beautiful, but still different I was also considering ordering two Delf Arwen a while ago, and regret I didn't do so.. I only ordered one.

 

I have a pair of twins here; they're based on existing characters, so it wasn't a matter of indecision that got me both of them. They're both from the same company, and will ultimately have similar faceups, but their hair and eye color are both different (based on the hair and eye color of their parents).

I also have some "duplicate" sculpts, but they're in different sizes, and they're the same character, so they aren't exactly "twins." In that case, that was a matter of "I love this sculpt I want all of it."

 

For me, and thinking about the twin girls I would love to have but never will (XD), I would buy the same sculpt in the same skin tone but then have them with slightly different make-ups, hairstyles and colours.
I guess it is something conditioned by my native language. We use different words for dizygotic (fraternal) twins and monozygotic (identical) twins so, when I hear the word "twins" in English, my head will redirect me to the definition of identical twins.

 

I am planning to get twins someday to fit my characters, identical twin boys! I just have no idea which sculpt I want for them yet, I've been searching... They're definitely going to be MSDs though!

 

Technically I have three of the same Little Monica sculpt, but they are variants! Basic Roselyn has open eyes, Gloomy Roselyn has dreamy eyes, and Secret Roselyn has one eye fully closed and one dreamy eyelid. They are not triplets in the story I've made but I did do a little character explanation since Secret and basic Roselyn are in the same area. Aries is a goddess and chose to take Rain's form when coming down from the stars to visit them! But otherwise they're all painted differently, and two are NS while one is white.

 

I guess it depends if you want Identical twins or not, my only twins are the same sculpt, but I'm styling them differently and want different expressions for their face ups~~

 

I'm planning a set of fraternal twins that are brother and sister, so I'd like to have similar but ultimately different sculpts (I'm thinking Migidoll). For identical twins, I'd go for the same sculpt but with subtle differences (different face-ups or a tender-eyed version).

 

I want a set of twins also. I want them to be littlefees or some YOSD size doll. I know I want them to be identical girls, so that I can get them cute little dresses.

 

Me and my sister are twins! I love for twin the normal version amd sleep version

 

I love the idea of twins in any form! Perhaps one day.

 

I have an accidental set of twins/triplets - I bought the Iplehouse Lisa sculpt fullset in NS from the Addiction series when it was first released, then grabbed up the same fullset in gray skin a year later secondhand. And then IH put another gray Lisa, with a custom faceup, into their auction sale listings, and I was the only bidder! I really wasn't thinking of them as twins when they came to me - but after I got them dressed and styled, I realized they had the same "look" to them. Apparently I not only like the same sculpt, but I like the same general type of clothing and wigs for all of them, too.

 

depends on the character but also fraternal vs identical.
With fraternal nothing much matters, just make them look related and it's all good lol. I actually have triplet dolls that are off topic on my shelf but with them I decided 2 would be identical and 1 wouldn't. The unidentical one has darker red hair. the identical ones have the same colour hair in different styles. Because I COULD, I also selected to have slightly different expressions so August has this little smirky smile and Cass looks a bit less impish in his grin.

I've got plans for identical resin boys but only if I can find the right sculpt. They'll be the same sculpt UNLESS I can find a company that'll do the same basic sculpt with different expressions (you know like souldoll has their smirking joelle and angry one and similar?) because ideally one should be smiling and the other should look sombre to capture their personalities better. I may have to just paint them carefully to achieve that.
But they'll have the same skin tone, same hair and eye colour, just different styles of hair and clothing and if I can manage it, different expressions. they may look identical, but they are different people after all.

Husband's just bought a doll of one of his characters too, and she has a twin brother so i'm sure he'll be gotten at some point. but they look absolutely nothing alike lol. She takes after her mother, he looks nothing like either parent because recessive genes wheee.

But yeah, I kinda like to approach twins by considering them as people first and if they're identical, pondering how their personalities are similar but different and how they might style and hold themselves to differentiate, or if they enjoy dressing the same and acting like clones (some twins do)

one day i'll find a perfect sculpt for my twin boys. One that's grinning or smiling and the other who looks all serious... yessss. In the right scale... *headdesk*

 

When first joining the hobby I did not want to get twins or any doll that had the sleep face. Three years after getting my Bambicrony Amy ,I spotted the 1st version sleepface doll and fell instantly in love with her. I got her at a really great price. So far my tan Bambicrony twins are the only set of twins I have in my collection.
